Description
Here are the species that you will be able to adopt C: The left one is a forager and the right is clearly a predator. I'll post the rules in a journal along with when I'll be posting the adoptables, so look for it! C: So, here's the information on both species. At first, you'll only be able to adopt one from either species. The colors I chose above are just to demonstrate the permanent markings of each species. Each adoptable will have their own unique markings and colors layered on top.

-Defenders-
Age: 90-110 years

Climate: Cold, wet, cloudy

Habitat: Live in northern Mountains (foggy and wet all year round) temperature is usually a stagnant chill, never getting too cold for foliage but never too hot from lack of sunshine. They usually are found in ancient forests and are seen lurking in abandoned ruins.

Diet: Foliage, they can digest moss and other fungi and lichen

Appearance: Antlers are lightly furred all year round. Their antlers never stop growing, nor do they shed them. The fur hanging from the antlers stops growing at 20 yr. of age. Males are generally brighter colors than females, but there are exceptions. Markings shown above are usually always like this in the base and then flourishes in markings are unique to the animal. Spine is extremely flexible for easy maneuverability. If an antler breaks, it cannnot grow back. Both males and females have antlers

Temperament:Claws on feet are to help grip on slippery surfaces when running or climbing. The scales on their feet help to protect during running. The fluff on their neck (bottom and top) steadily gets longer as they age, reaching it's full height/length at 10 yrs. Both males and females have antlers

-Protectors-
Age: 60-80 yrs.

Climate: Cold, wet, cloudy

Habitat: Live in northern Mountains (foggy and wet all year round) temperature is usually a stagnant chill, never getting too cold for foliage but never too hot from lack of sunshine. They usually are found in ancient forests and are seen lurking in abandoned ruins.
Diet:Meat and the occasional fiber to help digestion

Appearance:Their front teeth are a part of their skull, but if they break off they will grow back indefinitely. They have teeth under the skull inside their mouth, but these teeth are much smaller. These teeth will be replaced as they grow older as well. Their entire head is covered in protective bone. The marks crossing over their eyes are not scars but rather creases where the bone is weak and becomes cartilage to allow better cushioning from attacks to protect their eyes. No marking variations between males or females.

Temperament:They have a thick scruff to protect from powerful bites from struggles within the species. Males fight for territory while females wander searching for a mate. While hunting they can run across the sides of trees to gain an advantage over their prey since they are not as quick as their prey nor can they jump as high due to their weight.
Because they are so heavy, swimming is a challenge and they prefer to avoid it at all costs, not chasing prey into lakes or across large streams. Their back mane is semi waterproof, though researchers can't imagine why. Their tail is thick muscle and can be used not only for balance but to curl around branches when climbing. They do not sweat, but rather pant, much like a dog.
