This is where you have Group X which is Always Chaotic Evil. Then there's Character Y, who somehow has the powers of Group X but has a conscience, often because he or she is a Phlebotinum Rebel or a Half-Human Hybrid of Warring Natures. So, Character Y becomes a Hunter of Monsters, and Defends Against Their Own Kind, allowing him to use his powers for a good cause. Sometimes, this turns out badly for the Hunter when it is revealed that his targets actually aren't totally evil, and a case of Van Helsing Hate Crimes can result. For some reason, vampires seem particularly prone to doing this. You will see Dhampyrs, Friendly Neighborhood Vampires, and especially Vampire Detectives engaging in it. Maybe it's because they like to turn their enemies out of spite. See also: Boomerang Bigot, Hunting the Rogue, My Species Doth Protest Too Much, Stages of Monster Grief, and Takes One to Kill One. Someone who actually succeeds in killing off their entire people or clan has committed Genocide from the Inside. Predator Turned Protector may lead to them protecting their supposed "prey" from their own kind, who feeds on the same prey. Contrast Monsters Anonymous. Compare Pro-Human Transhuman and Token Heroic Orc. Contrast Hired by the Oppressor, where the hired party don't hate their species, but are paid by an oppressive regime to cleanse them off. |

Family of the Shield: Monti Iwatani is a Wave Monster that was hatched from an egg originally found within the stomach of the Chimera Wave Boss and raised by Naofumi Iwatani and Raphtalia as their son. He values Raphtalias' world as a place worth protecting from the Waves of Catastrophe, using his Cannibalism Superpower to gain new powers by eating the flesh and blood of Wave Monsters and Wave Bosses. When he Class Upgrades, Monti has now become a Wave Boss himself: and he now has the ability to usurp control over a Wave from it's Wave Boss to instantly turn it off: provided that the Wave Boss in-question has both lower Health and Stats compared to Monti. | |

Subverted and downplayed in Adventure Time Stakes: we find out Marceline the Vampire Queen was a vampire hunter, but did most of her work before she became a vampire. In fact, she became a vampire literally seconds before the last other vampire died. The mini-series is then about her hunting those vampires who came Back from the Dead in the present, but they actually came back because she stopped being a vampire. | |

The elf Sebille, in Divinity: Original Sin II, was made to hunt her own kind for a long time via a mind controlling Slave Brand, and she's rather pissed about it. When she learns that all the names on her right arm are elven scionsnote the spiritual leaders of the elven people, well, her anger at her former master goes through the roof. | |

Multiple in Kamen Rider Amazons, There's Haruka Mizusawa (Amazon Omega), a half-human & Amazon hybrid, Jin Takayama (Amazon Alpha), a human injected with the Amazon cells, and Mamoru (Mole Amazon) a child-like Amazon that works with the protagonists. Season 2 has Chihiro (Amazon Neo), seemingly a human but with Amazon characteristics, and Iyu (Crow Amazon), a human girl killed by her Amazon father and brought back as an Amazon. | |

Trish and Lucia, Dante's allies in the first and second games respectively, qualify and even have very similar origins. Both were created in the image of humans by the villains of their respective games to be obedient minions. While Trish pulled a Heel–Face Turn thanks to Dante's kindness, Lucia was discarded by her creator for being a "defect" and was adopted by a clan of demon hunters who themselves have demon blood. | |

In Tokyo Ghoul:re, the protagonists are part of a newly-formed team of artificial One-Eyed Ghouls that CCG has created to hunt Ghouls. They clearly think of themselves as still being human, but wield the same abilities as an ordinary ghoul and are viewed with mistrust by their peers. The mistrust is a bit justified as a one-eyed ghoul gone far enough into ghouldom can't digest human food, so they have to feed off humans and ghouls, but only the squad's mentor actually has that problem. The heads of CCG the Washuu Clan are an old family of Ghouls who hunt other Ghouls. In the original series, Ken Kaneki begins to hunt, kill and eat other ghouls in an effort to get the bottom of what happened to him and become "strong", though not at anyone else's command. Consuming ghoul flesh tastes terrible and causes severe mental deterioration along with the power boost, but formerly-human Kaneki would still rather do that than eat humans. |

