Small game trap

s are used to capture a non-mount animal for use as a pet. These animals are peaceful, always retreat when approached and don't retaliate when attacked. It can take many tries to successfully capture an animal, so bring extra traps. The chance of success is higher with high animal training skill and low level animals.

To use a trap, equip it and approach the animal, but don't get too close so that it runs away. If the trap engages the target, right-click on the animal and immediately run up to it and left-click on it to pick it up (you only have about 3 seconds before the trap breaks). This can be very tricky in open spaces as the animal will immediately start moving away. Trapping an animal is much easier when they are cornered in a restricted space so they can't run away. When trapping a cornered animal, you can get much closer before using the trap.

A captured animal will appear in your inventory and can be tamed as a pet. Both tame and untamed pets can be stored in a.
