Devil's longhorns are to ordinary cattle what hell hounds are to ordinary dogs. Though they remain violent and willful, these fiendish longhorns have all been domesticated, at least in the technical sense of the word. Devil's longhorns are only found in herds or on properties maintained by various devils. These herds provide devils with beasts of burden, foodstuffs, and an excuse to press lesser fiends into service as brutally-overworked cowhands.
