Lesser known cryptids! Today's cryptid is the Appalachian Not-Deer. These strange creatures are located around the east coast. They're beings that look similar to deer, but just a little bit off. It could be anything from weird legs or glowing eyes, to a long neck or rows of sharp teeth. They can look normal until you get close, when they may attack you.
Scientist have tried to debunk this with the not-too-rare Chronic Wasting Disease. This is where the animal's (mostly deer and elk) skin will literally rot away over the period of about two years. CWD, however, doesn't cause them to have extra limbs.
From the pictures I've seen, I think it could be a mix between a deer and a wolf. Some say it looks less like a wild animal, and more like something pretending to be a deer...
Weather its a crippled Cervidae or an undiscovered terrifying terrestrial, they're interesting to say the least. And If you live in the Appalachian mountain area, be on the lookout for Appalachian Not-Deer.
