Approach
A white deer shares the ordinary deer's Harmony-based wariness. Approach gently and avoid alarming it.
Guidance & gift
Inside Lothlorien, a Friend can offer a Mallorn Acorn to an unleashed, unalarmed White Deer to begin guidance. An injured deer eats to heal instead. Follow it towards a place deeper in the forest, where it gives a Great Mallorn Nut once in its lifetime. Attaching a lead interrupts the walk. If its destination becomes blocked or flooded, offer another acorn to start a new search. Outside feeding does not spend the gift.
