Stéphanos Eoforwine, a one-shot character for a campaign a few years back. He was essentially just fantasy Steve Irwin, with a +20 animal handling thanks to a custom magic item, "the Shorts of the Crocodile Hunter."

I wanted him to be searching for something ridiculous, so he was on the hunt for "the mighty tree elk." It's a species of elk he heard about. Rumor says they're a a ompletely ordinary elk in terms of size and appearance, but they live in the boughs of trees, somehow.

Well, at one point I took an animal handling roll to see if he could find any tree elk. And I got a nat 20. It turns out, Stéphanos's animal handling was so high, that he could literally will entire species into being if he rolled high enough. Tree elk weren't a thing before that day, but they were after!

Through the rest of the campaign, the DM would occasionally make a call back by mentioning you looking up and seeing an elk leap from tree branch to tree branch.
