Basket Horns

These creatures, twice the size of large moose, live in the subpolar region and subsist primarily off of foliage in the Sandibari Forests under the snow and types of algae, bacteria, and other substrates that can be found in inland seas similar to the Ice Flats. They migrate south for the winter, and the Stenza follow them, hunting them strictly for food based on a cultural separation of "food" and "trophy" categories of prey.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Dietary Needs and Habits

Basket Horns are herbivorous (although this does not stop them from consuming the occasional bits of contaminated meat and developing a condition like chronic wasting disease, which ancient Stenza have interpreted as the actual walking dead). Mostly their diet consists of what can be found in the subalpine regions of the Sandibari Forests.

Biological Cycle

Basket Horns are frequently driven in more northerly directions by storm cycles in the south, forcing them into the paths of Stenza hunters (who value them as "the prey of preys" for their size and the utility of most of their parts, not just their meat, such that hunting them specifically is almost a supply run).
