Stellacorn are equine creatures that live near the peak of Mount Targon.

Lore

The Stellacorns are like manifestations of The Starchild. Stellacorns are called "Stars" by Soraka and her followers.

Physiology

Young

Young Stellacorn looks like small glowing zebra with two large wings. Their body glows, visible even in daylight. They have two main colors: light blue and white. The light blue and white colors makes stripe patterns, most visible on its face and the backhalf of the body. They also have black noses and black hooves on its four legs, which also the only parts do not glow.

They have short heads, like a goat, along with big and long ears, similar to a rabbit's, which typically point downward. Their eyes resemble that of a human, with white sclera and black iris. The mane is short, with the part on top of the head spiky and pointing upwards. Their tails end with a small tuft. Near the top of its head, and between its two eyes, is a gently curved horn, pointing perpendicular from the head. As with the rest of its body, the horn has a soft white glow.

Adult

Like its young lings, mature Stellacorn are like zebras with large wings. Its ain colors are light blue and white, with stripe patterns most visible on the face and back half of the body.

However, their manes are much longer and larger. Their eyes are bright white, with no visible iris. The horn is also much longer now, transition from light blue on its bottom to white at its tip.

Culture

Shepherd Illi and her dog Osu with a herd of Fledgling Stellacorn.

• Young Stellacorn are very fragile, and need caring. However, mature Stellacorns do not seem to directly take care of their young ones. Instead, they are taken care of by dedicated shepherds.
  • Currently, the young Stellacorns are herded by 8 Grandfather Rumul, his dog Osu, 1 Shepherd Illi and Lidari, Keeper of the Stars, near the peak of Mount Targon.
  • When the Stellacorns are fully capable of flight, they leaves Mount Targon, fly and live independently.
• Stellacorns have great healing power. When it lives near other creatures, they lend its power.
  • Grown Stellacorns live independently and do not share this power.
• Newborn stellacorns are not instinctually capable of flight. Thus, they must at some point take their first faltering flight. This usually leads to them falling down, sometimes to the base of Mount Targon. If they are lucky, they would be taken back to the herd.
• According to the star keepers, when a grown stellacorn flies, humans often see them as a moving star. It is considered lucky to see a Stellacorn, and even luckier to grow one.
