Forest Fawn

Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: - #048 - FOREST FAWN Type: Nature/Fairy Habitat: Deep Eldergrove Size: Medium (deer-sized, 3-4 feet tall at shoulder) Rarity: Rare APPEARANCE: Enchanting young deer-like creatures with soft light brown fur adorned with scattered white spots and whimsical patches of vibrant green moss that appear to grow naturally on their backs, shoulders, and heads. Their antlers are uniquely branch-like, entwined with moss and delicate green leaves, appearing like living tree branches sprouting from their heads. BEHAVIOR: Forest Fawn are mystical, gentle forest guardians who move silently through deep woods with supernatural grace. They're devoted to glowing mushroom colonies, spending significant time lowering their heads close to bioluminescent fungi, appearing to whisper or communicate with them in quiet moments of intrigue. ABILITY: Their primary ability is encouraging mushroom growth and bioluminescence—forests they inhabit have extraordinarily vibrant glowing mushroom colonies with enhanced luminescence. They can communicate with fungi through whispers—understanding mushroom networks and forest needs through fungal connections. HABITAT & DIET: Found exclusively in deep ancient sections of Eldergrove. They create resting spots in dense moss patches beneath massive oaks, blending perfectly with surroundings. They feed on mushrooms, forest vegetation, tree bark, moss, lichen, and absorbed ambient forest magic. LORE: Forest Fawn are legendary forest guardians whispered about in tales but rarely seen by mortals. The Warden knows them well—they're among his oldest companions and most trusted forest monitors, reporting forest health through their mysterious mushroom communications and whispered networks. Temperament: Mystical, Gentle, Shy, Guardian, Wise Activity: Crepuscular/Nocturnal (most active during twilight and night)
