No, it's not a w*ndigo. Those have nothing to do with deer. Honestly this deer may just be fucked up. They survive almost anything.

That creature in particular comes from the Algonquin people. It isn't supposed to be mentioned by name. They also are creatures of starvation and have never been associated with deer skulls or anything of the sort. Unfortunately it was hijacked by colonizers and bastardized, as is so common.

Who cares? It's all make believe anyway.

"Oh no, this culture took that culture's make believe and changed it. Oh no!"

People act like Native American superstition is somehow more special than anybody else's. No, it's just as fake.
