Thundrom

Thundrom are large hairy beasts from the Swordspyne Mountains. They are used as mounts by the people of the mountains, but to most of those in the plains, the thundrom is an exotic and strange creature

Thundroms are a little larger and bulkier than a horse and are covered in shaggy brown hair. Their bodies resemble that of a yak in shape, but they have long tusks and even longer curled ram-like horns. Its head looks large for its body, its four nostrils the only exposed skin on this otherwise long-haired beast.
