Shining Horse

Overview
Though they are equine in appearance, shining horses are not true horses. In fact, they‘re not even mammals! They shed all of their fur a long time ago, leaving them with soft skin.

Daily Life
Shining horses live in herds of 3-10. Their sensitive feelers allow them to pick up emotions and strong auras nearby. They eat minerals and particularly like very shiny metals and crystals. Their hooves are made of a strong metal that allows them to trample predators, but they will only do that under dire circumstances as these creatures are nearing the status of a true light creature.

Adaptations

 * The feelers evolved over time as the creatures wanted to be more empathetic.
 * Rarely, a shining horse becomes a true light creature and is able to change how reflective their skin is. This allows them to blind predators and harm shadow creatures.
