Strange Ox: Difference between revisions

}}

The '''Strange Ox''' is a mysterious ox first encountered in the [[Emerald Grove]] in [[Act One]].

=== Act One ===

Walking past the Strange Ox will prompt a {{Ability Check|Insight|10}} to notice its odd behavior. A character who passes the check can talk to the Strange Ox via {{SAI|Speak with Animals}} or {{SmRarityItem|Potion of Animal Speaking}} and make a {{Ability Check|Arcana|10}} to investigate further. Passing this check confirms the creature isn't what it appears to be.

If the player character is [[The Dark Urge]], they will relate to the ox's revelations and have the option to tell it about their own murderous nature, to which it will remark that the player may be a kindred spirit, but it only wishes to be an ox. The player can either respect it or chastise it for not giving in to its bloodlust - the latter option will cause the player to brutally attack the creature mid-dialogue, killing it without initiating combat as it struggles to retain its ox form until the very end. Note: If you kill it using [[The Dark Urge]] option, you will not get any EXP aside from inspiration.

=== Act Three ===

If you didn't kill the strange ox during [[Act Two]], then you can find him again at the beginning of [[Act Three]] in {{Coords|36|-149|Rivington}} on a hill west of the requisitioned barn. Approaching him will again trigger a {{Ability Check|Insight|10}} check to confirm his likeness. This time, the Ox is glad to see you. He was worried about your mental health since your last encounter with him, but perhaps he's just faking it because he needs something from you.
