Frontier has the mechanic of getting monsters as pets. This includes Rajang, Yian Garuga and others. However, thse pets function as nothing else than arena battles for other players. You can improve your pets stats to make the fight harder, but that's about it. The pet mechanic is simply a arena battle with the player you attack choosing what monster you have to battle, which is the attacked players pet.
