Stonehoof

Description

Stonehooves are hardy and reclusive folk that call the most extreme of terrains their home. Masters of mountain terrain and jungle ravines, they navigate treacherous paths with ease, their keen senses attuned to every nuance of their dangerous domain. Where others fear to tread, the Stonehoof dares to flourish. Known for their craftsmanship in stone and metal, they carve out vast bridges and forge mighty weapons, drawing strength from both the earth beneath their hooves and the winds that sweep through their unlikely homes. Despite their reputation for a stoic demeanor and preference for solitude, many Stonehooves are fiercely loyal to their kin and would fervently defend their sanctuaries from any who would dare encroach upon their domain.

Apperance

With the upper body resembling that of a sturdy human (except for the curved horns of course) and the lower body adorned with shaggy, goat-like fur, cloven hooves, and a short tail, Stonehooves possesses a rugged charm and indomitable resolve.
