Contract: Strange Beast is a witcher contract on Hindarsfjall in Skellige. You would expect Skelligers to handle their own monster problems, and usually they do, but the village of Larvik has posted a notice asking for help with some troublesome beasts in the area. The contract can also start if Geralt finds the site of an ambush on his own.

Geralt discovers that the attacks come from nekkers living in the woods nearby, but nekkers are not usually this organised. Something is leading them: a nekker warrior known as Hagubman, a large and unusually cunning specimen who has turned the pack into a real threat.

Nekkers are weak on their own but dangerous in groups, so Ogroid oil, Dancing Star or Grapeshot bombs and Igni are good choices. Destroying their nests with bombs keeps more of them from pouring out. When Hagubman falls, the pack scatters, and Larvik can breathe again.
