This article is about the large deer. For other uses, see Elk (disambiguation).
Elk were the largest members of the deer family.[4] They were favored by Uthgar and the sleeping god Ulutiu.[5]
Description[]
Elk had a good sense of smell[2] and were adept at hiding.[4]
Behavior[]
Elk would flee from most predators or hunters, but on occasion they would turn and defend themselves against creatures smaller than themselves.[4]
Combat[]
When forced to fight, they would use their hooves.[2]
Ecology[]
Elk could be found alone or with herds.[2] Besides Luruar, where they were prevalent,[2] elk were found in the forest of Cormanthor,[6] in the Ama Basin where they were raised by the Issacortae,[7] the dragonborn kingdom of Relmaur,[8] and in the Howling Mountains.[9]
Uses[]
- Othovir, a craftsman of Triboar, was famous for creating masterful tack and harnesses from elk hide.[10]
- In the Ama Basin, the Pazruki were known to cure elk hides into thick, inflexible leather armor.[11]
Trivia[]
- Countess Zaranda Star's bedspread in Morninggold Keep was embroidered with elks and penguins.[12]
