Miltank (5e Race)

Miltank

Physical Description

A herd of miltank on a farm. Source

Miltank are bipedal bovines whose body is mostly pink, with a yellow belly and black, angular markings along their back. A black hood-like marking surrounds its face with a pink, triangular mark on its forehead. There are two small horns on top of its head. It has large, blue eyes, a black nose, and a wide mouth, as well as long, black, floppy ears with yellow insides. Miltank has a yellow udder with four pink teats. All four of its limbs end in black, cloven hooves, and its long tail is tipped with a black sphere.

Some Miltank are known to have light blue skin instead of pink and orange/brownish markings instead of black.

History

Miltanks were thought to have been first discovered in the grasslands of the Johto region. Oddly enough, Miltank are a female-exclusive race but their male counterparts, known as Tauros, were first discovered in the Kanto region, the region neighboring Johto. They can be found in all kinds of regions from the colder Sinnoh region or the tropical Alola region. These bovines are special in that, unlike ordinary cattle, will always produce milk throughout their lives, up to 5 gallons a day.

These bovines are quite hardy and can hold their own in a fight quite well. They especially love using an attack known as "Rollout", which is performed when they curl up and launch themselves at their foes. Stories tell of a young girl whose Miltank was so strong that its rollout was able to crush nearly any opponent it faced.

Society

Miltank form herds of varying number with each other and Tauros, their male counterpart. While some prefer to live in the wild, most enjoy living in human society and often prefer it, as they love being around people. Because they always produce milk, they more often than not find work on farms. Interestingly enough, this milk will become much richer and even more nutritious if the Miltank is around children, therefore some will find work in nurseries, daycares, and even hospitals.

Miltank Names

Miltank, which are a female exclusive race, have female names which are usually Common.
