Flower deer (Cervus flossilvae) 

The majestic flower deer are among the most intelligent inhabitants of the deep forest. Revered as the forest spirits, these creatures are renowned for their exceptional connection to magic and their mastery over it.

Flower deer are proficient in casting spells of illusion and charms. These magical abilities are harnessed for self-preservation, allowing them to evade predators and maintain their elusive existence within the forest’s depths.

The antlers of the flower deer possess potent magical properties, making them objects of great interest and desire for hunters and alchemists. Additionally, the flowers that adorn these creatures are utilized in the creation of some of the rarest and most potent potions.

Unfortunately, the quest for their antlers and flora growing on their bodies has driven flower deer to become exceedingly wary of all sentient creatures. As a result, these extraordinary beings have become a rare and elusive sight in the wilderness.
