Antelope

Antelopes were a species of a herd animal.

Behavior
Antelopes would normally flee from danger, but attack if cornered.

Species

Habitats
Antelopes were known to inhabit much of the region of Anauroch, especially the Fallen Giant Rift, the Sword, and Saiyaddar. In West Faerûn, they could be found in the hilly grasslands surrounding the city-state of Cursrah.

Beyond Faerûn they could also be found in the savannahs of Chult, the lowest levels of the Katakoro Plateau, the Pasocada Basin of Maztica, and in the Zakhara region's Crowded Sea, on the island chain of Nada al-Hazan.

Relationships
Antelopes were one of the primary animals hunted by wemics. They were also commonly the prey of cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs, and jungle giants.

Hybsils were often on good terms with antelopes.
