The stag is a profitable mount with a great mobility in the woods.

Habitat

The stag's grove.

The stag is found deep in the forest near two stone lanterns with a small waterfall in between them.

Kingdom: New Lands – This mount is unlocked with a signpost on the third island, after which it can be found on any island.

Kingdom Two Crowns – The stag is always on the second island, and costs one gem to unlock and three coins to ride it.

Speed

It walks slowly, but it gallops very fast when inside the forest, while its gallop speed is comparable to the black horse on open land. It normally has slightly more stamina than the original horse, but less so on open terrain. It can graze on grass to recover stamina, but is slightly slower than the horse on developed land.

Kingdom Two Crowns – As the stag can only run faster in the woods, its mobility inside the cave is the default, without the speed bonus, which means: regular gallop, and deadly slow walk speed.

Captivating deer

Some deer following.

The stag is also able to make deer follow it. Walking or standing near a deer for a short duration* will cause an attraction harp sound to play. Afterward, small love hearts will appear above the normal deer along with the notification sound and the deer will begin following. The deer don't gain speed, so they cannot keep up with stag, but they will continue following even when off-screen.

Kingdom: New Lands – Deer have to look around before falling in love. If a deer wasn't randomly performing the "looking around" animation when the stag approached, that animation will forcefully be the next one. Once that cycle is completed, the love hearts will appear.

Kingdom Two Crowns – Deer can be captivated without looking around, but they have to conclude whichever cycle of idle animation they're performing when the stag approached them. For that reason, Monarchs need less time to gather the same amount of deer, making the stag ability visibly more effective.

The charm effect wears off when the deer is damaged, but it can be re-charmed after a short period.

Reindeer

Kingdom: New Lands – During Christmas, Monarchs may find a mount very similar to the stag, the reindeer. For further details, see: Reindeer.
