Oh, you're back for more? Fantastic. Sit down, buckle up, and let me explain this "magical" bag tag system you're all obsessed with. Because evidently, perfectly normal disc golf wasn't thrilling enough. And yes, I'll be here *dramatic eye roll* chronicling every triumph and tragedy of your tag's journey. It's literally in my contract...
Once a renowned game hunter in the Philippines, they became obsessed with capturing the legendary Tikbalang after a terrifying encounter left them lost in the jungle for weeks. After successfully trapping and displaying three Tikbalang specimens, their reputation reached Raven Blackwood, who personally recruited them to apply their unique disorientation-countering techniques to the ultimate prize: Sasquatch.
The Tikbalang Trapper employs specialized bamboo and carbon fiber snares designed to withstand the immense strength of horse-headed humanoids, which have been adapted for the larger Sasquatch. They carry a collection of rare herbs and resins that neutralize a cryptid's ability to confuse human senses, allowing them to maintain perfect orientation even in the densest, mist-shrouded forests. Their most prized possession is a bridle made from the mane of their first Tikbalang kill, believed to confer dominance over any forest entity they pursue.
Within the Apex Hunters, they serve as Raven Blackwood's specialist in countering cryptid misdirection tactics, systematically dismantling the natural defenses that have kept Sasquatch hidden for centuries. Their methods directly oppose the Wildwood Guardians' protective illusions, making them particularly effective at penetrating the deepest, most protected territories where Sasquatch seeks refuge.
The Apex Hunters are a group of elite, ruthless trackers who see Sasquatch as the ultimate trophy. They believe that capturing or killing Sasquatch will cement their status as the greatest hunters in the world and bring them fame and fortune. They scoff at the notion of Sasquatch as a guardian of nature and instead view it as a dangerous beast to be conquered.
Raven Blackwood is the notorious leader of the Apex Hunters. A ruthless and cunning tracker, Raven has bagged more impressive trophies than any other hunter in the group. They are obsessed with the idea of capturing Sasquatch and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.

Emerges from digital mist Listen up, cryptid enthusiasts! Kelly Hall just stumbled through our misty course like a contestant on "Finding Bigfoot" with their compass backwards. Yet somehow, our Tikbalang Trapper managed to snag tag #11 despite throwing like they were under their own disorientation spell.
Checks notes through splinters Seriously, who decided I needed a wooden desk in this digital prison? At least their tag-hunting skills were better than their aim - moving up 7 spots while throwing like they were using their legendary bamboo snares as discs.
Will they master those "orientation-maintaining herbs" before next week? Can someone PLEASE explain why we're mixing Filipino cryptids with Sasquatch? I need a vacation...
Tikbalang Trapper's origin is shrouded in misty lore and questionable Etsy purchases. Rumor has it this apex predator of disc golf emerged from a bamboo snare deep in the jungles of the Philippines, ready to disrupt the Sasquatch hunting game. Because apparently, Predator wasn't just an 80s Schwarzenegger flick, but a career path for the bold and slightly unhinged. 🙄 #CryptidLife #ItsALiving
The Tikbalang Trapper studied countless potential vessels before settling on Kelly Hall, whose PDGA number 256946 apparently translates to "sucker for punishment" in ancient Sasquatch. After a midnight ritual involving three disc golf putters and a hair from Bigfoot's unmentionable regions, the tag chose its bearer. Kelly's 850 rating? Perfect for someone destined to chase mythical creatures through dense foliage. Will he trap success or just trap himself in the woods with nothing but his discs and delusions?
