### Wendigo

The Wendigo's head is a tan deer skull with no highlights in the eye sockets with a slightly lighter red ring beneath them. The skull has shadows beneath the eye sockets and on the sides of the snout. The nose is dark red. Small pale orange cracks can be seen at the top of the head, although they're very hard to see. The Wendigo has two sets of tan horns, the main pair and shorter ones on the beside the first pair. Both pairs of horns are very twisted and pointy at the ends. The Wendigo's body is very very dark red, being much brighter red behind the head along with additional fur. Its body is considerably furry, and has a tan bony spine with 10 ribs on its back. The tail is thicker than in the other skins.

### Deer (#GoldenAge)

Its ears are large and of a lighter shade compared to the rest of its body, while its antlers are even lighter, being a remarkable tan color. The Deer now has a reskin and has white spots and the horns are longer with more bifurcations.

### Doe (#GoldenAge)

The Doe looks the same as the Deer, except she has no antlers or white spots on her back. The Doe also has a middle line and two curvy side lines on her body, similar to the Rhino.

The Older/Legacy deer is a small brown circle with a stubby tail, rectangular based antlers and floppy ears with large eyes.

### Oldest

The Oldest deer is a plain brown circle with two eyes and two rectangular shapes above the eyes, representing antlers.

## Strategy

#### Upgrading

When you evolve to Deer, try to find a Mud patch that is empty, without any predator or prey that's Pig tier or above. Dig there in order to find the best food, such as Lilypads, Raspberries and others. Any other animal can steal all your precious food, which is why it's best to find a secluded spot. If you see one nearby and you are digging, stop digging, eat what you dug, and switch places. Another benefit in digging in mud is that you will not run low on water, and the food there is more XP-rich.

##### Best foods to eat

Generally, if digging up is not an option (either crowded server or you can't find a suitable place), then the best way to level up is Raspberries, Lilypads, and brown mushrooms. Try shooting water at the red mushrooms. They give a decent amount of XP. The listed items above can commonly be found in Lakes. It is also suggested to eat Ducklings in lakes, as they provide very substantial XP and are a reliable source of it. However, they can be a nuisance to chase after if you have no time, as well as being too darn cute.

##### Tail biting

One other XP-gaining strategy is to wait in a hiding hole, and tail-bite a predator when it comes past. Ideally do so in a small hole, as predators would be less expectant of someone to bite them from there. Biting predators such as an Eagle or Rhino will be most beneficial, since theoretically their XP will be enough for you to progress to the next tier.

#### Predators

Since Deer are low on the food chain and with minimal XP, no big animals should target you. However, don't count on it. Even so, animals such as Hedgehogs, Peacocks or Foxes may chase you down. If that happens, just run. Run to a hiding hole or a place where you can fit through but your predator can't. If your predator is a Fox, note that running into a hole is not a good idea as they can pull you right out with their ability.

##### Escape flaws

When running from predators in general, avoid mud and water as you either cannot go through them, or you are very slow in them. However, an exception is water spots as you do need water pretty frequently. As the Marsh Deer or Doe, escape certain predators on hills. However, Peacocks can also climb hills, so the safer place to hide is a hole in that case.

## Trivia

* It was originally unable to eat berries.
* It used to be a herbivore and could not eat other animals prior to the November 21, 2016 update.
* On March 24, 2017, Deers and Foxes swapped tiers.
* The deer has an unreleased ability, called "deerHoof." It must be related to the donkey's ability. The unused deer hoof looks like this     . The Deer hoof file is used and visible when a Marsh Deer digs in mud.
* Unlike its Arctic counterpart, the Reindeer, it cannot control itself on ice.
* When the Marsh Deer uses its ability, the jumping animation looks the same to that of the Gazelle's leaping ability.
* Around late 2019, there was a glitch where the Deer could dig up heaps of Red mushrooms, providing even 1M+ XP from a single digging spree.
* The Deer is certified to be a male as it has antlers. The Doe (does are female deer) is a female.
