Important Information
Companion (Small Lepitaurs)
Companion Lepitaurs are preferred to be very striking in appearance. White markings are highly sought after, but pure white is especially valued. Blue eyes are preferred, but bicolored eyes and any eye color that is not brown is also well liked. Horns and fangs are not preferable for companion Lepitaurs as many believe it makes them less cuddly and more dangerous.
Weight Pull (Large Lepitaurs)
For the weight pull, Lepitaurs are preferred to have stocky legs, thick bodies, and blunt muzzles. Short tails are preferred as long tails tend to get in the way. Many believe weight pull Lepitaurs benefit from having thick coats as well as manes and leg feathering. It is preferred that the Lepitaurs have horns.
Racing (Large and Medium Lepitaurs)
For racing Lepitaurs, long legs and sleek bodies are best and long tails help them when making sharp turns. They also benefit from having short fur on their entire body. Pointed ears are preferred over floppy or furry ears.
Hunting (Large and Medium Lepitaurs)
For hunting, Lepitaurs must have color that blends with the environment, but this is heavily dependent on the type of terrain. There is debate in whether hunting Lepitaurs should be trained to take down the prey themselves and so different people have different preferences regarding whether they should have fangs or not. Horns are preferred as they may protect the Lepitaur from attacks. Medium length tails are helpful as long tails can get in the way and the lack of a tail makes it difficult to control directions at high speeds. It is said, though not proven, that blue eyed Lepitaurs have poorer eyesight than other eye colors and therefore are generally not preferred for hunting. It is certain that pale eyed Lepitaurs have fairly bad eyesight and are not generally good for hunting.
Small Guardians (Small Lepitaurs)
For those who need protection but want a compact, easy to keep Lepitaur, small guardians may be used. Horns and fangs are much preferred. Flashy colors and markings are appreciated.
Herding (Medium Lepitaurs)
Horns and fangs are frowned upon for herding Lepitaurs because they could injure the livestock accidentally. Extremely long tails tend to be more of a hazard than helpful as they could be stepped on by large livestock. It is preferred that taller Lepitaurs have normal length tails to help balance, but the shorter legged Lepitaurs may not need it. Leg feathering tends to get in the way and is not preferred.
Guardians (Large Lepitaurs)
Horns and fangs are ideal. Guardians are meant to be large and imposing creatures, often having extra fur such as manes that make them look even larger.
Small Hunters (Small Lepitaurs)
Generally used for hunting rabbits and other small prey, it is preferred they do not have horns as they can deter the lepitaur when diving into tunnels. Fangs are well liked for small hunters. Lepitaurs must have color that blends with the environment, but this is heavily dependent on the type of terrain. It is best that they lack manes and leg feathering as they must be fast and sleek and long fur can deter them.
Jockey Racing (Large Lepitaurs)
Unlike the other type of racing, these Lepitaurs are ridden and raced head to head. For that reason, fangs and horns are dangerous and often completely against the race's rules to have and so should be heavily faulted if not outright disqualified in these competitions. Long legs and sleek bodies are best and long tails help them when making sharp turns. Smooth, short fur is best on the entire body. Pointed ears are preferred over floppy or furry ears.
Pleasure Riding (Large Lepitaurs)
Mainly used for fun rather than practical uses, these Lepitaurs are preferred to be flashy. From eye catching colors and markings to exorbitant manes and leg feathering, these Lepitaurs should turn heads. Fangs and horns are not preferred.
Agility (any size) - Written by Shade
For agility Lepitaurs have long legs and lean bodies built for speed. Short furred is preferred, with manes and leg feathers being less preferred. Medium tails are preferred to make turns easier without catching on anything. Horns are undesirable due to their chances of catching on things.
Jousting (Large Lepitaurs) - Written by Thor
Similar to racing, jousting competitions need long-legged and large Lepitaurs for riding and speed. Unlike racing, horns are required to perform a joust. Riding is optional, as jousting can be dangerous. Stocky builds sacrifice speed for strength which can be an advantageous tactic. Thick fur and coats, manes, and feathering are preferred as they offer better protection during a joust. Colors that match the riders coat of arms are typically preferred, but generally any color and pattern can be found on jousters. Longer tails offer better maneuverability, however can get stuck or grabbed during a joust, therefore all tails, except primate, are acceptable. Fangs are faulted.
