Siehnam is the enlarged version of pampas deer, which is a descendant of the pampas deer also. Siehnam have dark tan fur, lighter on their undersides and insides of legs. Their coats do not change with the seasons. They have white spots above their lips and don't have white patches on their throats.
Their tails are long and flowing in chocolate colored, including pufflegs in hands and feet with chocolate colored stockings markings, 29 cm to 45 cm long, and when they run, they lift their tail to reveal a white patch, just like white-tailed deer and mule deer. Males have big, lightweight antlers that are 4-pronged, which go through a yearly cycle of shedding in August or September, with a new grown set by December like pampas deer.
Being extremely cautious and cryptic, they will swiftly hide in thick vegetation if they perceive any danger. With powerful legs and a broad field of vision, the pampas deer was adapted for racing across open plains. To get away from predators, it can run quickly in zigzags. The deer's excellent senses of smell and hearing were average. Although they are not very aquatic, they can swim, primarily to traverse rivers or flooded pastures. Males only have antlers, which they utilize to fend off predators or competitors.
Siehnam is enraged and releases dark magic and dark matter on their feet. If the female is killed for their sacrifice and safe for their baby and mate, turning its eyes red results in revenge. Make Siehnam's horns sharper than other swords, and the canine teeth will be able to make a weapon for biting to make it worse. However, Siehnam walks their dark pad magic as they can be "flying" around to "walk" in the midair.
Gloomy Charge – Siehnam ramming with their 4 pronged antlers deals dismemberment, exsanguination, sundered, impaled, and darkness.
Psychopathic Kick – Siehnam kicks their hind legs as weapon deals slowness. If this skill is active, enhanced and deals blindness and traumatization.
Revenge 4 Da Love – Siehnam enrages to own, unleashes dark aura to make blindness nearby under the darkness.
Against the Odds – Siehnam shoots shadow ball deals blindness, darkness, and horror.
Pampas Ritualistic – Siehnam in the pampas, regenerative their health quickly. Only non-pampas are not effective due to moisturization.
Groups are not separated by gender, and bucks will drift between groups. There are usually only 2–10 deer in a group, but there can be many more in good feeding areas. They do not have monogamous pairs, nor are there harems. When they feel they may be in danger, they hide low in the foliage and hold, and then bound off about 100–200 meters, often looking back at the disturbance. Siehnam are active in endurance, so only their defense will be affected. Females with a fawn will fake a limp to distract a predator or if they are unsure of a situation, such as if a human appears to others.
The male Siehnam initiates courtship with a low stretch. He makes a soft buzzing sound. He nuzzles the female, may flick his tongue at her, and averts his eyes from flirting. He stays near her and may follow her for a long time, smelling her saliva from other male fruits. Sometimes the female responds to courtship by marriage style on the ground to propose to kiss, unlike humans.

Siehnam was the fiercest of all guardians, and no one took it; however, a Siehnam's trust can be slowly earned. If a person helps a Siehnam or saves its life, the deer will return the favor and will from then on be a friend and now domesticated, as one of the lost dossiers from Ostara.
Compared to other animals, the pampas deer has less religious or sacred significance among Indigenous tribes. Nonetheless, it can be found in Native American tales from the Pampas and Chaco regions, where a malevolent deer known as the Siéhnam is mentioned. The Chorote of Argentina used to be terrified of Siéhnam the deer. It would strike at night, looking for communities after midnight, and use its big antlers to stab people to death. symbols of rural South American culture (hunting history, gaucho mythology).
