How to Obtain | Breeding two common Musk Deer |
The Black Musk Deer has a deep, dark coat that ranges from very dark brown to nearly black. Compared to the common musk deer's standard brown coloring, the Black variant's fur absorbs more light, making it look like a shadow moving through the underbrush. The build is compact and agile, typical of musk deer, which are solitary by nature and adapted to mountainous terrain.
Place two adult common Musk Deer (one male, one female) in a Musk Deer Barn with an empty slot. Overnight breeding has a chance to produce a Black Musk Deer or a Red Musk Deer. Use the Selective Breeding House for more targeted results.
