Why does this tapir look so pleased with himself? "The cover, by Lisa A. Free, shows Kareel Keenclaw, the Morokanth, setting a trap for potential herdmen." (Different Worlds 22, July 1982, Chaosium)
The first edition of Runequest (1978) tells us Morokanths are "Intelligent, Tapir-like creatures" who "herd Men on the Plains of Prax. This is a necessary, accepted, tolerated, but not appreciated practice."
Borderlands (1982) explains that after the Devil blasted the fertile plains of Prax, the god Waha "arranged the Survival Covenant. The men and animals of Prax chose lots to see who would eat, and who would be eaten. In most cases men won. The exception was the morokanth. Of all the animals on the plains only they would treat men as their herd beasts."
