Khalkotaur

• Spawns by trading Gnarled Taurus Horn to ??? @ upper right of (G-10)
• ??? is in the corner between Aestutaurs and Slough Bats.

• Only uses the following TP abilities:
• Mow: Modified version. AoE damage + poison + dispels up to 3 buffs except for food, songs/rolls, and atma. This version of Mow ignores Utsusemi; however it is possible for Utsusemi to be one of the buffs dispelled, which will cause shadows to be removed.
• Apocalyptic Ray: Conal Doom. (Not a gaze attack; turning around will not allow you to avoid this attack)
• Lethal Triclip: AoE physical attack + knockback + Max HP Down. If the player with hate is struck by this attack, he/she may lose all Cruor stat enhancements a few seconds after being hit. Max HP Down will not take effect if the appropriate +HP cruor enhancement is present. Absorbed by 1-3 Utsusemi shadows.

• Is of the Red Tauri Family.
• Does not appear to possess any enhanced movement speed.
• Melee attacks have additional effect of absorbing buffs from the target. It is not indicated in the log when this occurs, but rather by a Drain Samba/Blood Weapon animation.

• Has two hits per attack (Like Hand-to-Hand) and can Double Attack.
• Unlike Bukhis, Khalkotaur is capable of guarding and countering.
  • If the red "!!" weakness has been struck, melee damage can be improved by attacking from its sides/back while it is frozen.

The Khalkotauroi (tauroi khalkeoi, "bronze bulls") are mythical creatures that appear in the Greek myth of Jason and the Golden Fleece. They are two immense bulls with bronze hooves and bronze mouths through which they breathe fire. In the Argonautica, Jason is promised the prized fleece by King Aeetes if he can first yoke the Khalkotauroi and use them to plough a field. The field was then to be sown with dragon's teeth.

Jason survived the burning flames of the bronze bulls by smoking in a magical potion that protected him from the heat. The potion had been provided by Medea, King Aeetes own daughter, who had fallen in love with Jason.

The Khalkotauroi were a gift to King Aeetes from the Greek god of smiths, Hephaestus.

He Hephaistos had also made for him Aeetes king of Kolkhis Bulls with feet of bronze the Khalkotauroi and bronze mouths from which the breath came out in flame, blazing and terrible. And he had forged a plough of indurated steel, all in one piece. - Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.215
