Smart choice, northern border man. Never saying whether you're painting a monster from Terraria or Don't Starve so that both fans are attracted. Absolutely genius. As a fan of both games, I am highly pleased.

It is both, because it’s not pixelated nor does it look drawn. therefore you can’t say it’s only from one

[@connorsproles9239]

For future projects involving deer, or any antlered creature, look up "antlered creature" *shedding velvet.* It should fit right in with your uncanny aesthetic.

[@och70]

Great suggestion. It doesn't cause any pain to the deer, moose, elk, etc., but it's pretty disturbing to look at. Maybe a zombie-themed project?

My 4 year old recently invented a horror game he calls “the eating deer.” He pretends to be a cute woodland creature and then starts gnashing his teeth and trying to eat you. He also insists that you scream about how scary the “eating deer” is before he catches you. I now know exactly what a real life “eating deer” looks like. Thank you.

He probably made it as a part of his Terraria series, because he's doing a series where he makes every Terraria boss. Fortunately, Deerclops is in both games.

Please make more of the monsters!!!!

[@KenzaSheep]

The irony about this 7:16 is that, in Don't Starve, if it becomes night while a Deerclops is making the noises signifying his spawn, he won't spawn. If he spawns right before night, your camp is screwed lol But he also targets structures before the player, so the tent makes perfect sense!

[@mariafreel1910]

Hey Adam. I know you pride yourself in your accuracy, but I notice at 4:41 you called deerclops’s pointy head appendages “horns”. I believe deerclops in fact has antlers. It’s a common mistake, but horns are permanent, continue to grow throughout life, and are almost identical to “head toenails”. Antlers on the other hands are essentially protruding bone, but most importantly, fall off in Spring to be regrown again in time for Autumn/Winter. You’re welcome

Whenever you'll be used LEDs again, could you go a little bit into more depth on how you make the inner workings?

[@CrowSongProductions]

So here's a concept you might find interesting: tensegrity sculptures. Imagine - you can make a dragon chained to another dragon, and make it look like it's actually flying!

[@colbehswatching]

Suggestion: For Christmas, make the Everscream or a Frost Moon piece for the Holidays. I love terraria and the content from this channel, and thought this would be an awesome idea

[@meg2831]

Can you imagine deerclops pulling Santa's sleigh? I mean landing on roofs would be hard without depth perception. That and he would break the roof with his massiveness.

[@theperplexedcat]

Deerclops is a fun boss ngl. It's cool you did this boss because it's not very popular and often skipped in terraria.

[@Cast-Carnival]

because he is a bit hard when you do fight him, but you respawn without the boss fading away, so he's actually easy if you got time.

Oh man Im excited about the build- Will say tho, strongly advice against using the W word for the title. Indigenous people, especially the Algonquian in their beliefs; which is where the idea of the w*ndigo comes from, there is indeed a belief that saying aloud - or even writing the name - would get their attention, which is why people will often avoid doing so. Again, always excited about the conetnt you make, just wanted to bring this up for those not aware ^.^

[@avocadoscorpion]

I would agree, but it's like christians telling you not to say God or use his name in vain. If it is a belief they have, that you don't, you don't have to follow it or agree with it. In their presence, yes, it's respectful to listen and/or comply. But this is not the case, it's a video on making an art piece. Not trying to be rude, sorry if it comes off that way

[@SpicySoulsa]

@@avocadoscorpion you're all good, did not come off as rude at all!!

[@MsFerretQueen]

Ever since Terraria did a crossover with Don't Starve.. I think both games got boosted from the update and QoLs

[@emeraldsdumbchannel]

Deerclops is a pre-Hardmode boss, encountered in the Snow biome at midnight during a Blizzard if at least one player in the world has either at least 9 defense or 200 health, or by summoning it using a Deer Thing in the Snow biome. It will not spawn naturally if there are NPCs too close to the player. Fighting the Deerclops is not required for game progression, but defeating it rewards the player with coins and other useful items.

It is also apart of a colab with the game "don't starve together"

​@@Felixicitywhat was the first one?

