This beast is found on prairies and arid plains, and though it is herbivorous, it has a temperament like a wereboar. Some tribes living near a lair of these creatures regard them as holy and do not hunt them. Werebisons are powerful, and butt with their horns and bony skull. They appear as hairy, stocky beings with a bison-like head, being otherwise humanoid. They do not collect treasure at all, and are usually found near a herd of buffalo (60%), acting as protectors of the herd.

Doesn't seem to be anything more than a standard bison lycanthrope. Agreed?

Yes, should be simple enough.

Human for the base creature, or shall we use something a bit more interesting?

EDIT: I'll start up a Working Draft as soon as we agree on the base creature.

How about a bugbear? For some reason, I fancy a "bugbison". :lol:
