Even though she was raised as a hunting dog, Auburn's deer side gives her an almost constant feeling of unease and fear. Her sweet disposition and quiet personality make her the best companion for most people. Unfortunately, Auburn now lives by herself in the wilderness. Her owner was trampled to death while they were out Elk hunting. He suffered from a collapsed chest and broken neck. Auburn fled the scene and hasn't made contact with any humans since.

The species itself started off as a genetics experiment. After years of successfully breeding two species, the test subjects escaped and started to mate in the wild. Berries consist of most of their diet, yet at times deerdogs are known to eat meat.
