A situation in which the Hunter Archetype fixates on an animal as his Arch-Enemy as a result of twisted logic, almost always a direct result of a past personal grudge. Be it an animal that constantly thwarts his efforts or just some plain old mindless beast that made off with one of the human's limbs, the human dedicates all of his time and effort toward the capture or killing of the beast, even if it kills him. A human Super-Persistent Predator — in some cases, the Hunter is justified in hunting the animal because It Can Think. In others, the Hunter himself illustrates that Humans Are the Real Monsters or Humans Are Cthulhu. See He Who Fights Monsters. Please note that animals with clearly human intelligence, behavior, and ability to communicate with humans do not qualify. Someone must be seeking revenge against an animal that acts like an animal. For villains who act animalistic, see Feral Villain. Frequently, media that employ this trope will reference the Trope Codifier, Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, though it would be an oversimplification to say that this trope is the whole point of the book. It is one of many points. Compare Enmity with an Object. |

There was a character in Disney's Aladdin: The Series that was obsessed with hunting down some sort of desert whale/shark, in what was obviously a homage to Moby-Dick. His quest was actually quite practical, as the belly of the sand shark was covered in precious jewels. Far from seeking revenge, the captain was hunting for sport, and when he does catch it, he has no idea what he will do now, so he decides to cut the shark free and hunt it again. | |

Parodied in Railsea by China Miéville, in which Captain Naphi is perpetually hunting Mocker-Jack, the blonde giant mole that took her arm. In the community Naphi comes from, every real hunter is required to have an Animal Nemesis that they've been maimed by and which has some symbolic or metaphorical meaning to them, and it turns out that she didn't actually lose the arm and was only pretending to have an Artificial Limb so they'd take her vendetta seriously. | |

Brother Bear: Kenai hunting down the bear (Koda's mother) doesn't start with a large personal grudge, but devolves into one. Initially, he is somewhat angry at it, but primarily intends to retrieve a basket the bear stole in order to prove how tough he is. However, after Sitka dies trying to protect him from the bear, Kenai decides to avenge Sitka by killing it. Denahi later tries the same thing when he believes a bear has killed Kenai... but unbeknownst to him, that bear is Kenai. | |

The Simpsons: In one episode, Homer is menaced by a bear and constructs a metal "safety suit" in order to kill the creature and regain his respect, which elicits the page quote. However, this gets subverted when Homer realizes the bear is lashing out in pain due to an electronic tracking tag on its ear, so he removes the tag, ends up befriending the now gentle bear, and gives it the suit so it can brave a gauntlet of hunters to get to a wildlife preserve. Which sparks a feud between the bear and a particularly mean-spirited elephant. Another episode has Homer try to go after some food-stealing raccoons, only for Bart to remind him about his feud with the worms. Not only did Homer lose, but the worms made him build a statue of himself bowing before them. |

Tick Tock the crocodile is this for Captain Hook in Peter Pan, as he ate the captain's hand. He's also an interesting example, as while the ending shows he's more than willing to take a bite out of Hook if the opportunity presents itself, the croc for his part isn't all that fussed about getting at Hook, and is content to simply mess with him. Contrast this with the Croc from the original novel, which was hell-bent on finishing the meal it started years ago. | |

Ahab was referenced in the movie Star Trek: First Contact, when Captain Picard brutally guns down several Borg in the holodeck and refuses demands to self-destruct the Enterprise in lieu of stopping the mechanical menaces personally, all because of the violations he suffered when they assimilated him and his anger over Starfleet's inability to halt their encroaching on Federation space. Lampshaded when the 21st-century woman referencing the book admitted that she hadn't actually read it and only remembered the idiom that went with it. Soon after the release of that movie, Patrick Stewart played Ahab in a made-for-TV movie of Moby Dick, mainly because he was so good at a referenced state of mind that they decided he would be good for the real thing. Ironically, this film introduced the Borg Queen, moving the Borg too far up the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism to count as a straight example of this trope; up until that point the Borg Collective had been portrayed as a Horde of Alien Locusts with some sort of controlling AI that might not even be sentient, and individual drones developing any individual personality traits was outright harmful to it. |

