Abilities: More can be said about a Soul-Beast's appearances than their ability. Soul-Beasts are something between a horse, an ox, and a camel, just made out of a grotesquely twisted damned human soul, which can be clearly seen from its limbs and face. They appear as a large, undead man walking on all fours would, except their chins have sprouted horns, and their hind legs are less human in structure, and moreso like that of a large cat, though it is wrapped in the same flesh and ends with a humanoid foot. Their coloration is highly random, but consist of what some would consider "pale, Death-like, or dark" shades.
Soul-Beasts can keep up a speed of 50-60 mile per hour and can accelerate to that point in mere moments. Furthermore their strength is great enough to make them among the best beasts of burden in Inferis. Despite this, their only real means of defense is to charge with their chin-horn and perhaps bite, but their near mindless nature makes them absolutely ineffective in combat unless specially trained. However, due to the randomness of their appearance, their strength, speed, and mindless nature, it is ill-advised to be in the way of a Soul Beast stampede.
They survive in herds, very similarly to the Ox of Earth, are ceaseless in their migrations. A Soul-Beasts migration patterns are far more random than a beast on Earth's would be. This fact seems to make their movements, or sometimes lack thereof, have no rhyme or reason to them, especially because of their lack of need for sleep or food.
Soul-Beasts can be easily tamed by any demon with any willpower, or beings with OCCULT-like powers.
Miscellaneous Notes: Lucifuge's Manse has a large number of these congregating nearby and will often huddle next to his walls to keep out of the worst of the winds.
