Stags/Deers: Elf-like creatures in the series?

We've already seen lots of creatures in the series, but it would be also good to see MLP's variant of the elves like stags and deers. Do you want to see them in the series?

Well, the comics have already went into this territory with deer being somewhat similar to LotR elves who have their own kingdom. And their designs are just divine! I would LOVE to see them in the series in the future; if at all possible.

Treehugger would have the grandest time with them

As long as the ponies are still welcome.

You also have hostile elves who doesn't think very good about others. Could be a interesting story for an MLP episode; A group of Stags who don't approve that a pony is the ruler of Equestria and want to replace her with someone of their kind. A bit Thalmor-like.

That could be interesting. Maybe Pinkie breaks out the old 'gotta share, gotta care'...or maybe not.

 

I sort of considered Unicorns vaguely elf-like, especially before the 3 tribes united. What with the affinity for Magic and general Holier-than-thou/other races smell attitude. But this could be cool.

And making them rage since the arrogant ones are easily triggered :lol: .

Imagine the show centered around stags/deer from the beginning...

Would we have all gotten in to it?

 

Also, I do like the design of the deer in the comics, I could see me being a Breeny.. or whatever the term would have been. :P

Now I want to see Doubloon as a deer.....

 

That drawing is awesome looking! I'm not sure if I'd watch the show if they were deer. I most likely would for the same reason I watched MLP FiM in the first place, to see why the show was so popular.

The designs? Yes.

 

The portrayal (excluding Blackthorn)? ...Um...

Deer are nice and all but I like my forest protectors with a bit more bite. Since forests are governed by nature outside Equestria it would only be natural for them to be quite alien to ponies in philosophy, magic, and form. Deer can still represent elves: a link between civilization and the untamed unknown, however, they should hold no power over it nor should they serve as protectors of its secrets.

Welp, now I know that I've been missing out by not following any of the comics >.>

This seriously does look cool, though. Anyone know if the deer could use magic?

I don't think it applies to the show, though, since those deer just seem like animals.

Which is a shame, because ever since the fanfic "It's a Dangerous Business", I was a fan of the idea of all hooved species being sentient.

To be fair, there are actual, non-sentient horses as well:
