Gours

The gour is a large bovine with very picky eating habits. Originally from Vertan, a number of them were brought over during the Vertani War. A few can now be found in Tir Murann under the care of Dynas, although they often break out and need to be lured back.

Gours display a certain degree of sexual dimorphism. Females tend to be covered in a coat of short, dark grey fur that leaves the leathery, pale grey skin of their bellies bare. Males, on the other hand, are covered in long, shaggy black fur; their skin, as displayed on their bare undersides, is a lighter off-white colour. Both males and females are possessed of long, thick legs terminating in slick black hooves, and each mature gour sprouts a single deadly horn from its forehead. Adult gours average in at a weight of 3750 pounds, regardless of gender.
