- Not entirely sure what I am going to do with this, I just like deer, feathers, and shiny things. It's a WIP because I need to add a few more features and layers, but it isn't coming out the way I wanted it to, so I'm taking a break. Especially as how half of the time I'm sitting here trying to pretend I have pen pressure, and the other half is spent yelling about how I give up on pretending I have pen pressure.
Anyways, I'll probably turn this into a charrie, or like, a species, I don't know. Will develop them more later. If I make it into a charrie, I will likely be making a few more so that I am able to keep mine appeased, to have him socialized. Let me know if you're interested.
Species traits;
-Stocky deer type creature, a bit bigger than the average deer, however, they tend to stand about a foot and a half taller on average.
-Bands grow out from their spines and tail bones (Maybe ankles too) to wrap around their necks and tails. However, it is coated with a metallic/shiny enamel, making it an extremely valuable material. These bands can come in all different shapes and sizes, sometimes locations; however, a smoother band is most common. These bands grow in order to protect extremely sensitive pressure points and skin. The species was nearly wiped out due to this, people hunting them for those metallic bands, until the few that were left were gathered up and put into sanctuaries for protection and breeding purposes.
-Their fur is extremely downy and soft in many areas, growing rapidly and curly much like a sheep if unkept for long periods of time. This is another valuable material from these deer; however, shaving their fur or cutting it will not harm them like removing their bands will. Removing their bands is extremely painful and in most cases, fatal.
- Feathers very commonly sprout from their bodies, be it on their elbows, shoulders, or neck. It is very uncommon to find one without feathers adorning it's body. (Still need to add the feathers, hence the WIP )
-Their tails are long and prehensile, allowing them to move them at will and with their own control. Bands will always be at the base of the fan like feathers to protect the extremely sensitive skin. The stem of the feathers are also luminescent, glowing at night, all other feather stems on the body will also do the same. This is a display and a form of communication between other deer (need to add).
-They're omnivorous, and actually have relatively long canines. (need to add) They prefer meat and prefer to be carniverous, but due to their lack of perfect eyesight, it makes it hard for them to hunt. So they developed an omnivorous lifestyle to survive better.
- May or may not change the ears, however, they are long and pointed, able to swivel in 360 degree fashion, much like an owl. Their eyesight is poor, but their hearing is beyond most other species, able to hear the bleating of another deer from miles away. Their normally very long whiskers are also used to help them feel around their environments, giving them aid where their eyes typically cannot.
-They are extremely social creatures, and will frequently die of loneliness if separated from their heard without companionship. But due to this social nature, they are able to socialize with ANY creatures, including humans, predators, and other prey animals.
