Lucives are cervine beasts, but they are originated from North America. They are predators that masked themselves beneath the harmless guise of a baby fawn.
Appearance[]
A lucive carries the appearance of a fragile baby deer: small, soft-coated, and wide-eyed, with a posture that seems cutely timid and vulnerable. To an unknowing observer, it looks like a helpless orphan creature in need of protection. Yet this appearance is nothing but a deadly ruse. In truth, lucives are fully grown animals with the appearance of a baby animal, their mouths concealing deer-like jaws lined with sharp, canid-like teeth. These features betray their true nature as carnivores/sanguivores, built not for grazing but for rending and eating baby animals, especially fawn deers of their victims to survive.
Behavior[]
Lucives are cunning ambush predators that thrive on deception. They lure prey by appearing harmless and approachable, waiting until curiosity or pity draws an animal close enough. When the moment arrives, they strike with sudden violence, tearing flesh, eating their prey, and drinking deeply of the blood; which is one of the most dangerous traits, since lucives forever look like innocent orphan baby deer, their appearance itself becomes a kind of ability. Unlike ordinary carnivores, lucives require meat/blood as a primary part of their diet, making them “true vampires” of the forest, but lucives aren’t true vampires at all. However, they are solitary by nature, territorial, and highly aggressive when challenged. Their hunger is unendingly addiction, driving them to hunt often and without mercy, because they are nocturnal predators that inhabit dense forests. Despite their eternal fawn-like appearance, they are cunning and highly adaptive adult fawn. During the day, they often blend among ordinary deer, relying on their innocent appearance and natural camouflage to remain unnoticed. Solitary by nature, they may occasionally gather in small groups when hunting larger prey or defending territory. Lucives display remarkable intelligence, capable of laying ambushes and tracking both animals and humans with extraordinary precision. Although they are primarily similar to nocturnal vampiric deers, lucives can tolerate daylight, with deer's pale skin and delicate fur may burn mildly if exposed to the sun for extended periods, but they suffer no lasting harm and retain full strength. They do not form large herds and avoid prolonged interactions with other lucives, except during rare reproductive or regenerative events. The perpetual cuteness ensures that even when noticed by humans or other animals, they are often underestimated, which grants them a significant advantage in survival. They are unnatural rivals, the frequent clashes where these monsters meet plains, like jackalopes rely on agility and cooperative tactics to protect their territory, while lucives use speed, predatory instincts, and deceptive cuteness to evade or counterattack. The recounter of their lightning-fast duels at twilight, leaving only scars on the landscape and a sense of unease for any human observers. Lucives also exploit their fawn-like form to lure curious animals or humans closer, using their apparent innocence as a psychological tool before striking. Many people want to hesitate to kill them, mistaking them for real fawns, this hesitation often proves fatal.
