Fighter: Primal Warmaster

You take both martial combat and your connection to the many dangerous animals that dwell within the wild, very seriously. You study the physical abilities of predatory beasts in order to inspire your combat prowess, and you have mastered ways to control, tame, fight and even emulate these creatures. Through your study and close kinship with them, your unique mastery of martial combat is infused with aspects of dangerous, untamed animals.

Beast Tamer

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, 1/short rest you gain the ability to Speak with Animals, as if the spell has been cast upon yourself.

You also gain the Whipmaster skills.

Whipmaster
Starting at 3rd level

You add (+2) to damage roles as well as to any skill checks made with a whip. You are also able to wield a larger than normal whip, called a Greatwhip. Greatwhips deal (1d6) slashing damage, they do not have the finesse property, and use your Strength to wield.

Whip-inspired Versatility: 

Using the whip in combat improves your overall fighting versatility. When you wield a whip in one hand and a one-handed weapon in the other, you gain the Two Weapon Fighting style even if the one-handed weapon you’re wielding is not light.

Grasping Lash: 

As long as the target of this feature is within range of your whip, you can attempt a Grasping Lash to try and attach the whip to an inert object that is small enough for the end of the whip to wrap around. For example, a wooden beam, a chandelier. Make a DC 14 Athletics check. On a success, the end of the whip securely attaches to the object. As part of that same action you can.
