Wooden Deer
Once the gentle spirit of the grove, the Primal Wooden Deer has become the embodiment of nature’s fury unleashed. Its horns shimmer with ancient sap, striking with both grace and brutality, each blow echoing the pain of a wounded forest. When driven to rage, it summons its kin from the roots and earth, turning the battlefield into a living thicket of vengeance. In its Forest Wrath, even the ground rises to obey - waves of energy tearing through intruders as the deer’s furious heartbeat shakes the world. To face it is to challenge the will of nature itself.

Tactics
- Tanks should track every fourth swing and be ready to reposition the boss before the Ground Stomp.
- All players must move away after the third hit to avoid the incoming Stomp - use movement abilities if necessary.
- Melee DPS: stay behind the boss to dodge the Stomp but stay alert to sidestep the Charge.
- Healers and ranged: avoid clustering in front - bait the boss’s Charge by briefly approaching then stepping out of its path.
- After Ground Stomp, the Charge is instant - sidestep left or right to avoid being hit.
- Charge targets the top-threat player within 8 meters, or the next-highest if that player is out of range.
- Players hit by Charge trigger Call of the Wild, so minimizing hits reduces additional adds.
