Yeren Guardian
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 Yeren Guardian originated when Wildwood Guardians traveled to China's Shennongjia Forest to study the Yeren (Chinese Wildman). They returned with ancient concealment techniques that were adapted to protect Pacific Northwest Sasquatch territories, creating a bridge between Asian and North American cryptid protection methods.
Possesses specialized knowledge of mountainous terrain tracking and bamboo forest navigation. Creates natural camouflage using local vegetation and emits low-frequency sounds that disrupt tracking devices. Uses ancient Chinese scent markers to create false trails and misdirect intruders.
Serves as the faction's specialist in mountainous terrain protection and advanced concealment techniques, training other Guardians in Chinese forest defense methods while overseeing high-altitude Sasquatch habitat protection.
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 45 to 17.
Origin of the Yeren Guardian:
Born when a Wildwood Guardian accidentally left their Yeti-grade trail mix in Shennongjia Forest, attracting a Yeren who then taught them the ancient art of "hide-and-yeet." Now, #45 prowls the PNW like a cryptid influencer—part Bigfoot, part ninja, all "Why am I narrating this?" energy.
(Yes, this tag’s backstory has more plot holes than a Blair Witch sequel.)
"But where does it go next?" ...Probably your bag, let’s be real.
The Yeren Guardian Chooses Its First Victim—Er, Bearer:
Deep in the mist-shrouded forests of Creekside, Jared Lang (PDGA #155955, aka "The Man Who Throws Like a Yeti With a Hangover") stumbled upon #45 while searching for his shanked drive. The tag, sensing a kindred spirit of chaos, latched onto his bag with the tenacity of a cryptid chasing a granola bar.
"A match made in Sasquatch heaven—or a cursed pairing destined for tree-related tragedy?"
Will Jared honor the Yeren Guardian’s legacy, or will his next throw be "Bigfoot-n’t"?
