Common Pasture Deer

The common pasture deer is a large-sized deer found throughout Parania, especially The Isle of Chark, Balyshel, and Apelchem. The deer has created large amounts of fear for Paranian villagers as they never have recognized this deer before, claiming it was an evil spirit in disguise. The deer is relatively tall, about 3.9 feet tall at the shoulder, which is quite big for a normal-sized deer. The deer, like its name, is common throughout grasslands, pastures, mixed woodlands, and sanctuaries. The deer was once worshipped by ancient tribes as they speculated the deer was very momentous. Many have attempted to breed this deer but to this day the deer stays wild. 
The deer, like any additional deer, lies prey to carnivores like wolves, foxes, brown bears, and lynx. At high population densities, farmers can suffer economic damage by deer feeding on cash crops, especially in corn and orchards. It has become nearly impossible to grow some crops in some areas unless very burdensome deer-deterring measures are taken. Deer are excellent fence-jumpers, and their fear of motion and sounds meant to scare them away is soon dulled. Timber harvesting and forest clearance have historically resulted in increased deer population densities, which in turn have slowed the rate of reforestation following logging in some areas. High densities of deer can have severe impacts on native plants and animals in parks and natural areas; however, deer browsing can also promote plant and animal diversity in some areas. Deer can also cause substantial damage to landscape plants in suburban areas, leading to limited hunting or trapping to relocate or sterilize them. In parts of the Western Balyshel with high deer populations and fragmented woodlands, deer often wander into suburban and urban habitats that are less than ideal for the species.
