Overview
Great White Bison is a legendary herbivore found in the Pailune region of Crimson Desert. It is one of the 24 legendary animals scattered across Pywel. The Great White Bison is a massive white bison that stands out among a herd of regular orange-brown bison on the mountainside near the letter P on the map in Pailune. Despite its impressive size, it is classified as a herbivore, meaning it drops a cosmetic decoration rather than combat equipment.
Defeating the Great White Bison rewards the White King's Candlestick, a wall decoration for the player house. This is a purely cosmetic item with no combat stats.

Location
The Great White Bison spawns on the mountainside near the letter P on the Pailune region map. After using Leebur's Soul (obtained from defeating Black Fang), the bison's location is marked on the world map. The spawn area is close to where the legendary horse Royler can be found near Snowgrass Hearth, making it possible to tame the horse and hunt the bison in the same trip.
As a herbivore, the Great White Bison does not appear as a red dot on the minimap. You need to visually scan the herd of regular bison in the area. The Great White Bison is significantly larger and bright white compared to the orange-brown coloring of normal bison, so once you know what to look for, it should be identifiable at a moderate distance.
Combat
The Great White Bison has a larger health pool than smaller legendary herbivores like deer. It can charge and ram with considerable force, so be prepared to dodge its forward charges. Despite being classified as a herbivore, the bison can still hit hard if you get caught in a direct charge.
Fire damage: Fire is extremely effective. Flame Strike or any fire-based ability will knock the bison to the ground, giving you free damage.
Stay to the side: The bison's charge attacks have strong forward momentum but limited turning. Dodge sideways and attack from the flank.
Watch for herd aggro: Regular bison in the area may also become hostile if you attack near them. Try to isolate the Great White Bison before engaging.
Bring healing items: Braised Meat and Meat Skewers are recommended in case the bison lands a charge.
Reward: White King's Candlestick
Defeating the Great White Bison drops the White King's Candlestick, a wall decoration for the player house. This ornamental candlestick can be mounted on walls in your home and contributes to housing completion. Like all legendary herbivore rewards, it is a cosmetic item with no combat functionality.
