Overview
Pyrox is a Super Rare Cow variant in Starsand Island. This fiery-looking bovine has the remarkable ability to destroy bushes when ridden, letting players clear paths and gather materials while mounted. Pyrox is rideable when fully grown and is obtained exclusively through breeding.
Among the four cow variants (common Cow, Fluffhorn, Hornox, and Pyrox), this is the rarest and the only one that functions as a mount.

Appearance
Pyrox has a fiery, volcanic appearance that sets it apart from every other cow in the game. While the common Cow has a typical domestic look, and the Fluffhorn and Hornox are distinguished by long hair or large horns respectively, Pyrox looks like something from another world. Its coloring and texture evoke fire and lava.
Bush Destruction
Pyrox's signature ability lets it walk across water surfaces while being ridden. This includes rivers, lakes, and shallow ocean areas. No other land mount can cross water without swimming, making Pyrox extremely useful for quickly clearing areas, small islands, and shortcuts across bodies of water that would otherwise require a long detour on foot.
Additionally, Pyrox can destroy bushes while mounted, providing a secondary utility for clearing obstacles during travel.

Products
Pyrox produces the same byproducts as all cow variants: Milk, Fur, Moo Ball, Poop (fertilizer), and Sleep Sand. Milk is a core cooking ingredient, and Moo Ball and Sleep Sand are specialty items used in crafting. There is no product bonus for rarer cow variants.
How to Obtain
Pyrox is obtained exclusively through breeding. Place a male and female cow in the same Cattle Barn or in a Selective Breeding House with an empty slot. Both parents must be fed and clean. As a Super Rare (Cow99), the breeding probability is the lowest of any cow variant. Community reports suggest that many breeding cycles are needed before a Pyrox appears.
Tips
Pyrox's water-walking ability opens up exploration routes that no other mount can match. Use it to reach isolated areas and treasure spots surrounded by water.
Breed two Rare cow variants (Fluffhorn or Hornox) together for a better chance at producing the Super Rare Pyrox.
Keep all breeding slots active simultaneously. The more attempts per day, the sooner you will see a Pyrox.
Remove parents with negative DNA traits (especially Pride) from your breeding pool immediately.
