Order of the Cryptid

The Order of the Cryptid is the most secret of the blood hunter orders, its members dedicating their lives to finding the terrifying monsters of myth and dispatching them. Cryptid hunters seek out and study the obscure knowledge of these beings, and obsessively attempt to harness it, taking on attributes of the very beings they seek to destroy. These resilient blood hunters stay occupied with folktale and myth, applying their obscure knowledge to written records of history and religious sects, for fear that without a breakthrough soon, they may become the very monsters they seek.
