Gnarlhorn ready to punch the enemy with its massive fists
Gnarlhorn Satyrs are a powerful breed of satyrs used by the blackclads of the Circle Orboros as warbeasts. In combat they send enemies flying like rag dolls, and such crushing encounters also take place between males vying for mates and territory. The mountains they call home are littered with the broken bodies of those who agitated these towering beasts.[1]
Blackclads have gone to great lengths to hide these creatures from civilization. While wilderness tribes hold satyrs in high regard, city-dwellers believe satyrs to be the embodiment of the Devourer Wurm and hunt them at every opportunity. The Circle Orboros has worked to preserve them, using mystical techniques to hide their tracks and obscure their remote dens.[1]
Satyrs do not abide the mistreatment of those with whom they have bonded, a tendency most noted in the Gnarlhorn breed making them perfect personal guardians for the druids of the Circle. Threatening a druid protected by a satyr provokes immediate reprisal, first the thunderous sound of hoofbeats, followed by the creature lowering its head to strike with enough force to turn bones to jelly.[1][2]
