The Bounder is a creature not unlike the Kangaroo of Earth. What differs it is it's ability to leap greater distances. The Bounder can, in a single jump, span up to 1200'! The various compounds and ichors that flow through it's veins are highly sought after by alchemists, and a few drams can fetch up to 600 gold pieces. However, those seeking to attack Bounders should take great care: if the Bounder cannot leap away, it can use it's feet in a vicious kicking attack capable of slaying great warhorses with a single blow!
