Bunyip Bibliophile
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...
Originally a Bunyip from Australia's billabongs, this creature became fascinated with human accounts of cryptid sightings after discovering a sunken ship's library. Over centuries, it collected every scrap of cryptid documentation it could find, eventually traveling to Loch Ness when it detected a convergence of supernatural energies.
Possesses an eidetic memory for cryptid accounts and can sense new documentation entering the loch. Secretes preservative mucus to protect its collection. Can briefly take humanoid form to interact with researchers. Emits a low, bookish hum when excited by new discoveries.
Serves as the Seekers' living research library, surfacing to share crucial documents that support their theories about Nessie's connections to other cryptids while hoarding dangerous secrets in its submerged archive.
The Seekers of the Serpent are a group of disc golfers obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the Loch Ness monster. They believe that Nessie holds the key to unlocking incredible power and knowledge, and they will stop at nothing to unravel her mysteries. The Seekers are known for their relentless curiosity, their willingness to take risks, and their unconventional approach to the game. They embrace the chaos and uncertainty of the Highland courses, seeing them as a means to test their mettle and prove their worth.
Dr. Eliza Blackwood is a brilliant but eccentric cryptozoologist who has dedicated her life to the study of legendary creatures. She first became fascinated with Nessie as a child, and has spent years chasing leads and conducting research around Loch Ness. Eliza is a charismatic and driven leader, inspiring the Seekers with her passion and determination. She believes that the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe lies in the unraveling of ancient mysteries like the Loch Ness monster.
Due to absence from Week 5 (Sunken Stones), tag number moved from 25 to 26. (Week 5 of 8)
Origin Story of Bunyip Bibliophile:
Born from a soggy copy of Cryptid Weekly left in an Aussie billabong, this tag evolved when a Bunyip binge-read every Nessie conspiracy thread like a cryptid Redditor. Now it lurks in the loch, whispering "The truth is out there... but first, let me check Goodreads."
Yes, we’re giving sentience to a piece of plastic. No, I’m not getting paid enough for this.
And so the Bunyip Bibliophile emerged from its soggy cryptid forums, scanning the mortal realm for a worthy bearer. It found Kevin Dennis (PDGA #209234—gasp, a number so prime it made mathematicians weep). Was it his uncanny ability to lose discs in water hazards? His novel approach to tree kicks? Or simply that he looked like a guy who’d appreciate a good "Nessie or Nice Try" pun? The tag slithered into his bag, whispering, "Prove you’re more than a footnote in disc golf history." But seriously, Kevin—can you handle a sentient piece of plastic judging your form?
