Wyrdeer may be based on a {{wp|reindeer}}, or the {{wp|Yezo sika deer}}, a subspecies of the {{wp|sika deer}} native to Hokkaido (where Hisui is based on). Much like how Wyrdeer is treasured by Hisuian people because their fur makes for a useful clothing material, the Yezo sika deer is considered important to the indigenous {{wp|Ainu people}} of Hokkaido — they are hunted for their meat and hide, the latter of which is used to make clothing. Due to its white beard-like mane and eyebrows, it also resembles an elderly man or {{wp|Santa Claus}}. Its antlers resemble {{wp|shishi-odoshi}} or {{wp|Antenna (radio)|radio antennae}}. | Wyrdeer may be based on a {{wp|reindeer}}, or the {{wp|Yezo sika deer}}, a subspecies of the {{wp|sika deer}} native to Hokkaido (where Hisui is based on).
