Branta

Branta are hardy, ungulate creatures that resemble the giant elk or caribou native to The Earth Realm. Brantas are herbivorous ungulates common to the plains of Avalon, Stillwood Forest, and Greypeak Mountains. 

A branta had a horse-like body but with a longer, thick-muscled neck. Its hooves were surrounded by large folds of skin that spread out its weight for walking atop deep snow and increasing its traction on slippery ice, making its feet appear like clubs in shape. The animal's snout was covered in a massive ridge of bone, which ended in two stubby nose horns. 

Brantas were timid creatures who usually bolted when faced with danger. They use their long necks for browsing for food among the high pine boughs and their nose horns for uprooting plants. They prefer to eat in places where they can scout for danger with their long necks. If cornered, a branta could be dangerous. Rearing and turning with a skid, it could suddenly charge at its attacker, attempting to butt with its horns and fling its attacker into the air after vigorously shaking.

Despite their timid nature, they were oftentimes tamed as racing animals to be bet on in institutions such as the Branta Stadium.
