Just as Titan has Hunters, Trappers and Beastmasters, to deal with its varied and dangerous wildlife, so too does it have VINE WRANGLERS to work with its carnivorous plants and fungi. These are rugged individuals, well used to working in densely forested terrain, with plenty of knowledge of herbs and plants. Vine Wranglers will be wearing a Leather Jack and are equipped with a rope and lantern, as well as a club and dagger. They will also have one main weapon; roll on the table below to determine what:

Vine Wranglers are known especially from Pangaria, where they are charged with taming the exotic flora of that magical archipelago. This is especially true of the garden isle of Cirrus, where one of the foremost proponents of this profession is the highly-reputed Silas. Other peoples also make excellent Vine Wranglers for various reasons, and include Wood Elves, Gnomes, Dryaden, Jungle Elves, Flayers and even Dark Elves. Indeed, for a time a Dark Elf Vine Wrangler found employment in the city of Arion as a gardener to Baron den Snau! They can also make an excellent addition to any party of Heroes for their various skills, and especially so if the Heroes are venturing into trackless jungles and misty forests!
