This guy just loves to hunt. He doesn't do it for food, or because his prey is a danger to mankind, not even because It's Personal. He will hunt anything that tickles his fancy and he does it for the thrill and the glory and self-gratification. He is an adventurer and egomaniac. He doesn't shoot ducks over a pond; his prey has to live far, far away in a most dangerous and uncomfortable location and be hard to find, impressive looking, and immensely powerful. Great cats, large sea creatures, elephants, and crocodiles as well as birds of prey come to mind. If the author is more fantastically inclined, he can let the Egomaniac Hunter go after dragons, dinosaurs note Non-avian ones, that is, phoenixes, unicorns, you name it. Sometimes, the Egomaniac Hunter even goes after anthropomorphic animals, despite or even as a direct result of knowing that they are sapient. This is typically played off as Black Comedy, but may also be Played for Drama as a very uncomfortable yet chillingly logical conclusion to What Measure Is a Non-Human?. This character isn't very likable in modern renditions. His (and it's almost always a man) usual traits include some of these: selfishness, recklessness, trigger-happiness, racism and arrogance. Older works show him in a more favorable light, but often, he's seen as decadent by them, too. Extra points for striking the Captain Morgan Pose over his fallen victim, having a gallery of rare trophies, endangering others in his hunts, gleefully shooting something that everyone knows is the last of its kind just so he can have it mounted and stuffed, or chasing sapient game. He is usually European or American (perhaps with an occasional Awesome Aussie or Amoral Afrikaner thrown in for flavour), but he can have any real or fictional ethnicity. He provides contrast to reasonable or anviliciously eco-sensitive heroes; he can bring danger to the group, die a funny death, or just be the hero's employer whom he brings along for the ride. This character type also commonly appears in Horror or Adventure films where the antagonist is some kind of huge, dangerous animal or monster. Because Hunters Are Evil, he will sooner or later break the law to be able to continue with the killing and become an Evil Poacher, provided, of course, he isn't already one. Subtrope of Classical Hunter and In Harm's Way. For the heroic counterpart, see Great White Hunter. For an appropriate fantasy or sci-fi analogue, see Proud Hunter Race. If they are so successful as to wipe out an entire species, they may cross over into The Great Exterminator. Despite the name and his personality, not to be confused with pro wrestler Triple H, who was previously known as Hunter Hearst Helmsley. |

Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!: Alphonse LaFleur is a boastful professional hunter obsessed with bagging the Abominable Snowman but suffers scores of Amusing Injuries in the process. He tricks Shaggy and Scooby into accompanying him to serve as "the bait no monster can refuse." That being said, most to all of his traps are non-lethal ones (indicating he plans to take the monster alive), and he abandons his hunt after believing that the Snowman may have saved his life. | |

Sir Malcolm Murray of Penny Dreadful starts out as the Great White Hunter but the further the audience learns of him it's apparent that he's a deconstruction of the character archetype and comes to resemble this trope more closely. He's butchered and raped his way across Africa. He's mentioned having lured predatory lions into ambushes with dead lambs in favor the more sporting action of stalking them down. And in his quest for glory left behind his son Peter to die to continue the journey. When his son's dying wish was to have a mountain named after him Malcolm instead upon discovery of the territory named it after himself. | |

