New Mob Concept:The Deer

Dear Mojang Studios,

I would like to suggest adding deers as a new mob for the Dappled Forest update, since the biome currently does not have any unique mobs.

Deers could spawn in Dappled Forests, Birch Forests, Flower Forests, Taigas, and regular Forests, usually in small groups of two. They would be shy passive mobs with low health, peacefully wandering through the biome and occasionally grazing like sheep. If approached by players or wolves, they would run away.

Deer could drop venison and leather, while bucks could rarely drop antlers. Another way to obtain antlers could be through fights between bucks, where one may naturally lose its antlers.

Antlers could be worn as equipment that provides 4 protection points, but with low durability similar to gold items. They could also give players the ability to dash or ram into mobs, though these abilities would have cooldowns to keep them balanced.

Players could tame deer using golden apples and ride them. Riding a buck could allow players to ram into mobs, while riding a doe could give players a dash ability. Tamed deer could also carry chests and wear deer armour. Deer armour could be found in abandoned camps.

Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion.

Kind regards,
