A multi-guild system that begins with rangers being able to capture live animals in cage traps that are set out in any wilderness area. When a trap is placed on the ground it is seen simply as a trap line. when looked upon, one can see a series of traps (1 to 4) and their contents. Small traps can be carried empty or full by hand but it cannot fit in any container. Large traps can be carried empty, but when loaded only a traders caravan can be used for transport. The trader now can negotiate the catch and sell it accordingly.

The main buyer of the creatures is the arena where they are sold to prospective warriors of any guild for a steep cost. The combatant may have up to three companions to assist in the battle. All creatures have their full fighting capabilities and idiosyncrasies making it the ultimate training program.

Creature training offered in the arena would surely attract attention and at times draw good crowds of spectators and gamblers. Perhaps door fees could be included for those 'special' events.

I was suddenly reminded of Jurassic Park Lost World when the T-Rex escapes and briefly runs through the city eating dogs, people, and taxis.

It would be truly awesome to have creature combat in an arena setting, a la the gladiatorial games of classical times. It'd be amusing to go watch, gamble on, and even participate. People could square off against the challenges in the arena and be compared against a "standard." I just think it'd be super nifty. In short.
