White Reindeer may refer to either a genetic mutation different from albinism or the smaller, whiter subspecies of reindeer living further north. To camouflage, the northern populations have a whiter coat to blend in with the snow while the ones living further south are darker to blend into the landscape of the tundra. Due to less available food, the northern ones are also smaller.

Reindeer are special among deer as both sexes grow antlers; males begin in to grow them in March and April while females start in May or June. The males use them to fight over the right to mate and they will shed them after the mating season in late autumn. Females will keep their antlers for a little longer until just before growing a new pair allowing them to use them to dig into the snow and ground to find nutritious roots and other food.

The Reindeer was domesticated by the peoples around the north pole, like the Saami. It is very important to the survival of the peoples, as they provide fur, meat and bones used for clothes, shelter, food and tools, but also as beasts of burden to carry packs and pull sleds. They're the only domesticated species of deer.

Kemono Friends' White Reindeer first appeared as a capsule figure alongside Reindeer, Narwhal and Polar Bear. She looks identical to Reindeer with the exception of their colouration. As the name suggests, White Reindeer is almost entirely white, with only her skirt, bootlaces and highlights on her antlers being brown as well as the ribbons in her hair, and her gloves being pink. The bell on her neck is silver as opposed to Reindeers golden bell and both her eyes are the same colour as opposed to Reindeers heterochromia.
