|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''Disarm:'''
| Cut the rope/vine/cable if ensnared.  If the snare is not active, trigger it with a stick or loosen it manually (1 round).
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''Reset:'''
| Yes.  Unless the snare's rope/cable was cut, it may be reused.  Must be built from scratch using roll time above.
|}

|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''Materials:'''
| Rope/vine/cable/heavy cord, some form of post/stake/anchor, a locking mechanism or knot
|-

| 2 minutes per roll
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''Trigger:'''
| Stepping into snare and moving loop.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''Effect:'''
| The loop, when triggered, tightens around the animal's neck/limb.  Damage will depend upon where the animal is caught.  
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''Disarm:'''
| Cut or release the loop, depending upon how it was created.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''Reset:'''
