Awakened Being Hunting Party

A hunting party normally consists of four Claymores of varying strength, their mission: killing an Awakened Being. Despite the presence of a single-digit Claymore, who is normally included, the hunt can still end with the death or Awakening of a party member.

Organization
Hunting parties are formed by the Organization upon request from the public (the current situation in Alphonse is an exception, where hunting parties are proactive).

Typically a single-digit becomes the leader of three double-digit Claymores. Due to the Normally solitary lifestyle Claymores have, its been implied that a hunting party gathered together had the tendency to frequently argue when working together. Few examples of team tactics by Claymore are seen, until the mobilization of 24 warriors by Miria in the Northern Campaign, where it became necessary.

However unknowingly to the Claymores, its been implied and later confirmed that Hunting Parties of Awakened Beings also doubled as a method used by the Organization to dispose of troublesome Claymores in secret. As seen with the cases of the Paburo Hunting Party and the Northern War, where the Organization notably sent Claymores who where either considered expendable or who where becoming too troublesome to deal with by purposefully sending them to go up against an Awakened Being they stood no choice of defeating and their annihilation was completely planned out.
