Overview

This article or section contains lore-related information.
Though not strictly necessary for playing the game, you are encouraged to read this section if you wish to have a better understanding of the game's universe.


The snawfus is a sort of giant deer, distantly related to the white-tailed deer, but with several differences; it is approximately the same size as an elk, has all-white fur, a pair of shining, steel-blue eyes, and attunement to elemental magic; and more specifically, ice and cold magic. The latter is evident in two facts: The air around a snawfus seems to chill briefly wherever it passes, and the snawfus can fire the frostblast from its mouth, just like the kallwolf.

Another trait unique to the snawfus is their antlers. Instead of being made of bone, snawfus antlers are made of a material identical to plum wood, complete with flowers. Also much unlike regular deer and elk, both snawfus bucks and does have antlers; females simply appear to have slightly shorter ones, whereas males are longer and more likely to be flowering.

While snawfus meat is in the same category as venison, its taste has been described as sweeter, with fruity hints. Hunting this creature is, however, not recommended unless you are adequately prepared. Their hide is reputed for being much tougher and more resistant to gunfire than that of an elk. Adventurers have recommended the use of armor-piercing ammunition to get the best results.
