The Witcher is a series that draws heavily from Eastern European mythology. The Witcher games are based on the books by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, and CD Projekt RED, a Polish game development studio, has remained faithful to the lore and setting of the books. As such, many of the monsters found in The Witcher games, including The Witcher 3, are drawn from Eastern European mythology. The Witcher 4 is likely to be no different, withThe Witcher 4's trailer featuring a monster, a bauk—a typical monster from Eastern European legend.
