The November fifteen update for 99 Nights in the Forest introduced one of the most surprising story moments in the game.
The deer, a creature players have always seen as peaceful and harmless, is suddenly found severely injured at the start of each run. The update immediately raised one big question. Who attacked the deer?
This guide explains the full mystery, every clue, every quest step, and the identity of the creature responsible.
What Triggered the Mystery
When players enter the game after the November fifteen update, they see a new cutscene. It shows the deer being struck by something fast and powerful.
Only one part of the attacker is visible. A pair of bright pink bat wings flash across the bottom corner of the screen before the deer collapses near the campfire.
This short scene sets the tone for the entire update. Something unknown, airborne, and dangerous has entered the forest.
The Deer’s Injury Explained (99 Nights in the Forest)
After the cutscene, the deer can be found lying on a damaged patch of ground east of the campfire. The severity of its wounds makes it clear this was not a simple fall or accident. The attacker wanted to harm it badly.
Visible injuries
• one antler ripped off entirely
• the second antler cracked
• a broken leg twisted at an unnatural angle
• several deep claw like wounds across the body
• weakened movement and heavy breathing
These wounds could only be caused by a creature with strong claws, sharp force, and the ability to strike from above.

All Clues Point to a Pink Winged Creature
While the update does not show the attacker in full, the game drops multiple clear hints that lead to the same conclusion.
Clue one
The cutscene shows pink bat wings attached to the attacker.
Clue two
When fully healed, the deer sniffs out the scent of the attacker and begins tracking it.
Clue three
The trail ends at a large cave, far bigger than standard caves in the game.
Clue four
Inside the cave, the unknown creature screams from the darkness. Its cry is unlike wolves, cultists, or forest beasts.
Clue five
During the confrontation, the creature briefly extends its wing from the cave entrance. The wing is the same pink bat wing seen in the intro.
From all these clues, the attacker is confirmed to be a new pink winged creature introduced in the update.
The developers have not revealed an official name, which is why the community currently refers to it as the pink bat wing monster.
The Full Quest to Help the Deer
If players choose to help the deer rather than leave it, a long and story rich quest begins.
This is the most detailed questline ever added to 99 Nights in the Forest.
Step One: Heal the Injuries
The player must use two bandages.
• one for the broken antler
• one for the deer’s twisted leg
The Medic class makes this step easier due to early access to healing items.
Step Two: Feed the Deer
The deer requires ten to twenty five pieces of steak or morsels.
Each piece heals a small amount until the deer can sit upright.
After receiving enough food, the deer finally stands on its hind legs.
Step Three: Defend the Deer
Two alpha wolves spawn from opposite directions.
They attack immediately, and the player must kill both before they injure the deer again.
Step Four: Give the Purple Fur Tuft
Purple Fur Tufts appear near the deer.
Once given, the deer picks up the scent of the attacker.
Step Five: Follow the Deer to the Hidden Cave
The deer runs through the forest and leads the player to a massive cave.
This cave is much larger than normal child rescue caves and contains a legendary chest inside.
Step Six: The Final Confrontation
Inside the cave, the attacker screams from the darkness.
The deer’s eyes turn red as it enters its hungry mode.
A brief fight occurs, with the creature sticking its wing out of the cave entrance before being defeated.
What Happens After the Fight
The Deer Becomes an Ally
Once the deer wins the battle, it remembers the player’s help. From this point onward, the deer assists the player during cultist raids.
How the deer helps
• it enters the battlefield aggressively in hungry mode
• it kills cultists one by one
• it keeps the campfire safe by scaring them away
• it guarantees full raid protection when present
This is the only time the deer comes fully into the light and fights alongside the player.
The Final Answer
Who Killed the Deer?
The attacker that left the deer injured is a new pink winged creature introduced in the update.
It is a flying monster with bat like wings, high speed, and extremely strong attacks.
The update does not reveal its name yet, but the cutscene and cave battle confirm that this creature is responsible for every injury the deer suffered.
