The bale taurus, or great taurus, is a big and terrifying monster with the body of a massive red bull and membranous wings like a dragon. The creature burns with terrific intensity, so that its whole body is wreathed in fire and smoke. Indeed, so angrily and so hot does the bale taurus' skin burn, that swords and axes become molten and blunt in the very process of striking it. When it moves across the ground sparks fly from its hooves and lightning plays about its feet. It breathes fire in great snorting bursts and black smoke curls from its gaping maw. These bovine monsters are often stabled in great pens by the duergar. Only the most powerful duergar manage to tame them and ride them into battle.
