Awakened Being Hunting Party

Definition

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. Typically a single-digit becomes the leader of three double-digit Claymores. Normally solitary Claymore are shown and implied 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.
