What is a witcher?

A witcher is a human who practices the mundane and macabre arts of monster hunting. A witcher is a person who specializes in hunting monsters, both internal and external, in order to obtain their ingredients for potions and other magical items. Witchers are often part-time or full-time mages who use various types of magic to track down and kill monsters. They may also be members of a special breed of warriors, the templars, who serve as warriors, mages and enforcers. Witchers are also known as monster hunters and are often depicted as rugged, outdoorsy types with long, flowing (but still clean and organized) hair and beard. The word “witcher” comes from the Old Norse word “witik” which means “tent,” “saddle,” or “bag.” The term’s modern usage, then, refers to a person who hunts monsters in a tent. Because of their “rough and ready” nature and reliance on their own wits to survive, witchers are often considered anti-social. They prefer to be left alone, and will often refuse to discuss their work, which can make them seem inaccessible.

What is a monster hunter?

A monster hunter is a person who studies animals, especially those with legs and feet, in an attempt to gain insight into their biology and understand their capabilities. Typically a monster hunter will work with a biological team of scientists, who may use remote cameras to track animals in the field, or conduct in-the-field studies using live animals and their own body organs. Monster hunters may also use computers to track animals’ movements and habits, or employ specialized software that can “listen” to animals and pick up their sounds. Because there’s so much at stake, and the danger to both the monster hunter and the animals they’re trying to save is so great, monster hunting is a highly specialized field with wide ranging specialties and expertise.
