To All

[a_better_man]

I have a query for the masses, if you'll take a moment or two and indulge me.

Tell me about animals from your world. Or your favorite of the animals from your world. Or the most interesting. I'm curious. Friends in the Horizon have shown me critters I've never even heard of before, and even been kind enough to create one or two for my domain. And I want more. I want a vast menagerie of amazing creatures.

I've got plenty of animals I know well - foxes, badgers, rabbits, sheep - and some I don't think exist outside of this world that I've seen in Thorne. But so many of all you fine and lovely people come from amazing and vastly different worlds and I would be honored by a contribution to my little project.

Of which there is to be more than just a showcase of odd animals, and I will share with all when it's finished. But for right now...

It's all about the animals.

A bull what? That's usually a term for a male in several different species I know of, happabores included, in fact. They're quite large, um. Bigger than any of the horses I've seen here in Thorne.

Just a bull. A male cow.

Cows are bigger than horses, too. Least the ones back home are. Great broad beasts that can haul stone and lumber and ploughs.

Cow is...

Nevermind.

Happabores are used in much the same way, though I think more commonly people use banthas on other planets.

[a_better_man]

What's a bantha?

[provenforce]

They're sort of like... they're much hairier than happabores, but similar size, 2 meters or so? They have these beautiful massive spiral horns, and their milk and meat is very popular too. I've never had either but I've heard it's good.

[a_better_man]

Now those sound a lot like cows! But prettier.

They're ugly in the face, really. mouths almost as wide as their bodies with broad faces.
