Tahr (animal)

Tahrs are large ungulates related to sheep and goats that can be commonly found throughout the Kharadan Mountains and the Hyratan. They have curved horns and shaggy, reddish coats that have helped them survive in their harsh, inhospitable environment. They are only found at high elevations outside of the winter months.

We have climbed high into the jagged peaks, a harsh wind hangs overhead that batters our bodies with every step. Just above us on a craggy outcropping, the tahr rests while chewing on a tuff of grass that grew this high up. The beast has not noticed us yet, but once it does, we will barely have time to act before it escapes deeper into the mountains, beyond where we can safely follow. Me and my companion prepare our net and noose, hoping to catch the beast within before it runs and drag it towards us. I just hope we do not drag ourselves off the mountainside.