The Silmarillion gives a surprisingly early example of this trope being portrayed in a negative light — and not because the author disapproves of hunting either. Celegorm, son of Fëanor, fits this trope quite well. For starters, his name literally means "quick riser": a reference to his quick temper. He was the favorite of the Vala Oromë back in Valinor. While in his younger days he appeared to be a half-way decent character, by the time he appears in the story proper he's a selfish and power-hungry Jerkass. He is one of only two elves ever shown contemplating a forced marriage, and only doesn't go through with it because the girl escapes. While he isn't on the side of the Dark Lord, he manages to do almost as much damage to The Heroes as he: the Second Kinslaying, involving the invasion and sacking of Doriath, was his idea. Oh, yes, and despite being an excellent hunter he conspicuously doesn't bother trying to find and rescue his own brother from the Big Bad. Celegorm even has the gall to object when Maedhros abdicates in favor of the father of the guy who DID rescue him. He'll "hunt" almost anything: the Silmarils, Lúthien, his cousin's throne, his own dog even. Except that when there's an actual monster to hunt, Carcharoth the werewolf, Celegorm is nowhere to be seen. Tolkien started to write the start where Celegorm first appears in the 1920s, although he originally wrote it in verse and titled it "The Lay of Leithian". But Celegorm is one of the few characters who is completely unchanged between the first drafts and the final version: a notable fact given Tolkien's habit of rewriting his work. | |

The Simpsons Parodied with a hunter character who says "Time for lunch" and fires blindly into the air, killing a condor, then catches it between two slices of bread and eats it. With an intense look on his face. He's after a bear Homer is travelling with, and wants to stop it from reaching a wildlife sanctuary. He's VERY scornful about the very concept of one. Rainier Wolfcastle is also one. He participated in a charity basketball game to help build a nature preserve where he can hunt "the most dangerous game of all", Man. He then goes off to hunt Lenny. |

The Classic Singapore Horror Stories short, "The White Tiger of Kilimanjaro", have it's two leads, a pair of retired policemen-turned-hunters travelling to the Indonesian jungles to hunt a mystical white tiger (who supposedly has sacred powers) for sport, even gunning down several of the local wildlife for no reason other than for fun (at one point, shooting a pregnant babboon and blasting the baby on her shoulders — and congratulating each other for being a good shot). It bites them back hard when they encounter the sacred white tiger near the end. | |

Into the Drowning Deep: Jacques and Michi are some of the most infamous big-game hunters in the world, not least for having shot critically endangered species simply because they wanted to. They're literally aroused by killing things and are treated like Psychos For Hire by the rest of the characters, rightly so, as Jacques admits they've both murdered people who got in the way of their hunts. | |

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, as seen in the page image, plays this character type completely straight. "I use antlers in all of my decorating!" Apparently, one of the deer heads on his wall was meant to be a cameo of Bambi's mom, which led Disney fans to suggest that he was the hunter who shot her. |

Shaw from Open Season is this to twistedly insane levels. He's a paranoid, violent sociopath who shows no regard for any life other than his own and is thus a selfish, vain, evil, egotistical, pompous, and greedy man. This is proved by the sadistic and heartless way in which he's mounted many animals in the forest on his cabin wall and how he drove his truck recklessly to try and kill Elliot, nearly hitting several people along the way. He also shows no regard for the law: hunting in a national park (before the hunting season actually begins), and even going as far as attempting to fire his gun in a crowd. Shaw also has a bizarre love for his hunting gun called "Lorraine" and even seems to believe it to be sentient, talking to it and even offering it a blanket so it wouldn't be cold. To top his ego off, Shaw seems to develop the paranoid belief that animals are becoming as smart as humans and are plotting a rebellion to overthrow mankind and Take Over the World. | |

Hemet Nesingwary from World of Warcraft fits this trope to a tee. His son took over his original hunt when Hemet moved to Outland for bigger game to hunt, where he and his expedition proceeded to instruct players to slaughter an immense number of creatures in one of Outland's few pastoral wildernesses left. Then he left for Northrend, settled down in a primeval jungle (it makes sense when you get there) and cradle of life, and had the nerve to first demand assistance from a dead rhino spirit, then refuse to leave as it asked, saying "no dead rhino'll stop me from hunting wherever I want!"Amusingly, just as players tend to hate Hemet for his ridiculous egomania and his tedious quests (endless slaughter-fests for the most part), an organization of druids, D.E.H.T.A (Druids for the Ethical and Humane Treatment of Animals) has arisen with killing Nesingwary and his increasingly deranged followers as their sole goal. "Hemet Nesingwary" is a Significant Anagram: Ernest Hemingway. On the other hand, D.E.H.T.A itself is a bunch of overaggressive tree-huggers who demand hunter ears as a currency and will literally jump you no matter what your relation with them if you killed an animal, even in self-defense. This includes an aggressive one they saw attack you. |

