Ceresian Elk

Biography
Ceresian Elk (Cervus Ceresian) are the signature carved beasts of House Valencia. These massive beasts can live to be around 15 years old, reaching their maturity at around 5 years old. Much like their distant relatives, the Elks of Earth, there share relatively the same diets and behaviors. The Ceresian Elk, however, is much more domesticated and due to its massive size, can hold Gold riders with ease.

Appearance
The male Ceresian Elk can get as tall as 21 hands (Compared to Sunbloods reaching 23 hands)

The Females can be as tall as 18 hands.

Both male and female Ceresian Elk sport racks of massive antlers, that they keep year around and begin to grow them around a year old. The antlers take around 6 years to reach their full potential, giving the Elk ample time to grow their neck and other muscles needed to support their massive racks.

Abilities and Skills
-Riding, much like common horses, though the Elk are more common to be seen in harsher riding environments most horses could not get through. (deep snow, blizzards, etc)

- Beauty shows/competition

-Battle. These Elk can be suited up with armor and with their sharp antlers, make formidable foes on the battle feild.

Mentions/Quotes
