Gestral
Gestral is a fictional species of herbivorous mammal commonly featured in fantasy literature and gaming. It is described as a medium-sized ungulate that inhabits temperate forests and marsh edges in northern regions. Adults typically measure around 1.1 to 1.4 meters at the shoulder and weigh 150 to 230 kilograms. The fur is dense and seasonal, ranging from pale gray-brown in summer to darker charcoal in winter. A distinctive feature is a low dorsal crest of longer hair and a short pair of horn-like ridges on the forehead; both sexes may bear these structures, though size is usually greater in males.