X-Men: The X-Men in general fight evil mutants quite often when they aren't fighting anti-mutant racists. X-Factor began as a team that hunted down mutants. The general public didn't know that the team members were mutants themselves and that they were actually trying to help the mutants they "hunt" down. In the future world she came from, Rachel Summers was forcibly brainwashed into becoming a Hound by Ahab after being captured and tortured by the government as a child. Ahab considered her the best of his Hounds thanks to her psionic abilities making her extremely talented at tracking other mutants. It left her both with long-lasting trauma, and tattoos/scars (it's never been entirely clear what they are) that she usually keeps concealed with her telepathy. Would you believe that Sentinels are mutants themselves? Seriously, some people who build them (like Sebastian Shaw) have tried to put a failsafe program into them to use in case they go rogue, which reveals that, since their abilities were "inherited" and improved upon from the original Mach-1 Sentinels, they are technically mutants. In theory, this would act as a Logic Bomb, causing a rogue Sentinel who has this revelation thrust upon it to destroy itself, as its directive is to destroy mutants. However, this idea hasn't had as much success as whoever thought it up had hoped. |

In Bloodborne, the city of Yharnam is patrolled by Hunters who head out every night to cut down monsters created by the Scourge of the Beast. When Hunters are infected, Eileen the Crow and her followers, the Hunters of Hunters, put them down. There's also the Moon Presence, a Great One who created the dream world so it could guide the Hunters to kill other Great Ones. Jury's out on whether that's good or evil though. | |

The French comic Raptors features Drago and Camilla, a Brother–Sister Team duo of vampires who systematically hunt down all other members of their kind. The feud started when the majority of vampires chose to give up most of their powers and bestial instincts so they could walk around in the daylight and rule humanity openly. Drago and Camilla's father was opposed to this and murdered (along with his wife) for his defiance, leading his children to swear revenge after they were safely whisked away. | |

In the Old World of Darkness: Vampire: The Masquerade has the Baali, a bloodline known for their long association with demons and eldritch abominations. One faction of the bloodline worships these entities for power; the other hunts down infernalists, including their own kin, with extreme prejudice, to prevent them from breaking the world. Mage: The Ascension has the Technocracy, one of whose precepts is the destruction of Reality Deviants — most prominent among whom are non-Technocratic mages. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Scar only targets alchemists, despite using alchemy himself. Of course, Scar never identifies himself as an alchemist because his religion considers it a sin, thus he exploits a Loophole Abuse because true alchemy is three stages (Composition, Deconstruction, and Reconstruction), and he only stops at the second, which is still enough to blow a person's body apart. He gradually overcomes this. Greed spends quite some time fighting other homunculi after his Heel–Face Turn. |

The Legend of Drizzt: Drizzt Do'Urden from the Forgotten Realms is another poster boy contender considering how badly he breaks his vow to never kill drow elves. He discards the vow in the third group of books after realizing it's stupid to kill goblins and other evil monsters, but not drow. His father too. More coherent than Drizzt, Zaknafein prefers to kill drows, because they are the most cruel creatures he knows. |

Guilty Gear: The setting is home to a bunch of artificially-engineered Humanoid Abominations called Gears, and the oldest and strongest of all of them is hunting down and killing the rest out of guilt for creating them, hence the title. That would be the main protagonist, the crass bounty hunter Sol Badguy. | |

Detroit: Become Human has Connor, an android, whose job it is to locate deviant androids and capture them for study. Defied and discussed if Connor becomes deviant himself. In fact, Connor is just the prototype for a future line of androids being developed by Cyberlife to operate in tandem with law enforcement. If Connor remains a machine, he is introduced to his replacement before being decomissioned himself. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 A sci-fi twist on this with Setsuna's Gundam Exia: its primary purpose is to hunt down any Gundam should its pilot go rogue, since its GN sword is the only weapon that can penetrate a Gundam's GN field. Though late in the first season, the Earth's military gets their hands on GN Drive technology, meaning Exia has a wealth of targets from then on. In Season 2 we are introduced to The Innovators, a shadowy group of Artificial Humans that have taken control over the Aeolia Plan that Celestial Being was founded upon to reshape the world according to their own designs. And as it turns out, Tieria Erde himself was one of them all along. Many of the other Innovators insist that as one of them; Tieria should not kill his own people. Only for Tieria to throw back at them that he's not an Innovator, but a Human. |

