Carnival of Monsters

Carnival of Monsters. The Royal Monstrological Society is very exquisite. Every year, the society only allows a single budding monstrologer to join the elite union. In order to be incorporated into the circle of the most prestigious monster experts of the entire empire for sagging and traditions, applicants must come up with the most impressive and magnificent menageries of monstrous beings. That's why the competing contenders embark on journey of discovery to magical countries and search for the most exotic animals. A small financial support of the society allows the adventure and hiring of helpers. At the end of the fourth hunting season, the applicants finally present their collection.
