 Beasts of the Broken Realms Entry #1 - The Moonraffe 

There are many curious creatures in Lucernia, but none as remarkable as the Moonraffe. With it’s bright ears, the nightly habits of this species are a blessing to the denizens of the broken islands, providing light during the recharge cycle of the Sun.

 It sleeps during the day while absorbing the light from the Sun and uses its energy to generate magical energy to sustain itself through a biological process called Lightesis. When the Sun shuts down at night these creatures wake up and their enormous silhouettes can be seen on the sky from anywhere in the rings. No one can be sure about if or how these animals reproduce, or how long they live since nobody has actually seen one of them die. And thus many small tribes from the outer rings have considered them a symbol of the Divine.
