This doesn't mean that they don't have a temperament. Some are nicer than others. Naturally Carnitaurs will always follow their passions and beliefs.
Horns and Hooves
Carnitaurs are big and brawny. Their horns range in size from about 1 foot long to great, curling weapons easily three times that length. They ornament their horns with vines, flowers or sometimes with metal rings or sheathe them in metal to protect them from damage. The shape and color of these horn varies greatly between Carnitaurs. Over the years the material of these horns can change to for instance represent roots or even very rare and strong materials.
