Information

This monster, human from the neck down and bull from the neck up, inhabits the Cave of the Wind in South Window Principality. It is very muscular and powerful and strikes using a large, spiked mace. On top of its resistance to lightning and fire magic, it is also immune of sleep, poison and instant death techniques.

However, outside of its resistances, it is generally weak to magic and sometimes carries the interesting Gozz Rune.
