How a page might look after simply being copy-and-pasted from another web page:

Some are friendly, some are ferocious - yet they all have one thing in common. Each creature shares a special connection with Rangers. Rangers track, tame, and slay all manner of animals and beasts found in the wild. Whether they rely on bows or firearms, Rangers consider their weapons and pets to be their only true friends.
Strengths:
