How to Play as Deer / Elk in GTA V:
In the Next Gen edition of GTA V, players are able to play as a Deer / Elk by finding one of the Peyote Plants in the game world. After consuming one, the protagonist will temporarily transform into a random animal.
Transforming into a Deer / Elk is required for the "Cryptozoologist" Achievement, and will unlock the ability to play as a Deer / Elk anytime inside Director Mode.
Also, photographing this animal is required for the "Wildlife Photography Challenge" side mission.
