Yak

Yaks were large herd animals used as livestock in northern regions of Faerûn such as the Spine of the World and the Hordelands and many elevated regions like the mighty Yehimal Mountains.

Ecology
Domesticated yaks were employed for a variety of uses, such as beasts of burden and sources of wool and milk. Yak butter, a soft cream cheese, was a characteristic product from yak-raising regions.

Habitats
Within the the Yehimal mountains, the people of Tabot were known to herd yaks.

History
Sometime after the War of the Silver Marches, a village of yakfolk near Ironslag kept large herds of yaks.
