Yahal have short backs and long necks. Their heads are oddly humanoid. Both genders sport a single antler sprouting backward from the center of their forhead. The front of the long neck is covered in fluffy fur while the rest of the body has shorter fur.
Diet
They are browsers, and feed primarily on foliage of grasses, sedges, forbs, shrubs and trees. They have small stomachs and high nutrition requirements. They require a moderate amount of minerals such as calcium to support antler growth, and this further necessitates a nutrient-rich diet.
