Deer tonic?

Today in Ventari's Refuge I saw a guy with the GWAMM title who looked like a deer. Having never seen one before, I thought it was just a form of the Mysterious Tonic, but I checked the wiki and there was no mention of it. How did this guy become a deer?

winner of the wintersday 2009 'art' contest

Ah, thank you. Figured it was some kind of contest prize.

Yep, contest prize. I've still yet to see one in-game though.

100,000,000,000 ectos is my bid!!

Honestly I think the first place winner cheated. I'm not saying this b/c I lost ^^ But seriously.... Look at the dates. I believe the costumes where not given out/shown what they looked like until the contest submission date was over. Therefore- how did someone submit the picture when they stopped asking for submissions?? Basically I think someone got a WAY head start. PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.

Costumes were added December 17th. Contest submission deadline was December 31st.

The costumes were released way before the deadline.

eh the deer tonic is just another e-peen enlarger for those ppl ^^. i mean on my vsf run( i think it was my third one) we picked up a necro w/ GWAMM and he had some henchmen tonic. the problem is you never know if thats the ppl that earned them or had the ectos/pandas/hoardes or armbraces to buy it. but yea ive yet to see anyone w/ that tonic.... they must be ppl that dont play anymore ^^

I think with the Henchmen Tonics it's possible to know .

well its possible to know who ORIGINALLY had it but they might not like theirs or they are greedy adn want ectos. So you might know who originally had it but they might have traded it away so you never know...

if they are doing a VSF and have a henchman tonic, chances are very high that they won that tonic.

i would conjecture that those with the ectos to buy a henchman tonic have long stopped doing VSF runs.
