The Wild Hunt	comment	Thunder rolls. Or is that hoofbeats in the sky? Above the wailing wind, a hunting horn can be heard, and the baying of cruel hounds. The Wild Hunt roams the land and sky, and all honest men cower in their homes, for even the sight of it can bring disaster. Originating in European stories recorded in The Middle Ages, as well as Hindu Puranas of the same time period, this trope is Older Than Print. The nature of the Wild Hunt varied somewhat from location to location. However, the overall nature of the Hunt was generally agreed upon — it was otherworldly, the participants were mounted on Hellish Horses and accompanied by Hellhounds. It usually existed to either hunt the living, punish the hunters, or both. Sometimes the Hunt was hunting the dead or dying with the purpose of taking them to the afterlife, such as the Norse version which was led by Odin or the Welsh version led by Gwyn ap Nudd. A Greek version is said to have been led by Hecate or Artemis; the Maenads' orgies of ecstasy and bloodshed, led by Dionysus, bear some similarities as well. Some medieval regions reported that the Hunt was led by Diana — though interestingly enough, not in any region where Diana had been worshipped historically.note There is only one goddess mentioned in the New Testament, and it is Diana; folklorists consider it the most likely source. The other huntsmen were often the dead or hapless mortals swept up into the hunt for all eternity. This legend was later adapted by Christianity, with its versions of the Hunt being led by Satan, Herodias, Habundia (a fairy queen from Scottish folklore, possibly equivalent to Queen Medb in Irish folklore, and Queen Mab in English folklore), or sometimes a localized huntsman figure like the English Herne the Hunter, the French Hellequin, or the German Hans von Hackelbernd. With the other huntsmen or witches being the damned and the hounds themselves being the souls of unbaptized children. Other times, the Hunt was made up of The Fair Folk. This version, also known as the Fairy Raed, tends to be led by a bare-chested man with an antlered deer skull for a head. In Norway, it was said that the hunt brought luck to the place where it rested. Certain farms had such legends connected to them. Modern versions of the Wild Hunt tend to be as varied as the source, but they usually involve a spectral hunter mounted on an unearthly horse, usually accompanied by an equally unearthly host and hounds. Also, the Wild Hunt may have been the origin of Santa Claus riding in the sky with his sledge and reindeer, and delivering presents on Christmas. Badass Santa's not without reason, apparently. One theory is that the Wild Hunt legend derives from the sounds of large flocks of migrating geese, whose honkings can sound like dogs barking. For a similar Japanese legend, see Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Often the Wild Hunt is True Neutral or a Wild Card. May overlap with Hunting the Most Dangerous Game. For the film of the same name, see The Wild Hunt. For the game, see The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Not to be confused with Wild Hunt. Examples

The Wild Hunt / int_168c4727	comment	In Guild Wars 2, members of the sylvari race partake in the race's collective subconscious, known as the Dream, before they are born. The Dream periodically grants some a mission to fight enemies of the race, which is referred to as a Wyld Hunt. Every playable sylvari is on one such Wyld Hunt, out for the Elder Dragon Zhaitan. Comes in full effect in the assault on Orr, where you and every other sylvari around are essentially one big hunting party on a rampage through Zhaitan's territory. Many other NPC sylvari are given lesser Wyld Hunts, such as hunting the Nightmare Court or anything that may threaten a particular sylvari settlement.

His hounds are the ghosts of Viking berserkers. A miniseries and the ninth trade paperback is entitled The Wild Hunt. In it, Hellboy joins an eponymous group of British noblemen brought together to hunt giants. They're there to kill him, because they don't want him to become the next rightful king of England (Hellboy's human mother was the last descendant of Mordred).

The particular Hunt Percy runs into ends up chasing the Twrch Trwyth across Ireland during the Samhain before cornering it on the Isle of Man. Several members are part of the Tuatha de Danaan, any of whom could obliterate their prey with a thought but ban the use of powers to make the hunt more exciting. Percy ends up impressing them so much that they decide to induct him as a full (permenant) member despite still being mortal. He isn't exactly thrilled by it.

The Wild Hunt / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: The Wild Hunt is made up of Wyldfae, and will kill anything in its path that doesn't join the hunt. There are several entities that can lead the Wild Hunt, but it is usually the Erlking (also called Elf-King, Erlkonig, and various different names in different cultures), one of the strongest of the Wyldfae, comparable to Mab and Titania in power: During Dead Beat, Harry actually calls up the Wild Hunt, in an effort to keep them away from the Big Bads; when it fails, the Erlking says he'll come back and kill Harry for daring to imprison him. Afterward, though, he's so impressed by Harry's reanimating a T. Rex (a "great hunter" itself) and riding it into battle, that he lets Harry live, for now. In Changes he impresses him further by using the Erlking's own words against him to claim guest rights after inadvertently opening a Way into the Erlking's dining hall and defeating two Red court champions in said hall. It's topped off when the Way out of his lair leads to a Bass Pro sporting and hunting store. In Cold Days, Harry tops this by gaining leadership of the Wild Hunt by defeating its leaders the Erlking and Kris Kringle. He leads it to defeat the Outsiders attacking Demonreach.note Though, they did throw the fight so they could help him.

