Raise a baby cub all the way to a fierce predatory battle cat!

EA Mythic spoke with Gamespot and has revealed the final class for the Elves in Warhammer Online - The White Lion. While you do not actually play the lion itself, you are it's elven companion. It fills the Role of DPS for the Elves, and really shines when you work in concert with your companion.

It sounds like training your personal war lion allows for an even greater level of customization. What are the different ways to approach raising your lion? Will they become sad without enough tender loving care, like the puppies in Nintendogs?

AG: The war lion is meant to be a long-term companion unlike the disposable (yet lovable) squigs the squig herder gets. As such, we wanted to give players more options on their pet since they will only get one. These options are fairly simple but significant and include naming your pet and choosing distinctive fur patterns and markings when you first receive your lion. This allows for different white lion players to have semiunique war lions to accompany them. These distinctive markings stay with your war lion for the life of your character and dictate what your fully grown war lion will look like. Yes, I said fully grown; and yes, you get the war lion as an adolescent, and it grows as the player grows.
