Elk

Elk were the largest members of the deer family. They were favored by Uthgar and the sleeping god Ulutiu.

Description
Elk had a good sense of smell and were adept at hiding.

Behavior
Elk would flee from most predators or hunters, but on occasion they would turn and defend themselves against creatures smaller than themselves.

Combat
When forced to fight, they would use their hooves.

Ecology
Elk could be found alone or with herds. Besides Luruar, where they were prevalent, elk were found in the forest of Cormanthor, in the Ama Basin where they were raised by the Issacortae, the dragonborn kingdom of Relmaur, and in the Howling Mountains.
