The alternate ending to Bambi was much more cheerful.

The objects "Injured Fawn" can be really hard to see. I suggest you use /tar to select them. The quickest way to complete this quest is to stay mounted, click on your "Injured Fawn" and fly back to the quest giver. Your "Injured Fawn" doesn't seem to attract aggro and will follow as fast as you can fly.

i had to fly around a few times to get credit. it worked well when i flew about ten yards east of the questgiver.

Comment by nfw73

You can rescue more than one at a time

Comment by 643855

They seem perfectly capable of running behind my 310% flying mount with no problems at all considering they're "injured".

Comment by divinebaboon

I'll give YOU the big eyes!

Comment by Raxiel

They're relatively safe while the elementals are busy being slaughtered by half the playerbase, but don't dawdle leading them back because they can be targeted and killed. I had two following me while riding my flyer on the ground, one got targeted by a mob, the other died (to aoe I think) when I stopped to kill said mob.

Comment by Crupt

1. Click on 3 fawns
2. Mount your ground mount.
3. Run to coords 19 37

(they can be killed by enemies so run fast and avoid getting aggro)

Comment by 37999

Yeah, Charlie! It'll be an ADVENTURE. We're going on an ADVENTURE, Charlie!

Comment by sopor30

The fawns can be a little difficult to see initially, but they tend to be right next to the big rocks and trees. Save yourself some time and find all three before returning to the quest giver.

Comment by BasicPhreak

There was also an Apple II game back in the late 80's by the same name, Oh, Deer! Where you were put in charge of controlling the Deer population near your city.
I "HAD" to play it in Junior High.

Hi,watch how to complete quest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF5HzXu4Roc :)

Comment by HaddonEast

You cant just /tar them, you have to click on them aswel or u will simply lose them, Do'h

Comment by 743943

Thank you to those who suggested using /tar!
I've been flying around trying to get the stupid deer for days. Cheers!

Comment by Lifetapt

Picked up my fawn and started flying back towards the quest giver as it happily followed me.

About half way there I see "-2453 (pet)" scroll past me on my combat text addon. The poor fawn managed to run right over one of the flame jets just as it spouted. :'(

So yeah, please take care of your fawn and don't lead him to a fiery death like I did.

Comment by 530622

Anyone reminded of a certain Disney movie? Here's a hint: deer and forest fire.

Comment by 684644

ohhh the quest giver is so cute <3

Comment by Tarrek

Funny how this quest gives leather armor as reward.

At least you didn't get a pair of fuzzy mittens from the rabbit and squirrel quest..

Comment by Wimbleton

Flying mount works but only to a certain altitude, above which the fawn bails out. So just stay close to the ground and it's not a problem. What altitude? Haven't a clue but you can get high enough to avoid most aggro.

Comment by 532422

Garden of Aessina people make this quest out harder than it really is, tab those 3 fawns, use your flying mount and fly to the garden, get remotely close to the questgiver and voila! your done. I accept donations on paypal.

Comment by 797780

I was fairly stupid at this quest because I was running to the other dryad

Comment by aliasz

As injured as they may seem they can run as fast as your mount and climb the highest mountains . Use that to finish the quest without aggroing any hostiles.

Comment by 755244

i had trouble finding these little critters. the best way to describe it is; next ashen lake. They're like as small as the rabbits and squirrels.Seriously just use your flying mount. lol

Comment by vade365

I did this quest not for the xp, or the items, or the gold, or the rep.

I did it so that Mylune could tell me that I was swell.

oh, and also to save the poor fawns.

Comment by 54591

Quest reward Cloak of Cheerful Flowers is a lie - not a single flower on it. The cloak is actually a drab blue and is anti-cheerful. I use it to smother fawns...

Comment by 720645

Uhh i feel a sudden urge to pee sitting down after doing this quests.

Comment by 560392

Be careful if you're doing Black Heart of Flame, the boss managed to take all three of my fawns out with his ring of fire.

Comment by 834211

To find injured fawns, look for lighter brown spot next to fallen trees. That is where I always find them - They are not running around but are laying down. I hope that this helps everyone.

Comment by 218953

Your sudden strong urge to release is probably due to too much exposure to WEE animals

Comment by Palahniuk

Make sure to put your Toxic Wasteling away, as it will eat the dear while to try to drag them from the flames. Oh the horror!

Comment by 842747

I tried to target the fawns, but for some reason I couldn't. So I fly around and fund them - they are those small deer lying on the ground, in the same place where you were saving the Frighted Animals.

Comment by Tirixian

Oh, Dear! Blizzards Imagination for quests is as great as ever.

Comment by 899614

I was on this quest and I kept noticing my fawns disappearing. Finally I looked back just in time to see my Creepy Crate burping one up. It gave me a good laugh for sure, but I stayed mounted after that so he couldn't get to them.

Comment by 786054

For those who aren't sure, I just want to make this perfectly clear:
You can take all three deer back to the quest-giver at the same time. :-)

Comment by 40769

Found multiple at:

14.7 40.6
13.2, 44.0

They lay on their sides, not moving, next to fallen tree's. The raging firestorms never attacked while I clicked them.

Using /tar inj helps more if you have the minimap setup to show your target location.

Comment by 657097

Do NOT attempt this quest when you have your Creepy Crate summoned !

Comment by Derren

Yesterday I saw a deer. If you solve this next quest, maybe I'll let
you ride an elevator all the way up to Orgrimmar, and I'll tell you about
the time I saw a deer again.

If you're questing with a friend and one of you has a two player mount, the person who mounts on the two player mount will not get their held deer counted, even though they have the buff when returning to Mylune. :( (So make sure the owner of the two player mount is the one who gets all three deer!)

Comment by ForestNymph

The fawns are the little dead-looking animals near the burning trees. It took me a bit to figure this out since they didn't show up with my hunter tracking. When you click on them, you should get the gear wheel and they join your party. You can take all three back at once. You don't have to take them one at a time.
