This article is a work in progress!

Deer mounts were released during the 2021 run of Rumor Woods as the third mount available for the mount system. Mount are summoned by a summoning item, which stores their information, but are considered a separate item. There were three tiers released: common, uncommon, and rare.

Appearance

Standing approximately 34 inches high at the top of the shoulder, the deer has a slender face and tapered ears. Her compact body is covered in a thin, light brown coat, and she has a short, beige tail. She has muscular legs that culminate in cloven hooves, and a small pair of spike antlers sits upon her head.

Common

Common mounts are the least expensive option when considering purchase. They are limited in alteration options that may be allowed through the Ostler.
