Erumpent- The Erumpent is an African gray monster of great power. Weighing in at about a ton, it can, from a distance, be bruised with a rhinoceros. It has a thick leather that repels many curses and spells, a long, sharp horn over its nose and a long rope-shaped tail. Erumpents give birth one child at a time. Erumpent does not attack unless it is violently provoked, but when it does the results are catastrophic, as its horn can pierce everything from the skin to the metal, and contains a deadly liquid that causes the one that was infected with it explode. Erumpents are not very numerous, as males blow each other up during the mating period. They are treated with great caution by African sorcerers. The horns of the Erumpents, as well as the tails and the explosive fluid, are used in potions and classified as marketable materials, class B (Dangerous and subject to strict control).
