Grandfather

DeerUniverse's picture
This morning in the forest I saw a small red deer talking talking with a deer with a grey pelt and broken antlers, both in a hyacinth patch. Being Spartak, I joined in the fun, dancing and "mooing" and skipping. The strange grey deer ( I call him Grandfather because he looks old), looked like he was eating something off the ground without even rubbing a tree for it. I think this deer was a player in an old version of The Endless Forest. I followed Grandfather around without him seeming to mind much, but what was really strange was that he (or she) had the same picto as Spartak. But I assume that if this player was logged in, I could see what their pictogram looked like. It would probably look different than our modern pictos do now, because it was an old version of the game. Anyway, if you see a grey deer with broken antlers in the forest today, it could be Grandfather.

There are several players who

There are several players who go around as the old deer. You're right, they play one of the first versions of them game on a first generation picto. I believe it's a glitch they can access to make the old deer look. One can also be a transparent ( or "ghost" ) deer, so look out for them as well.

Whoa! ok, thanks for the

Whoa! ok, thanks for the heads up. Its too bad I can't take pictures, because I'm seeing a lot of strange stuff lately, including groups of huge rabbits sitting together in mushroom rings and a PURPLE frog sitting up in the nearest willow to the lake.

purple frog? Never saw that.

purple frog? Never saw that. Purple FAWN, sure.

Yes if you jump off a hill and keep going out a little ways then press ESC, you can "airsit" and if you aim just right, you can land in a tree or on something else, like on days when we have huge flowers and mushrooms. There are occasional weather changes, too. Also your deer CAN turn into other animals, such as rabbits, bats, crows, doves, squirrels, and frogs. They can be different sizes too. Never saw one a different color though.

Nameless can be old deer too.

Nameless can be old deer too. They are just the same players, except they log out of the name to be labeled as a guest.

Yeah! That is so interesting, it looked like a color glitch, but it was too intricately placed for that.

Ooohhh! Coolio! Yes, I

Ooohhh! Coolio! Yes, I recognized your picto; very unique! But I didn't know your name until now. Lady in Red? Simple, yet classy. Smiling
That's strange, maybe that old game user was not logged in yet....
