What is The Deer?

The Deer is the main antagonist. It is not a fight you win. Campfire light is the safe circle. A flashlight is the tool when you are caught outside that circle. On night 1 it comes to camp and does not attack. From day 2 it attacks in the dark if you have no flashlight. Damage notes vary with the day count and with a hungry state, so there is no single health value.
