Monster Trove: Old Fears and Hungry Things
Water Buffalo
Large
About
A water buffalo spends the hottest hours in mud, reed beds and shallow water, where only horns and watchful eyes may be visible. A threatened herd does not scatter cleanly. Adults turn outward around the young, and an isolated bull drives through water or brush to hook an intruder and carry it away from the group.

Special Attack
Hooking Charge: piercing, melee 5 ft, +3 to hit, 2d6+3. The target makes a Quick save; on a failed save, it is carried 10 ft with the buffalo and dropped on the side chosen by the animal.
Special Defense
Mud-Hardened Hide: after wallowing, the buffalo has DR 3 until it spends a full round in heavy rain, deep water or takes fire damage. Moving away from the herd and leaving a clear path to water ends its pursuit.
