Overview |
Tauros live in large herds on plains. They enjoy being enraged and will sometimes whip themselves with their own tails to anger themselves before stampeding. They also whip themselves during battles to increase their fighting spirits. They headbutt each other and lock horns to test their own strength, taking pride in scars gained from this. If Tauros cannot find any sparring partners, they will ram into trees and knock them down out of boredom. The strongest Tauros of a herd is its leader and protector. Leaders must frequently defend their titles by butting head with challengers; as such, they usually will have the longest, thickest, and most-scarred horns of the herd. Tauros only charge in straight lines. Once they start running, they will not stop until they hit something. Tauros are also angered by the color red and will charge upon sight of anything of this hue, even the blood from their own wounds. Despite their aggressiveness, however, Tauros are herbivores that graze on grass and other plants. Domesticated Tauros are considerably calmer than their wild counterparts; they are still quick to anger, however. As Alolan Tauros are mostly descended from domesticated ancestors, they are considerably calmer than those of other regions and can even be ridden with some training.
