In fairness, humans in Pumpkin Hollow are not quite so full of garbage. Perhaps a bit more lead than was strictly ideal, but far fewer preservatives and microplastics. Not to mention that it's hard to tell what the Pine Devil needs nutritionally, given its absolutely nonsense anatomy. But with that in mind, who's to say?

Either way, it seems that deer make for suitable backup prey. It stalks one for a short time, then pounces on it with claws out and begins to rip into the creature's belly.

Apparently, it does not eat the entirety of the creature. Just the offal.

And then, it flies off, leaving behind the carcass. Animal bodies remain a fair bit longer than humans before vanishing to regenerate, so the hollowed-out deer will lie there for a while.
