Golden Stag Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a golden stag! Does this mean I can retire?

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Yes. Yes. The golden stag beetle is quite the prize thanks to its metallic gold coloring.

  But let me speak plainly... The golden stag is NOT made of gold.

  It is made of BUG, through and through. And thus it is vile! Golden stag? Bah! Gross stag is more like it.
