An adult heligre can be a fearsome sight when a magi comes upon one unexpectedly. Their antlers and the flames around their legs aren't just for decoration; when angry or threatened, heligre will use both - and their wicked claws - to attack and defend. They tend to be curious and will always take notice of anything new in their environment, but they hate water for obvious reasons. Most adult heligre will form prides but not large ones; too many heligre in one place bring the temperature up and don’t leave enough room for elaborate dances.
Though heligre are enormous beasts, easily capable of carrying a person, they're remarkably delicate and graceful in their movements. Heligre are also known as firedancers due to the living flames that wreathe their feet, and their propensity for ritualized dancing. These dances are performed for many reasons: mating rituals, to show respect to older or more powerful heligre, after the death of a loved one, or even just for the joy of dancing. However, as beautiful as they are - and as affectionate as they can be - magi should always remember that heligre are large predators, protective of family and territory.
