Origin[]
The Celts of the West Highlands revered deer as supernatural animals, considering them 'fairy cattle' that were cared for by a local fairy giantess, who while also being able to transform into a deer, would choose the one that would be killed by the hunters on the next day's hunt.
This artifact directly inspired the animated film “Bambi”.
Effects[]
This particular hide was thrice blessed by Celtic magic, giving it its remarkable powers. Wearing the pelt gives the user the ability to communicate with animals, though more clarity happens between communications with temperate forest creatures. The animals, recognizing the hide, will bow down to its power and treat the wearer like royalty. Misusing the power, however, adds up to any other situation regarding tyrannical monarchs - the throne is overturned. The user will be punished by the pelt, being frightened to death.
