The nocturnal tamookas are airborne bovines that haunt the skies over prairies and badlands, and they only touch ground when sleeping.  Their fur glows a phantasmal bluish-gray, and their eyes burn with ruby malice.

The beasts can fly as fast—or faster!—as ground vehicles, but they won't pursue into tunnels or confined spaces.  Tamookas make frequent Dive attacks, and when carrying away victims, turn themselves and their quarry invisible to escape unimpeded.

Tamookas sinisterly "poach" livestock away from villages, using their Empathy mutations (which only work on creatures of animal-intelligence) to lure the beasts away.

Moodicine men are tribal bovinoids with shaggy manes, ivory horns, saucer-sized eyes, and savage fangs  They frequently ally with a region's tamookas (even going so far as to ride them into battle), and feed upon the enthralled livestock procured by the flying bulls.  They also devour vanquished enemies!

Moodicine men reside in elaborate cave dwellings, and share their living spaces with eagles, owls, and other avians (mutated or otherwise).
