Physical Appearance
Panigotlo is a large size of deer taller than their relatives, but unaffected by insular dwarfism before submerged in the Philippines during Early Holocene. Their color fur was dense and snowy white, and yellowish on top, black hooves, long fangs on its mouth, black nose, grayish white antlers resembling sambar deer.
On their antlers, where have five digits with luminous biofluorescent veins during midnight.
Abilities
Panigotlo cloaks itself in the light, causing blindness against enemies. When Panigotlo is threatened or provoked, it can wreath itself in light by flashing biofluorescent veins, which is proven to harden its antlers and close their eyes to prevent any seizure.
Panigotlo is the only deer species that has precognition, this ability to identify natural disasters and future threats by using horny noises with their herd, rangale, or their owner if tame. This ability was in the same manner as Bruno Madrigal from Encanto, but in an unorthodox manner. Panigotlo has great agility and can swim faster than normal deer.
Panigotlo, who just turned 18, is the only animal with remarkable, inhuman speed. If at all, it can only be seen while sprinting as a blur. It is incredibly quick compared to other superheroes, almost as quick as a sports vehicle, and quick enough to fix a whole city without anybody noticing it even left.
The panigotlo's agility, balance, and body coordination are improved to superhuman levels if the horns crack. This enables it to move at extraordinary speed and leap great distances with ease.
