Deer

Deer were found all over Faerûn. Deer were the preferred animal manifestations of Gwaeron Windstrom, Shiallia, and Silvanus. Stags, male deer, were favored by the gods Baervan Wildwanderer, Eldath, and Rillifane Rallathil, while white-coated celestial stags were chosen by Labelas Enoreth.

Species

 * Elk, the largest species within the deer family.
 * Red Deer: The red deer was found in the Cormanthor area, feeding on the plentiful rye grass found there. They could also be found on the plateau of High Moor, with most living in the Misty Forest.
 * Reindeer

Habitats
Deer were commonly found in the Pellamcopse Woods, north of Waterdeep. They could also be found in the Tangled Vale.
