Does Shikamaru have a summoning animal?


What is the **summoning of Shikamaru**?

And also, can I get some explanation of his chakra nature? I don't get it, as
Kakashi skips it during Naruto's training for rasen-shuriken.




It is nowhere mentioned the summoning animal of Shikamaru Nara.

A mythological mosnter called "Inoshkacho" had the body of a boar, a deer's
antlers, and butterfly wings.

So it could be assumed that Ino = Boar Shikamaru = Deer Chouji = Butterfly

The Nara clan's forest is located on the outskirts of Konoha, it is a unique
forest within the Land of Fire. Many **deer reside here** as the clan looks
after them and often times use their antlers in medicines
