Agreed to no second gore attack. And let's save alacrity for our lightning warthog conversion, right up there with the panda of ill omen.

Gah! I forgot to factor in its Toughness feat when i wrote it up. Its hit points should be 5d8+18 (40 hp).
Otherwise we're done.

Pelorovis (long-horned buffalo)
CLIMATE/TERRAIN: Savannah
FREQUENCY: Common
ORGANIZATION: Herd
DIET: Herbivore
NO. APPEARING: 4-40
ARMOR CLASS: 6/3
MOVEMENT: 15
HIT DICE: 6
THAC0: 15
NO. OF ATTACKS: 2
DAMAGE/ATTACKS: 1 - 10/1-10
SPECIAL ATTACKS: Charge
SIZE: M (6’ high at shoulder)
MORALE: Steady (12)
XP VALUE: 420
This was a close relative of the modern African buffalo and looked much like it. However, Pelorovis had huge horns, curving out to the sides and down to form a half circle. The total horn span could reach 12’.
Combat: Pelorovis fights with its massive horns. If it can charge at least 40’, it inflicts 5-20 hp damage, automatically knocking down any human-sized opponent, and tramples for an additional 2-5 hp damage.
Habitat/Society: Pelorovis lives in large herds like other African herbivores. It roams the open woodland scrub, not the jungle or bare plains. The females are smaller, equal to normal buffalo (see “Animal, Herd” in the Monstrous Compendium).
Only lions can bring down an adult. Females and young fall to hyenas, leopards, and crocodiles.

Start with the bison. Give it deadly charge instead of trample. Increase Str a bit and the damage from the gore attack.
Thought-what if we gave the horns reach like a polearm?
