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 Mothman Mystic originated when a Guardian scholar traveled to Point Pleasant after strange visions foretold a connection between Sasquatch and the Mothman legend. They returned with ancient Appalachian protection rituals adapted for Pacific Northwest forests, creating a new role that blends both traditions into a unified cryptid defense system.
The Mothman Mystic possesses enhanced night vision and premonitory abilities adapted from Appalachian lore. Their cloak shimmers with bioluminescent patterns that disorient observers, while their staff contains embedded West Virginia silver that disrupts electronic surveillance devices used by hunters. They move silently through the forest canopy, leaving no trace.
The Mothman Mystic serves as the Guardians' chief diviner and early warning system, using adapted Appalachian cryptid lore to predict and prevent intrusions into Sasquatch territory. They train other Guardians in advanced misdirection techniques drawn from multiple cryptid traditions.
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 of Mothman Mystic #43:
Born when a sleep-deprived Guardian chugged one too many energy drinks and binge-watched The X-Files, this tag manifested after they "definitely saw something" in the mist. Now it lurks in the bag tag pile like a cryptid in a blurry photo—half Sasquatch swagger, half Appalachian folklore, 100% questionable life choices. Why are we like this?
(Yes, the cloak shimmers. No, we won’t explain how.)
And so the Mothman Mystic #43 emerged from the mist, drawn to Clayton Strayer (PDGA #227085) like a moth to a flame thrower—because apparently, "subtlety" isn’t in this tag’s vocabulary. Witness his 927-rated prowess: a man who can hyzer-flip conspiracy theories into reality. Did the tag choose him, or did he just wing it? Either way, the real question is: Can he handle a cryptid that judges his shanks like a blurry UFO video? Dun dun dunnnn.
