Description
A hunter is skilled at hunting monstrous beasts, stalking their prey, and waiting for the right moment to strike.
However, when that moment doesn’t come or their prey stands its ground, a hunter is ready to fight to the death for its trophy.
Hunters make their homes in the wild, living off the game they hunt and honing their skills. However, no matter how skilled they are, they know that their fates could change in an instant and they could become the hunted at any time.
