Rangifer

Rangifers are reindeer-like creatures in the Frostgrave universe created by Joseph A. McCullough, published by Osprey Games.

Description
Tall humanoids with distinct reindeer features such as head of a reindeer with antlers, and hind legs with inverted knees and cloven hooves. Their hands are that of a primate. They are covered in short fur and have a hunched stature.

Society and Culture
Rangifers live in primitive tribes with a hundred members at most. Cultural traditions vary somewhat from tribe to tribe, but most often the tribe is lead by a shaman. Because only male rangifers seem to be able to wield magic, their society has developed to be paternalistic. Exceptions to this are not entirely unheard of.

These creatures are both territorial and nomadic. A tribe often claims a land as their own, where they can roam as they please. Being herbivores, they don't keep much livestock. Sometimes they keep boars for their keen sense of smell to aid in gathering food.

While not inherently hostile to humans, communicating with rangifers is limited at best. Their language is impossible to master as human physiology cannot produce all sounds rangifers use to communicate.

Their utter hatred for anything undead is a shared trait species-wide. Their religious basis gives emphasis on transition to the afterlife.

Combat
Rangifers are straightforward combatants, relying on their mass and speed. They wield primitive weapons that are prone to break down, but even in such scenarios they are adept in using their antlers as armament.

They do not use ranged weapons other than the occasional thrown axes or javelins.

If there is a shaman present, he often lends his magic to aid other rangifer warriors but is not shy from entering melee combat.
