Jackamoose by Stone Gargoyle

The Jackamoose is a giant rabbit creature with hooves, antlers and powerful teeth. It should not be confused with the Jackamount, its smaller cousin which has claws. The Jackamoose is more difficult to train than most other mounts due to its aggressive nature.
The Jackamoose is generally solitary except in mating season. Only males have antlers, which they do not shed and keep all year, only losing them if they break off. They are highly aggressive and do not back down from a fight.
