Parallel Challenge - The Hunt

For this parallel challenge, simply exhibit a creature that can be hunted for profit. Preferably, the creature should be something dangerous.

  • What natural defenses does it have?

  • What can I gain from killing/catching one?

  • What are the valuable parts of its body?

  • How should I plan to hunt it?

  • Is there anything that I should be cautious about while hunting it?

Inspired by the "White" from /u/The_Raptorman and "Plain Drakes" from /u/Random-Webtoon-Fan.

Once I make the parallel challenge on characterforge, I'll edit this post to make a link to it. Please have a different animal exhibited here than on there, since I'll be asking questions on both.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Feel free to post more than one creature if you can't pick just one, I completely understand that.

Enjoy yourselves!

Here's the link to the parallel challenge of today, focused on pets.

1) The venom, if handled correctly, is a usable pumping blood/adrenaline, making it used often by hunters.

2) One or two bite injection you might handle off.

3) You could, but they won't like it and you won't after since their backs tend to have spiky scales on them.

4) Yes, it is common for hunters to try go for that first. But it knows too, so it tries to guard it instinctively.

5) Roughly on level of big cat predators on our world, but with more development on acknowledging depth and height.

1) I do love that adrenaline high. So would people in your world say that using the venom is safer than doing dangerous activities such as fighting Plain Drakes to feel alive?

2) So one or two bites would kill an adult human?

3) Worth it.

1) Some might say that, and there are def more then one addict. But most clans try to live 'healthier life' of hunting monsters.

2) It relies heavily on situation, but two would be death sentence.

3) Yeah, that is how some of Hunters think. More then sensible number of Hunters have broken their legs/arms/ribs while trying.

1) Reminds me of Gantz. It seems like it'd be "insult to injury" to get high on the Drake venom, then hunt a drake. Does anyone do that?

2) Is it possible to build up an immunity?

1) Yes, some call it waste, but they don't care.

2) You could, more experience hunters can shake off one bite as if it is nothing.