These normally include a Monarch, Scouts, Archers, Horses and Hounds, but sometimes they'll convert an especially notable victim into a new unique member of the Hunt as well. The various members of the Hunt share their abilities with each other, making them very dangerous as a group — a full Hunt (one Monarch, one Scout, three Archers, three Horses and four Hounds) is a challenge fit for high-level parties.

The Master of the Wild Hunt returns as a deity for the 3rd edition in an issue of Dragon. There have also been a few fey-type creatures themed after the Wild Hunt. The lunar ravagers are essentially fey versions of the Predator, who descend via moonbeams to hunt intelligent prey. Hoary hunters are epic-level threats who appear on cold, moonlit nights to chase down and enslave victims — the only way to get a hoary hunter off your track is to kill it and its fellows, evade it nine times, or live the rest of your life somewhere that never experiences frost, because the hunters will wait for decades for another shot at their quarry. Eventually, the 3.5th Edition Monster Manual V came out with a "Wild Hunt" creature entry, containing both skull-headed, bear-sized hunting hounds and the master of the hunt himself, a towering, antler-helmed fey archer who can do absurd amounts of damage with his bow, and can track any creature beneath the moon. Birthright has the Hunt of the Elves, which attacks humans, and the Wild Hunt proper — those are unseelie fairies hunting elves and ignoring everything else unless it's stupid or slow enough to stand on their way. Forgotten Realms: Malar (god of the hunt, among other things) has his own version of this, with a chosen victim being hunted by worshipers of the Beastlord. Anyone who evades them is granted one request (that doesn't involve hurting his worshipers) by Malar. Nentir Vale: The Wild Hunt is a fey subfaction with loose ties to the Gloaming Court. Firbolgs, a race of fey giants with a distinctly Celtic aesthetic, regularly join it as it goes hunting monsters and oathbreakers. The Wild Hunt's leader, a cursed firbolg archfey named Cerunnos the Horned Hunter, is detailed in an issue of Dragon. There's also the regular hunts that elven dead host in their Arcadia-like plane of Arvandor to battle the Abominations — ancient super-monsters created as Living Weapons during the Dawn War — which escape from their prison in Carceri into Arvandor, which have a distinctly Wild Hunt aesthetic. Ravenloft: The domain of Forlorn has its own Wild Hunt that pursues those of non-Neutral alignment. Those who encounter the Hunt are either slain or magically compelled to join it. The setting's version of the Headless Horseman, who pursues victims down his domain's endless road in the company of the severed, floating, biting heads of his previous prey, could be considered a variant. This article from the Planescape fansite Mimir.net adapts it for D&D (second edition). A small version appears in the classic module Castle Amber though it still challenges a typical D&D party of that era.

The Wild Hunt / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls Hircine, the Daedric Prince of the Hunt, views the entirety of existence as an unending hunt. He is fond of Hunting the Most Dangerous Game and is always seeking the most worthy prey for his Hunting Grounds. In Battlespire and Morrowind's Bloodmoon expansion, the player gets involved in his hunts and, in each case, there exists the possibility for the player to change his role as Hunted or Hunter. Were-creatures, especially werewolves, are Hircine's servants. They can be said to embody his view of the Hunt, as during the day they are Hunted, but at night they are Hunters. The Bosmer (Wood Elves) have an ancient ritual with this name. It calls upon the Ehlnofey to transform them into nightmarish hellspawn in order to drive intruders from the land, before turning on each other and engaging in what is described as a "cannibalistic orgy". As there is no known way to reverse the transformation, it is reserved for use in only the most extreme of circumstances. Most recently, this ritual was used to end the Five Years War between the Bosmer and the Khajiit.

The Hunt is led by the Black Hunter, a son of the goddess of Death and the Earth, depicted as a black-skinned giant with antlers, a spear and a chain threaded with the heads of people he's hunted. The other Hunters are either demonic Rahabi spirits, the ghosts of wolves and hunting dogs, and thousands of years worth of individuals who the Hunter asked to join the Hunt — heroic types that he finds worthy hunting companions. As one would imagine, his request to join is difficult to resist, and he isn't happy if he's refused.