Hamster's Paradise: The founding vertebrate of the planet HP-02017 was the hamster, an animal known for its cannibalistic tendencies, which seem to have carried over to its evolutionary descendants as quite a few have adapted to hunt their close relatives. The arctic blubbear is specialized to prey on other species of penguin-like blubbat as they're the most abundant thing on the barren Glaciocene Peninsulaustra, though they are willing to eat the ratbats and bayvers that occasionally end up on the frozen continent. The phorca, a type of large marine cricetacean, is known to hunt smaller cricetaceans as well. Millions of years later one species, sarchon, becomes specialized to primarily hunt smaller phorcas and even develops keratin armor on its head to protect against their bites. They are willing to other marine animals like seavers and whaleruses however and its likely they started killing other phorcas to remove competition for these food sources before discovering the phorcas themselves made a fairly substantial meal. Some carnivorous ratbats prey on other ratbat species not unlike hawks and falcons hunting smaller birds. Loupgaroos are a carnivorous member of the typically omnivorous podotheres that are specialized to hunt them due to them being the most common prey animals on the isolated continent of Messoterra. The Frazzetas take their species cannibalistic tendences to the extreme and feed almost exclusively on Brutes and the smaller Harmsters. The smooth cannibal is a species of whistlard, a lizard-like hamster that repurposed its cheek pouches into resonating chambers, that is specialized to hunt smaller species of whistlards by imitating their calls, much like Photuris fireflies. A nonhamster example would be the hook-jawed pirant which is a species of floating raftant that specializes in hunting other floating raftants alongside other aquatic insects. They even possess adaptations that allow them to better control their movement on the water's surface so they can chase after them. |

Attack on Titan: The Attack Titan... well... attacks other Titans while ignoring the nearby humans. This is because he's actually Eren, on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after his Titan Shifter powers manifested. Armin successfully invokes this trope, convincing the military that Eren can become their trump card in the battle to reclaim first Wall Rose, and eventually Wall Maria and the rest of Paradis from the Titans. Ymir also becomes this when her unarmed squad is cornered in a castle tower by a horde of Titans. Word of God confirms her decision to reveal herself and fight is because she's in love with Krista. She gets overwhelmed, but luckily the Survey Corps arrives in time to save her. Late in the story, The Survey Corps, including the other Titan Shifters join forces to fight against Eren and the Rumbling, to save the world from his mad plan to destroy all life outside Paradis. |

Blunt in Freefall believes that the presence of intelligent robots who are able to do everything better than humans will result in humans becoming relaxed, happy, and safe...which, in his (possibly brain-damaged) assessment, is a very bad thing. Therefore, he believes the intentional release of a last-ditch safeguard program that, essentially, would lobotomise every robot on the planet is the only solution, and when it is barely prevented he goes full-court press to prove that stopping it was a mistake. He fully intended for himself and his co-worker, Edge, to be the last two intelligent robots left, in order to ensure the process took place, at which point they would reactivate their communicators, receive the neural-pruning patch, and join their fellows. (Edge was not thrilled by this idea and just wanted to be the last robot standing, forever.) | |

Ruby on Supernatural is a demon who fights other demons and helps Sam fight them. Sam is arguably another example of this trope, because his Psychic Powers are caused by having been fed demon blood. Of course, it turns out Ruby is among the worst of the lot and was driving Sam to his destiny to release Lucifer from his prison. Which he did. | |

In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, Yugi's snobby classmate Kujirada had a "hidden character" Virtual Pet (as in, it would live two months, as opposed to normal ones, that lived twenty-one days). Unfortunately for him, it was harder to take care of, and had a malignant intelligence, along with the ability to control Kujirada. The evil virtual pet eventually got tired of normal virtual food, and directed its owner to link it to other kids' devices so it could devour other virtual pets. It met its end when it tried to prey on Yugi's pet, who due to swapping data with Jonouchi's pet, was much tougher than it looked. | |

When she is captured by Max, not only does she do a Heel–Face Turn, she becomes his partner fighting the Zentraedi, but tends to shoot down her opponents with nonlethal shots when possible. In subsequent Macross shows, "cultured" Zentraedi are more than willing to do their part to defend their human allies from their "uncultured" brethren. |

