    Gorehorn has various organs and meat on his horns from the people he's gored.
    The Animals in that particular area of Drustvar are cused by the witches and Drust and such, you learn pretty early that the animals, all of them, herbivores and carnivores, just went completely feral and started killing and eating the locals. So Gorehorn is taking 'gore' quite literally.

    Honestly, Drustvar's got a pretty damn dark story to it, but it was probably the only place in BFA that I was able to consider an actual threat compared to the Legion invasion in the expansion before.
    So its kind of a shame the whole Drust aspect went nowhere boringly!

  2. @wowcrendor Easy way to tell reindeer/caribou apart from other deer species: their noses aren't shiny. The fur covers their entire snout, as opposed to white-tail deer or red deer, that have the black leathery noses. Rudolph and every 'reindeer' in his movies was designed by someone who took regular deer from an animal park as a reference, they never used actual reindeer as an example. Moose are pretty easy to differentiate, too, with that big coconut snout of theirs. There's also some difference in the dew claws, but that's harder to spot. Check the faces: if it's got black leather on the nose, it's not a reindeer, caribou, or moose. If the snout is broad and swollen, it's a moose… though the sheer size of those things is a dead giveaway, too.

    Not entirely sure how to tell red deer, white-tail, and sika deer (Japanese deer, see the bowing deer from Nara) apart from the faces, still figuring that one out. But reindeer are easy, just assume Rudolph is the incorrect model (so Metzen is clearly incorrect, too). Also worth noting Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer is not public domain, the licensing is still managed by a company. So you can make references to it, but using the name is a big no-no. Reindeer have a different naming convention, too: males are called bulls, females are called cows. In practice, 'buck' and 'doe' are used, too.

    Last fun fact: deer do occasionally eat meat. They've been observed to eat dead birds, steal eggs from nests, or eat washed-up fish. So Gorehorn might just be saving up for a snack.

  3. I'm surprised you don't seem to be aware of the story of Drustvar, Crendor. You should quest through that zone some time and then join me in lamenting the fact that we never got a Drust raid in BfA or Shadowlands. Also, Simon Templeman is there. The voice of Kain from the titular "Legacy of Kain" series of games.

    A few more fun points / tidbits about Reindeer:
    Reindeer and caribou are indeed the same animal (Rangifer tarandus) and are members of the deer family. In Europe, they are called reindeer. In North America, they are called caribou if they are wild, and reindeer if they are domesticated.
    Additionally, Both male and female reindeer grow antlers – where as in 'deer' typically only the male grows antlers. Male reindeer begin to grow antlers in February and female reindeer in May. Both sexes finish growing their antlers at the same time but shed them at different times of the year. Typically, males drop their antlers in the late fall, leaving them without antlers until the following spring, while females keep their antlers through the winter until their calves are born in the spring. Thus – if a reindeer still has its antlers in winter (Christmas time in the northern hemisphere) it is a female – so…all the reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh are female.