The Wild Hunt / int_c51cb60a	comment	Changeling: The Lost features a Goblin Contract (a magical power with negative side effects for the caster) that allows a changeling to summon the Wild Hunt to Earth. This effectively means that the changeling has summoned a hunting pack of his former captors into the world with a fake distress call, and if they can't find better meat, then the changeling in question better start running... (On a critical failure, they realize who the changeling is, and may show up anyway to hunt him. On a critical success, they show up within a few seconds.) It bears mentioning that all other goblin contracts have separate drawbacks to the benefits they bring. Here, summoning the hunt already is its own drawback. Oddly enough, Changeling refuses to actually define the Wild Hunt — probably because no-one has ever seen it and lived. Second Edition varies it up. The True Fae are extremely reluctant to take the fight outside of Arcadia... which is why, when they want changelings back, they send out Huntsman, the original indigenous inhabitants of Arcadia who have been bound into servitude by having their hearts stolen. They're capable of uses the traces of a changeling's soul that were caught on the Thorns of the Hedge in order to hunt their prey. They're capable of changing faces and shape, though some traces always remain. And they're capable of getting around the protections the Seasonal Courts offer, as long as they take the right approach for the ruling season.

The hunt usually involves the Hunted God being hunted by Thirst, Fear and Honor (personified as a trio of godly berserkers) across the universe. For a time, Odin Allfather led the hunt until they tracked it down and killed the Hunted God in Hell. Since all who suffer in Hell must stay in Hell, Lucifer would not allow them to keep their kill, but Odin managed to convince him otherwise on the condition that he joined their next hunt. As Lucifer does, he perverted this sacred event by hunting the Hunted God before the hunt would even begin, killing the god at infancy again and again until the god's divine essence was whittled down nearly to nothing.

In this interpretation, the Riders have the ability to erase their victims from existence, including all memories of them. They appear as ghostly cowboys and are capable of riding lightning bolts. The taken are held in an otherworldly train station until the Hunt leaves town, at which time they join The Hunt and become Ghost Riders themselves. They also seem to have power over Hell Hounds, and do not abduct banshees.

The Wild Hunt / int_dcbfeeee	comment	Little Witch Academia (2017)'s Affectionate Parody version makes the Wild Hunt into a sports event, apparently the magical equivalent of the Super Bowl. The hunters ride around on wolves destroying "ghosts," i.e. vaguely human-shaped blobs of unclear origin. None of the main characters are officially part of the Hunt, but Constanze and Akko help attack the phantoms with the former's magitek airship, while Croix sneakily boosts the enemies' power with her own technology.

The Wild Hunt / int_e1231721	comment	The Obsidian Trilogy: Anyone banished by the Golden City is given one night to get out of city lands before the Outlaw Hunt, a pack of stone dogs that are tireless and incapable of losing a trail, is released to tear them apart. The trick is that the lands are so large, there's no way for even a mounted man traveling at full gallop to exit the lands in a single night, let alone an outlaw on foot. There is also the Starry Hunt, a primeval force that seems to be some flavour of neutral but will fight for those who summon it.

The Wild Hunt / int_e1b8752f	comment	Nentir Vale: The Wild Hunt is a fey subfaction with loose ties to the Gloaming Court. Firbolgs, a race of fey giants with a distinctly Celtic aesthetic, regularly join it as it goes hunting monsters and oathbreakers. The Wild Hunt's leader, a cursed firbolg archfey named Cerunnos the Horned Hunter, is detailed in an issue of Dragon. There's also the regular hunts that elven dead host in their Arcadia-like plane of Arvandor to battle the Abominations — ancient super-monsters created as Living Weapons during the Dawn War — which escape from their prison in Carceri into Arvandor, which have a distinctly Wild Hunt aesthetic.

Being employed as a Raven, a PMC pilot that operates an Armored Core, under the private company Raven's Nest in a World Half Empty - which is prone to conflict on every front, by employer or your organization, manipulated by a mysterious red AC - would drive anyone in service over the edge.

The Wild Hunt / int_e60d3d7a	comment	There have also been a few fey-type creatures themed after the Wild Hunt. The lunar ravagers are essentially fey versions of the Predator, who descend via moonbeams to hunt intelligent prey. Hoary hunters are epic-level threats who appear on cold, moonlit nights to chase down and enslave victims — the only way to get a hoary hunter off your track is to kill it and its fellows, evade it nine times, or live the rest of your life somewhere that never experiences frost, because the hunters will wait for decades for another shot at their quarry. Eventually, the 3.5th Edition Monster Manual V came out with a "Wild Hunt" creature entry, containing both skull-headed, bear-sized hunting hounds and the master of the hunt himself, a towering, antler-helmed fey archer who can do absurd amounts of damage with his bow, and can track any creature beneath the moon.
