Sabodtonner (Sabotonner)

Sabodtonners, or Thunder Hooves, are large domesticated one-toe hoofed mammals, native to the Osvir Planes. They are bovine like in appearance but are significantly more intelligent and delicate than their relatives, making them a common riding animal in the Kingdom of Saltis, with the entirety of the Saltisian Armed Forces cavalry riding them, while their horses are only utilized as draft animals.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Sabodtonners are similar in appearance to bovines such as cattle and wild cows, though they are thin and muscular, with mane-like coats of long hair. Adults grow up to 2 meters in height at the shoulder and 3.1 meters in length, and can weigh from around 480 to 1,020 kilograms. Unlike all other bovines, however, they possess non-cloven hooves, an attribute that supposedly increase the sound of sabodtonner hooves.

Genetics and Reproduction

Sabodtonners seem to be an offshoot of common cattle, and can breed with them, giving birth to Skows. However, similarly to mules, skows are infertile.
