I'd imagine their coats would make a thick felt ideal for tents or insulation layers in quilts, sturdy stuffing and padding for dolls and clothes, paintbrushes, shoes, and nets/ ropes. Why not?
I like this one. However, being a bit of a biologist, instead of going the cattle/bison route, I might have gone more to the goat-antelope direction. Specifically, the Takin. Takin are within the size ranges of Deep Rothe, and are far more agile over uneven ground than cattle, oxen and bison, which would suite the Underdark perfectly. And their temperament and physicality also matches well. I've stood with cattle, oxen, and bison before. Bison are the most intimidating of the lot, until you get close to a bull Takin. I swear it feels like a bear that's thrown a hide around itself.
Takin, at their largest(1,300 lbs for largest know[with possible genetic condition affecting weight] or 710 lbs for largest captive with no possible health issues), are tiny compared to the average bison(1,800 lbs to 2,200 lbs for European, 880 lbs to 2,800 lbs for American). Takin are my favorite goat/antelope, but they cannot compare to anything in the cattle family.
@@Im-Not-a-Dog - No, they don't compare in size. I agree completely. I'm just saying they'd have a better chance to survive the terrain. My brother used to be the keeper of the Takin at the MN Zoo. Successfully bred a number of them for other zoos. He was also the only one that could "safely" be around the big bull. Bison are huge and intimidating, but are generally docile. Takin are Dangerous, with a capital D. Need to get away from a bison? Jump up on a great big rock and he'll eventually get tired of eyeing you and go away. The Takin bull will come up and get you. ;)
@@roberthill5549 True. Goats are infinitely more aggressive than cattle. The meanest animal I've ever encountered was a goat at a petting zoo. And as for your brother, thats frickin awesome! I've worked with cows, beefalo(buffalo cow hybrid) on a few ranches, and horses as a kid, but never anything that exotic. Bulls can be pretty damn agressive, particularly if you're new to them. But oddly enough, the ones used for rodeo actually tend to be the calmest. They kinda get to where they understand that the whole "try to murder the guy on my back" thing is just a game and get reasonably friendly towards humans. Dont get me wrong, they still get fiesty if something triggers them, but other than that theyre pretty damn chill. Its the ones that never see anyone other than their rancher that get really mean. And some of them can jump as well as any goat, they're just a lot less coordinated about landing.
I always read the comments on these videos, and I've got to say as someone who has worked around all kinds of farm animals cattle, sheep, goats, horses. And also I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of the manu related species around the world, I had never heard of the Takin. I had to pause the video and look them up, wow, super interesting. They honestly look like an animal that you could just copy and paste right into a fantasy setting. An almost perfect visual cross of a strange beef cow and large meat sheep. Super interesting!
Deep Rothé should be a language. You're telling me Circle of the Land Underdark Druids never cast Speak with Animals and learned how to sign with lights? Drow can also innately cast Dancing Lights, anyway... Imagine how useful a shepherd literally talking to it's flock using semaphore would be.
This is one the pieces of my underdark campaign ecology that I was missing. Now I can describe the intense smell of the districts in the underground cities that cultivate these. It’s the little things in world building. Thanks AJ!
7:48 Reminded me of the Dave Barry passage: "You .... want to be on the lookout for ... moose. I had a moose encounter once, when my wife and I were camping in Yellowstone National Park .... [O]ne morning I woke up...and there, maybe fifteen feet away, was an animal approximately the size of the Western Hemisphere and shaped like a horse with a severe steroid problem. It pretended to be peacefully eating moss, but this was clearly a clever ruse designed to lull me into believing that it was a gentle, moss-eating creature. Obviously, no creature gets to be that large by eating moss. A creature gets to be that large by stomping other creatures to death with its giant hooves. Clearly what it wanted me to do was approach it, so it could convert me into a wilderness pizza while bellowing triumphant moss-breath bellows into the morning air. Fortunately, I am an experienced woodsperson, so I had the presence of mind to follow the Recommended Wilderness Moose-Encounter Procedure, which was to get in the car and indicate to my wife, via a system of coded horn-honks, that she was to pack up all our equipment and put it in the car trunk, and then get in the trunk herself, so that I would not have to open the actual door until we had relocated to a safer area, such as Ohio."
Zebuine cattle are also derived from a different species and there is yet another in the Pacific islands. Combine that with domestic water buffalo and we actually have atleast 4 separate species of cattle some can cross breed with others some cant
Ghost Rothe hold a special place in my heart. In 3rd edition they have a staggering 26 strength for a CR 2, which makes them a perfect candidate for the tauric template. It's basically a mix and match template that lets you make centaur-like creatures. The new creature's strength is a function of the quadruped partner's strength , so it makes for a fantastically strong new sapient being. XD
The real life history would be a nice fallback if you ever run out of dnd or other roleplay to talk about. Great content! You should work more of this into your videos.
You arrive at a tavern two rothe are tied outside the bar one with a crude saddle..the second munching on a patch of mushrooms..from outside you hear a loud deep voice..."well then I'm gonna ride my rothe down the street to the next bar".."your ale tastes like rothe piss anyway"
Extremely well done video aj! I enjoyed the mixture of real world facts with the lore of the video very well done! ❤ 🐂🐃🐄 Also make one wonder what stingrays facts you'll put in the Ixitxachitls video, dosen't it?😏
Just had an idea for a scam. The druid wild shapes into a rothe. Then The Bard sells it to a farmer. After some time when the farmer is not looking the druid wild shapes into a another creature and escapes.
If you going that far, a druid can restore his animal companion to life as long as any part of the Animal is left and he performs a ceremony with a nice meal. By my logic with a Boar companion you could have unlimited bacon!
I believe that would qualify as torture, assuming it remembers events leading up to death. And it would be...at least a generous to assume it wouldn't. So I would rule if the participating characters were not already evil they should be shifting in that direction.
I've wanted to do a dwarf ranger or druid for a while now. I find the idea of a dwarf that wants to stop mining and thinks metal and gems should stay in the ground very funny 🤣.

