27 Tribes of Prax, I think.......

My version of Glorantha contains 27 unique herd animals associated with Prax and/or the Wastes. Your Glorantha probably is different, but if not, we must blame Trickster.

I welcome any thoughts on the matter, but please, be gentle.

Many of these animals are extant, some only remembered, and others we no longer consider. Some are better, some lesser, and a few are quite different. Of course, this much interpretation, lazy memory, moderate modification, and wild speculation yields imperfect results, and this list is probably imperfect, and for that we must blame Trickster. They are offered below in no particular order. Subject to change as knowledge increases.

Extant - the "now", of most Gloranthan settings.

Rhino

Horse

Unicorn

Zebra

Antelope

Bolo Lizard

Ostritch

High Llama

Morocanth - they keep Herd-Men, and thus are unique

Impala

Sable

Bison

Donkey - herd beast of the Cannibal Cult it seems

Bird Lizard - probably same as Bolo Lizard, but different in my Glorantha

Lion - lions, and other Basmoli, are no longer herd beasts in my Glorantha

 

Animals remembered only in the “now”, but we have some information, be it true or otherwise. Subject to change as knowledge increases.

Camel - associated with a Trickster prank involving Genert if I recall correctly

Eight-Legs - big spiders and an Uz tribe I assume, and Humans perhaps……

Plains Elk - known to be true, we think.

Nose-Horn  - it seems the “real” name if forgotten. Or is it?

Long -Ears - see above

Long-Nose - see above

Horn-Nose - see above

Antler-Head - see above

Rib-Hide - see above

 

Some herd animals are no longer known, and even their names are gone. In my Glorantha, I declare the remaining Praxian herd animals that once existed, and that might be encountered in the Other Side. Subject to change as knowledge increases.

Cow - they are relatively common in Genertela I gather, and Uralda lives nearby.

Pig - see above, different goddess

Buffalo - of course little, but bigger, brother to Bison, and apparently not as stout
