description
A weird and deadly offshoot of the moorbounder has rows of long, bladelike bristles covering its sleek body. The creature uses these blades to slash nearby creatures to ribbons. However, these blades make the bristled moorbounder less suitable as a mount.
Moorbounders: Predators that stalk the marshlands and muddy foothills of Xhorhas, moorbounders are regarded as dangerous killers by those who try to avoid them on their travels- and as prized mounts by those willing to capture and train them. Though the process of domesticating a moorbounder is fraught with peril, these creatures can become favored hunting companions and powerful war mounts. Moorbounders hunt with elongated tusks and retractable claws. With a vague resemblance to large hunting cats, their muscular bodies are built for combat, granting them incredible prowess at leaping and a running speed that makes them dominant carnivores.
