Be aware! The wild is just filled with Evil Poachers willing to murder any human who gets in their way. Poaching means any illegal hunting, but in fiction it is usually associated with the hunting of endangered species, such as cute panda babies or meddling kids. Many Evil Poachers have no motivation to hunt and threaten people other than to be evil, which puts them on the same level as the various Green Aesop villains who seemingly pollute out of malice rather than because they are manufacturing anything. If Evil Poachers do get a motive, it will probably be selling their prey on the Black Market. Hunting Is Evil is the Super-Trope. Evil Poachers are Villains by Default in a Kids' Wilderness Epic, a genre in which they tend to end up as slapstick idiots dressed in scary animal skins, sometimes resulting in them seeming less threatening than real poachers can be. In Real Life, poachers are a diverse group. They include subsistence poachers (the vast majority) and farmers, commercial poachers, organized crime, rebel and insurgent militia, military and corrupt officials (the most untouchable), wildlife traffickers, buyers of various animal parts, and illegal trophy hunters. While some are poor people trying to get out of poverty, this is not the case for all of them, though in the case of the ones that are poor, they are typically unable to afford a license. This is also a major reason why poor poachers will often target endangered animals - the rarity of their parts increases the value. However, they do often shoot at park rangers if they encounter them (they're the reason why most rangers in Africa are heavily armed) and are often hired by people in organized crime (which means media that does acknowledge the average poacher's real circumstances is likely to reserve this trope for the mobsters who hire them). It must be noted however, that some fictional poachers do not fit into any of the aformentioned categories. If a poacher does fit any of them, they will typically be a commercial poacher. In addition, due to the various types, their motives vary, with the motives for rebel and insurgent militias for example being to fund their battle against local ethnic groups, state militaries and other militias, making them as far from a real-life example of Tragic Villain as you can possibly get and some poachers-turned-ranger have reported individuals who poach for entertainment rather than for food, money or to fund a campaign. The inversion, Roguish Poacher, is most common in older works, particularly fairy tales and Folk Music. The Roguish Poacher always hunts for food (usually for his starving family) and lives in a Peter Rabbit-vs-Farmer MacGregor kind of relationship with the Evil Fatcat Landowner. If the two do come into conflict, expect Evil Versus Evil to come into play. Compare Karmic Thief. Subtrope of Classical Hunter, as well as Ecocidal Antagonist, since poaching is portrayed as damaging to the ecosystem. A sister trope to the Egomaniac Hunter. Compare with Cruella to Animals and Human Traffickers. Contrast the Hunter Trapper, who hunts and traps legally and is much more likely to see reason; the Roguish Poacher, this guy's Justified Criminal counterpart; and the Great White Hunter, the heroic counterpart. noreallife |

MapleStory has monsters called Evil Poachers in one of the Grand Athenaeum scenarios, who hunt and capture fairies to sell them. Along with grave robbers who also plague the fey lands, these villains are one of the reasons Ephenia hates humans and later decides to ally herself with the Black Mage. | |

The Stuart Gibbs Fun Jungle novels feature several such characters, although it’s also subverted on one occasion when a character who appears to be one of these was merely hired by the park owner to chase away a wild mountain lion without harming it, and said hunter ends up saving the narrators life. | |

The Simpsons: In "Bart Gets an Elephant", Bart gets an elephant as a part of a radio contest. The elephant becomes a handful, so Homer agrees to sell him to an ivory dealer named Blackheart. When Bart and his elephant run away during the night, Homer at first thinks Blackheart took them both. He yells out the window: "That wasn't part of the deal, Blackheart! THAT WASN'T PAAARRRT!" "Simpson Safari" has the family going on a trip to Africa and meeting a Jane Goodall Expy. She convinces them to help her defend her chimpanzee sanctuary from a group of Evil Poachers. The trope gets flipped when it turns out that they are with Greenpeace and are trying to free the chimps from her diamond mine. She admits that she snapped, then buys everyone off with diamonds from her illegal chimp-slave diamond mine. |

Gnawgahyde, one of the Dreadnoks from G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. The fact that other poachers couldn't stand Gnawgahyde and chased him out of Africa is some indication of just how detestable this Dreadnok can be. He is a belligerent hunter who is convinced that all animals are lesser life-forms suitable for skinning, eating, or stuffing. | |

