That’s right. We have a cave troll.

FASA 365 Day 273, Aranea Monte, (Spider Mount) 15-20ft. AND Larger.
For 1879
This is one of the smaller mounts.
Favored by the Saurid tribes.

FASA 365 Day 272, Cornu Raptor Caprinum, (Longhorn Raptor Goat) 15 ft at the shoulder. Upwards of 7-10 ft horns tip to tip Herbivore.
For 1879
Horns are defensive
Thick skull for head butting
Fast, 35-40 mph; and agile.
Tameable, although all attempts to ride the beast have proven hazardous to bone and body.
That doesn’t mean the Americans “cowboys” have stopped trying.
FASA 365 Day 271, Spica Desertum Truncata Gallus, (Spiked Desert Truncated Galloper) 12-20 Ft high Herbivore.
Eats Cactus.
Rips up the plant, root and all. Leaving little wells of water in the sand… but not for very long as it sucks that up to wash down the cactus.
The small, multi faceted mouth is FULL of shape teeth the grind down the cactus and the needles and mineral deposits.
It gallops at speeds of 60 kph however nobody has figured out a way to ride the thing due to the spikes down its back.
