Deer are passive animals found throughout Skyrim.

Description

Deer Skyrim 1

Male and Female variant

They are light grey, and if looking closely it's possible to notice the difference between male and female: The females are slightly smaller and are more slender than the males, and have small antlers, resulting in receiving small antlers as a drop from females and large antlers as a drop from males.

They are fragile targets that are easily dispatched due to their low amount of health. However, if the Dragonborn succeeds in attacking one without killing it, it will flee rather than fight back, which can often be achieved by using a weak ranged spell or low level bow/arrows.

If the Dragonborn is careful and does not disturb the deer, they can be found grazing or slowly wandering around. The moment the deer spots the Dragonborn, they will attempt to run regardless as to whether or not the one is acting aggressively. They can then be easily picked off with a well-placed arrow.

The Fury or Frenzy spells can be used to make it hostile. If this is done, the deer will attack, but they deal very little damage.