Roland Smith's eight-book Cryptid Hunters continuity, consisting of the Jacob Lansa trilogy, Sasquatch and the Cryptid Hunters quartet, regularly features poachers. During the first Jacob Lansa book, Jacob witnesses another man who tries to get the poachers to change their ways by severing the tusks from elephants in a humane way that allows them to grow back and be harvested again at a later time (in real life this is impossible due to the way tusks grow), but the poachers prefer the old method of just killing the animals anyway. | |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers villains sometimes fall into this: Looten Plunder is an Evil Poacher who is also an Evil Capitalist. Sometimes he engages in poaching for profit, sometimes for entertainment, both cases having some truth in reality. Later, the Planeteers and Captain Planet deal with an Egomaniac Hunter/Evil Poacher family known as the Slaughters, led by Mame Slaughter and Stalker Slaughter. The Slaughters even team up with Looten Plunder in one episode. Hoggish Greedly is also an evil poacher, to a lesser extent, because he seeks out endangered and rare animals as much as he does common ones. |

Tarzan and His Mate involves Arlington and Holt, who expect Tarzan to lead them to an Elephant Graveyard. It's debatable as to whether they count as this at the beginning, since ivory harvesting wasn't illegal at the time, but Arlington surely qualifies as he tries to murder Tarzan after Tarzan brings a stop to the expedition. The film certainly views ivory harvesting as Evil Poaching, as Tarzan and Jane return all the ivory to the graveyard at the end. | |

Doraemon movies: Right in the first movie, Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur has Nobita, Doraemon and friends being menaced by the Dinosaur Hunters, the Starter Villain of the entire franchise, a group of futuristic poachers who wanted to steal Nobita's new baby dinosaur, Piisuke, for themselves, and are not above shooting at the gang when their demands are refused. Doraemon: Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds has a band of poachers arrested by the Sky People while they're slaughtering a family of elephants in Africa. These poachers managed to escape custody, steal one of the Sky People's transports, and later hijacks a powerful WMD from Doraemon intending to destroy the Kingdom of Clouds out of spite. Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~ is set in the titular futuristic nature reserve where Doraemon and friends are inevitably stranded upon when another group of poachers from the future attacks the place with their giant robots. They also have a number of enslaved animals via Obediance Collars which they command to attack the gang. Subverted in Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur, a remake of the first Doraemon movie, which have Nobita becoming the owner of two pet dinosaurs, and once again the gang are stalked by a mysterious entity who took interest in Nobita's new pets. But it turns out they're actually a division of the Time Police and on the side of good, though the Dinosaur Hunters from the first film gets name-dropped as a Continuity Nod. |

Tarzan: Clayton combines attributes of the Evil Poacher and the Egomaniac Hunter, though he might not be the former. Yes, he is there to capture gorillas, but in those days that is typically how such animals were brought to civilization, not through breeding programs in zoos. With this in mind, Clayton is most likely either a subversion or an outright aversion, in that while he is evil, he isn't actually a poacher, with his actual crimes being mutiny (as his men were from the ship's crew) and attempted murder. | |

Legend of the Animal Healer featured more than one of these as villains, ranging from outsiders who don't care about the preserve to sympathetic people just trying to feed their families. | |

Charles Muntz from Up. He is so desperate and determined to bring the famed 'Monster of Paradise Falls' back to civilization alive so as to prove that his claims about it are true after having been discredited and sent falling from grace in the past that he's willing to straight up murder any and all people he subsequently sees at Paradise Falls out of an insane belief that they'll try to do so before him even when said people weren't even aware of the existence of him or said monster. | |

Island (2000) by Gordon Korman - the poacher villains in the second and third books are pretty evil. They are ready to kill a starving, shipwrecked 14 year old who is willing to keep quiet until they realize he's worth a ton of money. | |

Inverted in "Crocodile" Dundee — the title character is a "croc poacher". Dundee's job was actually to catch dangerous crocodiles that represented a threat to humans. However, in the first movie, this trope is played straight with a group of poachers who are illegally spotlighting kangaroos for fun before Dundee uses a kangaroo disguise and a high-powered rifle to turn the tables on them. |

Subverted in Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur, a remake of the first Doraemon movie, which have Nobita becoming the owner of two pet dinosaurs, and once again the gang are stalked by a mysterious entity who took interest in Nobita's new pets. But it turns out they're actually a division of the Time Police and on the side of good, though the Dinosaur Hunters from the first film gets name-dropped as a Continuity Nod. | |

