'''Muskhorn''' (ムスクホーン ''Musukuhōn''), or just '''Musk''' (ムスク ''Musuku''), is one of the [[Autobot]]-allied Beastformers fighting a war on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]]. His role in the Autobot Beastformer forces is a mountain combatant. He also holds the rank of King of [[West Yutoranta]], in the mountains of which he was born, over Emperor [[Pangol]], who unfortunately chose to fight on the opposite side in the war. A musician with a big heart, he is often seen practicing his craft and creating new songs that give peace of mind to those who hear them. His [[MVP Weapon]], the Mind Sabel, can emit a secret aroma from the Yutorantan mountains with the power to affects the brains of other creatures, allowing Muskhorn to control them. It can also draw out people's hidden potential and any dormant superpowers they may have.

A gentle soul, he has learned secret arts from deep within the West Yutoranta mountains, which allow him to hinder his foes and assist his allies.

He carries himself with a well-trained air, and uses his music to soothe the souls of his people. It's clearly working, since he's managed tame the vicious Pangol, who has become a peaceful being and now serves as Muskhorn's subordinate Emperor.
