An '''Axehindaxehind''' is an animal native to [[Roshar]].{{book ref|Edgedancer|1}}
 
==Appearance and Anatomy==
They are lean, four legged grazing animals. They leap on their hind legs with their two clawed forelegs pulled in close to the body. They are easily startled prey animals, eaten by humans. They have barely any shell on them, which is unusual for a Rosharian animal. Their habitat includes [[Tashikk]], but is otherwise unknown. [[Lift]] finds them tasty to eat.{{book ref|Edgedancer|1}}
They are lean animals with six appendeges. When they need to move quickly, they leap using four legs, with their two clawed forelegs pulled in close to the body. They have very little carapace on them, which is unusual for a Rosharan animal.{{book ref|Edgedancer|1}} Axehinds have some characteristics in common with [[axehound]]s, but it is unclear if the two animals are related.
 
==Behavior and Habitat==
{{Theory}}Axehinds appear to be a Rosharan analogue of deer, in the same way [[axehound]]s are analogues of dogs.{{book ref|Edgedancer|1}}
Axehinds typically graze on grass in open fields. As prey animals, they are easily startled, and will quickly try to evade potential threats. Their habitat includes northern [[Tashikk]], but is otherwise unknown.{{book ref|Edgedancer|1}}
 
They are consumed as food by humans.{{book ref|Edgedancer|1}}
 
==Trivia==
*Like the axehound, the axehind seems to be analogous to (and take part of its name from) an animal not native to Roshar, as "[[wikipedia:Hind|hind]]" is a term for a female deer.
