Diet
❚ When spring turns to summer, the two branch "antlers" sprout larger from each of the upper sides of their heads, which can grow up to 2m in length, where flowers will blossom upon them like regular plants. They are neither herbivores or carnivores, for they rely on their branches for food, by using photosynthesis (the cycle of sunlight to glucose to energy).

❚ birth during spring
❚ 3 to 5 fawns

Ages
❚ [Maturity] ~12 years
