# Bariaur

> ![[Placeholder2.png]]
*The creature looks a bit like a centaur, but it mixes the forms of human and ram rather than a human and horse. From the waist down, it is indistinguishable from a powerful ram. From the waist up, it looks human, except for two curling horns emerging from the top of its forehead.*

**Advancement** By character class
Bariaurs travel the rolling hills and woods of Ysgard, protecting all who call that plain their home. When evil is afoot, they track it to its source, then charge into glorious battle.
Creatures of wanderlust, bariaurs rarely remain in one place for long. Their flocks follow a single leader who remains in charge as long as he or she can defeat opponents in a “clash of horns” (a sequence of charge attacks similar to a jousting competition). Bariaurs love contests, which tend to be sources of good-natured amusement rather than rigorous tests of fitness. Bariaurs revere Ehlonna, deity of the woodlands, and are strict herbivores. Only bariaur rangers tend to eat meat, generally from woodland creatures they’ve hunted themselves.
Bariaurs stand 6 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh 800 pounds.
