There isn't an awful lot to know. The creature will be Amphibian in nature, so it can be in water and on land. You'll get the hunt from the Headmaster of the academy, so you can begin there, and then travel to Oakridge City for a boat ride to Wolfwater. Some dialog with the Mayor, maybe some locals, and lure the creature into the open. I might have Celise go as well, so you won't be alone.
