comment
Golden Shrike is a Xenofiction webcomic drawn and written by the artist Doeprince. The Comic tells the story of two deer twins, Nero the stag and Runi the doe, as they leave their herd and explore the wider world around them. They meet new friends their first night out, and at a local gathering of deer, Nero is spoken to by the Great Karuna, who tells him that three of his children, Eve, Loss, and War, have gone missing from the stars and are somewhere on Earth. Their absence will cause the apocalypse, and so Karuna tasks Nero, his golden shrike, to hunt them down, sending him and his friends on a quest.At the same time, however, another group of deer, led by a stag named Antaras, appear to have their own plans for Karuna's missing children.The comic updates every Thursday and currently has eight chapters, with seven completed so far. It can be found either on the artist's Deviantart page, or on Comic Fury.

Cultural Rebel: Nero is forced out of his and Runi's herd for doing this, turning back to rescue a friend and fight a wolf rather than leaving him to die like deer normally do. Kasko also did this to his herd, defying its leader.

Artistic License – Biology: While the deer for the most part work like normal deer (sans their ability to talk and think complex thoughts), doeprince has said that they only gain one pair of antlers their entire life, which grow overtime. Real deer, however, lose their antlers each autumn and regrow them larger in the spring.

Albinos Are Freaks
 Golden Shrike (Webcomic) / int_5552929
comment
Albinos Are Freaks: Usma, one of Antaras's group, is an albino, and is treated poorly by two of the other members of her group. Kasko says that other albinos (which most deer call "blinders") are often pitied, mainly because of health issues and how they tend to die early from either them, or being picked off by predators. The Tongue, a seer on top of a high mountain, is also albino, and is apparently immortal on top of it.

Fantastic Racism: Various deer have stereotypes of one another, but the stonekrovns are seen as monsters and beasts; during their whelping season, particularly brave and foolish deer often come up into their territory to kill their pups.

Brown Note

comment
Brown Note: The speech of gods appears to be like this, if they want to be. Karuna speaks to Nero normally, but when Nero asks if he can't call louder for his children to come home, Karuna decides to roar about how loudly he could call for them and devastate the lands...but won't. The mere act of him speaking this way for a short time causes Nero to get tossed around in the air and left a quivering, shaken mess. Eve also appears to speak like this, as the one time she's spoken, her speech bubble has been black and red with white print.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Golden Shrike (Webcomic) / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Kasko gave one of these to his old herd after they lost a huge portion of their numbers to disease. The herd's leader had previously said that the sick would be glad to die in order to join Karuna in the stars, but Kasko, seeing how the sickly deer called for their friends and family and were scared to go, called all of them out on their abandonment before attacking the sire himself. It was effective enough that many of his old herd become violent on seeing him.

Apocalypse How
 Golden Shrike (Webcomic) / int_91e894b4
comment
Apocalypse How: Seems to be gearing up towards a Class 2 or 3, according to Iralee. With Eve, Loss, and War all unable to fulfill their roles, deerkind will suffer in multiple ways. Any fawns that are born, without Eve to give them life, will be stillborn. Without Loss to take their souls, old deer will continue to linger. And with War out and about, deer will begin to endlessly fight and kill each other. Boneslav mentions that all of the stonekrovn pups in his Mouth were stillborn that birthing season, so it's already starting.

Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: Helevise the godcaller is quite acerbic and doesn't have any respect for anyone but Karuna, though she's at least able to be civil when it comes to deer that don't get on her nerves, like Usma. She has a particular lack of respect for Antaras.

Animal Companion: Each deer is given a "half" at a certain age, a bird that will keep them company as a constant companion for their entire life. They are supposedly blessings to allow Karuna to hear His creations' voices, but also appear to have various biological influences on the deer themselves; two of Antaras's herd killed theirs to demonstrate Eve's power, but in doing so rendered themselves unable to bear fawns.
