abstract = {We present multiwavelength observations of two gap transients that were followed by the Carnegie Supernova Project-II. The observations are supplemented with data obtained by a number of different programs. Here in the first of two papers, we focus on the
intermediate-luminosity red transient (ILRT) designated SNhunt120, while in a companion paper we examine the luminous red novae
AT 2014ej. Our data set for SNhunt120 consists of an early optical discovery, estimated to be within three days after outburst, the subsequent optical and near-infrared broadband followup extending over a period of about two months, two visual and two near-infrared
wavelength spectra, and Spitzer Space Telescope observations extending from early (+28 d) to late (+1155 d) phases. SNhunt120
resembles other ILRTs such as NGC 300-2008-OT and SN 2008S, and like these other ILRTs, SNhunt120 exhibits prevalent midinfrared emission at both early and late phases. From the comparison of SNhunt120 and other ILRTs to electron-capture supernova
simulations, we find that the current models underestimate the explosion kinetic energy and thereby produce synthetic light curves
that overestimate the luminosity. Finally, examination of pre-outburst Hubble Space Telescope images yields no progenitor detection.},
