The White Stag in Falkreath Hold

The White Stag is a unique animal which appears during the quest Ill Met By Moonlight. It's much larger than a normal deer, and its fur is much lighter as well.

According to Sinding, the stag roams Falkreath Hold while Hircine awaits a hunter skilled enough to kill it. However, the stag does not appear until the related quest is started.

After killing it, the Aspect of Hircine will appear over its corpse. You must speak with it to continue the quest.

Notes

• Despite being an incarnate form of Hircine, you can soul trap it.
• During the quest, the White Stag is referred to in your journal as the "great beast".
• Unlike regular elk, the White Stag regenerates health quickly, which can make killing it tough.
• Despite its unique nature, it drops standard elk fare: venison, hide, and a chance at large deer antlers. Both the antlers and the hide are also of the standard color, not white.

Bugs

• The body of the White Stag doesn't seem to disappear.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.3.2, fixes this bug.
• The White Stag may occasionally run past the map boundaries and become unreachable.
  • This can be resolved by moving the White Stag using Console Commands.
