In addition, these amazing creatures can be tamed and trained to carry one or two riders into the air.  Some are trained as show animals performing spectacular flights or acting as "dragons" in various holovid productions.  Those that keep trained branths make sure to restrict contact to specially trained keepers.  While they may be tame, their sheer size and strength make them quite dangerous. Branths can inflict heavy damage on people and even [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [[BattleMech]]s.<ref name="hs55"/> An angered branth can be deadly.
