Reindeer
Reindeer are a sub-species of deer that live somewhere on Earth, either in the Frozen North or in Northern Equestria in a location called "The Grove". Like deer, they are just as intelligent as ponies, but unlike deer who have an attachment to the greenery of forests, reindeers have an affiliation for colder environments.
Biology
Reindeer appear very similar to ponies, they're roughly the same height, size and build, only with antlers. This is starkly different to deer, who have completely different body shapes that look more like "real life" deer. Like ponies and unlike typical deer, Reindeer come in many colors and shapes. Reindeer appear to live for a very long time.
Reindeer appreciate riddles, but do so in a way to help others think for themselves and come up with their own conclusions, rather than to annoy or harm then such as the Sphinx and other riddle-giving creatures.
Abilities
Reindeer have special powers unique to them, or at least to the Gift Givers of the Grove. The Givers can fly, despite having no wings and appear to be almost nigh-omniscient in their respective fields. Aurora can see the past of gifts, while Alice can see the future. Alice doesn't appear to have the same gift, but has a more level-headed personality that keeps the others in check.
