Clare arrives in the village and immediately senses the presence of the monster, despite its perfect human disguise.
A village is terrorized by a Yoma, a humanoid monster that devours humans and can perfectly mimic its victims' appearance and memories.
Humans despise and fear Claymores, viewing them as monsters just as dangerous as the Yoma they kill.
Desperate for help, the village elders hire a "Claymore"—a half-human, half-Yoma warrior named Clare.
