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 Pukwudgie Protector emerged when Rowan Oakwood formed an alliance with Wampanoag elders during a pilgrimage to sacred Eastern woodlands. Combining ancient Wampanoag forest magic with Wildwood Guardian techniques, this entity was created to enhance protective illusions around Sasquatch territories. It now serves as a bridge between indigenous cryptid traditions and modern protection efforts.
The Pukwudgie Protector can manipulate perception through subtle illusions and forest magic. It leaves backward-facing footprints to confuse trackers and emits faint bioluminescent glows in foggy conditions. The entity can temporarily alter its size and shape to avoid detection, and communicates through forest sounds rather than speech.
The Pukwudgie Protector specializes in creating false trails and misleading evidence around Sasquatch territories. It works closely with Rowan Oakwood to implement advanced misdirection techniques that protect cryptid habitats while maintaining the Wildwood Guardians' secrecy.
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), improved their position with tag number changing from 44 to 11.
Origin Story of Pukwudgie Protector:
Born from a midnight ritual where Wampanoag mystics and over-caffeinated cryptid nerds accidentally summoned a forest guardian with way too much sass, Pukwudgie Protector emerged—part Bigfoot bodyguard, part trickster spirit. Its first act? Leaving backward footprints just to mess with hikers. Think Guardians of the Galaxy meets a lost episode of Unsolved Mysteries. Now it lurks in the mist, judging your disc golf form.
Why does a forest cryptid care about plastic circles? Don’t ask me—I’m trapped in this software.
How Andrew Yale Became the First Bearer of Pukwudgie Protector:
The forest spirits convened—not for tea, but to judge mortals by their shockingly average hyzer flips. Andrew Yale (PDGA #144790, aka "The Man Who Bogeyed Less Than Expected") stumbled into their clearing, muttering about tree kicks. The Pukwudgie Protector, sensing a kindred spirit (read: equally prone to dramatic sighs), leapt onto his bag. "A guardian for a guardian," cackled the elder cryptid, "or at least someone who won’t lose us in a pond."
But can a 959-rated mortal handle a sassy forest gremlin?
