The Magnus of the Wilkwoods are inexorably linked to the Forest itself, so much so that many of them are considered Forest Spirits by the locals and scholars alike. Duskels are unmistakably fauna, however interestingly they exhibit many properties of flora in its anatomy. Disregarding the leaves that grow on their chests as they mature, Duskels are able to collect energy from sunlight using the large yellow plates on their backs.
When it was first discovered that Duskels had this capability to absorb sunlight, scholars from the Library were quick to hypothesis what exactly was the use of such a feature. Was it to use as sustenance? Regulate body heat? Or maybe to fire giant lasers from their antlers? The answer came when on of the researchers accidentally scared a young duskel which prompted its older kin to step in and fire solar rays at the unfortunate Librarians.
Another interesting feature of the Duskel are the hard growths over the front of their face, which turned out to be part of its skeleton. The green film over their eyes allows it to have a better view in the dark and the hard bone like exterior allows it to headbutt with enormous strength. Library records of the Duskel are extensive and plentiful, mostly due to the massive curiosity over the back plate solar energy debate, and there was no need for further observation.
