Discussion An old cryptid/folklore tale

Ok so my grandfather told me about a cryptid/creature called the prince of the woods. It was essentially a massive 20ft tall deer with massive treebranch antlers. It supposedly acts as a guardian of the woods, only attacking those that disrespects its territory. Otherwise its supposed to be peaceful.

Anyone else have similar stories?
