Deerataurs are a rare species of centaurs found mostly in the misty glade and other magic rich zones. They are essentially centaurs with huge leafy antlers and greenish skin. They are very close to nature and plants, though unlike dryads they don't have any sort of control over them. Deerataurs do possess, however, a strong weather-based magic that can be used to make rain fall, which makes them very appreciated by plants in general. They also possess the ability to use the ambient magic radiating from the soil to accelerate tenfolds the growth of plants there. A single Deerataur could plant a whole forest in a matter of weeks if the area is magic-rich enough. Deerataurs usually get along very well with dryads and are often linked to them. Deerataurs are slightly less voracious than centaurs, as they have a sort of photosynthesis which reduces their need to feed in the normal sense of the word. However, just because they need to eat less doesn't make them any safer to be around ! Deerataurs are definitely hostile to humans and will gulp one down whenever given the chance. Their special stomach can drain magic, and their digestion is magically enhanced, making the process a lot faster and less disabling for them than it is for normal centaurs.
