Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Ceras
Birthday: Saturday, October 24, 2015
Owner: Zzela
Element: Neutral 
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.
Wild and nocturnal, ceras are fiercely independent, only occasionally forming flocks. These sheep native to the Alasre mountains outsize most common sheep and have thicker, wirier wool; even if they allowed themselves to be sheared, it would be too rough to use. They may grow up to four horns, an unusual trait among sheep. Also unlike other sheep, both ewes and rams are highly aggressive and more than willing to charge a threat. They have relatively little magical ability but are capable of using a few weak offensive spells, usually of wind or fire elemental origin. Bones of ceras sheep are an important ingredient in some rare potions as well; it is said that the skull and horns ground into a fine powder greatly increase one's physical strength. Dark magi find ceras particularly delightful and are more likely to devote all the time necessary to earn one's trust.
