G is for Gors

The hordes of Beastmen that populate the dark forests of the Old World are filled with Gors. Gors present with great variation in form, but always a humanoid with the head and cloven hooves of a Goat and arms and torso of a human. Great pairs of horns are always present and in the Beastman herds can mark Gors for greatness. Gors lacking any horns are the lowest in the herds and often the subject of never ending “hazing," bullying, and fodder for the pikes, axes, and swords of Imperial armies and their allies.

Size matters in Gor herds. The largest Gors are commonly referred to by scholars of these creatures as Bestigors. Minotaurs may tower above the greatest Bestigors, but are not thought just to be a larger form of Gor or Bestigor. Minotaurs are often fearsome leaders of great hordes of Beastman.

Gors have been known to wield powerful shaman like magic. Magic that can bend the mind of its targets in ways that lead to despair on the battlefield: visions of comrades dead or terrain that changes misleading armies to ambush, or worse.
