Deeran

Deeran are passive animals found throughout Alzaka that appear as larger versions of deer. == Descrption They are light grey, and if you look closely you may notice the difference between male and female: The females are slightly smaller and are more slender than the males, and have small antlers, so you will get small antlers as a drop from females and large antlers as a drop from males. DescriptionEdit== They are fragile targets that are easily dispatched due to their low amount of health. However, if you succeed 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. Deer often scatter at the first sound of a passer-by, making them rather hard to dispatch for low level or melee players. However, characters with high Sneak can get closer to them.

If the Dragonborn is careful and does not disturb the deer, they can be found standing still or slowly wandering around. The moment the deer spots the player, they will attempt to run regardless as to whether or not the Dragonborn is acting aggressively. They can then be easily picked off with a well-placed arrow. While hunting deer, it is a good idea to either be equipped with a small amount of stamina potions or the Whirlwind Sprint shout to easily chase after them, if you do not kill them right away.

Another way of hunting deer is to pursue them while riding a horse, this makes keeping pace with them much easier. With the Dawnguard DLC installed, you may also attack them while riding, which is extremely effective, albeit you have to dismount to loot the pelt and meat.

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.
