Description
The massive brothbairn are a large, long horned buffalo with long, dense hair to keep them warm in the cold northern hills, forests and tundra. There are two subspecies of brothbairn, a mountain variety and the larger tundra variety.
Tundra brothbairn are about eight feet at the shoulders with long shaggy fur and extremely dense undercoats that provides them protection from the elements and the predators. Their large black horns extend out from the side of their skull and bend in toward the front of the beast, each horn is easily six feet in length. They travel in enormous herds of female and young that that are protected by one or more males as travel the vast tundra looking for food. Males are very protective of their herds and will attack if their aggressive displays are not heeded. Females are not as aggressive, but will attack if they feel the young are threatened.
Mountain brothbairn are leaner than their tundra cousins, but taller at the shoulders (about ten feet tall) and their horns are not as long (about three feet in length as they curve in towards the face. They do not travel in the herds that their cousins do, males are typically solo or small groups of siblings. Females create small herds to protect the young. They roam throughout the hilly forests at the base of the Dwarfmounts, but can extend into upper Vandaron
On occasion, a rogue male may wander into a more civilized areas and mate with domestic cattle. Their offspring, cattlebairn, are highly prized for their size, hides and meat on remote farms.
