A tale from The Native American Ojibwe Tribe The Deer Woman was a Shapeshifting creature. Said to present herself as a beautiful woman, she was said to have the eyes of a Doe and the hooves of a Deer. She would use her charms to entice young Warriors to go with her when she would promptly stomp them to death!. One way to avoid her was to maintain eye contact with her hooves. This will embarrass her and The Deer Woman will run away!
