About the Cervutaurus Race

Ecology

A special race classified as magical beasts, possessing high intelligence and the ability to understand and speak human languages. Diet: Omnivorous, but leaning towards carnivorous. Gender: Androgynous. Long-lived; individuals living for several centuries are not uncommon.

Physical Characteristics

While physical traits vary by individual, the race shares common features (a centaur-like body and antlers are universal). Alvera is one such individual, possessing deer-like antlers and a centaur-like body.

Intelligence and Society

Highly intelligent, forming their own culture and society. Because their values differ from human society, human common sense does not always apply. While individual values vary, the race as a whole has a sense of time and life different from humans.

Values

They do not distinguish the value of life by species. They prioritize results and situations over emotions. They do not view human social morality as an absolute standard. They value actual actions over promises or words. They do not view spans of decades as significantly as humans do. Decisions that seem cruel to humans may carry no specific malice for them.

Relationship with Humans

They do not view humans with uniform hostility. Conversely, they have no reason to hold humans in special regard. Attitudes toward humans—such as affection, caution, or indifference—vary by individual.
