GTA 5 deer becomes star of Twitch, gets in gang fight, flees from police

Meet Edgar; Edgar Allan Doe, deer deity of chaos. He's an immortal cervine living in the world of GTA 5, and over the past 48 hours, he's racked up more than 100,000 viewers on Twitch.

Edgar is invincible and autonomous, meaning not only is no one in control of this god-creature, but he cannot be stopped by earthly means. So far, he's caused a traffic jam on the freeway, got caught up in a gang turf war, and been pursued by police. He has also harmlessly flopped down mountains many, many times. Along with the livestream above, you can check out some highlights of Edgar's travels across Los Santos below:

The coolest thing about this, though? Donations made to the project go to The Humane Society. You're doing good work out there, Edgar.
