Monster Fighter

The Monster Fighter contrary to its name is more akin to a researcher or animal tamer. A monster fighter spends much of his life in careful observation of the creatures of their world, both mundane and mystical. With this knowledge they they find inventive and unique ways to form symbiotic relationships with these creatures, not unlike one forms with a pet or a tamed animal. The monster fighter themselves is normally a more classic fighter, their skills not being particularly unique, but the monsters providing that extra ability to set them apart. Though it should also be stated that in most societies the use of monsters in this way is an oddity if not abberant or looked on with disgust or hate.
