The Elafians (singular: Elafia) are an Ancient race in the world of Arknights.

Description

Elafians have the traits of deer (Cervidae), which can be seen from the shape of their antlers, though not all Elafians have them. A subrace of them dwelling in northern Sargon and southern Columbia also possess the traits of giraffes (Giraffa sp.) such as tall stature, tail with a long, dark tuft of hair, and a pair of ossicones.[1]

Most Elafians live in Sami,[2] whereas there are decent population of them in Leithanien.
