Unlike the closely related species of cervugi, cervidou seem to not have ever been hunted for their tusks or antlers. In modern times, cervidou are used on farms to plow and complete other tasks of manual labour.¹

It is not understood where the species came from, as they were not hunted during the time in which cervugi were, but were around early enough that their names are similar. The etymology of cervugi is unclear, and cervidou is similar, but the word for work in Aevot is “idou”.

The coat in colder months grows longer with more dense, white and grey hairs, while in warmer months their fur is shorter and mostly brown with gray patches, especially around the forehead, nose, mouth, underbelly, and lower legs. They have two sets of antlers and two sets of tusks. The longer antlers break off annually, and both sets of tusks are used to plow.¹
