In-game model of Dorcas Gazelle
Combat[ | ]
The Dorcas Gazelle is a medium animal that appears in small herds. Gazelles are skittish and frighten easily. Gazelles prefer to flee quickly if approached, though they will occasionally attack if fleeing is not possible. The gazelle uses their body and speed to cause blunt force trauma to inflict 
Injury. Being a medium animal and its fearful nature makes it easy to 
intimidate a single animal but a herd is harder. It is recommended to do so holding weapons or with a group of hominids.
If you do decide to attack, use the best weapons you can acquire. Because the gazelle easily runs away, you want the best chance to take down the animal in a single strike if possible or you will end up chasing them down forever. It is recommended to use 
Sharpened Sticks first, 
Sticks next, and as a last resort rocks or hard tools. It is possible to kill the gazelle with a single strike with the correct weapon but be aware it may take a second strike.
Carcass[ | ]
The 
Dorcas Gazelle Carcass provides Mammal Meat and Hard Bone when it is 
butchered. The carcass can be butchered once.
Interactions With Other Animals[ | ]
When different animals get in close proximity to each other, they can attack and kill each other. Animals can fight each other on their own or you can cause them to move nearer to each other to initiate combat. Some of these methods are intimidation to scare them towards another animal, have them chase you and you run past another animal, or perform a dodge and the animal runs towards another animal.
When animals fight each other, a cut-scene will play showing one animal attacking and killing the other. There are a large number of Evolution Feats that deal specifically with trying to cause animals to fight and kill each other.
The Dorcas Gazelle frightens easily and runs away from threats. In herds, gazelles have more confidence but the herd still will prefer to run away when threatened. The gazelle doesn't seek out combat but it can defend itself against some animals as a last resort. The gazelle will only attack if it can't run away and will tend to run over an enemy trying to flee rather than engage in combat.
Can Kill[ | ]
The Dorcas Gazelle doesn't go after other animals. It may fend off an attack from another animal and kill that animal but doesn't seek out combat.
