Affected pets

Receiving the attribute boosts:

• Porcine
  • Juvenile Boar
  • Juvenile Pig
  • Juvenile Siamoth
  • Juvenile Wallow
  • Juvenile Warthog

• Ursine
  • Juvenile Arctodus
  • Juvenile Black Bear
  • Juvenile Brown Bear

Notes

• The taunt is applied 1 second after the skill is used.

Anomaly:

Soulbeasts can apply taunt after using their pet's F2 skill, then immediately merge and apply another taunt from their F3 skill, but not the other way around. This may be because the trait's cooldown is shared when merged, but independent when not.
