Predators

Note: Not to be confused with the Predators.

Predators are carnivorous creatures whether they are Animals, Monsters, Demons, and/or Aliens who hunt and kill for food. Some may even do it, not only do it for hunger but also sadism and sport before they devour their victims. This villain archetype is one of the oldest, if not, the oldest since predatory creatures of all shapes and sizes have collectively existed for as long as life has on Earth.

Predators typically act out of instinct and a need to eat rather than genuine maliciousness; thus they are considered Ferals.

However, this should not be entirely mistaken with human predators who are Cannibals and/or Man-Eaters if they hunt within their own species or Perverts if they are sexual predators. This category is for creatures who have to eat other creatures in order to live, such as Animalistic Predators - however, these categories can overlap in some cases.

Although many of these villains hunt and kill for food, they don't necessarily need to do so in order to qualify for this category. Some of these predators are simply members of species that are predatory in nature, such as felines, canines, bears, and birds of prey.

NOTE:[]

• This is about food chain which predators need to survive by killing for food when they're hungry. Predators is a type of animals and always neutral characters, but also not all predators are animals because they many of them are just preys.
• However, these can be Pure Evil if they show sadism and enjoy torturing their victims while they hunt for food (e.g. One-Eye, Dag, Ridley), or their status as a predator has nothing to do with their motives and behavior (e.g. Vecna, Scar, General Scales).
