* The White Stag from the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' books.
** Which was probably derived from the British legends of the White Stag or White Hart. Follow it through the forest and (if you can keep up) it will lead you to your heart's desire (or occasionally a vision of Christ).
* Aside from the example mentioned briefly above, ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' actually uses this quite well beginning in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Prisoner of Azkaban (novel)|Harry Potter]] and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]''. There is a Stag who has a particular significance to Harry. {{spoiler|James Potter's Patronus took the form of a stag and Harry's Dementor-expelling Patronus takes this form as well.}} We'd almost say this counts as an [[Inverted Trope|inversion]]: when the deer shows up, it means the ''villains'' are about to get slaughtered. There is also the case of the silver doe in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)|Deathly Hallows]]''.
* In the ''[[Warcraft]]'' novel ''[[Warcraft: Lord of the Clans]]'', Thrall comes upon a deer who isn't afraid of him, specifically because he's so close to nature. He kills it, and thanks its spirit for its sacrifice.
** Similarly, in ''[[Rise of the Horde]]'', Thrall's father's first kill is a [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|space deer]] that separates itself from the rest of its herd. {{spoiler|This is foreshadowing of sorts: Durotan is one of the relatively few orcs to resist demonic corruption, and that choice eventually gets him killed.}}
