Inverted Centaur Elk (NSFW)

== Habitat and Behavior ==
The inverted centaur elk resides in the boreal forests of Argossa. It lives in harems composed of a leading bull and multiple female elk. The bull elk are extremely territorial and will fight any creature that enters their territories. Male calves may stay in the harems with their mothers until they reach maturity. Afterwards, the leading male will kill them mercilessly and feed them to their mothers. Males who reach maturity alive seek out other harems and attempt to kill the leading bull and take control.
Despite their high intelligence, they are not sentient like their distant cousins the inverted centaurs. They are incapable of language, but they can use grunts and gestures for simpler forms of communication.
== Diet ==
The inverted centaur elk enjoy a mostly herbivorous diet of boreal berries and other flora. However, if any unfortunate soul enters a harem's territory, the inverted centaur elk will brutally wound them and eat their internal organs while they are still alive, saving the heart and lungs for last.
Inverted centaur elk near the Argossa's southeast peninsula have a tendency to spit out the blood of their victims while dining. This behavior is unique to this region, as elk elsewhere happily lap up every last drop.
== Predators ==
Although the inverted centaur elk can be a menace to the inexperienced, there are a few species that feast on them. Giant spiders in the center of the continent easily dine on the beasts, as they have crafted techniques to outwit their ferocity. The hollowed humanoids of Noatrupl are also hunters of inverted centaur elk; however, they mainly feast upon the more docile subspecies.
