Oryxequus

The Oryxequus were a large race of quadruped mammals. They were also hybrids that emerged from merging pony and antelope genetics. They lived in their own artificial dimension they called Paradise, a place which, as the name suggests, was a virtual paradise. They were one of the ancient races, and were for many millennia the alpha species. However, due to a side-effect of their innate talents, one which caused mental instability, they mostly wiped themselves out in a civil war known as the Oryxequus Civil War. They are well known for their immense innate magical talent, as well as their intimidating size - they are much taller and stockier than even the largest alicorn. The only known living oryxequus is Order, also known as Malevolence.

Races
The oryxequus, being a hybrid species, only have one race.

Magic
The oryxequus prided themselves on their immense magical ability. In terms of innate power they were peerless, able to cast advance-level spells almost by instinct. However, another race of hybrids, the draconequus, were far more numerous and able to learn after birth noticeably quicker than the oryxequus. As such, they became rivals in terms of overall magical ability.

While magic ability was the oryxequus' greatest pride, it was also what eventually destroyed them. While their innate affinity for magic gave the oryxequus a major advantage, it also caused mental instability - the greater the innate ability, the greater the mental instability. This eventually led to a race full of those who suffered from insanity, a harmful level of eccentricity, or grandiose delusions. These problems that plagued the oryxequus eventually led to a civil war and the downfall of their race.

Technology
Since they relied entirely on magic, the oryxequus never developed any significant levels of technology, either science-based or magical-based.
