Description

Giant mountain goats are found in the shifting valley in the Duchy of Peaks and on the slopes of mount Thrandul, their thick fur and layers of body fat protecting them from the extreme cold. They are expert climbers, able to leap and bound up sheer slopes.

Their thick, soft wool is extremely tough and sells for extremely high prices. It is extremely rare, and it is used in both fine tailoring of noble clothing and in the crafting of magical items. Giant goats can be white, sky blue or striped. Their bellies are often blue to hide them against the sky when viewed by predators below them.

Mountain goats are territorial but easily placated with offerings of food. Their stubbornness makes them difficult to domesticate. Giant mountain goats do not survive for long outside their mountain homes.
