Rothé

Rothé were herd animals and one of the primary livestock of humans in Faerûn's northern areas and of the drow of the Underdark below.

Description
These magical beasts resembled musk-oxen.

Ecology
The Axe of Mirabar, the militia of the city of Mirabar, rode rothé in the winter.

Rothé back steaks were a staple of dwarven cuisine in the areas where the beasts were present.
