Dakk

The Dakk is a common bovine herd animal found exclusively on Errador. They are raised as livestock for meat, as dairy animals, and as draft animals.

Biology
A Dakk is a heavily built animal, with a bulky frame, sturdy legs and rounded cloven hooves. They have short, dense fur which varies from black to brown. They have small smooth horns that are generally dark in colour. For males, the horns sweep out from the sides of the head, and then curve forward. For females, they are smaller and have a more upright shape. In females, the udder is small and hairy, with four teats.

Behaviour
The Dakk is a herd animal. They are highly friendly and can easily be trained. However, mothers can be extremely protective towards their young and will bluff charge if they feel threatened. Wild Dakk usually form herds of several hundreds, but can contain many less. These are made up of females and their young, and a few males.

Relationship with sentients
The Dakk have been raised as cattle for the Halflings and Khajits for thousands of years, primarily by the Khajits and for their milk, fibre and meat. Dakks also transport goods from city to city in Errador for farmers and traders and can easily cross mountain passes. Their hide and fur can be used to make leather and woollen clothing, accessories and equipment.
