Wild Hunters during Wild Hunt event
Wild Hunters are participants in the annual Wild Hunt event.
Description
Wild Hunters are predominantly male humans[1] dressed primarily with animal skins and trained in the art of magic like witches and wizards, albeit more specialized in hunting and combating ghosts and armed with enchanted weapons instead of wands. Instead of flying brooms, Wild Hunters fly with flying wolves as a steed. Other than that, not much is known about them, let alone whether female members do exist since they only appeared in Sky War Stanship.
Powers and Equipment
All Wild Hunters are armed with enchanted weapons designed to banish ghosts where said weapons are fashioned into dual-bladed swords, spears, and/or bows and arrows. Their weapons are crafted from magic-infused ores such as Silverfang Stones. They can be converted to pure energy form for powering up things, as shown through their recharging Grand Charion's magic energy reserves. In addition to this, Wild Hunters can magically conceal their presence so that only witches, their fellow hunters, and magical creatures can perceive them.
As stated previously, they can fly with the aid of their wolf-like steed.

Trivia
- Wild Hunter group are possibly themed after European folk myths about ghostly or supernatural group of huntsmen of the same name. It is said that seeing this group was thought to presage some catastrophe such as war or plague, or at best the death of the one who witnessed it.
- In Scandinavia, the Wild Hunt is known as Oskoreia, a corruption of Ásgård-reið, and as Oensjaegeren ('Odin's Hunters').
- The fact that Wild Hunters are predominantly male indicated majorities of the group's members may indeed be wizards albeit ones whose training had a greater focus on banishing ghosts with enchanted weapons and riding flying wolves as steed.
