Athuma

 are Herbivores introduced in ???.

Physiology
are slender, elegant creatures. They have long heads reminiscent of equines while possessing long, feathered legs, which allow them to run at surprising speed for quite some time. Their cloven hooves make it easy for these creatures to traverse all sorts of terrain from dense mud to even the steepest rocks.

Their front half is covered in medium-length, maroon fur, while their back half has such short hairs that it almost looks completely hairless. also have dark markings around eyes, on neck and chest, as well as similarly dark mane and tail.

Behavior
are known for their preference to flee rather than fight, making them similar in nature to the Anteka or Kelbi of the continent. They live in small groups of up to five individuals, usually grazing or resting. Should a hunter come too close to suddenly, or ambush these creatures in any way, they can defend themselves, albeit only for a short time before rearing and dashing off into the distance.

Abilities
do not possess any elemental abilities, usually rearing, kicking and biting to hold their ground against an opponent. Should this fail, they will flee with a loud screech.

Ecological Niche
Rather small, graceful herbivore, is somewhat easy prey for about everything that is larger than itself. They are usually preyed upon by most predators found in the areas they inhabit.

Biological Adaptations
have reddish brown fur, with dark manes, feathered legs and rather short tails. They sport dark markings around their eyes, which are theorized to serve as protection against bright lights.

Behavior
mind their own business, digging up food or dozing. Should they spot a hunter, they will rear, screech loudly and flee at breakneck speed.

However, should a be ambushed, their first reaction is to fight the opponent, however, not with the intention of killing them, but merely to distract them so the herbivore can flee in time.
