A War Moose in Dungeons & Dragons is a specialized mount, typically associated with rugged, northern cultures or fantasy settings with powerful, unconventional war beasts. While not an official creature in standard D&D sourcebooks, homebrew settings and third-party content often introduce the War Moose as a formidable alternative to horses for knights, barbarians, and rangers.

Larger and stronger than a standard elk, a War Moose is bred for battle, boasting enhanced endurance, aggression, and intelligence. It can charge through enemy lines, using its massive antlers to gore and trample foes. Some versions grant it abilities like a trampling charge, increased carrying capacity, or even cold resistance if native to icy regions. 

Riders of War Moose are often elite warriors, rangers, or druids, trained to harness their mount’s raw power. These creatures excel in rough terrain where traditional warhorses struggle, such as dense forests or snowy landscapes. Their imposing presence can instill fear in enemies, and their sheer strength allows them to serve as battering rams in battle. 

In some settings, War Moose are revered as sacred animals, with tribes or knightly orders bonding with them through rituals. Druids and Beast Masters may have them as animal companions, and certain magical variants may possess elemental traits. 

As a homebrew addition, DMs often grant them unique traits like advantage on saving throws against being frightened, increased hit points, or the ability to wield specialized barding. A War Moose in combat is a terrifying sight—a massive, antlered beast capable of charging headlong into danger with unstoppable force.
