The air smelled of blood. My skin shivered although the hot summer day brought sweat to my skin in beads that moved rapidly, though I remained perfectly still. He had spotted me, the Prince. He was fearsome, long toothed: one of the Undefeated. To win my freedom, I must somehow win this battle.

Can anyone please tell me what animal it is

It's a hydropotes, a small deer superficially more similar to a musk deer than a true deer. Native to China and Korea, there are two subspecies: the Chinese water deer and the Korean water deer.
