From the introduction:
If you are reading this, then I have either made it to the big times or you stumbled upon my body in some desolate ruins of the old world. If it’s the latter, I only ask that you don’t leave my body in an embarrassing position. Please.
But, regardless of how you found this journal, I want to welcome you to my survey of the fauna of the Equestrian Wasteland. Or, as I like to call the compilation, our Gilded Cage. I have roamed all over this world, traveling to every corner of the map. I know this Sun-forsaken land like the back of my hoof. I would like to be your guide on your own personal tour of the Wasteland as I reveal the various creatures which inhabit these Wastes and how far away you should keep from all of them.