Ahab considered her the best of his Hounds thanks to her psionic abilities making her extremely talented at tracking other mutants.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The Dragonborn is a rare mortal born with the divine Aedric soul of a dragon. Because dragons are ageless and, even if they are slain, can be resurrected by another dragon, it takes another dragon or Dragonborn absorbing their soul to permanently kill them. Akatosh, the draconic God of Time, chief deity of the Imperial pantheon, and "father" of dragons, specifically created the Dragonborn to serve as a "natural predator" to the dragons. In fact, the Dragonborn's very title reflects this: in Dovahzul, the language of the dragons, "Dragonborn" is "Dovahkiin" which, when broken down the way most dragon names are, becomes "Dov Ah Kiin", or "Dragonkind Hunter Born". Naturally, dragons see the Dragonborn as their equivalent to a Humanoid Abomination. The Dragonborn DLC plays it straight as well, with the "Last Dragonborn" being forced into a confrontation with Miraak, the First Dragonborn. If you choose to side with the Dawnguard vampire hunters against Lord Harkon in the Dawnguard DLC, Harkon's daughter Serana will join you and eventually be permitted to take up residence in the Dawnguard's headquarters. She can be convinced to cure herself of vampirism... but only if you say the right things, and only after Dawnguard's main quest. If the Dragonborn is a Vampire or Werewolf, this trope can occasionally come into play. Defied in Dawnguard, as Isran will frequently chastise and refuse to deal with a Vampire Dragonborn until they cure themselves. Ironically, a Dragonborn that sides with the Volkihar vampires can also play this trope straight, since a large number of side quests involve killing lesser vampires, mostly for drawing too much mortal attention to themselves and partly because the Volkihar vampires just plain look down on the thin-bloods. If the Dragonborn is an Altmer, then by the end of the main questline they will be one of these on both sides of the trope, as they will become enemies of the Thalmor, a fascist Altmer regime who will be sending hunters out to kill them, mostly because the Dragonborn themselves have been slaughtering Thalmor left and right during the questline. |

Warcraft: Demon hunters study and use fel magic in order to more effectively hunt demons. Since the magic is innately corrupting, many of them become partially demonic themselves and may or may not retain their original noble intentions. Death Knights, former slaves of the Lich King, use their knowledge of necromancy and Scourge tactics to fight the undead in Northrend. A lot of the more vengeful Forsaken fall into this category as well. Wrathion is a black dragon that, due to the unique circumstances of his birth, is free of the Old God corruption that has taken over the rest of the Black Dragonflight. He's on a crusade to eliminate the tainted black dragons, and the rogue legendary Fangs of the Father questline is centered around helping him do this. By the end of the quest, he claims to be the Last of His Kind, though observant players have noticed there is at least one other black dragon (Sabellian) unaccounted for. And it turns out there was one other uncorrupted black dragon as well long before he came around named Ebyssian, who hid himself as a spiritwalker among the tauren named Spiritwalker Ebonhorn. |

Saints Row: The Third features a cheesy Show Within a Show called Nyteblade, about a vampire hunter who was turned into a vampire himself. The Syndicate uses various Brutes, giantic clones that are strong enough to tackle vehicles out of their way. Later on the game you meet the original one, Oleg, who is used as the base for all the brutes (except he's far more intelligent), who ends up joining you. He expresses great disdain for his clones and whenever he's helping you out, he'll prioritize fighting brutes. |

Night Watch (Series). Both Light and Dark Others persecute their kindred who break the Treaty and threaten to disrupt the Balance between Light and Darkness. Also invoked in that in order to hunt down renegade vampires, Night Watchers need to tune in to the "Call" they use to attract victims.

Eddie Brock's Venom is like this. One of the few reasons he'd willingly ally himself with Spider-Man is to fight Carnage or another Symbiote; he simply hates them. This became a far-more prominent goal when he later becomes Anti-Venom. | |

