Miniceratus

Information
Miniceratus atalis is a descendant of the White-Tailed Deer that has grown to smaller sizes and runs quickly, turning to a niche not unlike rabbit's. Miniceratus is among the preferred prey items for the synapsid dinosaur Lupomimus dipodelli.

Design
To avoid being captured by larger predators, Miniceratus atalis has a much-reduced horn size and a small, upturned tail. The torso is rather skinny while the ears are larger in proportion to the body. Miniceratus uses countershading, having a lighter underbelly and a darker back. It no longer seems to have the spots of its ancestors in its fur pattern.
