Ramdo

Ramdo
Mammal, ruminant

Originally from Celestial Valley. Now there is a limited population on Demon World and Forbidden World.

A large deer-like creature standing about 6 to 7 feet tall. Their bodies are lithe like a deer but they have wide hooves like that of a camel.Like reindeer, both males and females have antlers. The antlers are wide and webbed, in a fan-like shape.Their hide color vary widely in color, including hues that are more common in flowers or fish. Bright colors meant to warn or camouflage. Patterns are rare, but not impossible. When they do present spots are most common.

Males are distinguished by their larger size and thicker necks covered in long fluffy fur.

They are exceptionally quick, partially because they float above ground rather than walk on it, Despite being considered an animal by many people, they are quite sentient. They are able to speak telepathically, but often choose not to. Some ramdo are rumored to have other powers, but as they are rather private creatures none have yet been confirmed.

They gather in groups called herds. They are organized by a single male as the protector of the herd. He has an organization of younger males that divide the labor of keeping order and peace.

They can be used as companions, or even ridden. To do this you must make a pact with the Ramdo in question. What they will ask for is dependent on the particular Ramdo, but in general they are hard to convince. They also would rather die than be in a servitude that was not completely consensual. The whole herd will rise up in any Ramdo's defense if there is a conflict.

Currently, their numbers are severely diminished by the spread of cities on Demon world, and the spread of spiders on Forbidden World.
