"If I get through this, I'm going to grill a whole blood ox and eat the entire thing myself."

- Corvo Attano

Blood Oxen are a type of large and handsome land-based mammal in Dishonored utilized for their milk, meat, and leather.

Characteristics
Blood Oxen are bovine creatures gathered in herds. They have a thick, reddish-grey hide, and a large set of curving horns upon their heads. Unlike other bovine, their teeth are more reminiscent of an omnivore than of those belonging to a true herbivore, with some teeth and even their snouts showing porcine characteristics. They do not appear to have fur or hair on their heads.

Blood Ox and Thomas were once best friends who got excited to hear each had been offered a part in the new Dishonored game. That friendship took a turn for the worst when Thomas was offered the lucrative position of one of Daud’s top Whalers, while Ox was offered to be nothing more than a head mounted to a wall. To this day Ox still denies Thomas’s part in the Brigmore Witches DLC, saying the whaler presented there could be anybody. MDGeistMD02 (talk) 19:41, May 15, 2016 (UTC)
