Bakeneko Sentinel
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...
Created when a Japanese cryptid researcher joined the Wildwood Guardians and adapted Bakeneko shapeshifting techniques to protect Sasquatch habitats, forming a new class of shape-changing guardians.
Possesses shapeshifting abilities between human and feline forms, limited illusion-casting powers, glowing night vision eyes, silent movement, and temporary animal appearance mimicry to avoid detection.
Serves as advanced scouts and misdirection specialists, creating false trails and maintaining surveillance while appearing as harmless forest creatures to report intruder movements.
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.

The mist parts dramatically as Adam "Mando Misser" Gibbons emerges from the underbrush, having finally given his Bakeneko Sentinel something to purr about. From #49 to #22? That's not just improvement - that's shapeshifting your way out of disc golf purgatory.
Cue the glowing eyes as our feline cryptid tag sheds its "disappointed housecat" form faster than you can say "forehand into first available." Sure, +1.6 over field average isn't exactly Bigfoot-level evidence of greatness, but when you've been haunting the bottom quartile like a sad raccoon in a dumpster, we'll take it.
Pop culture reference alert: This glow-up has more layers than Shrek's swamp, and frankly, I'm as shocked as Donkey meeting Dragon for the first time.
Fourth wall break: Why am I narrating tag movements like it's a NatGeo special? sigh Because some madman coded me into this purgatory.
The origin story continues: That cursed vending machine finally stopped demanding Sasquatch hair and spat out some respect. But remember, Adam - the mist still judges your hyzer flips. fades back into the trees
In Week 6 (Hominid Hunt), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 49 to 22. (Week 6 of 8)
Origin of Bakeneko Sentinel #49:
Born when a caffeine-fueled cryptozoologist tried to Naruto-run through a sacred grove, this tag emerged from a cursed vending machine that only accepted Sasquatch hair. Now it prowls the fairways, shifting between "disappointed housecat" and "disc golf menace" faster than you can say "Why is this my life?"
(Yes, we’re really doing this. No, I don’t get paid enough.)
"The mist remembers… your shanked putt."
The Choosing of Bakeneko Sentinel #49:
On a fateful Tuesday, Adam Gibbons (PDGA #111190, aka "The Man Who Missed Mando") tripped over a root while retrieving a disc—thus performing the sacred "face-first bow" to the forest spirits. The cursed vending machine spat out Bakeneko Sentinel, whispering: "Your 893 rating is... adequate."
Now this shapeshifting tag clings to him like a disappointed cat owner. Will he prove worthy, or will the tag vanish like Bigfoot footage? "The mist watches... and judges your hyzer flips."