If he befriends or becomes the lover of The Warden in the original Dragon Age: Origins, Zevran Arainai becomes one of these in Dragon Age II. In the seven years between the end of the first game and the point at which Hawke meets him in the second, he has sown chaos in the ranks of his former employers, the Antivan Crows, managing to assassinate one of the seven Guildmasters while simultaneously forging an alliance with two more as well as several other disaffected assassins. The Grey Wardens technically qualify, as becoming a Warden involves drinking Darkspawn blood and taking the Taint into themselves, turning them into a type of high-functioning ghoul with their humanity intact. This also allows Wardens to permanently kill the Archdemon by forcing its soul to Body Surf into them at the moment of death, destroying them both. A Mage Hawke in Dragon Age II frequently finds themselves hunting down Blood-Mages, berating them for their Well-Intentioned Extremist actions and pointing out that it's only made the situation worse and caused innocent Mages to suffer at the hands of certain Templars who see little difference between Apostates and Maleficarum. Played straight if a Mage Hawke ends up being Templar-Aligned at the end of the game. If still alive, Carver will call them out on this and points out that if Bethany was still alive, Hawke would be turning against her as well. Bethany can be convinced to do this in the Templar Ending by a Warrior or Rogue Hawke, although she's not happy about it and only agrees because innocent people are being killed in the crossfire. In Origins, the guild called The Mages' Collective can be this. While their primary goal is to support mages, Circle or Apostate alike, they maintain a hard distinction between Apostates and Maleficarum, and you can take on missions from them requiring you to kill blood mages or cultist groups. As well as this, they are aware that they sometimes require the templars to turn a blind eye to what they do, and you can accept a mission from them that will allow you to "reward" a templar with lyrium potions. |

Dungeons & Dragons: One of the potential racial backgrounds for the Shardmind in 4th Edition is Shard Slayer, a Shardmind which believes that, since their kind was born from shards of the living gate, then a dead Shardmind's lifeforce returns to it and mends the gaps that allows the influence of the Far Realm to seep through. This mentality is taken to a logical extreme as Shard Slayers hunt down and kill other Shardmind and destroy unawakened shards in the hopes of closing the gate back up. The Ranger class has the Favored Enemy ability, where the character chooses one or more species and gains several benefits fighting that species. In 3.0, only an evil Ranger can choose their own species, however, in which case they qualify for this trope. In 3.5, the evil limitation is removed; note though that "Favored Enemy" involves some non-combat bonuses, so a ranger could simply pick his own species to ease up interaction, or because they're likely the most common enemies (in the case of humans) rather than any desire to hunt them down. In Van Richten's Guide to Witches (an accessory for the Ravenloft campaign), the good doctor claims that he wrote the book with the help of a greenhag who despised other members of her species and was all too willing to aid him in publishing a book that could be used against them. (Why? According to Van Richten, she refused to say.) |

In Drakengard 3, Zero, the first Intoner and spiritual "mother" of the rest has to kill the others because only Intoners are immune to their kind's brainwashing magic. Humans — although they've been horrifically abused by their Intoner conquerers — are psychologically incapable of getting the job done. The Intoners themselves don't know (or don't want to accept) how much of a threat they pose to the world, and often ask Zero mid-battle why she doesn't want to join their nice party. In accordance with this trope, Zero has made arrangements to get herself killed once all her daughters/sisters/brainspawn? are dead. | |

Most of them even got their powers thanks to the same Freak Lab Accident as the protagonist himself. While it first seems as most of the metahumans turn out criminal or evil in some kind, later seasons see other powered individuals join forces with the Flash. | |

Examples from Kamen Rider: Almost all of the Kamen Riders from the Showa Era (1971-1989) of the franchise are this, as they were cyborg mutants created by the villainous organization, but escaped before the brainwashing could be completed or defected afterwards. Because the Monsters Of The Week are also cyborg mutants, the result is this trope. In Kamen Rider 555, Faiz/Takumi is actually the Wolf Orphenoch. In Kamen Rider Kabuto, Tsurugi/Sasword is actually the Scorpio Worm. Scorpio Worm then killed the real Tsurugi and take his identity as a result. Unfortunately for Scorpio Worm, Tsurugi's will successfully fights back against Scorpio, and Scorpio proceeds to completely forgot his Worm persona as a result. In Kamen Rider Kiva, Wataru is part Fangire, making him sort of a Dhampyr. In Kamen Rider OOO, Eiji does not start this way, but he slowly becomes a Greeed near the climax of the series. In Kamen Rider Wizard, It's double-subverted with the Dragon Phantom. Haruto (Kamen Rider Wizard) summons it to fight against unreleased phantoms, but still need to control it in order to do so. Afterwards, though, the phantom decided to lend Haruto its own power. Multiple in Kamen Rider Amazons, There's Haruka Mizusawa (Amazon Omega), a half-human & Amazon hybrid, Jin Takayama (Amazon Alpha), a human injected with the Amazon cells, and Mamoru (Mole Amazon) a child-like Amazon that works with the protagonists. Season 2 has Chihiro (Amazon Neo), seemingly a human but with Amazon characteristics, and Iyu (Crow Amazon), a human girl killed by her Amazon father and brought back as an Amazon. |

