Drawing Deer Species 38/50

Taruca

This South American deer has only two tines on it's antlers even fully grown, and it's location in the Andes Mountains combined with it's large fluffy body make it look similar to an alpine-enjoying antelope.

Males tend to have a distinctive black mask of pigment with a V-shape mark going down it's snout. Males also have sharp canine teeth.

Taruca enjoy high altitudes and the patchy grasses and shrubs that grow there. When they do descend from the mountains they may intermingle with the whitetail deer of Peru, but they rarely ever go lower then 4,000ft elevation.

These deer like to socialize with others but don't stick in specific herds, changing between groups as they please. These groups are not separated by sex, unlike several other deer species.

In the very beginning stages of reworking the stuff I made for/care about from Kingdom Hearts into my own thing, starting with our protags, Eve and Owen. Eve is a Taruca deer, Owen is a Maine Coon. The setting is low tech/high fantasy type deal, little bit of western in the mix

Unnecessary otherkin sideblog, main is sirenium (link)

basics: I support contradictory labels, endo systems, etc. I am queer and neurodivergent. Before you come after me for my username, I am intersex and reclaim the h-slur. More on my identity outside of alterhumanity is in my main's pinned post.

Why did I make this blog? So I can have a blog for purely otherkin related content. I may still use the other one for this stuff as well. Now with that out of the way, it's time for the comically long explanation of my alterhuman identity, featuring every single creature that I have been connected to at one point or another.

I am a polymorph, which causes my kintype list to look like this as a lot of these are forms: Borzoi, Border collie, Blue brindle pit bull, Coyote, Coastal wolf, Doberman, Dhole, German shepherd, Ibizan hound, Maned wolf, Norwegian elkhound, Silken windhound, Werewolf, Asian golden cat, Bombay cat, Bengal tiger, Black footed cat, Cougar, Cheetah, Oriental shorthair, Ocelot, Serval, Sphinx, Basking shark, Bull shark, Black-tipped reef shark, Greenland shark, Lemon shark, Leopard shark, Whale shark, Chital deer, Caribou deer, Sika deer, Taruca deer, Thorold's deer, White tail deer, Alternate (Mandela Catalogue), Bearded vulture, Black bear, Bracken (Lethal Company),Coconut octopus, Golden-capped fruit bat, Genet, Giant isopod, Incubus, Irken (Invader Zim), Kitty (Backrooms), Lynel (Legend of Zelda), Leafeon (Pokemon), Loot bug (Lethal Company), Naegleria Fowleri (commonly: brain eating amoeba), Orca, Opossum, Rook, Raccoon, Sylveon (Pokemon), Striped hyena, Spotted hyena, Vampire, Vulture bee, and Zonai (Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom).

again, a lot of these are simply forms I have taken, though others stick with me more than a face I will occasionally wear. For example, when I say I'm canine therian my mind always goes to being a doberman and a german shepherd, occasionally a coyote or a maned wolf. That does not mean I do not see myself in the others, it only means that those seem to be the most prevalent.

I am a polymorphic god specifically, meaning my polymorphism and godhood are linked. In fact, I am a god of polymorphism. As for being a vampire, my vampirism feels physical and as though it has very much carried over into this body. These things are part of my base identity as nonhuman, and so is being canine therian. As you can probably guess, my alterhumanity is highly complicated and often confusing, as I'll feel like, say, a bearded vulture one moment and a cheetah the next. It can feel unstable and chaotic. I don't have the luxury of a more stable and simple nonhuman identity, nor do I really want to. Because in finding this chaos, I have found myself.

yeah. anyways no DNI but I block literal bigots and assholes here for the sole purpose of being assholes at light speed.