In Phineas and Ferb this is essentially an institution, with every single one of the show's Card-Carrying Evil Scientists (of which there are many) having an intelligent animal secret agent as a "nemesis," and seemingly more than one organization devoted to the training and assignment of these agents. Unlike most examples, these animal nemeses tend to be the aggressor in the dynamic (being sent to foil their human enemies' evil schemes as a matter of routine), and the results tend to be reciprocal Friendly Enemy relationships. The series' most prominent example is, of course, Perry the Platypus as nemesis to Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, until the latter makes a Heel–Face Turn and they become a regular old Interspecies Friendship by the end of the series and into Stealth Sequel Milo Murphy's Law. | |

The Thunder Cats 2011 episode "Ramlak Rising" (yet another Whole-Plot Reference to Moby-Dick) gives us a peculiar Inversion. Ahab-Homage Captain Koinelius Tunar, a Fishman who sails the sand sea, has sworn vengeance on the creature who destroyed his home and took his eye and leg. His nemesis the Ramlak is a giant Planimal, a Man-Eating Plant that's hybridized with the ambulatory capabilities of a Giant Squid. Like Captain Ahab, Tunar has degenerated into prizing Revenge Before Reason and shares Ahab's fate almost exactly, while quoting his dialogue. | |

After Chicago gangster "Nails" Morton was thrown, dragged and kicked to death in 1923 when the horse he was riding went wild, enraged members of Dean O'Banion's Northside gang took this to absurd extremes by giving a mob-style execution to an animal incapable of understanding one. After either renting the horse from the stable or allegedly stealing it at gunpoint, it was led to where Nails had been killed; Louis "Two-Gun" Alterie, known as being hot-headed even for a Northsider, supposedly punched the horse in the face, and the beast was then killed with four bullets to the head. The incident, along with other rough outlines of the O'Banion gang's history, would go on to inspire the plot of The Public Enemy (1931). | |

Despite the antagonism between them, Clint is heartbroken when General Kincaid kills Jericho when the horse attacks him to protect Clint. | |

MonsterVerse: In Kong: Skull Island, Colonel Packard becomes obsessed with hunting down the titular ape after Kong annihilates most of his helicopter squadron. His single-minded obsession endangers the lives of the surviving members of the expedition, most of whom just want to get off the damn island, and ultimately gets Packard killed without causing any lasting harm to Kong. Godzilla has also been this to Mark Russell and Ren Serizawa respectively. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Mark despises Godzilla and wants him dead, due to Mark's son being among the casualties of Godzilla's battle against the MUTOs and Mark having spent the last several years holding onto that grief. The novelization of Godzilla vs. Kong reveals that Ren wants Godzilla dead because he blames Godzilla for his lifetime of Parental Neglect and for the late Ishir� Serizawa's Heroic Sacrifice to save Godzilla permanently dashing Ren's hopes of reconciling with his father. Mark learns during the former movie to let go of his grudge against Godzilla, whereas Ren does not. |

Sawyer in Lost has managed to do this on two separate occasions. Once chasing after a boar who ransacked his tent and then chasing after a treefrog which annoyed him with its croaking. He eventually caught up with both of them with help from Kate and Hurley respectively. He decided to let the boar go as it was "just an animal" but then rejected Hurley's offer to relocate the frog and simply crushed it in his hand. | |

In Chapter 5 of Bug Fables, Kabbu leads his team on a revenge-driven quest to slay the Beast, a giant centipede that killed his mentor and his best friend. It should be noted that, normally, Kabbu is an Ideal Hero who serves as The Heart to the team, and when he became obsessed with killing the beast, his teammates are understandably worried. Also worth mentioning that, while every character in the game is a bug, the main characters are sentient bugs, and the beast is an animalistic "lesser bug", though it does show sadistic tendencies while preying on Kabbu and his friends. | |

Leela in the Futurama episode "Möbius Dick", a Whole-Plot Reference to Moby-Dick. It parodies the concept further, as the Space Whale she hunts feeds on obsession, so it naturally antagonizes ship captains. Leela eventually overwhelms the whale's will with a bigger obsession than revenge: finishing her delivery! | |

Jaws: Quint, at least, wants revenge against the shark (as a stand-in for the sharks that killed many of the men after the Indianapolis, which he was on, sank). The others are more motivated by "we need to kill it because it keeps eating people". This became the go-to plot for many '70s killer animals flicks, such as Grizzly and Orca: The Killer Whale. |
