Knuckle Beast Horn Chart

Knuckle beasts have highly variable horn growth and most individuals possess at least two, though polycerate (multiple horned) are not uncommon. Most Knuckle beast horns greatly resemble those found on antelope and deer species and are used for defense, fighting and display. Sallows (female KBs) tend to have larger and more elaborate horns than dirks (males) but dominant males in a bachelor herd may possess ornate horns as well. Horns are very strong and not shed and consist of a hard, bony core that is covered with a sheath of keratin. Horns may be broken in battle, in which case, they will never grow back. Nose horns are rarely seen but not unheard of and are more common in Plains KBs than in any other subspecies. On very rare occasions, a KB may have two nose horns. Most KBs with nose horns also possess normal horns. Horns come in a variety of NATURAL colors, ranging from sandy brown to black. Horns can sometimes be dual toned. (Please ask about nose horns and rare/super rare before adding one to a design.) Knuckle beasts that are trained as steeds may have covering or jewelry on their horns but they do not decorate their horns themselves, nor any other part of their bodies. Obviously there are heaps more types of horns, but these illustrations demonstrate the basic shape and size. Some KBs have multiple smaller horns too.
