Bison

Bison were large herd animals.

Description
Bison were a favoured animal of the Mulhorandi goddess Hathor.

Behavior
Bison were normally docile and peaceful creatures, avoiding conflict with a predator if possible. However, they were extremely protective of their offspring and fiercely defended them. They also became aggressive during mating season.

Combat
Bison herds, when frightened, stampeded. Due to their sheer size and numbers, a stampeding bison herd crushed almost any creature in their path.

Hippogriffs were a natural predator of bison.

Uses
The skull of a bison were used by shamans to make totems. Bison heads could be stuffed and mounted as a decorative wall feature.
