Is it the N Avoca that are the larger of the Avocas, or the S Avocas? I ask because in all of the pictures I see, those N Avocas look like massive beasts, just like these images of DM.

DM Avoca issaid to be really big and the largest of all Avoca males. I do not know who is bigger out of rest - other two Northern Avocas or Southern Avocas.

I have asked to Game Ranger Rob about size of the N.Avoca male (Darkmane) and the Gowrie males. He says that are very similar in size
