Zhang Bao Ranged Infantry

Yaoguai Hunters

'Yaoguai' are said to be demons and spirits that, through Taoist practice, have gained form and magical powers, and seek immortality. 'Guai' - or 'demon' - are malevolent in their intent; difficult to see, yet powerful and dangerous.

The Yaoguai Hunters are so named because they are inspired by that same dark intent - to strike, unseen, wreaking havoc and destruction then fading back into the air.
