One of my first and most loved professions in Star Wars Galaxies was the Creature Handler. In pre-game dream mode I never thought of being a Creature Handler at all. Being able to tame and control pets didn’t seem to top my list of things to do in a Star Wars game. I had dreams of being a Bounty Hunter or a Smuggler or even possibly a rich, powerful merchant able to buy my own fleet of ships. But that all changed when I saw my first Rancor.
In the early, early days of Star Wars Galaxies, you didn’t have to be a Creature Handler to have pets. You had to be one to tame a wild pet and to train it commands, but once that was done CH’s were able to transfer control for a fee. I bought my first Rancor when I was still a tailor just starting to dabble in combat training. I needed that thing just to be able to venture away from town to my mineral mines. Once the devs put a fix in to make you have to be a CH to control those pets, I quickly became one and didn’t look back. Well not until CH got the big nerf. By then, I had some of the best pets in the game. My prized possession was my Arachne Webmaster. That thing could nearly tank a Krayt Dragon by itself. I really look forward to being a CH again in SWG Emu.
