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.
