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.

The TaiGore is a warhound native to Outworld. Larger than Earthrealm ones, naturally, and hairless. Their hides run dark red with black stripes across the mid-section, and they grow spikes along their upper backs, as well as a pair of horns for goring. They also have four eyes to better track prey. Ah, and their tails are tipped by blades.

[Outworld is such a fun place.]

They are fierce and loyal beasts, if properly trained, and fine hunters. Two or three working in tandem can tear apart most anything. It's like poetry to watch.

[Goro should really add a TaiGore or two to the throne room of his domain...he had one millennia ago when he was a young boy, a present from his father for how well his martial training was going. Miss you, Lord Razortooth, you were the best of all TaiGore.]

Those sound fantastic! Though perhaps a bit violent for a pet, but the Horizon knows no limits so that's alright. How big is bigger than a regular hound?

Big enough to ride?

[fourarmedandangerous]

No. Not big enough for a Shokan to ride, at least. We are giants compared to humans.

On an adult human of...average size, a TaiGore is slightly taller than their waist. Large, but not riding material. However, what they lack in size they more than make up with deadly cunning and fierce brutality. As I said, poetry.

Sounds like Ogier. They're bigger than us, practically giants.

I am an adult human of more than average height, but that's a good reference point.
