Irdegarde/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* females have larger antlers than males.
** Groups are more commonly ruled by the female with the largest set.
* aren’t known to live long and thus have a reputation of being mythical creatures.
* Among others of their kind, both female and males can be very competitive, such as fighting for new territory, mates, etc. 
** It's actually pretty common for them to mistake each other for the opposite gender (both males and females fight competitively but females are the dominant gender).
== Appearance ==
The is a quadrupedal hare-like creature with a broad snout and ornate, pointed antlers. Its face is short and has a pair of rabbit-like ears. Tufts of fur can be found lining/sprouting from many parts of the 's body, such as the insides of its ears, its chest, its shoulders, and its rump. Most of the creature is covered in armor thats design is reminiscent of medieval royalty. It has a mid-sized tail that ends in some fluff and a pointed tip, similar to the pointed tips found on the antlers.
=== Males ===
Males have a tuft of fur on their chin and less intricate horns.
=== Females ===
Females have additional growths on their horns.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is meant to be a long-distance runner, capable of being constantly running, looking for food, and still outrun most predators trying to chase it. Its Escape Area ability helps considerably in this in case a predator manages to ambush them. Its high HP for its tier (to the point a few creature from a tier higher have less HP than the ) also allow it to take some hits, and its higher-than-average damage allow it to fare relatively well against most lower tier creatures, even most creatures of its tier and some tier 3 creatures, thanks to having a massive weight for a tier 2. Additionally, being capable of eating-in-the-run allows this creature to just grab a piece of fruit and keep running while eating, thus ensuring they are not vulnerable to predators just waiting to ambush them when they get stuck eating.
=== Cons === 
Damage output is still low enough to allow any tier 1 to inflict defensive status effects, such as guilt, necro poison, poison and reflective bleed; and this, combined with its weight still being relatively low in the total weight list, makes unadvisable to fight most higher tiers. Plus this creature not having the best bleed defense makes it difficult to heal medium bleed, so if a very fast, medium-level bleeder (or some creature with Serrated Teeth) manages to bite you, you'll either risk needing to face them face-to-face, not necessarily with the best outcome, or running endlessly until you may die of blood loss.
Additionally, due to its cyan blood, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a cyan carcass.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by TyrantDinosaur889 on the Creatures of Sonaria discord.
** Based off of "jackalopes with a medieval twist". When you think medieval, you think of like royalty and kings/queens with really fancy wear or maybe knights and stuff so I tried to pull off a regal look." (Quoted by concept creator TyrantDinosaur889).
* Animated by BlckBrryJam.
* The theme for was Medieval, with a bit of Ancient History.
** It was also in the Ancient History Limited Gacha along with Athulyth.
* Has glowing deep cobalt blood, and is the first creature to have it.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a deep cobalt blue carcass.
** This is an actual color in some Earth creatures, from those that use hemocyanin, a blue oxygen carrier that replaces hemoglobin in some invertebrate's blood.
* The is the second creature to have the Area Escape ability, the first being Aereis.
* The is commonly nicknamed "Bunny".
* The can stay idle, sleep and cower in lava without getting hurt, as seen here.
