Path of The Bestial Spirit.

Those that follow the path of the Bestial Spirit, given audience with the spirits of Apex Predators. Those that receive this title are said to be accompanied by an animal spirit that embodies them best. These barbarians are destined to lead armies – warriors who are gifted greatly in the ways of fighting with a gruesome nature.

The Spirit Animal can be a number of different creatures. 〔Left up to flavor, though must be an Apex Predator.〕
