The catoblepas is a massive and majestic creature, with a hulking, bovine body covered in shaggy, dark fur. Its head is large and heavy, with a pair of curling, twisted horns that protrude from its forehead. Its eyes are small and beady, and its mouth is filled with sharp, yellowed teeth. Despite its fearsome appearance, the catoblepas is a slow and sluggish creature, with a ponderous gait and a slow, plodding movement. Its most distinctive feature is its ability to project a deadly gaze from its eyes, which is said to kill or petrify any creature that meets its gaze. The catoblepas is a solitary and reclusive creature and is rarely seen by humans or other intelligent beings.
