Clefthoof Clefthooves ( pl . also " clefthoof " ) are large , hairy kodo - like beasts native to Nagrand and Alternate Draenor . They can be found in southern Nagrand . They are skinnable for Thick Clefthoof Leather and drop Clefthoof Meat when killed . The clefthoof are the wooly cousins of the kodo , but are not biologically related , having developed independently on separate worlds . Clefthoof became sickly and corrupt as a result of Draenor ' s fel corruption and subsequent transformation into Outland . It appears that ancient orc s hunted clefthoof and used their neck plating as ritual ornamentation for various sites . The Ancestral Grounds is an example of this . Notable clefthoof are Brokentoe , an old clefthoof who is the first challenge faced in the Ring of Blood , and the ancient Banthar , whose horn is wanted as proof of hunting skill by Hemet Nesingwary . In Warlords of Draenor . From " Beasts of the Savage Lands – Nagrand " : Heroes who ventured to Outland may have encountered the clefthoof before , but seeing one of these majestic creatures in their prime is a different experience entirely . Large enough to quake the ground , covered with a thick valuable pelt , and armed with enormous tusks , these gigantic beasts are a hunter ’ s most treasured prize and worst nightmare rolled into one . The meat of a single adult clefthoof can feed an orc clan for days , but their inclination to travel in large packs makes them dangerous prey - beware their devastating headbutt or swiping attacks with their formidable tusks . Fortunately , it ’ s nearly impossible to be surprised by these massive beasts – heroes will be able to see and hear them coming from far away ! Hunter pet . Though hunter s can respec their pet clefthooves into Cunning or Ferocity , they are inherently Tenacity . In addition to the abilities that come standard with all pets ( and ) and those given to their natural or retrained specialization , all clefthooves are given the following : Biology . Clefthoof are large herbivores native to the plains of Nagrand . They seem to have adapted to complete exposure , their wooly coats and thick skin protecting them from the elements , and living only in open areas . They have evolved with large , powerful horns and bony neck plating , both of which can be assumed to function mainly in dueling between males over mates due to the absence of a predatory species in Nagrand able to take down the clefthoof . Their great size is most likely the only deterrent the clefthoof needs against natural predators . Although stated by a strategy guide , it would seem impossible for kodos and clefthoof to be related to each other ( except through a titan connection ) . During the original Horde incursions into Azeroth , any such animal accidentally finding its way through the Dark Portal would have found itself in the Eastern Kingdoms where no currently - living animals resemble the kodos or clefthoof . Although both are plains animals , the kodo is native to the plains of Kalimdor , where it was domesticated by the tauren , long before the Dark Portal ever linked Draenor and Azeroth . That said , it should be noted that there are many other races native to Azeroth that are also native to Draenor , including skunk s , tallstrider s , scorpion s , ancient s and even worg s and wolves , among other things . Another possible reason for their similarities is parallel evolution , where in different environments with similar conditions , animals tend to take the same body shapes .
