Beastmaster (job)

The Beastmaster , also known as Trainer and abbreviated as BST , is a job class that appears in various titles in the Final Fantasy series. Beastmasters are characterized by wearing clothing similar to one who works with animals. Beastmasters have been known to use weapons from daggers to axes to whips. Their stats are usually physical in nature and their abilities include the ability to catch monsters and release them on their opponents, and can also control the actions of opponents and lure them away.
