Hah, that's the first (serious) glitch I've seen in about an hour of watching. It periodically respawns in a random part of the world, and looks like it had the bad luck to respawn in a mineshaft this time.

I'm actually surprised it doesn't get stuck more often in other situations. Its controller seems pretty good at avoiding it.

What if it doesn't respawn, but instead a new deer spawns and the camera moves to follow that new deer? Eventually, the deer could multiply then overrun the world!

I didn't know there were mineshafts in GTA:V - where is it located?

Too bad he can't use his antlers...

It looks like it can or is maybe learning to. Two guys were standing on the sidewalk and it just murdered one with its antlers or possibly a head-butt. It was about to go for the second but suddenly re-spawned in the airport for some reason.

Afterwards i saw it too... I wonder of those are se pre-programmed actions or he is actually learning...

I saw it clip a pedestrian with it's antlers. I don't think it was deliberate. Still, there was blood.

The animals in GTA:V do have attacks (sharks, dogs and mountain cats bite, etc). If you use a mod to play as an animal it becomes your melee attack.

Modding support in the GTA series is excellent, and has spawned a large community. It's refreshing to see as locked down games with DLC sold for extra are becoming the norm, with a few notable exceptions such as the Fallout series.

I've been having a lot of fun using a police mod where you can spawn FIB elite units that are allies. It'd be great to command an animal army as well!
