{{Creo}}

Cervantes is a rare [[Nature]]-type [[Creo]], perfectly camouflaged in the forest and adapted for silent movement beneath dense canopies.

Cervantes hides are a valuable commodity for the lucky few humans who find one in the forest.

== Biology ==
Cervantes' default state is a deep brown coat marked by forest green accents: spots along the rump, a ruff of fur around its neck, and a shock of hair capping its head, with matching green hind fetlocks, tail, beard, nose, and ear flaps. Its green eyes glow faintly in dim forest twilight, bright enough for Cervantes to navigate without drawing attention.

The proportion of brown to green shifts throughout the year to match the seasons, with green fading almost entirely in winter, sometimes even to white. Its two spiraling brown horns grow throughout the year and are shed every spring, along with a full sloughing of its skin.

When pressed, Cervantes can reach speeds of up to 45 km/h in short bursts, weaving effortlessly through trees.

Their diet is heavy in tree nuts, including acorns and hickory nuts, which they crack using exceptionally strong jaws. However, they must be careful not to chip their teeth in the process, as their teeth cannot be renewed. Cervantes also browse leaves, bark, and forest fungi when nuts are scarce.

Cervantes inhabit old-growth forests with thick understory and abundant nut-bearing trees. They are crepuscular, or most active in the mornings and evenings, when light levels favor their camouflage. Though generally solitary, Cervantes occupy loose overlapping territories. Encounters between multiple Cervantes, especially during the mating season, often escalate from friendly to not-so-friendly roughhousing, including headbutts, sharp kicks, and antler jabs. As a result, even though their camouflage shields them from most dangers, Cervantes tend to bear a variety of scars from these scrapes and tussles with their own kind, at least until the next spring when their coats are renewed.
