'''Beastmaster'''s are [[Dark Eldar]] that subjugate deadly beasts for use in war or in the gladiatorial arenas of [[Commorragh]], and the . The wild hunts they stage in the arenas remain a popular favourite of the crowds. Although the Beastmasters are part of the [[Wych Cult]]s, they keep themselves distant from the [[Wych]]es and are also predominantly male, unlike the mostly female Wyches.<sup>1</sup>
Some suspect that Beastmasters have roots in shamanic traditions, as when entering batle they adorn themselves in totems and masks that echo the beats under their control. Infact, their masks contain complex sonic emitters and pheromone traps that can partially control the beasts. Although all Beastmasters, even unmasked, have a natural ability to dominate lower creatures.<sup>1</sup>
