monster hunting
Pursuing mythical beasts
Monster hunting is the pursuit and killing of supernatural or dangerous creatures—vampires, werewolves, demons, and the like.
The term belongs primarily to fantasy fiction, video games, and folklore, where monster hunters are specialized warriors or professionals: She made her living as a monster hunter.
The activity can be recreational in gaming contexts or treated as deadly serious work in horror narratives.
