Rahier Species Reference

Description

Full View to read descriptions!
Rahier are a species/creature that I've developed to encompass a few of my costume designs, including the Grey Witch. I do not intend to be super protective of the Rahier, so if anyone wants to make a Rahier character, please do! I only ask that you do not use them for commercial purposes, and credit me with the actual name "Rahier" if you use it.
On that note, I realize that this design isn't amazingly original - there are many felines with horns out there. I'm not going to accuse anyone of "stealing the Rahier" or anything silly like that.

Some additional notes that I didn't put on the reference:

- They may wear any variety of clothing, jewelry, or other adornments. They may also go about in nothing.

- Despite the "model" look of the examples above, Rahier may have virtually any body type (just like people).

- The tails of the Rahier are typically reminiscent of an almost horse-like tail, with very long hair covering a somewhat short actual tail. However, some will also have longer tails, which may simply have tufts or sections of the longer hair, or may simply be short fur. The tails are generally flexible and cat-like.

EDIT: More Info!

Life span:
Rahier are mortal, but they live for a very long time - probably about 1000 years.

Rahier reproduction:
When a Rahier/Orahier parent/parents desire offspring, a Rahier/Orahier child is born somewhere in the world to a surrogate mother. The Surrogate can be any species, and that species would both have an influence on the appearance (and probably behavior) of the child, and would reflect the Rahier parent's ideals for their offspring. When the child is born/hatched (or maybe when the child is almost ready to be born/hatched), the Rahier parents set out to retrieve them. They instinctively/magically know where to go, and the means by which they retrieve the child (stealing it away in the night, thanking/blessing the surrogate, killing the surrogate, etc) would depend on the nature of the individual Rahier. In the case of an egg, the Rahier parents may or may not take the egg and incubate it themselves.

I have wanted to make one of these! I had no idea there was a species ref and that they were open! I've been in love with the look for years!
