Deer woman

 

This is a legendary spirit or cryptid from America, about deer women or deer ladies. These are often in Native American stories concerning a shape shifter who can turn into a deer or a beautiful woman. Some tales describe deer women as having the upper bodies of women but the legs and tails of deer. Other times deer women have bodies of women but they have hooves instead of feet, and the eyes of deer. 

The deer women have been said to enchant weary travellers, summoning men from the woods. They often are told of being dancers, who draw a number of victims by the hypnotic movements. Some men have managed to flee, while it is said these deer women have killed men who were not able to get away. It's said that the smell of tobacco repels deer women.
