For Contest


Size/Appearance: Between Whitetail deer size and Moose, Depending on age. Short backs, most of height is in the legs. Long wirey muted fur, Coming in browns and greys,Black has only been recorded once and many speculates this is a myth ,under belly always a lighter color, Often starting to grow moss or have a green tinge,Those that live in grasslands may have flowers growing on them, Males have antlers while females do not. Both genders have long canines and crocodile like teeth and elongated mouth, reptile like tounge.They have amazing sense of hearing and their ears are much like a rabbits with tufts of fur on the tops of males ears, Eyes are often glowing and can come in any shade.

Terrain/area: Damp, Swampy areas,Rain forest,Lush Grasslands and heavily forested areas.

Weaknesses: Winter, Uneven rocky terrain (Mountians), Overly Dry climate.

Strengths: Brute force, Antlers,Agression,Speed,size,amazing balance, rotten bite. 

Observations:
 Travels alone or in groups of 4.
 Much like the komodo dragon their bite is Toxic due to rotten flesh in their mouth. Saliva glows the same.color as their eyes at night.  
 As the animals age, bacteria in their mouth causes their face to rot away, this in no way affects their ability  to function, Only making them more agressive
 Diet consists of water plants and rotten carcasses,They have been observed  to stash their fresh kills in hollowed trees or up on branches until rotten.
 The Antlers and pelt (if cured correctly) are worth a pretty penny, and their meat is typically only used for Dragon bait as its bitter and sour in taste.
 Highly Agressive and Dangerous Creatures.
