Kingshorn

In the age of the Kibic, the Kingshorn ruled the Saromis. Chieftains proved their worth by slaying a Kingshorn buck and taking its spiralling, four-foot horns as a trophy to mark the entrance to their tents. In the Third Age, they are quite rare, protected by the lords of Pezarsan. Only fezir may hunt them. The kingshorn is a black-eyed and black-faced animal. Its massive forequarters bespeak great power; it can gut a horse with its horns or crush a man's skull with a kick if troubled in its domain of wood-knot and brush-tangle.
