Let non-hostile critters be wrangled like bees can

[Houka]

If you punch a nice spider, they will bite the ever-living shit out of you, but each bite does minimal brute damage.

I'm all for something like this. Some pets (Jones, fat and sassy bee) should still be impossible to wrangle due to being too grumpy, but it should be possible to wrangle other critters and bring them back from Telescience as pets or whatever.
