Pony Kombat New Blood 3 Round 1, Battle 12

Special talent: Pony/bull fighting

Description: Tauro is the son of Iron Will and an unknown mare who died during childbirth. Tauro was nothing like his father as a child and was instead a very happy and passive foal, despite his dad's disdain for that type of behavior. He always imagined he'd have a talent for taking care of plants or animals. One day he was out and found an old mare cornered by some younger, tougher ponies trying to rob her. Tauro rushed to her rescue and fought off the thieves. That's when he got his cutie mark for fighting. His dad later tried to use his talent for profit by entering him in pony fighting or bull fighting contests. Tauro wasn't unhappy with his talent despite what he'd always dreamed of being skilled at, but he was unhappy with his dad using his talent for money instead of actually caring that his son was doing what he was best at. Eventually Tauro decided he should look the part and got his mane styled and his nose and ear pierced. He's fully accepted his talent but he doesn't always use it for sport. He mainly likes to use his talent in fighting to he others who can't defend themselves.

Combat strengths: 
-He's had years of fight training both for doing good deeds and for sport. Despite his tough looks, he mainly relies on wit to find an opponents weak spots or where he can swoop in to get the advantage.
-Tauro is also physically strong from years of practice and training and uses his strength to knock his opponents off balance or deliver blows that can knock the air out of them. He often uses his head and horns as sort of battering rams. Despite his somewhat muscular build he's an above average runner.
-He over all has a love for the sport and puts his all into a every fight he participates in. He's ambitious not only to show his talent but also to impress his father. In the heat of the moment he may try to stoop to dirty tricks such as kicking up dirt to hide in or temporarily blind the opponent. He's usually very stung by a loss but he always tries to be a good sport about it and likes to learn new techniques from his opponents after their fights.

Combat weaknesses:
-Despite Tauro having wings he's never really learned to be a great flier since he only had his father to learn from. He can use them to hover off the ground or spread them to make quicker turns but he doesn't exercise them much, meaning he is stuck to ground attacks and doesn't have the speed of a pegasus. If he has his wings open too long without proper defense they can easily be targeted to knock him off balance.
-Even though he sometimes uses dirty tricks of his own he can be sympathetic and will try to help out an injured opponent. He knows how to dish out tricks but he hasn't yet figured out how to notice or take them.
