Description

The Aurochs Stoneback is a creature that lives within the herd communities of the Aurochs, not usually an aggressive creature unless feeling that the herd is in peril. these much larger Aurochs usually are almost a heavier set creature with its back being almost more stone than muscle and fur. these creatures if raised correctly by the goliath tribes within the mountains they usually become greater pack animals, and at times mount to some goliath warrior who chooses to brave and ride such a creature. their horns have been known to sell quite well in the case of weapon and blacksmiths for the density and greater weapons of which can be forged from such a sturdy beast. usually, these creatures are the ones who will have a greater heard of other Aurochs surrounding it as breeding partners, and will usually travel with the herd when an area runs out of vegetation along with certain stones of which the stoneback is more favorable to digest. along with being similar in many cases to earth elementals in the facts of both destruction, and near toughness, these creatures do however share the simple vulnerability of thunderous strikes and sounds, which may cause a further stamped, which almost sounds as similar as a rockslide.
