Any Saddle You can ride any tamed creature, including ones the game cannot saddle (a wolf and so on)
Beast Bearer Crouch and use a small tamed animal to carry it in your arms, through portals too; crouch and use again to set it down
Beast Portal Tamed animals that follow you go through portals and dungeon entrances with you
Any Beast You can tame any animal
Herd Call Commanding one tamed animal commands every tamed animal within 30 m; a follower left farther than that stays behind
Tamed animals within 30 m follow you as a group; step farther away and they stay behind, so you can break off
