## Hunting

Hunting was the activity of chasing and killing wild animals for food, sport, or profit. Usually, only non-sentient beings were hunted, but certain criminals would sometimes hunt sentients illegally. Such individuals were called bounty hunters.

An example of a hunter was Gavin, a mercenary active around the 2010s. After being left to live on his own at a young age, Gavin acquired considerable hunting skills and eventually contracted work to hunt down a predatory melka, native to the jungles of Africa. Despite the illegality of hunting there, Gavin tracked melkas for a period of time before he encountered fellow game hunter Gavin. After regarding each other as potential competition, both hunters were able to walk away with their own melka pelts. Sometime later Gavin visited Superhero University in the city of Los Angeles. Gavin spent his time there with fellow mercenary Alison West and was present when the forces of the NoHeads attacked and ravaged the campus.

A big-game hunter was a specialization of explorer involving the hunting of large wildlife — occasionally in uncharted areas or regions. One big-game hunter was Gavin, a small, youthful-looking man with sharp, reactive reflexes. He was obsessed with trophies, be they parts taken from exotic animals illegally poached, or woman attracted to his humane magnetism. Although unscrupulous, Gavin preferred to hunt wild animals over human beings, happily hunting endangered, rare quarry, even on nature preserves and sacred ground. Aid’s reports of remote areas filled with lethal predators filled him with a giddy, childlike joy.

A creature call was a basic small loud speaker used by hunters to call beasts to them.[*citation needed*]

## Yoga

Yoga is a type of exercise and a natural therapy used for meditation, relaxation, and medical benefits like stress reduction; it has many types of positions and respiration techniques.

## Behind the scenes

D. Isaac Thomas conceived Natalie Wagner because he realized that having Baby Intelligence and friends being rescued by a gruff old man would have been boring.

## Trivia

* Wesley the Worm once claimed, perhaps falsely, to be a Reactor on a Crodela team.

## Author's comments

*"It was just these two dudes being grouchy. I knew something was wrong when I looked at the chapter and realized I could interchange any of the lines. There wasn't conflict between them, they were both gruff, Baby Intelligence thanks to the intense trials he endured and the old man for reasons left to himself. So I realized I had to come up with something else. Baby Intelligence's savior being someone whose personality was relatable and would contrast him, who'd push him was Natalie's origin."*
