Abada
An Abada is a rare and holy beast that wanders the desert lands of south-eastern Bharazad. They appear as a kudu with two coiled horns rising over their head. Unlike a kudu, however, an Abada bears an ethereal arcane glyph which hovers between the beast's horns.
Abadas are similar to the humans' unicorns; the horns of either beast are said to be a cure-all for poisons, diseases or curses and both beasts are at least partly divine in origin.
Abadas appear only to those who have shown respect to Artoš or her children, and offer guidance to lost travelers or healing to the wounded. These divine beasts are revered by the orcs of Bharazad and are occasionally found among their encampments; to most the abadas would seem as pets, but they are family to the orcish and buried as such upon their deaths.
Those who hunt the abada are sure to be forever hated by orcs and druids. Nevertheless, the horns are potent reagents in healing magic and elixirs, and the hide of an abada is said to repel the blade of good and holy creatures.
