Gaur (animal)

Gaurs are the largest bovine animals on Aeras. Their sturdy builds can often weigh close to a ton, and their distinctive curved horns are far from being simply a threat display, often growing to the size of a small child. The gaur has little in natural predators outside the mighty tiger and ferocious crocodile. They are often found in herds of a dozen or less, with a single male.

We've tracked the mighty gaur to a fertile floodplain. The solitary cow before us has traveled a little too far from its herd, though it does not seem afraid in the slightest. Its monumental weight seems to sink into the mud beneath it, meaning it won't have much maneuverability, but neither will we. We need to take this beast down before its herd can come to its aid, otherwise we will have little chance for survival, even if we slay it.
