58 57 TEXT_CTSETCXBMLOOSEFROXTALK_00992_LOOSEFROX_000_082 Rarebeasts may be of the same species, but something about them looks different. They may have a special colorshine or oddfronds or some such thing.

62 61 TEXT_CTSETCXBMLOOSEFROXTALK_00992_LOOSEFROX_000_100 Mankind and beastfriends have worked together since time immemorial, so no one knows for sure when and how today's “beastmasters” came to be.
63 62 TEXT_CTSETCXBMLOOSEFROXTALK_00992_LOOSEFROX_000_101 Some are more famous than others─griffin breeders in Ala Mhigo, for instance, or warriors from the former Republic of Landis. Each tradition of beastmastery is different, and many bloomthrive to this day.
64 63 TEXT_CTSETCXBMLOOSEFROXTALK_00992_LOOSEFROX_000_102 Our tradition began with beastmasters who befriended enormous toads called Kornago. Or so they say!
65 64 TEXT_CTSETCXBMLOOSEFROXTALK_00992_LOOSEFROX_000_103 What we value most is the kinbonds we forge with beastfriends.
66 65 TEXT_CTSETCXBMLOOSEFROXTALK_00992_LOOSEFROX_000_104 Which is why we don't tightbind them. Battlehorns may call them when we need them, but in the meantime, our beastfriends freelive where and how they please.
