In Dungeons & Dragons, a reindeer is a type of beast, typically found in cold environments such as tundras and arctic regions. They are similar to regular deer but adapted for harsh winter conditions, possessing thick fur and large, branching antlers. Reindeer are often used as mounts or beasts of burden by northern civilizations, such as frost giants, goliaths, or nomadic human tribes. They can also be found in herds, migrating across snowy landscapes and serving as a vital food source for predators like winter wolves and yetis.

Mechanically, reindeer are usually classified as non-magical beasts with moderate speed, keen senses, and the ability to traverse difficult terrain like deep snow. In some campaigns, they may have traits such as cold resistance or enhanced endurance due to their natural adaptations. A Dungeon Master may allow a ranger or druid to take a reindeer as an animal companion, emphasizing its ability to carry supplies, track through snowy conditions, and charge enemies with its antlers.

In holiday-themed adventures or whimsical settings, magical reindeer may exist, capable of flight or possessing supernatural abilities tied to winter magic. Such creatures could be celestial in nature, tied to entities like the Archfey of Winter or divine beings representing generosity and travel. Whether mundane or magical, reindeer add thematic depth to arctic adventures, serving as key wildlife, potential allies, or even sacred symbols to winter-worshiping cultures.
