Reindeer, or caribou, thrive in cold weather climates. The typical male reindeer can have a shoulder height of almost five feet, and weighs around 500-700 lbs (females tend to be slightly smaller). Though mostly herbivorous, they have been known to eat lemmings, bird eggs, and even fish. Both males and females grow antlers, and these are the creature's primary defense. The creature is not generally aggressive, but will defend calves vigorously.

The tukkuk, or dire reindeer, is an aggressive beast that feeds off of both plants and carrion. A tukkuk has a shoulder height of six feet, and weighs about 900 lbs.

Scent

The Barbarians of the Frozen Wastes speak of a snow white caribou that patrols the lands. Among the barbarians, Wenkkuk is considered a benevolent entity, and it is forbidden to hunt it should it be encountered. Shamans tell stories of how the beast mysteriously arrives just in time to offer aid: pulling a child from a frozen river, chasing off wolverines threatening a wounded hunter, or some other tale. When caribou herds are difficult to find, the barbarians claim Wenkkuk has hidden them in secret canyon as punishment for some crime the tribe had committed. When hunting is good, it is believed Wenkkuk has rewarded the tribe for honoring the spirits. Adventurers doing harm to the beast will surely find themselves on the wrong side of the indigenous peoples of the area.
