Buffalumps are large peaceful grazing mammals. They are popular among humans for food as well as serving as pack animals and farming aids. Wild buffalump can be seen all along Shoal Fields and the Wandering Plains. They mostly keep to themselves and aren't prone to stampeding. If it weren't for their generally unpleasant smell, they'd be the perfect companions.

Slow to anger. Slow to move. Slow thinking. Slow eaters. Buffalump are never in anything resembling a hurry. But there isn't a stronger pack animal in the Wandering Plains and the amount of goods they can carry on trading trips is remarkable enough to make up for their lack of urgency. Or if farming is more your speed, a single Buffalump can plough an entire field without needing to rest.