[@thimblewood]

​@@marawanharraz2310 The original title referenced/compared deerclops to a being from Algonquin-language tradition. This creature is not supposed to have its name said or spoken, and frankly, it shouldn't be known in the first place - its existence is none of the business of anyone who isn't Algonquin. Unfortunately similar to some other beings from native tradition this being was appropriated by settlers and turned into a horror movie monster, which is callous and deeply disrespectful on many levels.

Hey just something to think about going forward, using the word "wendigo" is considered taboo, and might be seen as disrespectful. I am not Algonquin, or even native/first nations, so you can take it with a grain of salt or ignore me if you want. I've done some reading on the subject and I personally would ere on the side of caution or sensitivity. It's a legend that means something to people, something serious that they probably wouldn't want trivialized. And for what it's worth, I don't think any description I've read of them has them as deer. Like, I know you're not going for historical accuracy here, but that's something to think about for the future too if you wanted.

​​@@cameoflage"They were strongly associated with winter, the north, coldness, famine, and starvation." That is from the wiki for w*ndigo in the folklore section, and I think it describes deerclops quite well although it's not mentioned it probably was based on the modern depiction of a w*ndigo wich is a deer like creature although not accurate to the actual culture from what I've read. Also I know he changed his title and its not relevant anymore but I saw your reply and thought I'd share my opinion.

[@jakekunz5168]

This is very Tim Burton!! I could literally see a short film about this little (big) guy

[@fortnitesexman]

have you ever seen a tim burton film?..

[@WarChimp]

You created a dear-cyclops yet somehow managed to keep the same facial expression that I remember from the old stop motion movies on a Saturday morning (Ray Harryhausen's work?). Great job 😃

[@wotersun]

heads up, in the future, i'd avoid using the term/name "w*ndigo" and stick with 'deer monster' or 'deerclops' for this or whatever- a w*ndigo is specifically a spirit from native american folklore that has a lot of cultural significance to certain tribes. more info is very easy to read up on if you head to the wikipedia page for this thing

[@perytonpred2356]

You shouldn't even be saying the name of that creature, especially not if you aren't familiar with the cultures it's present in. Even the elders don't speak it's name.

Good sculpture as always! I do have to mention one thing though. You're likely unaware but the Native Algonquian speaking tribes for whom the w*ndigo is part of their closed cultural beliefs have asked that people don't use them. Specifically using the word is believed, like in many cultures across the globe, to lend power to those evil entities. It is an issue of cultural appropriation (which is using a culture you don't understand or respect, often for monetary gain) and disrespect (not taking someone else's beliefs seriously because you can't see the problem from your end). Again I am sure you did not do this on purpose or maliciously, but that doesn't mean it isn't appropriation to label your otherwise delightful deerclops as this specific indigenous entity.

[@fortnitesexman]

bro, the wendigo is no more real than deerclops herself 💀

[@Murrfle]

@@fortnitesexman You not valuing a culture, belief, or people does not mean that they have no value and cannot take offense or ask that people stop using certain things

[@fortnitesexman]

@@Murrfle however, i do not believe it's a good idea to respect a culture for the sake of respecting a culture if they take offense to me making fun of the idea of a wendigo, that's on them for not only having such a ridiculous belief, but getting offended when said belief is challenged

[@Murrfle]

@@fortnitesexman Everyone is allowed to have boundaries. You choosing to knowingly push or break someone's boundary is a choice you make, not "their fault" for having boundaries you find inconvenient. The reason I made my original comment was to inform Adam of this specific boundary he likely was not aware of, and explain why this boundary is there so that he can make more informed choices as a person and a content creator

[@fortnitesexman]

@@Murrfle what bothers me is this modern obsession with respecting peoples boundaries to an extreme degree i choose to push or break those boundaries because i don't see any reason as to why i should purposefully restrain myself to please people with an absurd belief how come when a child believes in santa it's considered cute, but when an entire culture believes in a spooky snow person thing it's something you should respect and adhere to and what about schizophrenics? why don't we all respect what they see and believe? the answer is obvious, cause they're crazy and while believing in the wendigo isn't gonna land you in the psychward, it's still a ridiculous belief that doesn't *deserve* respect just because a lot of people think the same thing doesn't make that thing more worthy of respect so respecting the boundaries of silly goobers who genuinly believe in the wendigo isn't an informed choice, it's a stupid one

[@beanzeani2440]

Petition for you to release longer form content in the form of b-roll from your creations with that music you always play in the background so I can have something to play while I paint my mini's and do hobbying. Please, that'dbe amazing!

