Nekrozon: "Found only in the wilderness (usually in swampy areas), the terrible nekrozon resembles a huge buffalo with a long neck and boar's head. The gaze of a nekrozon is a 60' long magical death ray." (Jeff Easley illus, from Dungeons & Dragons Master DM's Book compiled by Frank Mentzer, TSR, 1985)

The nekrozon clearly began as AD&D's catoblepas, reworked for the legally distinct D&D rule system that was developed parallel to AD&D for two decades.

(Jeff Easley illus, from Dungeons & Dragons Master DM's Book compiled by Frank Mentzer, TSR, 1985) You'll find them everywhere in the US Pacific Northwest, mostly on tourist souvenirs, beer labels, chainsaw log art, and hanging out in Portland coffee shops.