Abel is the only one of the three who actually makes it a point to hunt vampires. His sister isn't shown to hunt anyone (in fact, she's the empress of the vampires), and Cain doesn't care who he hunts/hurts. | |

Ultimate Spider-Man: Morbius is a true vampire and Vlad the Impaler's brother. He stakes other vampires but not before apologizing to them for being unable to save them. Rather than turning people into vampires, his bite prevents humans from fully turning after they have already been bitten. | |

Devil May Cry: Full-blooded demon Sparda in backstory turned against his fellow demons and sealed them in their own world. His son Dante, a half-demon himself, carries on by hunting demons who sneak into our world. Nero counts as well, since he is Vergil's son — Dante's nephew — and thus making him a quarter-demon. Trish and Lucia, Dante's allies in the first and second games respectively, qualify and even have very similar origins. Both were created in the image of humans by the villains of their respective games to be obedient minions. While Trish pulled a Heel–Face Turn thanks to Dante's kindness, Lucia was discarded by her creator for being a "defect" and was adopted by a clan of demon hunters who themselves have demon blood. |

A non-species example: the Seven Warlords of the Sea in One Piece are government-sponsored pirates who are given amnesty (and often have a blind eye turned to their other shady dealings) in exchange for bringing down other pirates. This provides mixed results, however, since for all their power and their alleged loyalty to the World Government they are still pirates at heart, and more often than not end up only looking out for themselves, with two prominent examples abusing their station and privileges to secretly build criminal organisations for the purpose of taking over countries; Crocodile is stopped in his own attempt by the Straw Hat Pirates, while Doflamingo succeeded ten years ago via Engineered Heroics. The rest of them are barely any better, only following orders to the strictest interpretation of the letter and frequently twisting them to do whatever they want (if they even follow them at all). Eventually the kings and queens of the world nations decide that the Seven Warlords are more trouble than they're worth, and abolish the Warlord System when Vegapunk develops a new weapon with the power to replace them. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Galadriel, also known In-Universe as the "Scourge of the Orcs", dedicated centuries of her life to find Sauron and kill Orcs. When she finally captures their chieftain, she holds a speech about how his kind has no right to exist and starts to describe how she will keep him alive solely to witness her massacring his entire kind. What makes her speech even more bone-chilling is that the Orcs, are her kin too and she knows it and doesn't care. The Orcs she brags about massacring to their leader were formerly Elves captured by Morgoth and turned into Orcs. | |

The One Who Eats Monsters: Ryn claims that she is nothing more or less than a monster, and the only difference between her and the monsters she hunts is that she is stronger. It soon becomes clear that this isn't quite true; Ryn is the only member of her species, has no taste for innocent flesh, and the only reason she isn't considered a goddess is because the other gods found her too disruptive to civilization and banished her. | |

Dark from D.N.Angel was described as such by Argentine. Weirdly, he's technically an artwork that steals other non-living evil artwork. Krad counts as well; his mission in life is to kill Dark. Krad's not only another living artwork, but the same exact one as Dark, making him not only a hunter of his own kind, but a hunter of himself, which is probably as far as you can take this trope. | |

Generator Rex, Rex being an EVO, is employed to fight EVOs. This trope is actually played with because everyone on Earth, except White Knight, is infected with nanites, the things that cause people to turn into EVOs. That means everyone at Providence is hunting down their own kind and anyone of them could randomly turn into one at anytime without warning. | |

Raziel in Legacy of Kain is a three-fold example. A former Sarafan vampire-hunter, resurrected as a vampire, he was betrayed by Kain, the vampire who sired him, and executed, then reborn as an ethereal wraith and accepted an offer from the Elder God to become an Angel of Death. His purpose is to hunt down and destroy the vampires who were once his brothers, but he also hunts and kills other ethereal beings, as well as members of the Sarafan Order, at times. | |

Spider-Man: Eddie Brock's Venom is like this. One of the few reasons he'd willingly ally himself with Spider-Man is to fight Carnage or another Symbiote; he simply hates them. This became a far-more prominent goal when he later becomes Anti-Venom. In fact, this seems to be a trait of Symbiotes in general. The one time Venom and Carnage were ever willing to cooperate with each other was to fight a more powerful Symbiote that had been spawned from Carnage's Symbiote. |

