Musken

Musken are even toed ungulates that extend all over the grassy plains of the northern region and to the Neck of the southern region. Although docile in appearance, their size and volatile aggression makes them unpredictable dangerous animals. Males grow large curved horns on their head that can reach up to two feet long and grow thick furred hides. Tribesmen may hunt two or three year for their meat, but rarely interact with them because of how easily one can kill a person.

Full grown males can weigh over 4,500 lbs and females 4,000 lbs. They reach over 8 feet in height at the shoulders, making them very intimidating foe. Their toughness makes them extremely hardy and hard to kill. Still despite their size and appearance, in the north they are prized for their meat and it's rather easy to find tusken meat for sale in the Maschev Colonies where some people own small herds of these creatures just for their meat and hide.

They can live in large herds of over 40 strong and are targeted by direwolves, andal bear, sometimes dragons, humans, lions, sabercats and the like. One can very easily kill most of those animals when threatened or provoked. Their short temper is only increased during breeding seasons and when calves are around. Those tough thick furry pelts are very valuable and the horns even more. Many tribes honor these animals and have several deities devoted to them, the most common one being the albino tusken with six curved horns pointing upwards to symbolize its connecting to the stars. Killing an albino tusken is considered one of the higest offences among the tribes and could easily earn you the position of being at the end of a spear.
