The Hochne

History
The Hochne (HOCK-nee) is a little-discussed cryptid that wanders the Deepriver Forest. Their first sighting by settlers traces back to 1767, but both the Ojibwe and Dakota Sioux tribes in the area have told tales of the Hochne for centuries.

In both the 1950s and present day, there has been an uptick in disappearances in the area. It has been blamed on the Hochne by some.

Description
The Hochne is said to be a fearsome and solitary creature, not at all friendly to those who tread upon their grounds. They are said to be vaguely humanoid in shape, between eight and nine feet tall, with the hooves and antlers of a white-tailed deer. His fingers are adorned with massive black claws, and his face is said to be more deer-like, but with human eyes and sharp teeth.

Based on eyewitness reports, the Hochne is said to be both inhumanly fast and inhumanly strong. They are known to be territorial, and can be vicious if challenged or if hungry.

Hochne Tape
Owned by Professor Sean Guthrie, the Hochne Tape features someone dressed as a deer running through the woods. It is possibly the same VHS tape mentioned on Sam's blog.
