Transferring the ownership of these to IdolDream, they now own the species and will decide what they will do with them.

┌───────────────────────☆─────────────────────────┐
..Ignis Cervus, be they magical or be they a work of magnificent science, are a breed
...of deer to behold. Omnivorous creatures with eyes as poor as the best of them, there
...is little known about them, though their numbers are devastatingly dwindling. Hunted
for their precious bands and silky fur, or merely for a prize catch, they have nearly
........been hunted into extermination. Though, hunters are not their only problems in life. they
are a species in the process of a strangely rapid evolution, they are susceptible to
..........mutations and fatal malformations. Scientists are failing to discover more and to preserve
....their species in the wild, having transferred a large number of their dangerously low
.......population to a sanctuary in hopes that they may thrive in safety and so that more could
...be discovered about them. They would also hope to adopt out the rather docile and
....affectionate creatures, if they are healthy and their numbers have returned to a safe
.....number. Perhaps you would be so kind as to take in one of these beautiful creatures,
......so that we may discover more about them and help their numbers grow?
......them and help their numbers grow?

┌─────────────☆Facts☆───────────────┐
....☆ Their scientific name is Ignis Cervus, but were however
.... more affectionately named "Downys" by a scientists daughter.
....☆ A stocky deer breed, bigger than the average deer,
.... they tend to stand about a foot and a half taller than the
.... average elk.
....☆ Their calls are closely similar to the bellow of an elk and
.... the bleating of a sheep.
....☆ The bands that grow typically from their spines and tail bones
.... are to protect extremely sensitive nerve endings that are
.... otherwise fatal to remove or damage.
....☆ The bands are covered in a highly valuable metallic enamel.
....☆ Their fur is extremely soft and downy in some areas, growing
.... rapidly and curly much like a sheep if unkept.
....☆ Their feather stems all contain bio luminescent properties.
....☆ Their tails and prehensile, allowing them to move them at will
.... and to mimic things such as fire when they feel threatened.
....☆ They are omnivorous creatures, their preference is meat.
....☆ Their eyesight is extremely poor, making it hard to hunt for
.... their favorite treats and food.
....☆ Their hooves are wider to compensate for their lack of
.... eyesight, allowing them to balance themselves easier.
....☆ Their ears are extremely sensitive and are able to swivel in
.... a 180 degree fashion, able to hear the bleating of another
.... Downy almost 2 miles away.
....☆ Long whiskers that sprout from their cheeks are used to
.... help them gain a greater sense of their environment.
....☆ They are extremely social creatures, and will frequently die
.... if separated from their herd without any source of
.... Companionship. But given this, they are able to bond with
.... almost any friendly and affectionate creature. Be it predator,
.... prey, or even humans.
....☆ Given their mating habits and bird like show of dominance
.... and act of "wooing", the breed's need for antlers has died out,
.... though a few can still be found with them.
....☆ Through studying Downys, scientists were able to discover
.... that the animals were extremely intelligent, perhaps rivaling
.... primates and Dolphins.
....☆ Downys have the ability for extreme mimicry, much like larger
.... parrot species, their vocabularies can grow to immense sizes.
└────────────────☆─────────────────┘

┌─────────────☆Mates☆───────────────┐
....☆ Downys very often mate for life, though, are able to find a
.... new mate semi-easily upon the death of the old one.
....☆ In order to attract a mate, Downys put on a colorful display
.... with their feathers and intricate dances.
....☆ A Downy may breed up to two times in their lifespan, any more
.... would be far too difficult on them.
....☆ A Downy will never breed with a sibling, mother or father.
....☆ Downys must wait at least a month to breed again after their
.... fawns have been born.
....☆ A Downy can produce up to two or three fawns per breeding.
....☆ When given a new owner, a Downy will be hesitant to breed
.... under such new conditions. Therefore an owner must wait at
.... least a week before breeding their new Downy.
└────────────────☆─────────────────┘

┌─────────────☆Diets☆───────────────┐
....☆ Downys are an omnivorous species, but prefer to eat meat
.... when given the chance.
....☆ Their favorite foods include mice, rats, squirrels, quails,
.... rabbits, fish and especially chicken.
....☆ Given a Downys intelligence, they will will never eat poisonous
.... plants or fungi, and are often able to find plants and herbs to aid
.... themselves of ailments or stomach issues.
└────────────────☆─────────────────┘

┌────────────☆Social Habits☆──────────────┐
....☆ Downys are relatively friendly and docile creatures, it is rare
.... to see a fight break out between Downys, as they typically mate
.... for life and therefore have no major need to fight. However, some
.... fights can break out over food, especially when it comes to meat.
....☆ Downys do have an alpha male and female within the herd, but
.... this pecking order is often chosen not through fighting, but through
.... a brilliant display of their feathers and luminescence.
....☆ They generally travel in herds as little as seven and have been
.... seen in herds as large as forty three.
....☆ Downys are very family orientated and will almost always stick
.... close to their mothers/fathers or siblings within the herd.
....☆ Downys love to sing, often harmonizing with each other generally
.... at night. Other herds will often join in on the singing as well.
....☆ Despite Downys soft natures, they are slightly territorial, if they
.... feel an unwelcomed herd of Downys are intruding, they will attempt
.... to either bring them into their own herd, or chase them out.

Thank you all for marking the thread already! It means quite a lot to me.

I have just gotten the Artist Competition up if any of you are interested and I have also updated some of the Downies information! Feel free to take a look and/or ask any questions that are nagging at you.
