Your Ikran (Mountain Banshee) is fiercely protective of you. It doesn't like when you bond to another animal (Ex: Direhorse). It was not easy taming it in the beginning that's for sure. It made you work for it, flying higher and higher up the rookery until it was satisfied that you were determined to make the bond with it.

Now, the beautiful Ikran sat by your Hometree with you. It nudged you with its face and chirped. These were times where it is playful and not on alert.
