The Giant Stag[nb 1] (known as the Giant Beetle prior to New Leaf) is a bug in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Doubutsu no Mori. It is extremely similar to the Stag Beetle – especially in its appearance in Wild World – with the only differences being that the Giant Stag is a bit darker and bigger.
