I think you have Donner & Blitzen mixed up, and Dasher & Prancer. You might want to check with Pluma though.

Blitzen is the lightning deer though and is the second easiest deer of all of them to identify. o.O
The labels look fine to me based on other variations of reindeer takes.

I figured that the reindeer with smaller horns would be less masculine, so i named this one prancer


and this one dasher


simply because those are less masculine names and they are less masculine deer.

And Donder should be the correct spelling of Donner. American English is so lazy with pronunciations.

I took these names from the advent discussions thread and most people agreed with them. I'll be pm'ing the artist about them c:

As for the name spelling wrong - check chry's post on the last page.

I pulled out our book with a copy of 'A Visit from Saint Nicholas' (also called 'Twas the Night Before Christmas', where the names came from) and, apparently it's spelled Donder there.

Though yes, both spells/pronunciations seem to be accepted.

And yet Rudolph has smaller antlers-

If anything, given how Reindeer are, the ones with the larger antlers would be female and the smaller antlered ones male(male reindeer lose their antlers at this time of year while the ladies keep them)

I pm'd the artist about this;

WELP seems like you got them all right on your own >v<b the only complication was Dasher and Prancer. I didn't designed them to look like one of those specific deers, as I didn't knew how to incorporate their names into the design. So people are free to decide which of those two are Dasher and who is Prancer :3

So i'm leaving Dasher and Prancer the way they are now in the guide c: I can always make an adjustment if the majority of CS refers to them the other way around.

Donner means thunder, so logically would depict a storm. Unless I remember incorrectly, this is the Donner cat:

Which looks a lot like the deer labelled Blitzen, hence my confusion.

For Dasher & Prancer, I figured the one with more up/down type markings and darker legs would be Prancer, and the one with more forward movement in the markings would be Dasher, but that's probably just my interpretation of them ^^


For the other reindeer, my suggestions would be Red Snowflake, Light Natural, Dark Natural & Medium Natural? Idk, I don't suppose they are based off of real deer colourations? If so, do they have proper names? I'm not familiar with them.

Everyone's been calling the white deer the albino deer because it has a white coat and red eyes.

That's what I would have suggested labeling it as well. Since it has the characteristics of an albino critter.

My cat is named Blitzen, but none are labeled in the new cat guide...
