Behemoth

Only male behemoth are battlers. The females do not appear on the fields.

Bio
Behemoth are large, bovine creatures known for their brute strength. Though not very intelligent as a whole, they survive by living in large herds in which the males constantly circle and survey their territory. They are extremely aggressive, and when put in danger, the females will gather all of their young in a circle to protect them, using their bodies as shields while the males fight off the predator. Males have four horns (a pair of massive horns, and a smaller set), while females only have one smaller set. They are exceptionally aggressive in breeding season where male behemoths test their strength against other young males or wander further from the herd looking for fights.

Behemoths have specialized stomachs that allow them to eat tough, bristly, and poor quality plants that other grazing creatures would not consume. This stomach is made up of six chambers and is known as one of the toughest stomachs known to man.

Ancient peoples domesticated these creatures as draft animals to pull their carts and carry their cargo. In early times, the behemoth was the way of life for traveling nomads, who used their hides, meat, milk, manes, and strength to sustain them.

Significance in the World

 * While behemoth milk has gone out of fashion because of its poor taste and its heaviness on the stomach, some small, country towns still maintain the practice of selling behemoth milk.
 * Domestic behemoth are very common and are much more mellow than wild behemoth. Some even suggest that domestic behemoth are less intelligent, having lost all their natural instincts.
 * There is a statue of a famous female behemoth located in the city of Murphy. According to the legend, a poor merchant found and rescued the female behemoth calf, and it became very loyal to him. One day, while traveling on a path in open fields, a rogue male behemoth attacked them, having been cast out from its herd. The merchant was badly wounded, but the female behemoth gave its life to protect him. It was said that the man's name was Murphy--the founder of what is now the largest merchant city in the kingdom.
