Feathered Deer

Fauna
Small, elegant deer with feather-like growths along their backs and antlers resembling twisted vines. Shy and elusive.

 

  • Appearance: Delicate deer with soft feather-like fur along the spine and antlers resembling braided vines with small leaves.

  • Behavior: Skittish and gentle; they move in small herds. When threatened, their feather tufts puff up and scatter dandelion-like seeds to distract predators.

  • Diet: Windwillow shoots, Petalgrass, Lantern Fruit, and Bamboo leaves. During the Mist Season, they forage for fallen Mistbloom petals.

  • Other Traits: Their shed feathers are often collected by Scarfoxes for charms and decorations.

  • Behavior: Shy, fleet-footed creatures often seen grazing near the bamboo forests at dusk. They travel in small herds of 4-8 individuals and communicate through subtle ear flicks and tail motions. Their feather-like back growths puff up when startled.

  • Diet: Strict herbivores. They nibble on young bamboo leaves, Windwillow shoots, Feather Ferns, and low-hanging Lantern Fruit. During spring, they also consume fallen Cloud Blossoms and new Petalgrass growth.
