Casuari are the noble Steedbirds of the Eastern Badlands. They are tough and independent birds, able to survive in the harsh environment, and most can bear the weight of a humanoid on their backs, given adequate saddles.
Casuari come in many different breeds and sizes and colours, and many dedicated breeders are given to cross-breeding them to create crossovers. They are ridden as steeds, used as farm animals, and employed to pull carriages, in all the ways that a horse would be. Statistics: Just use a Horse's stats, from a Pony all the way up to a Heavy Warhorse. For Horses that have an ability to attack, keep their bite attacks, and swap hoof attacks for claws. Otherwise they're pretty good as-is. How you can use Casuari in your game: - If you want to go crazy-Final-Fantasy all the way, you could work out a complex system of breeding different colours for different benefits, like "+2 Strength" or "+10ft. movement speed", but your players will probably work that all out for you. Just nod and agree. - Casuari make for fun steeds which can make a campaign seem a little different from a standard medieval fantasy. - Perhaps only the barbarian tribes of the Eastern Badlands use Casuari, allowing them better mobility and dangerous steeds in the dangerous lands in which they live. These make Casuari an exotic and fierce creature. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 14 May 2019. Comments are closed.