So how did deep Rothe become a thing did some drow steal some from the surface during a raid to take back home and evolution took its course from there or was it the dwarves who learned the cattle could thrive underground?
I now know more about the history, terminology and general facts of the bovinae species and thier subfamilies than I'd ever thought I would. Not complaining though.
Hello AJ, always appreciate it when you use really life animals, insects, birds, etc., to describe the monsters in your videos. This is something you have always done, since the beginning. This information does help when trying to role-play the creature and when describing size, color, smells and surrounding area. Its hard to image something that you have never seen, nor will you every see in real life. Wasn't expecting a Rothe video, thank you for the surprise. Thanks AJ & have a wonderful day.

@@AJPickett Cow is more tender than goat but compared to the lamb I can eat, it is tough. You have to cook it a certain way to even get close to lamb. That statement therefore is less promising than one may believe.

That sounds adorable! The barbarian is probably pulling the plow because no one knows how to harness and drive the horses. The cows are milked by mage hand because the wizard is put off by the smell and allergic to hay. The bull is often put under a sleep spell when the wizard gets spooked, fence or no fence. The fighter is proficient with every weapon on the face of the planet, but struggled to cut thatch in a sharp sedge patch because you can't dodge when everything is sharp. The monk winds up running up the walls and across the tops of trees trying to catch escaped chickens. The paladin is paranoid about livestock getting sick or hurt and is constantly healing healthy animals and purifying clean feed and water. They have probably named every chicken cute granny names even if they can't actually tell any two chickens apart.
Hey can you do a video on the spell scared because I want to update the class and play one for our curse of strahd campaign I think It’d be cool you know but I’ve never done anything like this before and I want it to be balanced and well it’s be nice to give others access to it so if you did I’d be in debted to you please and thank you
I was super confused for the majority of this video, thinking it was supposed to be a redo of the catoblepas until I finally remembered its ridiculous name. Edit: a word
I love how the D&D content on this channel can jump from a weapon that can instantly kill any dragon to a cow. It’s glorious.
I love how I can see Dr. Bright pop up in a D&D channel ;)

I dont know about New Zealand, but the average weight of Beef cattle at the time of slaughter in the United States is 1,350lbs/612kg.
Everything's bigger in Texas boy
@@edsapp6678 I'm 35 and Aj is older, pretty sure he just accidentally said 650 lbs but ment kg
@@ironreed2654 The size difference between Yak bulls and Yak Cows.... but I can see how that was not clear, my bad.
@@AJPickett We do also feed them beyond their natural size.
@@ironreed2654 yep, no doubt, the non-yaks can get pretty huge.
Roth’s video here. Axebeak video incoming?
Froghemoth, Ixitzachitl, tressym, axebeak.
I always forget to like videos of yours. So leaving a comment for the algorithm. Thank you for awesome videos
Good video.
Are you going to do a review of baldurs gate 3?
Probably not.
That was intensely nerdy. Love it.
Loved the video. Will we get anymore dragonlance?
Confirmed
@@AJPickett thank you! Big fan. By far the best D&D content on UA-cam👍👍👍
Is there regular cattle in the forgotten realms
Yes.
Hey can you do a video on the spell scared because I want to update the class and play one for our curse of strahd campaign I think It’d be cool you know but I’ve never done anything like this before and I want it to be balanced and well it’s be nice to give others access to it so if you did I’d be in debted to you please and thank you
I shall give it a look see.
Thanks you have no idea what this means to me
Hope it’s causing any problems
Once again love your content
Ok which type of rothé would make the best death cheese.
Isn't Death cheese made from the milk of the Catoblepas?
Hmm, can they interbreed with catoblepas? Probably not. Also, don't forget the people who sustain that lucrative industry.
I was super confused for the majority of this video, thinking it was supposed to be a redo of the catoblepas until I finally remembered its ridiculous name.
Edit: a word
Okie dokie
