Bonnacon (3.5e Monster)

Skills
Skills: A bonnacon gains a +4 racial bonus on Balance, Listen, Spot and Survival skill checks. A bonnacon also gains an additional +4 bonus on Balance checks for being a quadruped.

Strategies and Tactics
Bonnacons are survivors, not fighters. They flee from danger readily, resorting to ranged attacks to keep predators at bay. If cornered, they will put up a brutal, loud fight to survive. A bonnacon will grunt and moo loudly to warn nearby bonnacons of danger.

Ecology
Environment: Bonnacons prefer to roam temperate or warm grasslands and scrublands where they feed on tough plants. Occasionally, they find their way into rocky foothills and steppes.

Typical Physical Characteristics: Bonnacons are built much like oxen, with stout bodies. They sport a long mane down their necks. Their bodies are covered in a thick, reddish hide with a pebbled texture. Their tails are long and flexible, with a tuft of coarse hair at the end, typically used to swat away flies. Their hooves are cloven and black. A pair of curved, ram-like horns protrude from their heads. On mature bulls, these horns grow quite large. However, due to their placement, they are sadly useless for fighting.

Behavior
Bonnacons gather in small herds with a single bull and 1d4 cows.

These creatures are rarely domesticated as herd animals, due to their capacity to burn down enclosures and set grasslands ablaze when flustered.
