The Drageer is a Sterile Hybrid of a female deer (most offten a red deer) and a Yulebuck. The males are about as big as a clydestale, and the females a little smaller. They are semi-sentinent, about as smart as a 8yr old child, and in order to get them to work, you must build a bond with them.
Having a lifespan equal to longer than a humans, at least 80 years and as many as 100 years, they make great lifetime companions, and sometimes children are given weanling fawns for their 13th or 16th birthdays, if their family can afford it.
They sound like a deer to most, but to some people they will happily use their limited dragon telepathy to communicate. Although the mental bond is not as strong as with a pure dragon, it is still a very close one.
They great strength is one of their key features, and if one is willing, they can be used to pull carts and can even be ridden. They are stronger and faster than a horse when pulling, and can go much longer when ridden.
They are mostly herbivorus, but wont object to the odd scrap of meat or eggs, and can be quite happily housed in a stable or paddoc. They are quite sociable, and if there are no other Drageers around, they will seek out the company of Deer or Horses, or even a dragon. Males in particular like having a herd of females around, even though they cant breed.
They come in varius color variations. They can have green horns, diffrent colored stripes, diffrent colored manes and even diffrent colored bodies. Those concieved during the Yulebuck's breeding season every 12 years are most commonly white, with a light mane, red stripes and green or brown antlers. They also have more magic than a normal Drageer, being able to fly without wings. They are also firtile, but can only breed with deer.
