Antelope-kin Cervtyr

Good natured and skittish, Antelope-kin are more graceful and nimble then their kin and inhabit the grasslands and savannas of the world. They have long, slender legs that end in hooves, and their bodies are covered in short, sleek fur that ranges in color from sandy brown to deep russet.
Despite their natural grace and agility, Antelope-kin are not without their weaknesses. They are sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements, and can become easily startled or frightened. They also have a strong aversion to enclosed spaces, preferring the open expanse of the grasslands where they feel most at home.
