Eonster Hunter (Original Chinese: 爆兽猎人, bào shòu liè rén, lit. "Explosive Monster Hunter") was a toy line series created by China-based Lingdong Creative in 2017. The toy line consists of egg-shaped magnetically activated marbles and an AR-based card game. Although egg-shaped, the designs of the marbles and gameplay strongly resemble elements from the Bakugan series, including the then-unreleased Bakugan Battle Planet. The toys saw wide release in China, a limited English release in Vietnam, and a small release in South Korea. In 2018, Spin Master sued Lingdong Creative on the basis of patent infringement. The toy line combined magnetic marbles and an augmented reality card game, providing a unique interactive experience. Players could engage with the game through magnetic marbles and further interact using AR cards, making the series somewhat innovative at the time. Despite its design similarities to Bakugan, Eonster Hunter gained widespread recognition in the Chinese market.
