So on the topic of monsters I’d like to clarify something:

These things are super sexy and personally I’d love to smooch one. However:

They are not w*ndigo. W*ndigo are a very sacred spirit (equivalent to, like, angels/demons for Christians) and aren’t cryptids that should be discussed in the same vein as mothman and Bigfoot. Traditional w*ndigo don’t even look like these things.

The above art depicts deer-men cryptids, a totally separate creature. So if you like those kinds of monsters, call them by their actual name and leave w*ndigo out of it please.

These deer-men bear semblance to the Sianach of Scottish folklore! Sadly not much is known about the Sianach, as most of their lore is orally passed down and not much is written. From what IS known about them, they’re large, predatory deer. Nothing is said about them having skull heads or being bipedal, however nothing is said otherwise either.
