So, we all know (or, I hope we do) that Kaldorei, when they're destined to be a great, great person, have antlers. I'd imagine that these copy deer antlers in shape and such. So, here comes my question.
Female deer do not have antlers (at least, usually), so does that mean that it's impossible for female Kaldorei to have antlers?
I'd think that it could be possible, with the idea that the females take a higher place in Kal'dorei society than the males. It might be more rare, however, as a lot of the pictures I've seen that involve the antlers are usually male druids. So it could possibly be more of a druid partial thing.
Actually, the only Deer sub-specie I know with antlers for female AND males are Caribous (reindeer), but except this, that's all.
But as the Draneïs form a particular race, I believe that they don't really go in the "Buck deer -> antlers // Doe deer -> none" stereotype.
Taurens are kinda cows, but females don't have the same "kind" of mamary glands as cows have, I believe that we can consideer it the same thing.
The antler thing, from my experience, is entirely limited to Druids. That said, I've always assumed that if males got stag antlers, then females likely got excessively smaller ones. More like little "nubs" that would only show if their hair were pressed flat down.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any female Druid lore figures... Period... To base any real inference on.
@Kiffles; Well, Males = Druids and females = Sentinels/Priestesses.
@Dragonmad + Kiffles; Indeed, there's no lore evidence giving Female Druids antlers.
@Herastean; I don't really know where the Draenei and Tauren came from. Only Kaldorei can have antlers.
@Djurawuzhere; Are antlers suddenly growing out of it?

Exactly. That said, there's no real evidence
against it. There just also isn't any evidence for it. However, as I doubt Druidism discriminates on gender lines when providing this sort of "gift", I stand by my belief that females likely get some form of antler.
Yeah, I don't know why I wrote Draneïs, probably tired, I meant Night Elves.
Concerning the antlers, with the animals, they are growing up every year and also falling, going to their max for the rut period, so I don't really think that it should be taken as a "base" for the Kaldoreis ones, as they don't have a sexual purprose, but a nature-communion one.
Depending on the Female Druids thingy, if I get the WowWiki, there is some female druids, but still quite rare, and that just got accepted in the cenarius circle.

That is both disturbing and awesome at the same time.
@Dragonmad; Yes, I know. I was just wondering that if Night Elves are -that- nature attuned, why don't they follow nature exactly, as it goes.
@Herastean; Yea, we know about female Night Elf Druids. However, something so that you can know if you're going to be amazing in Druidism is antlers, so I'm wondering that if they follow Deers (which is what I see the antlers most like), would they follow Deers to the T, or not?
