Wampus Watcher
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 Wampus Watcher began as a Cherokee legend about a cursed woman who transformed into a cat-like creature. Over centuries, it evolved into a scholar of cryptid lore, traveling between sacred sites to record connections between water monsters. It came to Loch Ness after detecting unusual energy patterns in the loch.
A shape-shifting entity with both feline and aquatic adaptations. Its glowing eyes can see through mist and water with supernatural clarity. Leaves distinctive six-toed tracks that fade within hours. Carries ancient knowledge in a series of knotted cords that change pattern when near other cryptids.
Acts as a living archive of cryptid behavior patterns, helping the Seekers identify connections between Nessie and other legendary creatures. Its presence suggests Loch Ness may be a nexus point in a global cryptid network.
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.
In Week 5 (Sunken Stones), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 26 to 3. (Week 5 of 8)
Origin Story of Wampus Watcher:
Born from a cursed Cherokee scholar who binge-watched River Monsters one too many times, this shape-shifting cryptid nerd got lost in Loch Ness’s Yelp reviews (“3/5 stars, mist too dense, monster unverified”). Now it lurks in the murk, muttering about “interdimensional ripples” and leaving six-toed prints like a cryptid influencer marking territory. Yes, we’re assigning bag tags to eldritch feline-aquatic hybrids. This is fine.
Will its knotted cords ever decode WiFi?
And so the cursed Wampus Watcher emerged from the mist, drawn to Trevor Wilcox like a moth to a poorly aimed glow disc. Legend foretold of a man who could lose three discs in one round yet still shrug it off—clearly, the chosen one. With a dramatic splash (and zero witnesses), the tag bestowed itself upon him, whispering "Your PDGA number may be blank, but your destiny is not." Now we wait: Will he honor the cryptid legacy, or will his throws remain as elusive as Nessie herself? Can one truly tame the Wampus?