Pokémon: The Series - Since the setting of the series involves people catching many creatures for various reasons (most often to use in official sports competitions or as pets and companions) as a way of life, it has to designate its Evil Poachers differently: An easy way to spot a poacher is if he is using any tools beyond a Poké Ball, such as nets or cages. If he is using a Poké Ball, is it a regular Poké Ball or a modified one that never misses its capture (like Mewtwo's balls (though he wasn't specifically an Evil Poacher) or the Dark Balls (which brainwashes captured Pokémon and turns them into fighting machines) used by the Iron Masked Marauder)? Are they attempting to capture more than one Pokémon of a certain type at a time, outside of a designated Safari Zone? And most obviously, does the targeted Pokémon clearly already belong to someone else? Team Rocket often poaches, for example in the Safari Zone episode. There was also a trio of poachers that caused Larvitar to be separated from its mom, and the one Team Rocket fought who was capturing Poison-type Pokémon in this way; Arbok and Weezing were let go to help them when the Pokémon were freed. However, most poachers shown capture Pokémon to sell them illegally, which fits in with the real life version of poaching. An episode of the series actually showed this a tad lighter by having a poacher reform. The character who most closely follows the traditional "evil poacher" mold, even more than Team Rocket, is probably Pokémon Hunter J from the Diamond and Pearl seasons. She had a device that could turn Pokémon -- and people -- into living statues to sell on the black market, repeatedly tried to kill Ash, and was the first recurring character in the anime to be Killed Off for Real. She's so ruthless and evil that even Team Rocket are afraid of her. One episode of the XY anime has an example that actually ends up Leaning on the Fourth Wall a bit. The episode's villain, Dolan, is a poacher who specializes in smuggling Vivillon and its pre-evolutions, as Vivillon have varying wing patterns that are sought after by collectors. In the games, Vivillon's wing pattern depends on the real-life part of the world its pre-evolutions were found in (i.e. the Modern pattern being located in the central/southeastern United States); naturally, there are plenty of collectors out there willing to do whatever they have to do in order to get all the patterns, much like the collectors Dolan caters to. |

Kai and Jinora run afoul of a group of Sky Bison hunters in Season 3 of The Legend of Korra.note They technically aren't poachers since they're working at the behest of a legitimate head of state, but they fit in every other sense They capture baby bison for transport back to Ba Sing Se, where they're usually used for meat. Fortunately for the kids and the bison, the rest of the new Airbenders and the herd of adult bison come to their rescue. | |

Dragons: Riders of Berk: By the time Race to the Edge begins, Hiccup and company begin encountering dragon hunters who know dragons as well as they do, have equipment capable of neutralizing dragon abilities with ease, and see them as a threat to their business. The rest of the series is a war against the increasing threat level of the hunters, who make it clear that they'd make dragons go extinct just for the gold it would bring them. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a guy who hunted werewolves for their pelts. Werewolves are dangerous monsters indeed, but the fact that they're human most of the time (including if they die, meaning this hunter had to be skinning them alive) gave Buffy motivation to stop him. | |

Damon Kronski from the Artemis Fowl series leads a faction called the Extinctionists, which aims to hunt as many endangered species as possible to extinction. They claim that their reason for doing this is to make humans re-channel the resources they spend on preserving endangered animals into improving the lot of their own species, but Artemis considers them a collective of bored, rich snobs who consider killing to be just another form of entertainment they can buy. | |

Beast (2022): The secondary antagonists in the film are a group of poachers, in the opening they are shown to be the ones responsible for slaughtering the Rogue lion’s pride which is what drove the animal into a rampage in the first place that resulted in the slaughter of an entire village. They show up later in the film and were prepared to immediately murder Dr. Nate Samuels and his family simply because they recognized their guide Martin as an anti-poacher until they became distracted when the Rogue Lion attacked. | |

Justified had alligator poaching as one of the major occupations of the Crowe family, a Bandit Clan of smugglers and hijackers with branches in both backwoods Kentucky and the Florida Everglades. Eldest brother and family patriarch Daryl Crowe Jr. initially went to jail for alligator poaching and came out a much more dangerous man for it, while his nephew Kendal, the youngest Crowe, notes that gator poaching is the first criminal act that his uncles forced him into. Cousin Dewey, whom we meet before the others, still wears a necklace of alligator teeth that have been in the family for years. | |
