Aurochs

Aurochs are cattle native to Wildemount that inhabit the Marrow Valley of the Dwendalian Empire, as well as the ashen wastes of Xhorhas.

Appearance
Aurochs resemble buffaloes, with thick, muscular bodies and large, outward-curving horns.

History
Despite having resided in the Marrow Valley, Veth Brenatto was not familiar with the aurochs when the party saw the creatures at night, and her human companions who grew up in other parts of the Dwendalian Empire hadn't heard of the buffalo-like creatures either. Bryce Feelid later identified them for the party as "valley aurochs".

Within Xhorhas, aurochs are often used as pack animals in by the folk of Asarius.

Abilities

 * Gore: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2d8 + 5 piercing damage.

Trivia

 * "Aurochs" is both the singular and the plural for this animal (similar to "sheep").
 * The aurochs is a real-life species of cattle that once inhabited Europe, and it is the ancestor of domesticated cattle. The aurochs was declared extinct when the last recorded aurochs died in Poland in 1627.
