Due to the lack of large ruminants that evolved on Aurus, stickfigures instead domesticated edmontosaurs [colloquially referred to as honks or honkers, sometimes playfully referred to as cows] for the purpose of egg, leather, and meat production. Because their chosen farmed megafauna is non-mammalian, they have no easy access to milk and instead collect “milk” from large phorusrhacids.

Honks are well-mannered animals with bright and playful personalities, though their enormous size and skittish nature means they are still dangerous and can harm someone not equipped to handle them. They are commonly paired with smaller farm animals such as pheasants, geese, griffons, and ducks to herd together and protect each other.

Much like in real-world cows, some honks are given a medical cannula for the sake of health monitoring and research. This has strongly positive effects on the ease of medical treatment, despite the ethical debates brought forward by animal rights activists.

If you were to ask me what kind of dinosaur most resembles a cow, I'd be hard pressed to choose anything other than a hadrosaur. Large, muscular grazing animals with even a similar body plan to a cow. Give these fellas some ears and shrink their tail, and you have a cow. It wasn't a hard decision to make the dino-cows of aurus be selectively bred hadrosaurs.

While dinosaurs and other animals on Aurus aren't true to their earthan counterparts, they're similar enough that we can refer to them using the same words in most cases.
