To study fabulous beasts, you may have to trek mountainpaths tracking a yeti, traipse over barren tundra to spy abehemoth, dive into deep seas seeking a leviathan, or lurk beside glowing coals at the mouth of a volcano to temptout a salamander.

Each beast leaves certain signs of itself behind:tracks, remains of its prey or foraging, scat (dung ordroppings), and stories told about it by local people.
