Description

In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, they are one of the primary livestock of humans of Faerûn's Northern areas and of the drow of the Underdark below. They resemble musk oxen, and have three different sub-species—surface rothé, deep rothé (that communicate with magical flashing lights in their Underdark home), and ghost rothé (large white rothé with magical abilities that grant them transportation and silence).