[@silvercandra4275]

Nice, I'd love to see more of the DST bosses, or maybe even characters!

[@itsfrombeyond]

I'm reading the comments, and its sad that People see deerclops as a terraria boss instead of a boss from Don't Starve

[@thimblewood]

Thank you for changing the title/description, I completely avoided the video because of it. I feel much more comfortable watching now!

[@Catalystwasnottaken]

Thank you for taking the words straight from my mouth.

[@johnnyshortfor]

Adam I can pretty confidently say you didn’t mean to but w*ndigos are a closed culture thing from indigenous Americans, like there’s been decades of Native Americans begging people to not use the name or depiction of them. No harm if you didn’t know, obviously, especially since afaik you’re not American where most of the debate about it happened. Deerclops itself seems to be chill as the creators, again afaik, have deliberately put distance between it and Native American w*ndigos, especially in terms of how it behaves, but even so, calling it by that name is disrespectful of both Native American pleas and their culture regarding them.

[@Pyrolol]

bro pls grow a pair its a cryptid

[@tmob4763]

I think a really cool idea would be some characters from wizard 101, they have a deer knight that would be right up your alley i believe!

[@angryfirefly]

You really captured the, "I'm a giant jerk that loves to destroy all your hard work", -ness of him.

[@Flynnisthename]

Thanks for removing the w word from the title man 👍

[@CarlosCapz]

What w word

[@whispyr_]

hey so,, this is super cool, but i request you at least change the title. this creature is a native creature, not a free-to-use-in-projects cryptid, and they've requested we don't say the name either. thanks,, on an unrelated note, my sibling made a clay thing and i saw your influences in the sculpture lol

[@cameoflage]

As far as I know, the Deerclops itself as it appears in Don't Starve and Terraria doesn't even have anything to do with the legend, since the other thing doesn't look like a deer in the legend (I think that was made up for a movie? I'm not completely sure where the deer association came from).

[@whispyr_]

@@cameoflagei understand that; reading back my comment has made it look like i went "unmake this creature" when that wasn't my intention lol. i just meant this isn't the name to use for it, as a that thing isn't related to the game, if that makes sense

[@cameoflage]

@@whispyr_ Yeah using the name here is really pointless and misinformed. I guess people will call anything that if it's spooky and has antlers these days.

[@ABowlOfRic3]

WOW that fur look on the clay looks so good

[@Tempo_cat]

I love Deerclops from both don’t starve and terraria so this was really exciting

[@jekell4413]

Hey! I know it's not intentional, but the creature w****go is very significant and important to certain native American tribes, and in these cultures it's nature is that you're not supposed to call it by it's name. It's been appropriated, but it's actually very insensitive to call it a w****go. I know it's not intentional, and may have been called such in an inspiration source, but it's still something worth fixing. I know my explanation isn't the best, so I'd recommend researching it if you have the time.

[@HaywireLillend]

I, uh, maybe wouldn't call it a w*ndigo? For cultural reasons. But it's well-made.

[@breadpilled2587]

Deerclops is a better name for it anyway

[@awdigitalart8578]

Just got terraria a couple weeks ago and the deerclops is the only boss I’ve encountered yet. Glad to see my favorite sculptor make something I could connect to

[@nils-peterwihlney8732]

I had nightmares like this as a kid. Thanks for reminding me of them. Except my nightmares involved the scary purple fat ghost lady Morran from Mummintrollet and not Rudolph's estranged and far less fortunate brother.
