deer + frog + avian + unknown extraterrestrial influence
Maxillary teeth (cone teeth) around the upper edge of the jaw and vomerine teeth on the roof of their mouth.
Cervine body, neck, tail, and head
Frog feet and parts of legs possess the joints of a frog
4 frog eyes
Size 19 (approx)
Colorful body is coated in mucus-like substance (poison), as a result they appear very glossy and shiny.
Some fish-like scaled in multi-colors scattered around body.
Will have antlers of some sort but idk what kind yet alskdjf
Behavior
Entire body is always in motion/twitching- similar to that of a finch.
Neck and legs are especially flexible, able to twist in odd positions without pain.
Their hearing is very poor, most things sounding distant and gurgled, like being under water.
Mouth is often agape ever so slightly, as they rely on their other 4 senses to understand their surroundings. Also, their long tongue flicks out of their mouth (like a snek) to guide them.
All 4 eyes blink and function separately from each other.
Sight is god awful. Their color cones are not built for the forest. As a result, they might not be able to recognize others (their pictos) as quickly and will generally have a slower time recognizing where they are.
They are only half-aware of the deadly poison they possess. When they are, they will stand far from others and communicate at a distance. Sometimes, they will forget especially if their curiosity of others overwhelms them. Therefore, always be wary and those who are sensitive to scents should not stand even a foot close to them, as even their odor can be deadly to certain individuals.
Though the creature can strike imminent death upon those who touch them, they can also willingly change their poison to a lesser dosage that acts as a very strong painkiller called
epibatadine, a substance much stronger than morphine. However, the creature can only willingly change this via the substance on their webbed feet-- when not distracted or oblivious to other things that catch their interest. By default, the rest of the poison that coats their body is deadly and one should never touch it.
Will often follow (most times, indiscreetly) those they find interest in before approaching head-on.
They can be frightened away. However, being a living-poison, if one chooses to attack them it would likely be
their funeral.
Can't really speak because of their small teeth and existing difficulty to understand others. Will often make an effort to speak, and otherwise give grunts/moans/calls.
It is unclear whether the creature does not understand morals and ethics, or simply does not follow them. This is likely to become clearer as time goes on.
Spends a lot of time grazing through fields to eat invertebrate bugs. Occasionally will eat very small mice and squirrels.

Inspiration
The idea of IT came from the concept of being thrown into a universe in which one does
not belong. Out of one's element, constantly uncomfortable, scared, or anxious in a place that is now home. Discovering, learning on the go in a world both nightmarish and beautifully ethereal. An inescapable and eternal fight for survival.
“There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes.”
- August Strindberg
"My stare drank deep beauty that still allures.
My heart pumps yet the poison draught of you.
Poise of my hands reminded me of yours."
- William Empson, The Complete Poems
“Slowly the poison the whole blood stream fills.
It is not the effort nor the failure tires.
The waste remains, the waste remains and kills."
- William Empson, The Complete Poems
“Do you remember? Do you remember the world before the poison?”
- Amy Reed, Clean
“Life is full of traps: Poisons can be sweet; darkness can shine!”
- Mehmet Murat ildan
"The sweetest poison doth often bring the surest death."
- Richard Baxter, The Saints' Everlasting Rest