In the Batman Vampire trilogy, this trope applies to Batman in Bloodstorm, the second book in the trilogy, which sees him hunting down and killing the surviving members of Dracula's 'family' after the death of their leader; Red Rain — the first book in the trilogy — saw Batman allied with renegade vampire Tanya and her followers, but Tanya's group sacrificed themselves to destroy most of Dracula's brood when Batman destroyed Wayne Manor. | |

According to one version of Blade Runner, the main character who hunts rogue androids is an android himself. If true, this is a rather dark spin on the trope. Basically, androids are detected by being tested for moral feelings and reveal themselves to be amoral. As the androids turn out to be "tin men", this would mean that he is actually worse than his targets. The amorality is explained as resulting from lacking real childhoods and formative years of experience. There is at least one android in the film (two if you count the main character) who has/have memory implants of growing up with a family and loved ones (even if those loved ones died or left). They both show that they have a sense of right and wrong and the definite android is only exposed after hundreds of times more testing than any previous android. The protagonist "K" aka KD6-3.7 from Blade Runner 2049 is an explicit example, a Nexus-9 generation Replicant who hunts down rogue members of previous generations. Replicants in general were legalized again for use on Earth in 2036 after their manufacturer could prove the dependence and more reliable servitude of the post-Tyrell Corp models. However, K notably rejects this characterization early on when it's thrown at him by a replicant he's hunting, claiming that "his kind" doesn't run like the older models. |

Subverted in League of Legends. Miss Fortune is a pirate hunter because her mother was killed by pirates, but her attire is completely pirate-like. A Pirate Girl? Nope, she's just dressing up like one, she's a full time pirate hunter. Played straight with Vi, however. She was once a normal criminal, but then found a set of Power Fist in a mine. Afterwards, she redirects her passion into hunting down other criminals by punching them in the face, before becoming an official police in Piltover. |

Mega Man X: The biggest reveal is that Zero is the original Viral Maverick (meaning that The Virus originally came from him). Not only is this fitting for the trope, it also makes him the hunter of the race he unwittingly created. X himself qualifies, since all Reploids (Repliroids, based on X's designs) and, by extension, Mavericks/Irregulars stem from him. |

The Legend of Korra brings us a rather prominent member of the anti-bending supremacist faction, the Equalists, who is himself a waterbender. Specifically, it's the leader of the movement, Amon, who has dedicated his life to ridding the world of bending. And his waterbending is the evil bloodbending variety. | |

Tsukihime: Arcueid took this trope to its logical conclusion, making herself the Last of Her Kind. She was born and bred by the other True Vampires to hunt down and kill any of them who went insane from bloodlust. Eventually, all the True Vampires went insane from bloodlust, leading her to wipe her own people out. Then she set her sights on the Dead Apostles, lesser vampires closer to what people usually think of when hearing "vampire"... Also in Tsukihime, the head of the Tohno family has the obligation to find and kill any family members who succumb to their demonic blood. Background material also refers to a vampire by the name of "Enhance", who has sided with the Church and works to annihilate his own kind. Apparently he is a relatively "young" vampire and rejects his monstrous nature, holding onto as much of his humanity as possible. |

UQ Holder!: Kuromaru is a demihuman of some kind trained in demon-hunting (by the same school that trained Setsuna, no less). The eponymous organization itself, made up primarily of immortals and intending to provide supernatural denizens (immortals in particular) with a home, will occasionally have to go hunt down an immortal causing problems in society. Either they recruit these errant immortals into the organization... or they neutralize them. |

In Empire of the Vampire, the palebloods are Dhampyr children born of vampiric fathers and human mothers, and inherit many traits from their monstrous progenitors. Believing their birth to be a heavy sin against nature and God, the Silversaints of the Ordo Argent recruit and train these children to dedicate their lives to the destruction of His enemies, be they vampire, demon, fae or any other monster of the dark, so that they may redeem their own cursed souls. Vampires are their most common quarry, and indeed much of a Silversaint's training focuses specifically on combating their undead relatives. | |

