Tame
Naturalists also have an additional option in some combats; if fighting an animal -- a rat or fish, for example -- A Naturalist can try to Tame the animal. Taming an animal will give exp, but less than if the creature was defeated in combat, and the creature will not drop items.
You stretch out your hand, making a fist but extending your pinky and thumb. You make an odd keening noise while slowly rotating your fist back and forth. The trick works, and the animal decides you're a friend instead of a foe!
