Physically, they are quite tall and bulky, able to reach a height of 6.5 feet (horns excluded), with a weight that varies around 2 quintals. They have a muscular neck and body, and their head is adorned with two large ringed horns that can reach 3.5 feet in length, although in females they tend to be shorter and thinner. Their muzzle, neck, part of the back, and legs are often patterned with intricately black streaks, while their belly is white, and the rest of their body varies from shades of brown to brown-gray.

Before the Antelopes were conquered by the Lions and before their grim fate of barbaric slavery, their cities consisted mainly of large clay and straw houses that extended only one floor. The cities were surrounded by tall, albeit weak, mud and stone walls, with few and rare community buildings of monumental size, often flanked by large port areas and, obviously, surrounded by huge countryside dedicated to crops. Although they were born as a farming and cropper society, they quickly developed a thriving seafaring culture, becoming traders and, in a very short time, even feared pirates. Through cabotage, the practice of sailing not far from the coast, they could easily manage to attack, refuel with fresh water, and load large quantities of assets, looted or bought. According to some historical sources from El-Aran, it seems that they probably were the first people, between Cawat and Sarema, to trace nautical routes using stars as reference points. The Eel people, however, claim to own such primacy. Unfortunately, after their submission, they were forced to leave all maritime activities.

Although they were never a very united and well-regulated reign, the Antelope people were a small kingdom in which each city was ruled by a šhophét, who were headed by a king. Certainly, this almost-lack of central government unity did not play in their favor during the conquest, and unfortunately, since their conquest, all of their cities were completely demolished, replaced by the Lions' new cities, and their new rulers/owners relegated them to live in wooden and straw huts, often at the mercy of the weather and without the chance to own anything, but above all, to be not able to build or forge anything else of their tradition. Their cruelest penalty, however, remains their duty to raise animal-antelopes, which will then be fed to their rulers.
