Shikage

Grimm Classification: Deer/Stag

Grimm Title: Shikage (or Black Death)

Threat Ranking: C: Graduated Beacon students level. (Threat increases if it is a Herd of them. )

Appearance: Shikage are generally looking like a black or Deer/Stag, just a lot more slender. Its head is covered in armor, as are its legs, and back. Its average height is a bit bigger than a normal deer. Their Antlers are made of the same material as their mask and armor. The older a Shikage gets, the longer their 'unicorn horn' gets. Younger Shikage's armor and antlers aren't as well formed as the elder ones. Their 'eyes' usually glow in an eerie gold/orange colour.

Ability:


 * Speed: Shikage are very fast and untrained hunters tend to only see a black shadow before they are pierced by the creatures horn(s). They tend to attack with either their long horn whilst the spikes on their back give them a small protection against predators attacking them from above.
 * Weakness:  Their main weakpoint would be the back of their feet, and their belly! Easy to attack with long range weapons. Only attacks one or two people at a time.

Additional Notes: They are more active during Autumn and Winter seasons, wheras during Spring they usually don't attack any Humans. In Summer they may attack if you get too close to their offspring.

Also, I think I should mention that "Shikage" is a small pun of the japanese words 鹿 Shika for Deer and 影 Kage for Shadow. So basically it's called Shadow Deer but "Black Death" sounded a lot more impressive.
