FFXIV Patch 7.4 added a glitched level 1 "nothing" antelope deer mob — naturally, it's being worshipped cult-style, and even the devs are in on it

Patch 7.4 of Square Enix's popular MMO Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) released earlier this week, bringing players across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation a continuation of the story of Dawntrail along with new raid content, a removal of class-based restrictions on glamour fashion, and more. Alongside all of this, though, the update also introduced a curious critter to Coerthas.

The Known Issues section of the patch notes mention "an issue with the Coerthas Western Highlands wherein certain enemies erroneously spawn," which drove many players to head to the Heavensward zone and investigate. Not long after, those "certain enemies" were determined to be strange level 1 versions of the area's Steinbock mobs — themselves a variant of the base game's antelope/deer creatures — that don't have names.
