Descended from the [[ | [[Splintering|Descended]] from the [[Elder God]]dess [[Tauro]], the '''taurians''' are probably the most naturally aggressive of all the mortal races. They have giant, well-muscled bodies with enormous bull heads. While they make superb fighters, most military leaders are loathe to rely on taurians in large numbers because of their volatile and tempestuous anger, which sometimes erupts for almost insignificant reasons. Added to that, when taurians are in a group of their own kind, the anger of one can set the rest off and a "stampede" of battle-frenzied taurians have been known to decimate their own allies. As a result, taurians are discouraged from forming groups in multi-racial civilizations and, therefore, tend to find employment as individual mercenaries. | ||
