How do they get this way? They eat the 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.
 
  
−
Do the crystals help them at all? Yes, for their natural predators it makes them 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.

Why do they like Atgaard? They stay there because its near a plant that helps them digest meat, and also gives them the large sodium boost they need. They can live without it, but they only can eat plants if they don’t get that. Which makes it hard for them to eat in the winter.

If you run across a Wyrssa you'd notice they're pack animals, quite often with one or two, once every two weeks or so they can produce 2-3 babies however these have a life span of about 20–40 years.  They're the more hearty versions of the Athera breed, allowing humans, halflings, elves, gobo's and even Kha to ride them!  However due to their size, being around 6'8 at the max, though with spindly legs orc's are still unable to mount these unless they're extremely small or underfed. These creatures are friendly yes, but they are omnivores allowing them to eat anything, especially when time is tough. These creatures, though to have perished in Athera where brought over on the boats, and slowly bred back up, before being released into the world.  Now they wander in forests and on ocean sides calmly.

Are they aggressive? Not towards people, but towards other animals they can be when provoked. They are generally passive and loving, preferring to curl up against their riders and loving on them. Will they attack someone, they will run if attacked, they prefer being non confrontational. So No.

They're extremely skittish, being easily frightened however they are able to be lured in and with time tamed, usually it's best to get one from a breeder, or a young one from the wild to tame, however it has been said that even the eldest Wyrssa can be tamed with time.

How hard are their horns? The horns are actually covered in crystal, so they are extremely hard, however it is mainly used to fight for dominance in their herds.

Why can only elves ride them? They have semi weak bones, dwarves, human, orcs, and Kha are all to heavy for them.

What if the elf is in armor, and its not light weight? Then it makes it extremely hard for the Wyrssa and their bones MAY snap. They are meant for speed and being light weight.

What does it eat? 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.

How many babies does it have? 1-2.

How often do they breed? Once every two years, so two elven weeks.

How would you represent it in MC? A grey horse, or a white horse if someone requires the beast to be there.

−
Can you ride it? Yes, its big enough to have a saddle.

−
What happens if it doesn’t have access to these flowers? Well if its already eaten from it, it keeps its crystalline chunks and horn, if not then it just has a regular deer horn, and no crystals on is body, making it just pretty much a plain deer, with a tail similar to that of an arabian and cloven hooves. So I guess you could mistaken it for a strange antlered unicorn.

−
What types of group do they live in? The Wyrssa are in 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.

−
Are they loyal? EXTREMELY, being pack creatures, if one is domesticated by you, they will obey you similar to as if you where the alpha.
 
−
What is their behavior like? 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, backstepping sometimes running. To avoid this you must have the full trust. Of course don’t forget to eat meat they do have teeth similar to ours, and that can make it rather painful to be bitten if you do attack one.

−
Ok, so I’m an orc and I want one as a pet, can I? Sure, just don’t ride it, you WILL kill it if you do.
 
−
Why won't they accept other's? 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.
