Welcome to Deus Capra Adopts! This species is owned by both myself and IceFire. And we are both very glad you are here!
There has been a slight change! There are now both gazelles with dreamcatchers, and a slightly more uncommon ram with beads and strings!
What are they?:
Elemental Gazelles that were thought to be mere legends from the native americans. They spoke of agile creatures like the horses but smaller like a dog and more lithe. They spoke of them walking on clouds and carried with them dream catchers as if the Deus Capra were guarding people from something. Everyone didn't realize when they did their ceremonial dances that instead of gods answering their prayers they had the Deus Capras to answer them and give them the rains or the crops that helped to feed their peoples. The one thing they did not answer for was the death of others as they are a peace loving species even if some were grumpier then others. The humans soon realized that their eyes and clouds matched what they did like for instance one with blue eyes and clouds would be either rain or ice. Purple would be wind and cures for poison, while those with green eyes held the grasses and trees to their sway. Eyes of brown the rocks and dirt and if one saw one with yellow eyes they normally soon saw gems of value or lighting chased from the sky. The rarer colors would be red like the blood or lava, black for the night and shadows and whitefor that of light and animals. They were always seen with some white in some form of one or another though full white or appys were very rare to see. Cremellos and other light coats could still be found though and full on black with no white was considered to be a legend and cause for fear as the natives thought this ment the coming of evil. As a form of commuication they use snorts and wickers like horses but otherwise they sound like goats. They range from 5 to 6 hands high or hh much like a horse but much smaller. The largest recorded being 8 hh and the lowest being recorded at 3.3 hhs. Their offspring are called kids for a lack of better terms everyone agreed it just sounded right for them. They recieved their names the Deus Capra by the new settlers when they arrived. They also use their tails and ears as a form of a second kind of communication between each other only using sounds to alert or question something
