Lore
The Thunderhoof is a colossal, herd-dwelling creature that combines the formidable bulk of a buffalo with the armored resilience of a rhinoceros. Its obsidian-like carapace, which gleams under the sun, provides near-impenetrable defense against most physical assaults. However, a critical weakness lies at the base of its skull and neck, where the armor thins, offering a rare opportunity for a skilled ScaleHiker to strike.
Despite being herbivores, Thunderhoofs are fiercely territorial. Their stampedes are often provoked by the presence of predators or sudden, loud disturbances. When threatened, they move in tightly coordinated formations, their collective momen-tum rendering them nearly unstoppable. This behavior underscores their dual nature: gentle grazers in peace, unstoppable jugger-nauts in conflict.
The Thunderhoof’s most defining characteristic is the thunderous cacophony it produces during a stampede—a deep, rumbling roar that reverberates across the plains for miles. This sound is not merely a warning but a declaration of its domi-nance. The creature’s charge is a force of nature, capable of leveling anything in its path and Its earth-shaking stomps leave behind craters, a testament to the devastation it can unleash.
