'''Myth Hunters''' are players who investigate [[About Myths|the myths of Roblox]] and explore them and their games.
== About==
Myth hunters are players who analyze and investigate [[About Myths|Roblox Myths]]. These players will try to explain these myths’ stories and they will most likely explore myth games that are apart of the myth or will watch myth hunting videos showing people who have interacted with myths as a part of their researching. These players are usually in Myth Hunter Associations/Groups, such as [[Mythsman: Myth Investigation Service]].   

===Myth Hunt ===
A Myth Hunt is a form of activity where groups or organizations would bring attention to certain myths and would investigate/research these myths. These Myth Hunts are started by an HR from a Myth Hunter Group/Association. A popular example of a myth hunt is when [[Mrflimflam|Flamingo]] created the fake myth demonboy8929381 and started a myth hunt for this myth. 

==Types of Myth Hunters==

*'''Youtubers''' - These people are Myth Hunters and Youtubers who would record their exploration of myth games or post their theories in YouTube videos. They may also record their interactions with a Myth. An example is [[Mrflimflam]], a popular Youtuber who records his interactions of myths, such as [[The Smiles Family]] or [[Grocery Gang]].
*'''Groups/Associations''' - These Myth Hunters are in Myth Hunting Groups or is in control of one and they will most likely have participate in a Myth Hunt which are started from HR’s group-shouting a game. They are mostly the reason why myths are growing.

==History==
During 2008, Myth Hunting was slowly becoming popular due to the amount of Myth accounts that were being created throughout the late 2000’s. Players would create the first myth hunting groups, such as the [[Roblox Myth Hunters]]. Later in 2011, the [[Robloxian Myth Hunters]] group was founded by [[Jokerkid5898]] as a way to communicate with other myth hunters, bringing in more myth hunters. In 2014, the [[Roblox’s Myths]] group was founded by [[Kazdam]]. Their infamous Nursery Myths/Shadelight investigation helped make myth hunting more popular and inspired more myth hunting groups to be created. During the mid-2010’s, popular myth hunting groups started gaining traction, such as [[Mythsman: Myth Investigation Service]] and the [[Paradox of Myths]]. '''YouTubers''' that were also myth hunters was on the rise, such as [[Mrflimflam|Flamingo]]. His investigation of [[DrMach]] in 2018 brought a spike in popularity of the myth community. Currently there are many myth hunting groups with thousands of active members.