The Transformers cartoon episode "Prime Target" featured Lord Chumley, who decided his hunting trophy collection would not be complete without the head of Optimus Prime. He is nuts: in the opening of the episode, he shoots down and mounts a Soviet fighter jet as if it were a downed game bird. In order to bait Prime, he captures almost a dozen other Autobots. He even captures a couple Decepticons in the process of wearing Prime down, and later sets them free in the hopes that they'll help him once things inevitably go south. The capture of the Soviet fighter jet was causing political trouble unseen since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Many a fan probably smiles each time they see the jerk dropped off for the Soviets tied to the nosecone of the same jet he stole. | |

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog gave us Katella the Huntress, an utterly gorgeous and depraved woman who travels the galaxy kidnapping people and selling them as exotic species to zoos on other planets. She carries around a portable record player for her own background music and fell madly in love with Dr. Robotnik because of how evil he is. Unfortunately for him, Katella displays her affection by manhandling Robotnik every chance she gets and refuses to take no for an answer. Katella only backs off when Sonic invites Momma Robotnik to their shotgun wedding, and decides it's not worth having her as a mother-in-law. | |

Marvel Universe: Cosmic Villain The Obliterator. An Elder of the Universe, he obtained immortality by being monomaniacally obsessed with one thing — in his case, killing. He is the last member of his own species, as he hunted them all down and killed them one by one (by his own admission, twenty billion of them). He has exterminated huge numbers of worlds in the five billion years of his existence — one living creature at a time. | |

The Predator reveals another motive besides pride. The Yautja harvest the genetic material of their quarry from the trophies they collect. They then use advanced genetic engineering technology to upgrade themselves with said genetic material. The humans discover this when analyzing the blood of a captive Yautja reveals human genetic material in it. The culmination of this genetic enhancement is the Ultimate Predator, a Yautja who dwarfs his classic counterpart. The Ultimate Predator is so tough and strong that he doesn't need armor or advanced weapons to tear apart the other armed and armored Yautja in less than a minute. At the end of the movie the Ultimate Predator takes Rory because his ability to figure out how to use Yautja technology and decipher their language (remember he's a child) means his genetic material is worth harvesting. | |

What separates her from her brother, Gentleman Adventurer Sir Alistair Hammerlock from Borderlands 2 is that she's a Rich Bitch who mainly does it to alleviate her boredom.

When he first appears, he's wearing a sash made from the fur of Wookiee slaves he hunted down and killed as though it were a badge of office. The main character also passes through his trophy room, which is filled with the skulls of various aliens from the Star Wars franchise.

Swamp Thing: Upper-Class Twit and uber-jackass Maximillian Ramhoff from Will Pfeiffer's brief run was one of these; he makes a habit of hunting the rarest creatures possible and making elaborate trophies just because. For instance, he not only kills the last California Condor, he eats it. He also killed the Yeti, has a stuffed thunder lizard, made a coat out of the skunk ape, and sets his sights on Swamp Thing as the plot moves forward. | |

In The Elder Scrolls series, Hircine is the Daedric Prince of the Hunt. He lives for the glory of the hunt and has no reason to do so beyond his own vanity. He prefers Hunting the Most Dangerous Game solely for the sport, including having his own pack of hunting dogs (read: werewolves). Somewhat unusually for the trope, he doesn't consider it a true hunt unless the prey has a sporting chance. Additionally, he has respect for those who do survive his hunts, or better yet, turn the tables on the hunter. | |

A very common personality trait among The Draka. A short story set in the Drakaverse by Harry Turtledove has the Domination's army restricted from using nuclear weapons on an American holdout because its leader wants to keep the area as a nature reserve after the war. | |

