Jackamount by Stone Gargoyle

A bigger, more powerful cousin to the Jackalope, the Jackamount is a creature having the traits of a giant rabbit mixed with an antelope. It has sharp claws, powerful teeth and large antlers. It should not be confused with its even larger, more powerful cousin, the Jackamoose, which has more powerful antlers and hooves. Jackamounts are easily trainable as mounts, partially due to their docile nature and willingness to be trained.
Jackamounts live naturally in herds of 3d6 members and are herbivores, preferring grasslands and lightly forested areas. They are generally shy and timid, especially when outnumbered, but will fight if backed into a corner.
