A generous little odd-toed ungulate. Effortlessly selfless, this gentle sweetheart is known to flog itself to death.

The gifthorse commonly dies alone as all other Christmas Creatures are instructed, from birth, to never look at it. Especially in the mouth.

Sadly, its mouth contains the cure for all known diseases.
