Stags

Stags and other deer are commonly found in the eastern forests and high mountain areas of Rokugan, anywhere from the sea coast to about an altitude of eightthousand feet. The mature males are usually solitary, and will only be with the herd during mating season. They feed mostly on grass but also various wild fruits. A herd will usually consist of fewer than siz animals, most of which females and young. The adult males will establish territories during the mating season, where they are joined by female herds for short periods of time. Gestation is about seven months. If attacked the stag would defend itself with its large antlers and hooves, the antlers weighing up to as much as forty pounds. (3E p. 279)
