The Aurora Stag is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Snow biome during the Aurora Borealis and while the quest "Taming the Stars" is active. It walks around passively and occasionally idles in place. If the player is within a 16-tile radius of the Aurora Stag, it will become alerted, stopping in place and turning to face the player's direction if facing in the opposite direction. The Aurora Stag does not attack or damage the player in anyway other than sensing them as a potential threat.
While alerted, a blue exclamation mark appears above its head which will indicate that the player is getting too close to the Aurora Stag. The exclamation mark will gradually fade in or out depending on how close the player is to it and increasing in size while the player is moving. If the player moves away out of the Aurora Stag's detection radius, it will return to its normal behavior. If the player attempts to jump or fall while within a 3-tile radius of the Aurora Stag, it will become scared. When scared, it runs in the opposite direction while passing through tiles before eventually fading out and despawn. While running away, it emits visual blue star particles from behind it.
If the player has an Ice Berry in their inventory while hovering their cursor on the Aurora Stag without startling it, a moving Ice Berry will appear on the cursor. Upon clicking the ⚷ Open / Activate key on an Aurora Stag with the Ice Berry will consume it and a unique cutscene will play out where the Aurora Stag will disappear and drop the Aurora Saddle in return.
