Ox

An ox was a variety of cattle that was found on Toril.

Description
An ox was capable of carrying much more cargo than other creatures of the same approximate size.

A unique species of red ox was domesticated and commonly used in the Utter East, namely in the country of Doegan. As most horses died off of disease and the hot climate after the Utter East's colonization, the red ox proved to be a much more reliable beast of burden.

Relationships
Oxen were often used by sentient beings as beasts of burden.

In the Sword Coast, oxen were used to drive pumps at Baldur's Gate's docks and along the Trade Way, The Way Inn regularly purchased and sold oxen among other domestic beasts of burden.

Some associated them with the orc deity Bahgtru.

Usages
Oxen livers, along with vegetable oils and herbs, were used to create Tanlarl, an ointment used to attract females, and an orcish aphrodisiac.

Roasted oxen was commonly served in the Jovial Juggler.
