Elmwood Stag

Summary
The Elmwood Stag, or 'Waldrek' in the Glade Elven tongue is a species closely related to the deer, it is rumored to be derived from regular deer that have wandered into the forest and have been touched by the spirit of Eostre to give them properties a normal deer would not have. The Waldrek inhabit the Glade Elven forests of Rathnir, and is found forming close relations with the Glade Elves of Elmwood, they can also be found grazing the savannah of the Emirate of Najer. They have a strong attunement to magical properties and can be seen blasting a beam of energy out of their antlers, they are generally a passive species however and when being chased will more than often run. In the savannah near the forest of Elmwood, wolves can be seen trampled into the soil, they're extremely heavy creatures and even if a little of the Waldrek's weight being inflicted can crush the bone. Other weapons a Waldrek possesses are it's antlers which span longer and further than a regular deer and are incredibly sharp, when their children are threatened, a Waldrek will charge it's opponent before lowering their head and piercing the opponent with their antlers. They are strangely not pack creatures like their deer cousins, they only are seen travelling with other Waldrek's when they are family, such as a mother, father, son or daughter. While very difficult and only possible through a Glade Elf with vast knowledge, experience, and bravery, Waldreks are tamable, they are not used for meat or other animal products however, the structure of their bones, as well as the plants intertwined with their flesh make them extremely inefficient as a food source, you would get more meat out of a cow than a Waldrek. They are used as mounts of war, with their ferocity and their weapons they strike fear into the opponent who dare stand firm as one charges, they are also used as hay is not required to feed them, they simply eat grass which makes them really good for a war caravan - only stopping every now and again to feed, though it is rumored they also get energy from the sun.

Appearance
Waldreks are massive, without their antlers the average Waldrek female stands at about 10 feet tall, while a male stands about 12 feet tall. They show a connection to the plants around them, and so they can be differed from regular deer by looking at the plants adorning their body parts, this can sometimes be long grass instead of fur wrapping their neck, leaves decorating their antlers, there does not seem to be a common ancestral pattern, it is more like the pattern of a cat. Their fur can be found with different colours, and sometimes different combinations of colours, white, black, green, brown, beige, chestnut, sometimes even a deep red. They are strong creatures, with their legs being really muscular they are able to jump high, and run fast. Despite the extreme size, strange colour fur, and plants, they are quite similar to regular deer.