The Bill Brasky sketches from Saturday Night Live paint Brasky as one, possibly less "egomaniac" than just plain maniac. He's hunted down and killed all of The Banana Splits with a machete and killed Wolfman Jack with a trident. Interestingly the one time he's mentioned as having hunted a non-human creature, a deer, he merely captured it and then forced it to say his name by manipulating its lips with his hands. | |

Jurassic Park: Roland Tembo from The Lost World: Jurassic Park is portrayed as being this, but most of his actions really show he's more of a Great White Hunter. "Somewhere on this island is the greatest predator this world has ever known. The second greatest must hunt it down." Once the dinos escaped, he focuses on trying to keep people alive, even the idiots responsible for releasing the dinos and endangering everyone in the first place. Ken Wheatley from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, is a straighter example, and acts as a Foil to Tembo. While Tembo is working for InGen in exchange for the opportunity to hunt the fearsome game to ever live, Wheatley is clearly only in it for the money and constantly reminds his employers about his bonus. And while Tembo makes sure his men are holding up and is extremely distraught when his long-time hunting partner is killed, Wheatley is shown to care more about his paycheck than his men. He also proves to be far more incompetent than Tembo and ends up brutally killed after entering the cage of a seemingly tranqed Indoraptor to pull out one of its teeth for his collection without actually checking to see if it was really tranqed. |

The Ghost and the Darkness, subverted. Both Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas play "Great White Hunters" that fit several of the stereotypes listed. Arrogant, glory-seeking adventurers that don't hunt for food. One's even world-famous for hunting. However, both are very sympathetic characters. Val Kilmer's character is surprisingly personable and warm, a family man who reaches out to all around him, high and low, and Michael Douglas' character, who is world-famous for his exploits, actually doesn't like hunting but does it as an escape from memories of the family he lost. | |

Duke Prosper in the Dragon Age II expansion "Mark of the Assassin". He hosts an annual wyvern hunt (both as a social function and to keep the population in check), has a tamed wyvern he rides into battle, and some impressive trophies. In a variation, his actual Evil Plan has little to do with the hunt and it's the PC who has to hunt and kill a wyvern to get close to him. His Boss Banter does include threats to make your party into trophies. | |

The Batman had a one-shot hunter in Killgore Steed (yet another Punny Name) who specializes in hunting endangered species (and the occasional human) in his killer island death maze. He got his karmic comeuppance when The Joker killed him with a pair of hyenas. | |

In an episode of the Dial M for Monkey shorts in Dexter's Laboratory, the titular hero Monkey fought an alien hunter named, appropriately enough, Huntor, who targeted the most dangerous game of all: heroes. Monkey defeated the heavily-armed hunter by relying on his jungle instincts rather than his superpowers, then ditches him on a planet inhabited by giant redneck aliens so he would feel what it's like to be hunted. Huntor would later have a cameo in Samurai Jack, still up to his old tricks. | |

Nimrod, a recurring nemesis of the Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, looks like an extra from Cats and acts like a crazed game show host, but don't underestimate him. In his introductory episode ("The Power Within"), he traps the Rangers in a Hunting the Most Dangerous Game scenario—after removing their badges to prevent them from accessing their Applied Phlebotinum powers. We are also shown that Nimrod has done this several times before with other space travelers.Galaxy Rangers fandom has also referred to him as "a Thundercat on drugs". In a later episode, "Murder on the Andorian Express", he actually helps Doc and Niko take down a Crown assassin, explaining that his whole purpose for getting on the luxury liner in the first place was to hunt the assassin. | |

Grimmel the Grisly from How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is an arrogant, cunning, tenacious, ruthlessly pragmatic, dragon-hating hunter who eliminated all the Night Fury dragons... except for one called Toothless. Described as a single-minded predator who loves getting under the skin of his prey and pulling their strings, Grimmel will do anything to finish the job, even if it means murdering fellow humans. | |

Julian from The Chronicles of Amber combines this with being an Evil Prince. | |
