    An aurochs is wild cattle without the generations of tolerance that make livestock manageable. It stands high at the shoulder, carries long forward horns and treats confinement as an attack. Herds withdraw from distant travelers, but a bull cut off from open ground wheels toward the obstruction and tries to throw it clear.

    Special Attack

    Horn Toss: piercing, melee 5 ft, +4 to hit, 2d6+3. A Large or smaller target makes a Tough save; on a failed save, it is thrown 10 ft and takes an additional 1d6 damage when it lands.

    Special Defense

    Cannot Turn Quickly: after using Horn Toss, the aurochs suffers -2 AC against attacks from behind until the start of its next turn. An open lane away from the herd prevents further attacks unless the animal has already been wounded.
