Musk Ox

The musk oxen are covered in thick brown hair and are armed with a heavy pair of sharp, curving horns.   Like most fauna, the musk ox of the northern lands are large and fierce variety. It stands about 5-1/2 feet high at the shoulder, and weighs more than 1,200 pounds.   Musk oxen tend to be shy creatures, but the musk ox is noted for its foul temper and sheer fighting instinct. Once a foe catches its attention, the musk ox does its level best to batter it to death with repeated charges and then stamp what’s left into bloody mire in the snow. They are especially aggressive when calves are present.
