The Tamer is the HeroJob with the greatest number of possible uses, because the Three-legged Labradoodle (whose name is randomly generated) can carry out a wide variety of commands. The two most important allow the dog to carry items into the Town and to help on Watch. The effects can even be improved by feeding a Tasty-looking Steak beforehand. However, only one command can be carried out per day.
On Watch the Defence is increased by +5 (independent of the WATCH! command).
In Explorable Ruins, Tamers have a direction indicator to locate the exit. It does not indicate the safest route, just a guide to the direction to the exit.
When using the Tamer Experiment Center as a tamer, more rare animals or just more of same kind can be found.
Tamers should always drop their source of (Food, Water Ration, Drugs, Alcohol) that is needed to return to town before using the GOOD DOG! command, otherwise the Labradoodle will take them to town as well, leaving the Tamer stuck in the World Beyond.
