A Great Taurus

The Great Taurus are flying creatures of pure rage, manifesting itself in the form of a red, winged bull wreathed in flames and smoke. [1][3a]

Bale Taurus

The mightest of their kind are known as Bale Taurus and are immortal, being unable to die unless by violence. [3a]

Lammasu

The powerful and strangely charasmatic Lammasu is thought to be a rare mutation of the Great Taurus. [4a]

Habitat

They reign supreme in the ashen wastes of the Dark Lands where they must battle Dragons, Goblins, Ogres Orcs, Trolls and Wyverns. Unless the Winds of Magic are blowing unsually strongly they seldom stray far from this region as is suffused by the Wind of Aqshy. [4a]

History

Chaos Dwarfs legends say that they were once people of their race mutated in living bull-furnaces to serve the god Hashut and call them the Red Bulls of Hashut. They stable them beneath the great temple to the god in Zharr-Naggrund and powerful Chaos Dwarfs are hence able to ride them into battle. [2a]

Powers

The fire they breathe is hot enough to melt iron, and enemy weapons instantly soften and blunt as their wielders are about to deliver the blow. When its rage reaches its peak, the flames burst out of its throat and eyes, which usually resolves with the creature smashing its way into a large regiment.[1] Its hide is bright red, flickering with sparks and is thick enough to resist heavy blows. [2a]

Weapons and Equipment

  • 8th Edition: Blazing Body, Fuelled by Fire. May have Bloodrage and Flaming Breath. [4a]

Quotes

It descended from the dark skies like a firebolt. Hotter than a forge were its fires, and many of our kin were slain. On this beast we have sworn revenge.

~ Ungrim Ironfist's Book of Grudges.[4a]
