Buffalo

Buffalo were a species of uncommon herd animal that was sometimes domesticated by humans.

Description
Buffalo were large and stocky animals that were around 5 feet (1.5 m) tall. They had a humped back, a pair of small horns and a small tail. Buffalo were more intelligent than most other types of herd animals, and were the fiercest in combat.

Combat
These animals did not flee from combat as often as cattle, sheep and antelopes, and often tried to fight off their attackers. Buffalo utilized their horns if approached too closely, and could charge from a distance, piercing and stamping over their opponents.

Ecology
Some buffalo were suited to forest environments, particularly in the Forest Country, which was in the same area as modern day Cormyr. They were traded in cities, such as Keltar, which was known for its leather market.

Other than Faerûn, buffalos were known to dwell in Kara-Tur, especially the water buffalo that lived near the Fenghsintzu River, and in the savannahs of Chult.

Trivia
A buffalo could be summoned by the conjure animals spell.
