Sacred Deer (Mythical Creatures)

Deer that are holy or favoured by gods, such as the Ceryneian Hind sacred to Artemis and the shika deer of Nara and Shinto belief. An entry belongs here when its article presents a sacred deer. The group page lists related creatures together so that a reader can compare how one kind of being appears across cultures and stories. Entries are placed by what their own article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group that its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
