Stags are herbivores found in temperate forests and meadowlands. They are the aggressive males of a herd which numbers 4-8 times the number of stags encountered. These creatures will defend the herd against all but the most fearsome opponents. A stag can attack with its branching antlers or by lashing out with its sharp forehooves.
