Duhorn

Duhorn are a type of taurid with thick leathery skin and keratin horns that live in equatorial regions.They are usually sweet and docile towards their human partners but can be easily spooked, and are sometimes aggressive, (often during mating) especially around strangers. Proceed with caution due to their immense strength. They traditionally don’t live near human settlements due to their tendency to become spooked and instead live by themselves in swamps and grasslands, sometimes coming together to breed. Duhorns are fiercely protective of their children and sometimes the children of other species and will protect them to near death.

Their horns have magical properties that can cure sickness and mental insanity, prompting humans to enslave and farm them or to outright slaughter them for this magic. This has also led to duhorns becoming increasingly rare and aloof around humans.

Two horned variety

This variety lives around the vast territories of Philandra and the Southern Dryads. They have two horns protruding from their heads, as their name suggests as well as characteristically large lips.
