Homebrew Cervikin Species Details

The Cervikin are deer-like people who have a great affinity for dense forests. They live in herds led by males of their race. These male leaders are called Stags. Stags traditionally have greater strength than the other males but more importantly are more intelligent and wise. Their decision making skills are above the rest of the herd. Females can hold power as well and are twice as numerous as males. They are the caretakers of the herd and generally go out to find new territory or food sources while the males hold the current lands. 

All Cervikin eat only plant material and all of them have antlers. Members of this race perform best when they are near each other.
