How about as another option the Uroxi switches souls with a young skybull (leaving his comrades to look after his body with a skybull inside it) while he either :

1. sneaks into the herd and mates with a cow (dangerous if he cannot get past the herd bull)
2. battles the herd bull for dominance and then mates with a cow (even more dangerous)

The second option would result in a better mount as he could get his pick of the herd. His new mount could show up after the normal gestation period.

Here are some that I know of:
Urox goes to Prax to the Storm Age and tracks down a zazur, rescues it from chaos and it comes howme with him, being a normal animal. Urox climbs Stormwalk (can be in any age), ambushes a zasur and fights it using rope and stickUrox wanders nearly lost in Golden Age and rescues a cow. Zazur (son) shows up a year later for a lifetime of service to the uroxi, his clan (or band), and the cows of the herd. Urox wrestles with the earth giant, in the Golden or earliest Storm Age, and twists his head off. Among other things revealed from the corpse iare storm bulls. A supernatural creature can be persuaded, conquered or trailed and ambushed, and comes home as a blood brother.

Remember that these all include several stages of story events. Variant versions of most of them exist. What they share is: Entry cost of 5 HP
wager of Ride [everything], which MUST be lost Net result of Ride zazur at 17 OR your Worship [Stormbull/urox], whichever is higher.
