The dragon moose is a quadruped with the approximate size and build of a moose. Its head is topped by a pair of long back-curving bifurcated horns and its neck and shoulders are covered by a dark mane. Its relation to a dragon is indicated by the resemblance of its ears to the wings of a bat, the long barbels at the corners of its mouth, and the row of dorsal spines extending from the nape of its neck to the tufted tip of its tail.
