Description
Gorehorns are large blue herbivore creatures that look like a cross between a bull and a rhino. A gorehorn is usually in the company of another gorehorn or sometimes found grazing alone. They are diurnal, active during the day and sleep at night. They are first encountered in chapter 1.

Strategy
Gorehorns are peaceful creatures, but will become aggressive when you near it or start attacking. You will, for start, hear the animal music for the gorehorn whenever you begin to approach one. When you approach a gorehorn, it will first make grunting sounds, sensing something. Immediately it sees you, it will grunt even more, giving you a warning to stay away. If you prolong too long or attack it first, the gorehorn will start to attack.


 * Since they're first encountered in chapter 1, a gorehorn can be troublesome for beginners and survivalist difficulty players, especially since Kara won't probably have anything but a knife at this point to attack it. Kara's knife does little damage to it, so if you encounter a gorehorn, simply avoid it or run away from it. Look for sticks in or in other island to cut and use them to craft a stick spear. It won't last for long, but it does considerable damage to a gorehorn. Basically any further level spear you craft can make your work easier for the gorehorn, especially if you have the ancestral spear.
 * Gorehorns are tough herbivores, and can do some heavy damage to you. It can swing up its horn to hit you, bull rush at you from a distance and buck kick at you if it turns its back. You can easily dodge their attacks if you lock on them.


 * For a surprise attack, sneak at it when its not looking or when its asleep at night. This could be risky if you sneak and attack it from behind, because it will do its buck kick attack.


 * Attacking two gorehorns at the same is suicide, as you cannot lock on both of them, and the other gorehorn will get the advantage of attacking you heavily. To soften up the difficult here, try to separate one gorehorn away, by either hitting it with a projectile weapon (which will sometimes trigger it to run away) or lure one gorehorn away from the other by running away. In this way, you'll be able to focus on one gorehorn.


 * Before you begin a battle with a gorehorn, reduce up its health with a projectile weapons like arrows and slingshots. Sometimes a gorehorn shot by a projectile weapon will panic and run away. However, other times it will be alerted by your presence if you attack it with a projectile weapon.
