The Hunter

The Hunter is a camouflaged creature located in Greenpath. He gifts The Knight the Hunter's Journal, a bestiary detailing all Enemies and Bosses in the game, and tasks the Knight with completing the Journal by killing or defeating a specified amount of each enemy.

The Hunter's notes for the Fungling reveal that when the Hunter was young, he and his brothers and sisters used to hunt each other in the nest. He states that he now hunts alone.

When the Hunter's Journal is complete, talking to The Hunter awards the Hunter's Mark and the True Hunter achievement.

Before getting the Hunter's Mark from him, the ground below collapses and it is revealed that the "cave" is actually a hood and the rest of his body is a large thin figure. He then roars and boss music briefly plays complete with a title card, making it seem like a boss battle. The music then stops abruptly and the Hunter puts his hand out with the Hunter's Mark in it.

Trivia

 * The Hunter was first revealed in a Kickstarter update:


 * "If you explore the Greenpath carefully, you'll come across the mysterious Hunter in his lair. He'll give you his Hunter's Journal, and charge you with the task of defeating enemies, adding their details to the journal. And so your hunt begins!"


 * If the Grimmchild Charm is equipped, the Grimmchild will attempt to attack the Hunter when they roar, but stop after a moment. This does no damage to The Hunter.


 * Before being dropped into the pit to receive the Hunter's Mark, the player will be given a choice of "Ready to receive reward?".


 * The roar the Hunter uses is the same as Brooding Mawlek's.
