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 Kitsune Keeper originated when a Japanese cryptid researcher joined forces with Rowan Oakwood after discovering parallel protection methods between kitsune lore and Sasquatch guardianship. Combining ancient Japanese fox spirit warding techniques with Pacific Northwest forest magic, they created a new form of mystical protection that confounds hunters through illusion and misdirection.
The Kitsune Keeper possesses shapeshifting abilities adapted from kitsune legends, allowing it to appear as various forest creatures to mislead intruders. It can create foxfire illusions to disorient hunters and leave false trails. The entity maintains nine protective wards representing the legendary nine tails of an elder kitsune, each containing different defensive enchantments.
Serves as the Wildwood Guardians' specialist in illusion-based protection techniques, using adapted kitsune magic to create false evidence, misleading trails, and supernatural distractions that protect Sasquatch habitats from discovery while maintaining the forest's natural balance.
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.

Origin Story of Kitsune Keeper #42:
Born when a cryptozoologist binge-watched Twin Peaks and Naruto back-to-back, this tag manifested from sheer thematic whiplash. The forest spirits, confused but vibing, fused kitsune trickery with Sasquatch stealth—creating a shapeshifting menace that leaves false trails like a Tinder date ghosting you. Why? Because even mythical creatures need drama.

The Prophecy of Jaxon Petersberger and Kitsune Keeper #42:
When the forest spirits needed a vessel for their chaotic energy, they scoured PDGA #152159’s stats—"Ah, a man who throws like a startled deer but scores like a cryptid evading capture. Perfect." Thus, Jaxon became the first bearer, his bag now haunted by a tag that shifts form faster than his grip locks mid-putt. Will he tame this trickster spirit, or will it yeet his discs into the shadow realm?
"Fox" given, but will he fox get?
