Description

Wild animals can serve not just for food! In old times orcs that lived in forests considered that decent warriors were worth of only battles on bulls' backs. Descendants of those old families preserved the tradition and now form the basis of the bull cavalry. Bulls have always been the main weapon of these riders. Mighty animals are not afraid of hot battles, and can penetrate the most durable amour with one strike of their horns.
