|Etymology=Aerbicar means "single horn" in Boiyende.
|Introduction='''Aerbicares''' are large herbivorous mammals native to the region of [[Balúrail]], distinguished by a single prominent horn projecting from the forehead. They have long been an important source of food for the [[Mifajene]]. Once numerous, their populations have declined as a result of human settlement by the [[Tuzquão]].

|Etymology=The name ''aerbicar'' means "single horn" in [[Tuzquês]].
The Mifajene have hunted and relied on Aerbicares for 1000s of years.
|Description=Aerbicares are large, heavy-bodied quadrupeds with a thick coat of coarse hair. They have long, narrow heads with a slightly convex profile, small eyes, and upright pointed ears. A large horn projects forward and upward from the forehead, with a much smaller horn or bony projection positioned behind it.
 
The neck is short and thick, merging into a deep chest and broad torso. The back is nearly level, with rounded hindquarters. The legs are relatively short and sturdy, ending in broad feet with hoof-like digits. A thin, moderately long tail ends in a small tuft of hair.
|Distribution and Habitat=Aerbicares are found in both the [[Western Lowlands]] and [[Eastern Highlands]] subregions of Balúrail, although their range has contracted significantly as human settlement has expanded.
|Diet=Aerbicares are herbivores.
|In Society=[[File:Aerbicar_Cave_art.jpg|thumb|Mifajene cave art depicting an Aerbicar]]
The [[Mifajene]] have hunted Aerbicares for thousands of years and have relied on them as a staple food source. Depictions of the animal appear in Mifajene cave art found in the eastern foothills of Balúrail.
