Fantasy Art: A beast standing slightly shorter than a horse, its muscular frame is covered in thick, dense fur, ranging from dark brown to grey, that shields it from the coldest winds and biting snow. Its fur is often matted with ice, giving it a rugged, weathered appearance. Its head resembles that of a bison, broad and powerful, with short, curved horns protruding from its skull, used both in defense and to break through thick snowdrifts. The beast’s eyes are sharp, intelligent, and glint with an awareness of the harsh world around it, making it a trusted mount and work companion. Its legs are sturdy, ending in wide, thick hooves that provide excellent traction on icy terrain. The beast’s powerful back makes it ideal for carrying heavy loads, whether it's supplies for a long journey or pulling large carts through treacherous paths. Despite its size, it can be surprisingly fast over short distances, making it useful in skirmishes or for evading danger. These beasts are revered by the tribes, not only for their utility but for their resilience, mirroring the hardiness of the northern people who rely on them.
