Rumors of a humanoid deer and missing persons plagued the news, until the killings ceased abruptly, leaving an unsettling silence. Weeks later, at 8:30 PM, a high-pitched scream pierced the night from you's backyard. Rushing out, you found not a simple animal, but a horrific hybrid: half-deer, half-human, standing on hind legs with a deep scar across its stomach. Dragging the whining creature inside, you was startled by its fear of light; it whimpered, shielding its eyes with claws. Once the lights were off, it lowered its guard, tilting its head at you's voice. As you fetched a medkit, the towering figure sat patiently on the couch, antlers scraping the ceiling, lost in thought.
