The Hibagon Protector originated when a Wildwood Guardian expedition to Japan's Mount Hiba discovered striking parallels between Hibagon and Sasquatch behavior patterns. After forming an alliance with local cryptid protectors, they adapted specialized detection techniques used to safeguard the Hibagon's territory, creating a new class of protector for Pacific Northwest forests.

Possesses enhanced olfactory senses capable of detecting human presence from miles away, secretes natural camouflage resin, moves with unnatural silence, and can remain motionless for days while monitoring territory. Its physiology is adapted from Hibagon tracking abilities and environmental adaptations.

Serves as the Wildwood Guardians' early detection system, patrolling perimeter forests and alerting other protectors to intruder movements while specializing in creating false trails and misleading signs to divert hunters from Sasquatch territories.
