Stags are herbivores found in temperate forests && meadowlands.
They are the aggressive males of a herd which numbers 4-8 times the number of stags encountered.
These creatures will defend the herd against all but the most fearsome opponents.
A stag can attack with its branching antlers or by lashing out with its sharp forehooves.

The stag is the sacred animal of Solonor Thelandira.
