Creature Exchange! July '15

for

I made some sort of a canine/bear/deer-esque creature but feel free to change proportions and anatomy to your choosing!

Some extra art: 

1 - What parts of your prompt were written well and easy to understand? Was there anything the writer of the prompt could improve on or include next time they create a prompt?
It was very easy to understand! I had so many ideas in my mind that I hoped I managed to get something to enjoy

2 - Please explain how you interpreted the prompt to create your design. Which features did you use? Did you stick to the chosen palette or make changes to it? Does the design you created have any special abilities or quirks?
"Cave system" was a suggested theme, and I used that with the animal design to create a creature that lives in caves and has a anatomy that allows for it to survive.  From glowing eyes to bells to claws built perfectly for searching for precious gems, this is an animal perfect for a cave! I also included mushrooms because I thought that glowing mushrooms would definitely be something to help survive in the dark.  The back of it has its own sort of ecosystem in which seasons and amount of sunlight will affect what grows c:

They're very kind creatures and love to snuggle rather than hurt another! They're actually quick to frighten and would rather run than fight 

Want any changes? Feel free to let me know c:
