Fiscus deer
Fiscus deer are a genus of long tailed deer
(extendicaudus) that is divided into 3 species:
- Long nosed fiscus (extendicaudus harenus)
- Short nosed Fiscus or Common Fiscus (sxtendicausus arcandri)
- Northern fiscus (extendicaudus nortragoni)
they're most closely related to whitetail deer. They were domesticated around 5000 years ago. Today there are several different breeds. Due to their abilities and availability they act as a substitute for horses in many areas of Arcandria.
Wild type
Design Rules:
Fiscus deer are an open species and outside my own personal writing and canon im not too concerned with people following my design guides (theyre guides after all)
You may:
-create markings not listed below
-mix colors/create new believable coat colors
-use mutations that exist in real life (two tails/polycaudality, stubby tail, missing limbs etc.)
You may not:
-Use neon/very unnatural coat colors, unless dyed
-use perfect pattern (stars, triangles, polygons with sharp straight edges)
-unbelievable mutations (wings, functioning extra pair of limbs, antlers of other deer species, feathers)

Base color:
The base color of the whole coat
Wild type:
This is the morph wild Fiscus will appear in (unless domestic Fiscus are in the bloodline)
Dilution:
Dilution lightens the base color. Two dilution alleles will have greater effect/lightening than just one allele
Concentrated:
Concentrated darkens the base color
Masked:
Creates a mask as found in roe deer (dark around the nose + light ring around the dark and eyes)
Ear marks:
Will crate the ear patterns of wild hares (dark tips and window )
Blanket:
Will darken the back and shoulders
Dun:
Creates a dark line on the back and slightly darkens the legs
Scorched:
Will darken the extremities
Mirrid:
Lightens the belly (sometimes neck area) and rump/tail base
Buck spot:
Creates a white spot with black outline on the back of males
Roan:
White hairs grow in between the base colored hairs at the body centre
Fawn marks:
Fawn marks wont vanish after 4 weeks, but rather stay the whole life
Flanks:
Reindeer like lightened markings will appear on the neck and sides
Pangare:
The legs, elbow, groin and muzzle area will lighten slightly
Dapples:
Patches of fur will lighten over the deers lifetime
Fleaing:
Brindling consisting either of lichtend or dankend fur
Tobiano:
Rounded spots that almost always cover at least the legs and shoulders
Sabino:
White patches often with speckling and roaning. Sabino covers almost always at least the legs and farts of the head
Frame Overo:
White patches with jagged edges almost never covering the back (no lethal white Syndrom like in horses)
Splashed white:
White covering at least the legs, only rarely stray/disconnected patches
Appaloosa:
White patterns starting at the croup (symmetrical). Appaloosa has multiple patterns that can be inherited
Dominant white (DW1):
White on nearly or all part of the body with speckling and roaning in some places
Dominant white (DW2):
White covering some part of the body with speckling and roaning in some places
Rubicano:
White roaning starting at the groin and tail base
Spots:
Single relatively small white spots
Lacing:
White lacing/tiling starting at the back/croup
Blood marks:
