Monstrologist
A monstrologist is a type of sage who studies Monstrosities. This includes descriptions of the monstrosity's appearance, behavior, abilities, and intelligence, as well as dissection of dead monstrosities to understand their physical and arcane properties.
Monstrosities are a wide category of creatures; monstrologists usually specialize in the monstrous life of a single location or biome, though some take a more generalist approach.

The books and articles published by monstrologists like Peter Burkbeholder are distributed far and wide in academies that train would-be Adventurers, such as the Wizarding University of the Aquatic Kingdoms. Knowledge of the potential dangers faced in the mysterious, dark, and wild places of the world can mean the difference between a successful adventuring career and a painful early death.
Monstrologists' findings are also valuable resources for Alchemists. Various byproducts harvested by monsters are useful in potionmaking, spellcrafting, and the invention of magical items.
Dangers & Hazards
Monstrology beyond the strictly theoretical is a dangerous business, suited only to brave scholars well-equipped for battle. Most monstrosities are dangerous even if not provoked. Everything from bites from Rust Monsters and partial digestion from Mimics to total petrification by basilisks is a possibility for monstrologists in the field.
