This stag and doe concept sketch from Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb brings up a few questions. Do common Elks carry weapons or is this particular stag a guardsman? Discuss.

Fun fact: In North America the animal called an elk is usually a Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), while in Europe it refers to a Moose (Alces alces). At least that is what the Wikipedia article says. Who knows what the derivation of the Elks in the game is... Again, discuss.
