S2E5 - There Could Be Beasties

Episode Notes

Content warning for graphic violence

It is almost refreshing to be back on a job that is as simple as ‘there is a beast; hunt it’.

Viidra fills us in on local lore as we travel, and even Apricus has some knowledge stored away from an old academic paper, so we have some general information on Ol’ Bone Snapper before we head into battle.

‘Pig-like’ and ‘massive boar’ seem to be the best descriptors we’re able to get. We have fought a dire bear before, so I wonder how it lines up to scale. What, exactly, is the ecology of a beast like this out here in the swamps? Is it the only one of its kind? Is it native to the area?

I’m not an expert on the biology of the monsters I hunt (strictly speaking), but sometimes you come across a specimen that is so fascinating that it makes you wonder: what would a world look like where it is the norm?
