-- '''Skin:''' Earth-toned, ranging from deep umber to muted gray-green, with a texture akin to smooth, weathered stone. Natural ridges, cracks, and vein-like striations form over time, shaped by the passage of years.

-- '''Antlers:''' All Dralvir possess massive, branching antlers that continue to grow throughout their lives. The oldest among them have antlers so vast that moss and small plants take root within them.

-- '''Hands & Feet:''' Broad, powerful hands with thick, blunt claws rather than nails, well-suited for gripping rough terrain or shaping the earth. Their wide, stable feet allow them to remain unmoved even in storm or flood.

-- '''Skeletal Structure:''' Their bones are incredibly dense and reinforced, making them resistant to injury. A Dralvir’s ribs are layered like those of ancient megafauna, providing natural protection to their core.

-- '''Scent & Presence:''' Dralvir carry the scent of the deep forest, reminiscent of damp earth, resin, and old stone. Their voices are deep and resonant, often described as "the sound of shifting earth beneath tree roots."
