royal stag

The hero goes forth to shoot and sees a royal stag, but whenever he raises his gun to fire the animal changes into a woman.

As for his looks, he was not to be matched with Mary's auburn Apollo—one cannot compare a royal stag and a tawny-maned lion!

Remains of the reindeer rare in the hearths; those of the royal stag (Cervus elaphus) abundant.

But Purun Bhagat never moved, and, little by little, the royal stag edged up and nuzzled his shoulder.
