The Budorcas Ochae'nafod tribe is bonded to the takin, a large sheep-related species that more resembles cattle and is found in the Lianqai Mountains north of Qao-Baiji. There are three sub-species of takin, including the golden takin that is known for its yellow coat.

Appearance
The Budorcas tribe is the closest to a cattle-bonded tribe amongst the Ochae'nafod as is possible, as true cattle and buffalo are too large. [Heights] The build of the Budorcas tend toward solid and broad-shouldered with narrow hips, often in both genders. Their facial structure is similar to the humans of the region, with monolid eyes and flat faces, but they also consistently display wide, convex nose bridges reminiscent of their animal form. Their ears are about half the length of the typical Nafod ears, in part from the influence of their bonded species, but also to protect themselves in their cold alpine environment.
The takin has small horns that grown from the the top of the head to the side, then curving upward, which are present in both males and females. Budorcas tribespeople sometimes shift these horns onto their Nafod form.
Hair color among the Budorcas takes after the dominant color of their bonded species' coat, and there is some variation between the subspecies and the individual. Those bonded to the golden takin have brilliant yellow-gold hair, while the others have shades of brown or light blonde hair. Brown eyes are the common color and their skin is the same as the humans of the region--often tan to deal with the intense sunlight at higher altitudes.
