This is your irregularly-scheduled reminder that the Not Deer is NOT the same thing as a w-d-go, is not meant to be conflated or compared to the w-d-go, and that OP of the Not Deer story actively disavows people disrespecting Native American culture by doing so. The two have nothing to do with each other.

People of TikTok please learn about some wildlife diseases before you start labeling every cervid with abnormal behavior/appearance a Not Deer.

Cryptids & Creatures of Folklore Drawtober Day 4 — The Not-Deer

Many stories have been told of people encountering deer that are just...not quite right. Some of these Not-Deer are said to walk on their hind legs, others appear to have extra joints in their limbs, some have forward-facing eyes like a predator, and other have mouths that split back just a bit too far.

Whatever they are, it's probably for the best if you just keep your distance from them.

Not Deer Phenomenon

Humanity has many "powers"—yet again, I fail to bring myself to explain the quotation marks. As the humans would say, figure that shit out yourself—, and to me their uneasiness is one of the most fascinating.

Maybe it's a result of their Paranoia, but humans just know when something isn't what it looks like. They can absolutely be deceived, of course, and the ability to detect deceit varies greatly from human to human. But when something doesn't look, doesn't sound, doesn't taste, doesn't feel right, then you can count on it not being right.

"Something wrong is not right" they joke

Deathworlders instincts, most likely. Many have explained to me they just feel it "in their guts". They have also explained to me about the "uncanny valley", and how they're wired to recognize not-humans, which usually tend to be corpses or people who have lost their minds to diseases like rabies.

But that "power" goes well beyond recognizing "not-humans". They call that the "not deer phenomenon", and bring forth many tales—as they do, yet another "power"—of such.

"It'll look like a deer, sound like a deer and act like a deer. But then you keep looking, you keep listening, you keep watching, and..." they always pause here to make sure I'm following "... Well, something is not right. It's going to be something minimal at first, something you only notice when you're really looking"

"and then?" I ask, no matter how many times I've heard some variation of the exact same words

"When you see one thing, suddenly you're seeing all. What starts with you noticing that the legs are a bit too tin, ends with your hair standing up and your heart speeding up because you can see it now"

"The not deer"

"The not deer"

"And do you know what it is?" I ask, knowing the answer

"Nope. No idea. Could be a shapeshifter, could be a skin walker, or an illusion. Whatever it is, what's left to do is to leave without looking back and pray it didn't notice you saw."

Needless to say, many shifters have complained about being found out by humans.

Yoooo just thought of the idea that, if Alastor spent some time on earth during his disappearance, how many times have people mistaken him for a "not deer" (as in the cryptid)? I wouldn't be surprised if he could be able to shape shift, considering his slight contortions and his incarnation in Zoophobia, which while no longer relevant, Vivziepop said that he could still have a deer form he rarely uses.

So my current joke theory/headcanon is that he spent the entirety of those years tricking humans into contracts and tormenting random hunters as a not deer. No one can change my mind (except for canon content, of course, lol).

Seeing Not Deer merchandise and crafts and things for sale never fails to warm my heart and blow my mind at the same time. Like you go big guy, you’re completely out of my hands at this point inspiring art in strangers, and now I’m running into you in the wild in real life
