Skittish and likely to flee at the first whiff of danger, wild cattle keep to their herds. Males have a 75% chance to attack if the herd is surprised, with the goal of covering the escape of the rest of the herd. When flight occurs, the herd will stampede the party 25% of the time.

Stampedes will cause characters to be trampled by 2d4 animals, and take 1d4 damage per animal.
