An herbivore! The Batonier's Elk is a large animal that you DO NOT want to pick a fight with. They are extremely dangerous all year 'round, and during the breeding season this bad attitude just gets even worse. Males can grow up to six feet tall, and that's not excluding the large rack! Females trail at five feet tall. Both males and females are an auburn color, however, only males have the potential to produce fire.

After consuming the liquid from the oil plant, the ingredients for fire are filtered up into what is called the Fire Veins located in the male's antlers. If a person was to go up and feel these antlers, they would feel oily. When a male feels threatened or needs to chase off a rival, he leans down and strikes his antlers against a rock or other surface and catches his antlers on fire. This can be used as either an offensive or defensive mechanism. To protect the male, an orange mane grows around his head, on his ears, and down his neck, chest, and back. This mane is fire retardant. The fire eventually goes out on its own from burning through all the oil or can be put out by the Elk itself.

Females lack any ability to produce fire. They are boring in every sense of the word. However, they can be just as dangerous as their male counterparts. When they have a baby with them, the females will not hesitate to charge anyone that threatens her offspring. Females have even been known to take on males that get too close.

Males are generally loners while females live in small herds.

The Batonier's Elk gets it name because of a certain profession among humans known as Batoniers. Whenever an Elk is killed, the antlers will be carefully extracted. They will be cut down to form batons. They can be dipped in oil and the antlers will absorb it. A fire retardant handle is crafted either onto an end or in the middle of the baton. The Batonier then strikes the baton against a rock or other surface to light it on fire, and proceeds to do an assortment of acrobatics with the object to put on a spectacular display.
