Many people may ask how these peciluar creatures have gotten this way. Interestingly enough, they eat poisonous flowers called 'crystal flowers'. They safely defuse the crystal’s chemicals by depositing it into their skin. This causes the many large crystal’s on their fur. However if one was to remove them, the crystals are all but worthless. Not only does it make them beautiful it helps them. It helps to make their natural predators back off, because of the solid crystals that can cause teeth to easily chip, or the overly salty taste will overload the senses of the animals trying to eat upon these creatures. Not only that but it also causes the horns to be very hard. These horns are covered in crystal, so they are extremely hard, however it is mainly used to fight for dominance in their herds. These deers are the size of a moose being 6’8 feet at the shoulder. Their weight is about 760 for a female, and 1020lbs for a male.
 
 
Now these creatures also are semi repulsed by other races, the smell of them is quite different from the almost nature scent. A human would smell more of war, a dwarf of stone, an orc of blood and sand, but halfling and elves to them they naturally smell like plants, trees, fields. This is a scent that animals can pick up, and its why humans, and other races though if you get one light enough, the Wyrssa would most likely reject. The reason being light enough, these creatures can easily break under the weight of dwarves, orcs, and humans. This cause means only elves and halflings can ride them, because of halflings weight they are extremely small and elves brittle bones making them light.
 
 
==Creation/Origin==
 
These deer ate Crystal Flowers. They safely defuse the crystal’s chemicals by depositing it into their skin. This caused the many large crystal’s on their fur.
 
 
==Behavior==
 
It eats really anything it can get, being a scavenger they find life easy when bonded to someone else, due to being fed daily that way. While breeders may want these creatures as fancy steeds, they only have one through two babies. Not only that but their behavior causes these creatures to breed every two years.
 
 
The Wyrssa naturally do  a pack system when they aren’t domesticated. Being extremely playful at a young age it takes several of them to take care of a baby. The leader is always the largest, and the ones of its pack will obey it, of course unless a larger one comes around and wins.
 
  
They are also extremely loyal, if one is domesticated by you, they will obey you similar to as if you where the alpha. These deer normally act docile and playful, they are quite often seen loping around the fields, and walking up to socialize with those around. They are rather skittish when people make extremely loud noises, back stepping and sometimes running. To avoid this you must have their full trust by feeding them and playing with them. Of course don’t forget that they eat meat. They do have teeth similar to ours, and that can make it rather painful to be bitten if you were to attack one.
