Hunts Strange Beasts

Translation Codex

It's an odd fact that creatures find their way out of the

Strange and its various recursions back into our world from time to time. This feedback loop of life imitating art, in which we fight the real drag-ons of our collective imagination, spawns a very special type of person: those who hunt that which cannot exist.

At times specialized in particular types of impossible creatures, at others merely bumbling into lost things from fiction, they are the hunters we need in this strange and dangerous world.
