Deer

Deer are among the larger forest animals. When no danger is near, they follow the same alternating periods of wandering and rest as other animals. Startled, they accelerate sharply and often leave the hunting area before a lone Magma can catch them. They rest more often at night and in rain without giving up their rapid escape from a nearby threat.

Magma recognise them as prey, and they leave a substantial carcass after death or old age. Because forest populations are not replenished automatically, every successful hunt also changes this habitat permanently. A large body promises more carrion, but demands a longer pursuit and more attacks from the hunter.
