Tujuuk

The Tujuuk was considered to once be a species of deer. It was thought to inhabit parts of the Green with a migratory path roughly of about a thousand square miles. Tall at the shoulders and even taller with its horns it supposedly stood well above most beings at the time. It’s fur was fabled to be of a silver color and it’s cloven hooves were it’s primary means of defending itself as the it’s antlers were apparently too brittle. Its most distinctive feature that has become the symbol of  most important houses is that of its 6 facial glands that were used for a variety of things. The animal was the epitome of silent grace and thus was the example that many noble houses aspired to. Today it can be seen as elements in the symbols of various organizations around the Magtar. It is especially noticeable in the Upoben as a symbols of clerical and religious status, painted on banners, incorporated into larger designs, and worn on robes and other acutremant. It is perhaps the only non plant species that has remained a symbol of culture despite its extinction and its existing millennia ago according to the histories. There have been no sightings over the centuries and it is probable that there will be none. Scientists in the first couple centuries of the confinement attempted to clone one using dna samples found from ancient bones. The attempts were unsuccessful. We are left to only speculate and wonder at the illustrations of this long gone species and imagine how it could have become the symbol of so many aspiring nobles. All zoologists dream of finding a live one one day, but that will have to remain simply a fantasy as we remain confined in our walled, fauna-less city.
