October Monthly DPs: Ceras & Polyceras

[Zinni]

Evil sheep? interesting. I think the only sheep type of creatures we had before was the Ariessa? I can't wait to see these!

[Xeron]

Might have potential. First doni I've had in months. Was disappointed with the doni's that came out around my b-day...

OHHHH yeah! How could I forget those?

[Xeron]

Muyang were goats though.

Interested in these mostly because of the usually spooky theme given to october donies (Love those darker doni creatures)

I just assumed based on the horns =p

Got two males:


Ceras lambs are solid black for the first few months of their lives, which affords them the perfect camouflage in the night. When not sleeping, they stick close to their mothers; although their aggression is already apparent at this young age, they're still small enough to fall easy prey to eagles and other large predators. They are also quite nimble even among the craggiest regions of the Alasre range and some of their favorite games involve races up steep cliffs.


Polyceras lambs are naive, willingly wandering away from their mothers to investigate most anything. This typically is not a concern for the flock, as these lambs are quite speedy and can outrun many predators. Nevertheless, if something frightens them they will flee back to the protection of the flock, which will form a defensive circle around them. These lambs especially enjoy games of hide-and-seek - annoying to many parents and magi companions alike.

Seems disappointing they're facing the back...

I knew it they ARE EVIL. They are not looking at you. *doesn't trust*

They're giving us the cold shoulder.

Stubborn to the core, ceras sheep are unlikely to do what they're asked; rather, they seem to enjoy doing the opposite. Ceras are rare companions even among magi. It takes daily attention to earn one's trust, something most magi can't devote themselves to, and their appearance unnerves many. In ancient times, though, ceras sheep were quite common, especially among self-proclaimed fortunetellers who claimed to be able to read the fluctuating red patterns in their wool - much like the even older practices of reading oracle bones, cards, or crystal balls. Over time this fell out of favor, and the sheep became scarce as owners released them, having no more reason to keep such an aggressive creature around. Among more superstitious communites the sighting of a ceras sheep is held to mean impending tragedy; is it only mere coincidence that they appear most often before a tragedy, or something more?
