Stantler (Japanese: オドシシ Odoshishi) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Stantler is a quadruped, caribou-like Pokémon. It has a tan pelt with a cream-colored belly and a few spots on its back. Its tail is large, short, and round, and each of its legs ends in a black hoof. It has a large, brown nose and a pair of pale cream-colored antlers, each with a black orb in the center. The shape of the antlers and the black orbs causes them to resemble eyes. Stantler can distort reality and create illusions with its antlers by subtly changing the flow of air around them. Staring into them creates an odd sensation, as if one is being sucked through them, and one may become so dizzy that it is impossible to stand.

Its strange antlers are very valuable artifacts to Pokémon hunters. The species was nearly driven to extinction for its beautiful antlers. Additionally, the round balls found on the fallen antlers can be ground into a powder that aids in sleeping. Stantler live in herds in temperate, mountainous forests. As shown in the anime, a baby Stantler that is separated from its herd and frightened will instinctively produce an illusion of a big, stampeding herd to scare away perceived threats.

Trivia

• Stantler is found on Route 36, which leads to Violet City, the game counterpart of Nara, Japan, a city where many tame deer roam freely.

Origin

Stantler could possibly be based on a number of deer species, such as the sika deer, reindeer, elk, or moose. It may also be based on 鹿威し shishiodoshi or "deer scare", a Japanese device traditionally used to scare deer and birds away from gardens.

Name origin

Stantler may be a combination of stag or stare and antler.

Odoshishi may be derived from 鹿威し shishiodoshi.
