Ochokochi (animal)
The Ochokochi is a horned humanoid found in the depths of Amaghea. Whilst the massive spikes that protrude from its form deter many predators, the bones grow inward also, creating a very pained and furious creature. The Ochokochi spends its short lifespan killing and breeding until its horns tangle and paralyse it. The flesh between the horns is often devoured by the creature's children when it has died.
The Ochokochi are famed for their powerful horns and spiked flesh, able to kill most prey with a single charge. Whilst they might possibly be an intelligent creature, no observer has seen one not tormented by the pain of their ever-growing bones. My hope is that the Ochokochi will be immobilised by its rage, or that its horns will limit its agility.
The Ochokochi that my party have been tracking lurks in a mountain pass, slamming its overgrown horns into a sheet of stone angrily. Its hair is stained somewhat with blood, seemingly both from itself and its prey, and its eyes search around the canyon with a ferocious curiosity between its charges. It awaits something to kill before its horns take its agency from it.
I can only hope that I can kill it before it gets its wish.
