This being appears as a thin white-tailed deer. It has no antlers, but it is difficult to discern the portrayed sex. While it is indeed a being, it is not of the third dimension, though it is constantly perceived by beings on the third dimension. It very rarely interacts with its 3D environment, possibly because it is unaware of it, or because it has gotten used to a certain set of reactions and no longer has the desire to interact. It lacks form, and instead merely occupies the space of a deer as if one had cut a hole out of the world and filled it with static. Perhaps most importantly, it is a portal; the static which composes its form is constantly flickering and produces white noise and faint light, and both the audible and visible effects become clearer as one draws nearer.

When one attempts to make contact with Static Deer, they discover that it is intangible, and is in fact a “hole” in the third dimension—when one reaches into it, they do not emerge through the other side, but rather enter the space within it, which seems to be a great void with static as a backdrop. This realm to which Static Deer is a portal is, in a way, without time. To fall in entirely would result in a being becoming suspended, the exit—in the same shape as they last viewed Static Deer, only now a portal back to the outside—would fall away from them at great speed, and they would constantly be subjected to a feeling of velocity without direction. They would remain in precisely the same state as they’d fallen in, the same degree of hunger and thirst and age, with only the capacity to think and move their body. Even thought is thankfully slowed, though not entirely stopped. Though not harmful necessarily, this is not an ideal way to be. Static Deer does not seek to bring others to this place, nor to remove them. It is a doorway: the doorway does not choose or care who enters or who exits. It simply is.
