Homebrew Deer Folk Species Details

Deer folk are mythical creatures that are a mix between man and deer. They have the face and torso of a human but with the antlers and a lower half of a deer. Due to their magical background, they grow to be colossal sizes (compared to other medium creatures). Their intuition and instincts are enhanced and gain speech of beast and leaf. Because of your deer legs your speed is like a satyrs moving faster than most creatures. Due to of their size and the fact that they are similar and allied with firbolgs they know the giant language. Like the goliaths, they live atop cold mountains which cause them to come into little contact with other races including the fact that they are a secretive race in general.
