Nether Canine

What if you can get an ally from the nether? Well the nether canine would be an great example.

You would find these creatures in small quantities in the nether, and unlike wolves, these creatures are hostile, so they'll pummel you with fire-bases ranged and melee attacks.

But like I pointed out before, the nether canine can be tamed, but it's not an easy task.

1. Encapsulate the canine in the nether so that it won't run away or kill you while taming the canine.

2. Feed it a blaze rod to start the taming process.

3. Wait for 20 - 30 seconds to feed the canine again. this 5 second window is shown when the canine is has a brighter texture and a sizzling sound.

4. Repeat the third step 1 - 2 more times, and you have a new pet!

The tamed nether canine will now follow you and attack any hostile mob around with its flaming attacks, and with 40 hearts of health, this new ally can last pretty long. You can also heal the canine with nether-related items, such as magma cream, blaze powder, and nether wart.
