Reinhorse
A hybrid of Reindeer + horse
The Reinhorse combines the sturdy physique of a horse with the distinctive antlers and fur coat of a reindeer, resulting in a majestic creature that stands about 5.5 feet at the shoulder. Its powerful legs and broad hooves are adapted for traversing snowy terrains, while its sleek, muscular body is covered in a dense, insulating coat that ranges from a deep chestnut to a snowy white. The antlers, which can grow up to three feet wide, are shed and regrown each year, aiding in foraging during harsh winters.
