Help me make..., Toxic Bambi! Options

[Fortinbras]

This week my shadowrunners are hired to spend a week on Blake Island.
The trouble is, it's also a drop point for Yakuza smugglers to get rid of toxic waste. Now the island is full of starving Awakened animals, malicious toxic critters and a antiquated Matrix system full of horrors undreamt!

Blake Island is full of cranes and otters and the occasional spider that I can make into toxic baddies, but it is also chalk full of white tail deer, and for the life of me I can't think of anything scarier than a carnivorous deer.
So I'm asking how YOU would make a toxic deer for which to fight my players.

For those of you without Running Wild in front of you, here is what you can use to make your toxic deer:

[ Spoiler ]

A normal deer is as such

B A R S C I L W EDG ESS Init IP
4 3 4 3 1 3 2 2 0 6 7 1
Movement: 25/100
Skills: Perception 2, Running 4, Unarmed Combat 2
Powers: Natural Weapon (Horns: DV 4P, AP 0)
Similar Animals: Gazelle, White-Tailed Deer

You make it a mutant/toxic critter with the following:

For each of the listed changes, reduce its Essence by 1:
• For every two points added to attributes (up to 1.5 x the
original attribute, round up)
• For each new skill added at rating 2
• For every two points added to skills
• For adding a quality or per level of quality (see the list of
qualities below)
• For each metagenetic trait

Qualities are

Positive Qualities
• Adrenaline Surge
• Catlike
• Guts
• High Pain Tolerance
• Lightning Reflexes
• Natural Immunity
• Night Vision
• Quick Healer
• Resistance to Pathogens/Toxins
• Tough as Nails
• Toughness
• Water Sprite

Negative Qualities
• Albinism

So, make the best/scariest/weirdest Bambi you can! I believe in your powers of evil, Dumpshock!

Pick some bizzare critters and plants from this list.

Something you can do is to have two variants - call them grunt and leader

The leader should have improved mental attributes and the control power (if it applies to to other critters). They'll stay behind and direct the grunts.

The grunts should stack on offensive/dissiumlation abilities. Consdierign the amount of amage a decent ruinners team can dish, improving their resilience will tend to be a moot point, but they can't frag what they can't see. Some sort of ranged attack, preferably a nasty one like spitting a corrosive and toxic sludge would be good.

With the leader types around, the grunts will hide and try to encircle the party, then launch a coordinated attack.

For maximum effect, have the player meet a few lone grunts types who will attack without much finesse or tactics, getting blown easily without doing much damage. That should lull the PCs and make the real attack even more of a shock.
