Deer Squad (also known as 无敌鹿战队/Wúdí Lù Zhànduì) is an animated Chinese series in made in collaboration with Nickelodeon and iQIYI. It started as a short series call 'Deer Run, but later became a CGI cartoon under its current name.

The show is about four deer, Kai, Rammy, Lola, and Bobbi, who live in Central Forest surrounding a technological-city which was built by Sir Steel, a greedy man who plans to make room. Together, they help their community by saving the city from crazy robots, inventions gone haywire, and other mishaps.

Tropes used in Deer Squad include:

• Adults Are Useless: Whenever something bad happens, the adults will just panic rather than try to solve the problem themselves.
• All CGI Cartoon
• An Aesop: Every episode has one.
• Animesque: The show's setting has a few anime-like elements, such as the deer having anime eyes and powers that resemble those from anime shows such as Beyblade, or Pokémon. Their character designs also resemble chibis.
• Art Evolution: As the series went on, the show's art-style changed and the CGI improved.
• The Big Race: "The Great Race".
• Base on Wheels: The Deer Squad Rescue Carrier, introduced in "Kai Express".
• Butt Monkey/The Chew Toy: This trope happens to Sir Steel a lot.
• Characterization Marches On: In the original Deer Run shorts, Rammy had a Grumpy Bear personality. This isn't the case in Deer Squad.

  • The deer lived in the city before it was changed to them living in a forest.
  • Lola's fur was originally purple before it became pink.

• Monster of the Week: The deer would have to stop any machine/invention gone crazy from attacking residents and animals in every episode.

  • Ricardo's tail (or Ramona) will get splattered with something as he starts to sob.
  • Kai wildly drives on the lake, annoying Fifi and Sasha as they both get splashed.

  • How come nobody's parents show up in this show (Sans Tina or Ian)?
