Deer is a Forest Monsters creature in Valheim with 10 health. The numbers above are the ones the game never shows you: how fast it moves against your own speed, how much damage inside one window it takes to stagger it, whether smoke and fire do anything to it, and the spawn rule behind the biome — an interval, a chance and a cap per zone.

Deer FAQ
How do you kill Deer in Valheim?
No effect: Chop, Spirit, Pickaxe. Health is 10, so the right damage type matters more than raw weapon damage.
What does Deer drop in Valheim?
It drops Deer Meat (100%), Deer Hide (100%), Deer Trophy (50%). Chances shown are for a plain kill; starred variants multiply both the amount and the chance on anything that scales.
Where does Deer spawn in Valheim?
In Black Forest the game rolls for one every 100 seconds with a 50% chance, up to 4 alive in a zone at once. Valheim worlds are seed-generated, so there is no fixed location: the rule is what is fixed, not the place.
Can you outrun Deer in Valheim?
Not by running. Deer runs at 7 and so do you, so a straight line never opens a gap: you need terrain, water or a door rather than a sprint.
Can Deer be staggered?
No. Deer never staggers, however hard the hit lands, so there is no opening to make and nothing to set up. Trade on your own terms instead of waiting for a window that cannot come.
