Cave deer are fawn-sized, furless creatures that resemble their greater counterparts very vaguely. They come in a wide variety of natural and unnatural colors, sometimes they even have multiple eyes or glowing markings. Males of the species sometimes have small antlers and are slightly larger than the females. Cave deer can usually be found where there is a good amount of grass or browse available. 1)

Marsh Strider

These deer are made for the swampy waters of Cetus. Their skin is usually dark in color with rubbery skin for the boggy wetlands. It’s not uncommon for them to have glowing markings across their dark pelts. Their legs are long, and perfect for crossing the bogs quickly. To catch these guys you must be quick and ready to counteract their swift movements.

Jungle Deer

Long-legged but dense in bone structure these deer survive off of rich vegetation and are primarily found in Eridanus. They aren’t the fastest of the species of cave deer but manage to evade predation by a quick burst of speed and agile turns among the undergrowth, their skin also tends to be earthy shades of brown and green or sometimes even shades of blue or yellow. They also have a very keen sense of smell and it’s not uncommon to find a third eye on them.

Tunnel Runners

These are the largest of the species, usually towering over the other varieties. They are the most unusual in the fact that they are solitary and also a little more aggressive than your other varieties of cave deer. The color of their skin is usually dull or muted tones but with glow markings seen in some. The males have sharp single-pointed antlers to fight for mates while females have short tusk-like fangs for defense.

Wooly Deer

Small and goat-like, Woolly Deer thrive in the colder biomes of the caves. Stockily-built, Woolly Deer always develop either shaggy fur coats or thick wool within their first cycle. They have boxy faces with floppy, rounded ears. All individuals, regardless of sex, grow blunt antlers used for protecting their young. Woolly Deer seem to be prefer the snowier areas, snuffling around for buried mosses and grasses to eat. Their choice of escape routes are often slippery paths littered with patches of ice and slush, over which they never seem to stumble. Young Woolly Deer can often be seen skating around as practice and for play.
