These dangerous herd animals of tropical && subtropical plains will usually attack if approached too closely (6"or less).
When attacking, the whole herd is likely to charge.
A charging buffalo does 3-18 HP of damage impacting && 1-4 points trampling.
A charge must cover at least 40'.
Some species of buffalo (50% chance) are non-aggressive and will FLEE if threatened.

<note: bison = N. American buffalo. see D137.12>
