Aurochs are slightly larger and tougher
versions of the wild
cattle found in the
MM. Aurochs in the real
world have only recently become extinct
(in the 17th century in Europe), once
living
in temperate forests and meadows.
Aurochs may be domesticated by farmers
in some campaigns. Some bulls measured
7' high at the shoulder, and aurochs in
general were much more fierce and agile
than normal cattle. For game purposes,
treat auroch cows as buffalo and young
adults as normal cattle. The statistics
given
are for auroch males.
