Their fur varies from region to region but normally it is: White fur in cold regions. Brown and green fur in the forest or plains regions (so more humid). Yellow fur in the desert. Black fur underground. Red and Orange fur when birthed around intense heat (Underground/volcano/just overheated area.)
LORE
Cue-Boi's are called so due to the cue-ball shaped horns that grow on their heads. The balls on the horns also have magical properties that attract them to others of their species. More specifically the balls on the horn. This unfortunately makes them highly sought after by thieves and gamblers alike. Removing the ball on the horn however instantly kills the Cue-Boi so they naturally defend themselves with ferocious might. Depending on their fur color not only due to their fur color change but so does the horn taking on a lighter shade of whatever the base color is unless the base color is black or white. On Black Cue-Boi's the horn is white and on White Cue-Boi's the horn is Black. The horn color also has significance on what type of elemental damage they deal.
(White/Necrotic, Black/Holy, Yellow/N/A, Red and Orange/Fire, Brown and Green/Poison)
Due to the value of their horns they are also very rare (read nearly extinct) and it is illegal to openly hunt these creatures in many areas.
It is also said that Cue-Boi's that live in communities that have never had a bad experience with "People" are generally passive towards them. This has not been proven however and many remain skeptical.
