Thoren Steeds


This unit of species more closely resembles the horse but shares traits with its cousin the moose. They live deep in the forest where they feed on leaves, grass and berries. Their average life span is 50-60 years with foals maturing at 8 years old.

They travel in herds led by two males as they graze over large areas and are not agile enough to be guarded by a single stallion. The two males are usually siblings and will shed their horns at different times to ensure the herd is protected. They will both breed with the mare, and mares will usually have twins. Although they are not agile they are exceptionally strong and can deliver bone snapping kicks. Stallions will chew each others tails to keep them short to prevent them being used against them when defending the herd.
Foals are born spritely and fast but as they grow and mature they slow.

Hunted to near extinction due to the damage they cause, only a few herds are known in the wild. They are very hard to tame, but once tamed the options are limitless at what they can do.


These gaints are limitless in there color and markings. some colors may be harder to come by then others but they are not limited. the mailes tend to have a little more hair on their chest then the females.

species guide lines

genral traits and living in the wild
they are stand 14-17 hands at the shoulder when fully grown. males tend to be taller then mares.
stallions have 3 main horn types but there can be mutaions
males will use there horns to challange each other for mares and teratory. they will also use them to push tree and bushes out of the way.
mares will normal have two foals. the foals will stay by the mother side for at lest the first 8 months of their life. the colts will start getting there horn nubs at a year old. the first 6 month of the horns coming threw makes there head tender and itchy.

mares tend to be more stand offish and mean when they have foals. when they do not have one they are kinder and more willing to be curiouse and check things and people out.

stallions will let out long bellows to let other stallions know were there teratory is.

their diet consist of leaves tree branches grass hay and cat tails. they also love lake weeds. they will also eat oats and grain in captivity.

as a foal not all there color or marking may show threw till they are an adult

in captivity
good luck taming these big creatures. it takes a lot of will power and pacents. these are not an animal you really want to use force and shout at. it will work them up and make them agreessive.

once they are tames they will protect there owner as if they were one of there herd. they are very loyal animals.

there antlers are harvested and used in many different ways and sell for high money since they are hard to come by.

owners like to have little contest to see if they can get there thrones tail the longest since they do not really need to chew them off in captivity.

there are still poachers that believe the thrones should not be saved and persevered. they just see them as super destructive and as a pay check since the antler sell for so much and there pelts even more.
