Avukett

The Mad Lands' most common variety of deer is a sleek, fast animal. Like many herbivores here, they compete in a deadly environment through increased fertility, producing 30% more young than comparable Earth species. Primarily tan in color, each generation of avukett has a different, odd marking on its right flank in dark brown hair. Currently the marking on all of the Mad Lands's newborn avukett is a swirly pattern that vaguely suggests a human ear being gnawed on by two 
long rows of flattened teeth. The previous generation's marking looked distinctly like a bowl full of berries. 
Storytellers say that these markings are omens, each with a decipherable meaning.
