Introduction
The Dire Ox stands roughly 5 to 6 feet tall at the shoulder, is grayish in coloration, and the bulls have long sweeping horns which can attain a growth of 5 feet and longer.

Occasionally, they are domesticated to be used in menially labor intensive tasks, such as farming and used as beasts of burden.