A Mage Hawke in Dragon Age II frequently finds themselves hunting down Blood-Mages, berating them for their Well-Intentioned Extremist actions and pointing out that it's only made the situation worse and caused innocent Mages to suffer at the hands of certain Templars who see little difference between Apostates and Maleficarum. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The title character of Angel is a vampire who hunts other vampires. When Angel first meets Buffy he tells her that what he wants is to kill them, to kill them all. It turns out that he wants to kill them to make up for his own monstrous actions. Spike also fits this description, although he initially inverts some parts of the trope since he starts out fighting vampires and demons not because he wants to be good, but because he can no longer attack humans and REALLY misses violence. Angel's son Connor takes this and runs with it. Not only did his adoptive father teach him to fight vampires and demons, he groomed him to fight his biological father. The Groosalugg also has its share in the fight against demons. In his homeland, his society was appalled and disgusted that he looked almost like a human (he is a demon with human ancestors), and sent him on missions to kill him. But he proved to be a good warrior who won every fight. The Slayer herself could be considered an example, considering the Slayer's mystical powers originate from the heart, soul and spirit of a pure-demon, while she fight against demons and vampires (a subtype of demons in the show) |

Elsewhere in Mage: The Awakening, the Tremere first became known in the eighth century CE as hunters of Reapers, mages who thrived on the theft of souls. By the beginning of the twelfth century, they were revealed to themselves be Reapers, who had directed their hunger for souls towards other soul-thieves — after all, those were the most likely Awakened to have a supply in reserve. Even in the present, they're known for their hostility towards other Reapers — mostly because they don't want the competition. | |

Averted in Saiyuki. On a few occasions Sanzo's three sidekicks get accused by the random demons they fight of being an example of this trope, as they're following a human who has a reputation of being a demon-slayer. However, the only reason the group ends up fighting those demons is because said demons have little idea of the trio's backgroundsnote Hakkai was originally human, Gojyo is a half-breed whose demon stepmother hated him, and Goku is more of a godlike being than a demon and are stupid enough to get in their way in the first place. | |

In Void City, Evelyn is a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire who works for an organization of vampire hunters, subsisting solely on animal blood and destroying her monstrous kin to protect innocent humans. Greta is also a vampire who regularly hunts and destroys other vampires; but in her case, it's because she just really likes killing things and enjoys the challenge offered by semi-immortal prey which requires extremely elaborate measures to destroy. | |

A few examples from the New World of Darkness: Vampire: The Requiem has VII, a mysterious group of Kindred who, for some unknowable reason, kill other vampires. Their minds can't be read and they can't be interrogated. Most vampires regard them as an urban legend; however, they do have a book that offers three possible backstories. Mage: The Awakening has Banishers, mages whose Awakenings went horribly, horribly wrong. As a result, they view magic as something filthy and wrong with the world (they can't use it without feeling innate revulsion) and spend most of their time hunting down other Awakened and killing them to try and "heal" the world in their own way. Elsewhere in Mage: The Awakening, the Tremere first became known in the eighth century CE as hunters of Reapers, mages who thrived on the theft of souls. By the beginning of the twelfth century, they were revealed to themselves be Reapers, who had directed their hunger for souls towards other soul-thieves — after all, those were the most likely Awakened to have a supply in reserve. Even in the present, they're known for their hostility towards other Reapers — mostly because they don't want the competition. Hunter: The Vigil has the Lucifuge, a conspiracy made up of those who believe they carry the blood of Hell in their veins. They spend their days fighting against demons, their brethren who went over to the side of the Devil, and things darker still. Second edition Werewolf: The Forsaken has the Blood Talons, whose favored prey in the sacred hunt is other werewolves, those who've gone to the bad one way or the other. |

Hellsing: Alucard is an interesting case; he's frequently as bad or worse than the vampires he's hunting (maybe...) and takes far too much glee in killing them, often getting 'creative' in his methods. Really, he only hunts vampires because he's bound to follow orders from the head of the Helsing family, and they're in the vampire hunting business. Alucard's servant, Seras Victoria, was a police officer before joining the Hellsing organization so little has changed for her. It's just that now the criminals she hunts are a lot more dangerous. |

The protagonist "K" aka KD6-3.7 from Blade Runner 2049 is an explicit example, a Nexus-9 generation Replicant who hunts down rogue members of previous generations. Replicants in general were legalized again for use on Earth in 2036 after their manufacturer could prove the dependence and more reliable servitude of the post-Tyrell Corp models. However, K notably rejects this characterization early on when it's thrown at him by a replicant he's hunting, claiming that "his kind" doesn't run like the older models. | |
