Stantler

Stantler
The Big Horn Pokémon
Type: Normal
Official Registration #: 234
Entry: A deer-like pokémon native to the forests of Johto. Although these tough and tenacious pokémon are purely normal-types, they apparently display odd telepathic and hypnotic properties. When one stares at the black, orb-like growths in the center of a stantler’s horns, an odd sensation overcomes them: some humans have even reported hallucinating as a result of staring directly at these organs. Unfortunately, stantler also tend to be rather aggressive and will charge at anyone who makes eye contact. Also unfortunately, the species has a tendency to misinterpret the act of staring at their horns as eye contact, leading to many an awkward situation for travelers attempting to cross the forests between Ecruteak and Goldenrod Cities, where they’re most prevalent.
