Snow Beast (animal)

The snow beast is an animal used to heard caribou by the Snow Beast tribe. They are as big as horses and often used for hunts and as warmounts. It is considered a great challange to hunt down a mother with new born and claim the new born as a companion. Due to their predetor instincts, to tame one, it must be raised from a young age. They have heavy long fur to keep them warm, bear-like paws with long claws, and a pair of large horns on their head. To people not native to the region they look like a cross of an musk-ox and a bear.
