white stag
Pale forest phantom
A white stag is a deer with white coloring, whether albino or leucistic.
In mythology and folklore, white stags appear as supernatural creatures—elusive, uncatchable, often serving as guides or omens.
Arthurian legends feature knights pursuing white stags that lead them to adventure or revelation.
The image persists in fantasy literature and games as a symbol of the mystical or unattainable.
