Bosk

Bosk

A huge, shambling animal, with a thick, humped neck and long, shaggy hair. It has a wide head and tiny red eyes, a fearful temper, and two long, wicked, curved and pointed horns. The horns, from tip to tip may measure two spears in length. It is for good reason the bosk is called 'The Mother of the Wagon Peoples'. It's flesh and milk furnish food and drink, shelter is made from it's hides, and clothing from it's tanned and sewn skins. Weapons are made from the leather of it's hump and many tools and implements from it's bone and horns. Even the dung is dried and used for fuel. The bosk is reverenced and the penalties for it's slaughter without reason are extreme.
