Takin
Budorcas taxicolorBlue
High in misty Asian mountains, a takin stands like a creature assembled from several tough ideas: a bison’s bulk, a goat’s agility, and a musk scent that announces it has arrived. Its thick coat and heavy shoulders look made for pushing through cold fog and steep brush.

The animal behind the card
Takins browse on leaves, shoots, and herbs, climbing surprisingly well for such a solid animal and using their strength to force paths through dense vegetation. In groups, they move with steady confidence, calves tucked close, the herd’s momentum turning cliffs and forests into connected routes.
Because their range can be fragmented, they benefit from protected mountain corridors where herds can migrate and find seasonal food. When you picture a takin, it feels like the mountains themselves briefly decided to stand up and walk away.
Bestiary facts
Takins smell a bit like a barnyard because oily skin secretions help weatherproof them.
