CURRENT APPEARANCE:
Peter could not possibly be mistaken for human even at a brief glance. Aside from being deathly thin, he has the antlers of a fallow deer, though not a particularly impressive set as far as that species goes, digitigrade legs ending in hooves, and a long tail. His fingernails have become black claws, both his upper and lower canines have been replaced by fangs, and his ears are those of a deer. The skin of his face has the pallor of the undead, and much of the rest of him (face and belly excluded) is covered by short brown fur in a dark shade that matches his original hair, broken up by white spots. The hair is longer on his back, where the hair on his head continues down his spine as a mane, as well as on his tail. He smells kind of gross, what with being dead and all; the scent is stronger when he is in a warm place.

ABILITIES AND VULNERABILITIES:
Peter has very keen night vision and directional hearing. His extreme sensitivity to light makes him very unlikely to venture out during the day; even with sunglasses he finds sunlight not just painfully but blindingly bright. He is immune to the cold, and indeed feels most comfortable at low temperatures. Fire will hurt him badly, but even being exposed to high temperatures within human tolerances for too long will cause patches of necrotic flesh to break out across his body that heal slowly once he's returned to cooler temperatures.

Peter can turn into a fallow deer at will, but his clothes do not transform with him.

CYCLICAL CHANGES:
Peter will shed his antlers in February and September; the new antlers will begin growing within days and will always take one month to grow in. They grow in much the same manner as a real deer's antlers, though faster. While growing, they are somewhat spongy, particularly at the tips, and remain covered in velvet, which he sheds at the end of the month's growth.
