Overview
Moonlight Deer is a Super Rare Spotted Deer variant in Starsand Island. Described in-game as "a mystical deer adorned with blossoms and foliage, embodying the heart of nature," this enchanting mount is the rarest deer variant obtainable through breeding. The Moonlight Deer can double jump when ridden, giving it unmatched vertical mobility among mounts.
Important: The Moonlight Deer is not the same animal as the Luna Deer. The Luna Deer is a separate mount obtained from the Moonlit Forest through the Explorer profession. The Moonlight Deer is obtained through the ranching breeding system.

Appearance
The Moonlight Deer is adorned with blossoms and foliage growing from its body, giving it the appearance of a living piece of nature. The floral elements intertwined with its form create a mythical, forest-spirit look. It is by far the most visually elaborate deer variant, standing out even among other rare animals on the ranch.
Double Jump
When ridden, the Moonlight Deer can perform a double jump. After the initial jump, pressing the jump button again mid-air grants a second leap. This makes the Moonlight Deer the best mount for reaching elevated terrain, crossing gaps, and navigating vertically complex areas. No other deer variant (or most other mounts) can match this vertical mobility.

Products
Moonlight Deer produces Deer Antler (a rare medicinal herb sometimes called "soft gold") and Poop (fertilizer). Products are identical across all deer variants.
How to Obtain
Moonlight Deer is obtained exclusively through breeding. Place a male and female Spotted Deer in the same Deer Barn or Selective Breeding House with an empty slot. As the Super Rare variant, the breeding probability is extremely low. Breeding two Rare deer variants (White Deer or Lucky Deer) together may improve odds.
Tips
Spotted Deer unlock at the Senior Rancher rank (1,350 coins from Pastelle). Plan your breeding operation after reaching this milestone.
The double jump makes Moonlight Deer the best mount for vertical exploration. Use it when exploring cliffs, ruins, or any area with height differences.
Do not confuse Moonlight Deer with Luna Deer. The Luna Deer is a Moonlit Forest completion reward and does not have a special mount gimmick.
Deer Antler is a valuable crafting material. Even while using Moonlight Deer as a mount, it continues to produce antlers passively.
