Murdeers are a branch of carnivorous ungulates that by quirk of evolution or a fancy of a forest god resemble deers and use their misguiding appearance to hunt both their herbivorous look-alikes and surprise predators that would stalk them.

Murdeers occasionally hunt alone or in pairs, infiltrating packs of deers and tearing them apart up close. Larger packs of murdeers deliberately lure predators to attack them, immediately focusing counterattacks on a single target, while threatening other attackers away.
