I spy something tall and spotted

Artorias hadn't been home long before Ulric brought him up to speed on what he'd missed. The Hallows was in the midst of preparing for their Feast of Unity, and everyone had a role and a job to perform. Artorias was still amazed it had already been a year since they'd moved from Boreas to Auster; where had the time gone? He was keen to give Ezra and his hunting party a hand, glad to spend time with his best friend once more. So when Ezra had returned to the castle and brought news of these giant spotted camel-like creatures with impossibly long necks, well, Artorias just had to see what he was on about!

They found the giraffes down in southern Auster, grazing on some of the taller trees. They didn't look nearly as imposing as the mammoth they'd hunted, and certainly seemed much more frail with those stilts for legs. The animals appeared pretty top heavy... perhaps they'd be easier to topple? "Other than the hooves, their legs look pretty vulnerable and unguarded," said Artorias. "I could try slicing a leg out from under one with my sword. If we cripple it, it can't run, and then we can just bleed it out until it's dead." It was a pretty basic strategy, but he didn't think he'd have any issues cleaving one of those skinny legs. Then the pack could do what they do best.
