{{Lore}}
The [[Youkai-go]] word ''makaryuudo'' (魔狩人) literally translates to "evil hunter". One of the kanji, 魔 (''ma'', demon), is the same as in the word for ''mamono'' (魔物).
A makaryuudo is a member of a ''makari-dan'' (魔狩団), literally a "demon hunting group," but more commonly translated to '''mamono hunting group'''. These groups are comprised exclusively of civilian [[youkai]], typically with a background in hunting, farming, courier work, or general adventuring. There exists at least 20 makari-dan across the Mazes; at least one can be found in every [[Youkai Nation]] town, plus a smattering in the rest of the world.
Makaryuudo are trained in the use of swords, bolt-action rifles, and select-fire combat rifles. New recruits receive almost militaristic training and discipline before they can be minted as full members. Although there are simple hierarchies, makari-dan leaders are no different from regular members in terms of equipment; they are simply in charge of recruitment and deciding what missions to undertake next. A makari-dan leader is officially known as the "boss of the hunt" (狩のボス, ''kari no bosu''), but is more frequently referred to as simply "the boss" or "Boss-san" (ボスさん, ''bosu-san'').
The self-proclaimed mission of all makaryuudo is to "advance the cause of youkai rights through the extermination of their feral cousins," the mamono. They believe that the existence of mamono is a liability for all youkai, not only because they are dangerous creatures in their own right, but also because they are often conflated with youkai. Makari-dan are not open to all and only accept youkai into their ranks.
Most people interpret the role of makaryuudo as that of a prototypal militia whose activities are similar to the original purpose of the [[Maze Military]]. While their stated missions are exclusively focused on mamono, makaryuudo are skilled hunters who often "supplement" their mamono-hunting missions with regular creature hunting and threat extermination. Their areas of operation are primarily centered in the [[Civilized Area|Northeastern Zone]] and connecting roads and towns in the Northern, Central, and Eastern Zones.
Although many makaryuudo are fervently pro-[[Youkai Nation]], all makari-dan make a point of differentiating themselves from [[activist fighter|activist fighters]] by wearing reinforced leather outfits, traditional leather equipment, and custom patches representing their town of origin. While the [[Maze Military]] does not officially recognize any specific makari-dan or makaryuudo in general as a threat, the rare interactions between soldiers and makaryuudo are typically tense and hostile, presumably due to the latter being an organized, armed group of youkai.
