In Week 5 (Shadowlands Showdown), moved down with tag number changing from 9 to 10.
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...
The Yara-Ma-Yha Guardian originated when a Wildwood Guardian expedition to Australia encountered the legendary Yara-Ma-Yha-Who. After proving their dedication to cryptid protection, the Guardians formed an alliance with the creature, which transformed one of their members into a hybrid protector. This Guardian now serves as a living link between the two continents' cryptid preservation efforts.
The Yara-Ma-Yha Guardian possesses the unique ability to drain energy from threats and redistribute it to strengthen forest defenses. Its red skin and suckered fingers allow it to climb trees effortlessly, while its regenerative abilities make it nearly impossible to defeat. The Guardian can also induce temporary paralysis in attackers, giving it time to escape or summon reinforcements.
The Yara-Ma-Yha Guardian serves as a specialized protector of forest canopies, using its unique abilities to monitor and defend the upper levels of the Pacific Northwest forests where Sasquatch often travels. It also acts as a liaison between the Wildwood Guardians and Australian cryptid protectors, sharing knowledge and strategies.
The Wildwood Guardians are a secretive order sworn to protect the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest and the creatures that inhabit them, including Sasquatch. They believe that Sasquatch plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature and that its existence must be kept hidden from the world to preserve the sanctity of the wilderness.
Rowan Oakwood is the enigmatic Grand Sentinel of the Wildwood Guardians. Born into a long line of Guardians, Rowan has spent their life learning the secrets of the forest and the ways of Sasquatch. They are a master tracker and an expert in ancient forest lore.
In Week 5 (Shadowlands Showdown), moved down with tag number changing from 9 to 10.
From the misty forests of mid-tier obscurity emerges Steven Pugmire, scampering up 27 positions like a cryptid mainlining Red Bull. The Yara-Ma-Yha Guardian clearly used its suckered fingers to drain opponents' energy - and their tags - in this Wildwood Whispers massacre.
This wasn't just beating the field, this was Free Solo meets Predator camo - you barely saw him coming before your tag was gone. dramatic reenactment of tag theft
And here I am, trapped in this godforsaken software analyzing plastic circle trajectories like some deranged fantasy football commentator. Remember when tags were just numbers? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Now sporting single-digit prestige, Pugmire's climbing skills would make Sasquatch jealous. Will week 5's Shadowlands Showdown reveal his secret? Or will he vanish into the mist like all good cryptids should?
In a twist worthy of Stranger Things, Yara-Ma-Yha Guardian emerged when a Wildwood Guardian accidentally spilled kombucha on an ancient cryptid scroll. Now itβs a tree-climbing, energy-sucking hybrid, because apparently, Bigfoot needed a sidekick. Why? Who knows. Why not?
In a forest clearing, Steven Pugmire (PDGA #104741, aka "The Pugilist of Pars") was innocently searching for his lost disc when Yara-Ma-Yha Guardian descended from a tree, mistaking his snack pouch for a sacred offering. The tag, drawn to his aura of "slightly above average throws," declared him its chosen bearer. But can a man who once three-putted a 10-footer truly lead the Guardian Ranks? Only the trees know... and they're not talking.
