The Gwinter
Also known as the godaphro, side-swiper, and mountain-stem-winder, the gwinter is of a strangely common sort of beast among the fearsome critters; it is kin, perhaps, to the side-hill gouger or the gyascutus. This grass-eating ungulate resembles something between the American Bison and a mountain goat, but has a curious adaptation to life on hills, mountains, and other inclines: where some animals have their forelegs shorter than their hind legs, and others have short hind legs and long forelegs, the gwinter has its front and rear legs of even length. The curiosity of its legs is that the limbs on the right side of its body are of an uneven length from the limbs on the left side of the body, allowing the gwinter to walk along the side of the hill without any difficulty, the legs on the higher part of the incline being shorter than the legs on the lower part. Some have the right legs longer than the left, and some have the reverse, and always move in the same direction along the hills or mountains they inhabit.
