Cervifae

 

Cervifae are deer-like mammals with fairy-esque features such as antennae and wings which allow them to fly! Their hooves are similar to prehistoric earth horses who had three hooved 'toes' with the largest toe in the middle. Their antennae are extremely sensitive and are used to gauge the mood not only of fellow Cervifae but of any animal or kebanzu within range of detection.

Lifespan:
 20-25 years
Height:
 2 metres at the shoulder (Standard) / 1 metre at the shoulder (Miniature)
class:
 Mammal
diet:
 Herbivorous 
Temperament:

Gentle and curious. Cervifae are often well-mannered and enjoy companionship from kebanzus and other Cervifae.
environment:
 Wild Cervifae live in colder climates such as winter tundra or cooler forests but domesticated Cervifae can be owned by kebanzu who live in warmer climates. However, Cervifae cannot comfortably live in arid places such as the Red Divide.

Cervifae subspecies

 

Cervifaes come in standard and miniature.

 

Standard cervifae

Standard Cervifaes are large animals most reminiscent of an earth moose; they are capable of hauling great weight and make excellent mounts for venturing through deep snow thanks to their long legs.
 
Miniature cervifae

Miniature Cervifaes are half the height of a standard Cervifae and most resemble an earth reindeer. These strong little animals work better in teams and are used for pulling carts and sleighs rather than being ridden.

Flight

 

 

Regardless of size, all Cervifae can achieve flight! The anatomy of their wings alone is too dainty to create enough lift to raise a Cervifae into the air but it is the the flapping of a Cervifae's wings that generates a magical energy that can lift them as if they're weightless (this generated energy is visible to the naked eye as twinkling sparkles which makes a Cervifae look distinctly ethereal when in flight). The wings do serve an anatomical purpose in firstly generating the energy with kinetic movement but secondly in steering the Cervifae in flight. Cervifae in flight can mimic a trot, canter or gallop to control the speed they fly at.

colours and markings

Cervifae can present any natural colours such as white, beige, grey, brown and black. Their markings can be solid, have high-contrast fades, spotting or piebald. Cervifae never have stripes. Their wings and antennae can be any colour including non-natural, saturated pigments.
