Metamorphoses Into Paljal

This Kreature was originally designed to be a pet, but its sharp reflexes and survival instincts make it pretty effective in battle as well, especially for a Tamer that specializes in support roles or evasive maneuvers. The antlers on its head are set in sockets that allow them to swivel, and are used for detecting enemy movements and balancing when making high speed turns. In a pinch, they can also be used for self defense; many a large opponent has been brought down unexpectedly by having a Jaljal suddenly dart between their legs and lacerate their tendons. Grasses, blossoms and berries are its favourite foods, and thanks to its mild-mannered temperament, it is a good Kreature for a novice Tamer to start out with. Feral Jaljals are extremely abundant and can be found in nearly every nation in Dimentiara, which the exception of some islands in Lavok and Olios where they've been eradicated or never introduced.
