Bonca

 is a wildlife of the Wildlife.

Background
The Bovinoceridea primigenius, or as it is more commonly called the Bonca, tend to gather in large herds throughout most of the Wild Untamed terrain of Yavaun. They are socially oriented animals with strong family ties. The 'social" behaviour of these animals is so strong, that they go so far as to bury their dead under piles of twigs and leaves, a practice which has no doubt given rise to the ridiculous fables and rumours of a immense Bonca Burial Ground. Many have sought this mythical place, hoping to reap a vast fortune from the rich mineral deposits contained within the carcasses of the dead Bonca. Though for the most part docile creatures, maintaining a discreet distance from strangers while they go about their normal feeding routine of devouring great quantities of rocks and minerals, the six legged Bonca does not hesitate to attack those that threaten, or appear to threaten their young. These creatures are extremely hard to kill, as their tough hide provides adequate armour against most conventional weapons and tools. They rise to a height of about ten feet at the shoulder and weigh up to 6 or 7 tons. They can live up to 75 years or more.

These great beasts are prevalent across the surface of Yavaun, grazing in herds and eating broad sections of bushes and trees. Boncas are revered by the Shama'Li, whose Cavalier units are specially trained to subdue wild Bonca as mounts. While the Bonca are normally quite docile, their bulk and surprising speed can make them formidable in battle. The Shama'Li do not take their use of Bonca mounts lightly. Any Shama'Li capable of walking rushes to defend a Bonca herd under attack. In this manner, skirmishes often break out between devoted Shama'Li and sadistic Tha'Roon troops who often hunt the great beasts for pleasure.
