The Deerhaunter appears in TimeSplitters Future Perfect as a playable character. The character resembles a large bipedal deer with a flayed body, large antlers, and hooked arms and hooves. The Deerhaunter appears in the Story mode level Mansion Of Madness as the first boss, as a deer head mounted on a wall which then comes to life and breaks the wall down. It seems the illicit experiments at the mansion have caused it to grow a partially-formed body and eventually become animate.

There is a glitch in the fight against The Deerhaunter to make the boss easier; just go into the hole in the wall he came from and he can't reach you.
Trivia[]
- Its name is a reference to the 1978 film called The Deer Hunter.
- Its head strongly resembles the 'possessed' deer mount in a scene in 1987's Evil Dead 2, when Ash seems to temporarily lose his sanity.
- It may also be a reference to the original TimeSplitters story mission Mansion (itself the basis for Mansion of Madness) which had deer heads acting as auto turrets.

- It reuses Bear's sound clips, which are all mere stock bear sound effects.
- The playable Deerhaunter has different stats from its Story counterpart and is scaled down to a smaller size. It is possible to play as the story mode Deerhaunter using Cheat Engine and an emulator.

- In early builds of the game, the Deerhaunter in Arcade is the same size as it is in the story mode.
- It shares its viewmodel arms with Carrion Carcass and Headsprouter.
