Ravens are large black birds with a somewhat sinister reputation. Since they eat carrion, they are often found hanging around battlefields. One of the aspects of the triple death goddess, the Morrigan, often appears in the form of a raven. Some also say that ravens are spies, sent out by enemies. The deer's primary defence is flight.
Attack is most likely in the mating season, or if the deer is brought to bay during a hunt.
Their meat is highly prized. RED DEER are a reddish brown in colour, and stand four feet high at the shoulder. They are often found in open moorland and mountains. ROE DEER are smaller, standing only three feet high at the shoulder. They live in woodlands, where their pale brown colour helps them hide easily in the undergrowth.
