Glatisant
Basic Information
Anatomy
The Glatisant has the body of both a leopard and a bird like creature, with the horns similar to a ram. It has 4 limbs and is slightly larger than a Vestoni horse.
Genetics and Reproduction
Some believe that they do not reproduce and instead are birthed from the latent fey energies of Vestoni forests.
Growth Rate & Stages
Said to grow very fast when they are first born, in about 9 months
Ecology and Habitats
The Glatisant prefers to live in plains and forests, but is said to be surprisingly adaptable to most environments.
Dietary Needs and Habits
It is a skilled hunter, but is very anxious if having to fight large game, preferring both plants and smaller animals.
Biological Cycle
As time goes on, they tend to get slower, but when they die, they are said to fade out of this world, where it is believed they return to the Wyld Realm they are suspected to hail from.
Additional Information
Domestication
The Vestoni Knights typically like to ride out and find these beasts to tame as mounts. It is seen as a mark of prestige similar to taming a Hippogriff, as they are naturally independent and powerful creatures. Taming one can lead to a knight being seen as a truly worthy warrior, and being mounted upon one is a dangerous force to be reckoned with as the Glatisant is a capable creature when it comes to slashing and tearing its enemies apart.
Facial characteristics
Typically sport a beak similar to a bird, and horns like a ram.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
They typically only naturally live in Vebastonne, as they are believed to be connected to the fey like energies of the land.
Average Intelligence
Surprisingly, the Glatisant is remarkably intelligent, and is prone to playing "tricks and pranks" on any who would try to hunt it. However, strangely it also has a deep respect for Vestoni knights trying to tame the creature, and so these tricks are more like tests to see if the knight is worthy.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
While it cant see as well in the dark as some other creatures, it does have excellent eyesight.
