fun fact, they dont stop at ramming animals! Snow storm zapins also try and stampede people. Aimining for the ankles, usually it just leaves people bruised BUT

There is a rare instance of zapins having horns that branch out from one into two. and so. This can make inphernals fall, and they get fully stampeded instead...

They go out of their way to run INTO the opponent unlike their Green Mounts version which runs away

I imagine some villages have mastered hunting them (those outside of the capital of course), there is an overabundance of them and they are quite invasive so hunting them is normal.

Their coats are used to make all kind of clothes, locals make fur boots out of them to be ''As Fast As A Zapin'', while in the capital, rich folk buy fur coats made out fo their tails

their horns are also made into festive cups and decorations... even accessories for certain celebrations..

Green Mount are not hunted as much, there is not that many to begin with. Those living up in the green mountains (unaffected by Icedaggers storm) rely on farm livestock rather than hunting down wild animals.

Zapins there are much more timid but still curious, they run out to check out the villages and then run back once discovered. they stop is they are not pursued and run back to check out some more

Blackrock before, it wasn't always blizzarding every other day, not cold all year round. It was beautiful, green and blooming in spring. Warm and shining in summer.

It changed, the reason as to why...

A long time ago, the first zombie breakthough happened, its still a mystery what could cause the deity Venomshank to do so. But since then, he was not well liked in Blackrock, even forbidden to worship. The destruction his zombies caused, the lives they took... Blackrock was on the brink of becoming history.

Until Icedagger stepped up, he showered the fields and forests with ice and snow. Trapping the zombies in ice, saving Blackrock, but dooming it to eternal winter.

This also ties to Icedagger ?being mostly absent? (Maybe it was retconned now) as all of his power goes into keeping Blackrock's ice strong enough to contain the plague.
