A bestiary is usually a volume containing information on different creatures, either living or mythical, depending on the focus of the treatise. In CD Projekt's The Witcher franchise, bestiary entries are acquired through listening to folktales and reading books. Once acquired, they can be found in the Journal. These entries describe the various monsters that Geralt meets or learns about during the course of his travels, including their appearance, primary characteristics and usable parts. In this wiki, those entries can be found in bestiary categories.
Lists of bestiaries found in the games are shown below.
