The hunter is usually the one pursuing the prey, be it a literal example of one hunting animals or the villain relentlessly hunting his victim in a sporting example of Hunting the Most Dangerous Game. But in some cases, the hunted gains resolve or the upper hand and turns the tables on his pursuer, turning the hunter into the hunted. Once the victim pulls this off, the hunter's game falls apart, and he will be forced to recognize his victim as an actual threat to him. The turnaround embodied in this trope usually signifies that the hero will soon defeat the villains and put an end to his twisted game. This trope has roots as far back as Greek Mythology, where a quite literal hunter, Actaeon, is transformed into a deer by Artemis after a case of Outdoor Bath Peeping and eventually torn apart by his own dogs. The Hunter of Monsters lives by this trope, since by default monsters are portrayed as predators of human beings, and human beings tend not to like being prey. There's a certain inherent Dramatic Irony to this. Adventure stories and thrillers frequently invert the trope, telling the story from the point of view of the hunted one who becomes the hunter. This is especially the case in stories where the hunter is not a single person, but a conspiracy; here the intended prey has to solve the mystery of who is attacking them and why, and then find out who belongs to the conspiracy and whom they can trust as allies to help bring it down. Sub-trope of Russian Reversal. See also Egomaniac Hunter, Evil Poacher, Hunter of His Own Kind, Hunting the Most Dangerous Game, and Serial-Killer Killer. Not to be confused with The Killer Becomes the Killed. |

Predator and Predator 2 provide a perfect example, as the consummate trophy hunter/Proud Warrior Race Guy alien stalks and kills dozens of dangerous, deadly men, only for one of his would-be victims to Take a Level in Badass and begin to hunt him in exactly the same fashion. | |

In Worm, the Slaughterhouse Nine are a band of superpowered serial killers that travel from city to city, committing mass murder as, essentially, performance art. When they come to Brockton Bay to replace their deceased ninth member with one of the local heroes or villains, they set up a series of challenges wherein the candidates are tested one by one by each member. After the first few rounds, the local supervillains decide that waiting for the Nine to come after them is exactly why the Nine are always able to pick their fights to their best advantage and survive in a world where superheroes don't pull their punches, and instead go on the hunt for the Nine. Three members of the Nine leave the city alive. | |

Tortall and Other Lands includes the short story Huntress. Preppy, rich track kids known as the "Pack" have a habit of running together through Central Park on full moons and finding Disposable Vagrants to murder. When a would-be new member refuses, they turn on and hunt her instead, but the Goddess her family worships comes to her aid and decides to hunt the Pack. After she's killed them all, she comments that they made better prey than hunters. | |

In the Tom and Jerry short "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse", near the end, Tom finally drinks his own power potion which Jerry had been using throughout the short. Instead of growing stronger, however, it backfires, and Tom shrinks until he's as tall to Jerry as Jerry normally is to him. The short ends with Jerry chasing after Tom with a fly swatter. | |

In Metroid Fusion, famed bounty hunter and general badass Samus Aran spends much of the game being hunted down by the SA-X, which has all of her old power-ups and abilities. In particular, the Ice Beam is especially deadly to her because of her infusion with Metroid DNA. Up to the very end, Samus has no choice but to run from any encounter with it. | |

Looney Tunes: At the end of the short "Rabbit Fire", as Bugs and Daffy continue to pull away posters saying "Rabbit Season" and "Duck Season" alternately, each trying to convince Elmer to shoot the other, they finally reach the final poster, which reads "Elmer Season". In the next shot, we see Bugs and Daffy dressed as hunters, carrying rifles and "Hunting for Elmers". Also, there's a short in which Pepe Le Pew gets painted all black and his perennial harassment victim Penelope Pussycat gets a head cold that blocks her sense of smell. Sure enough, she turns the tables and starts pursuing the suddenly terrified "big strong tomcat" Pepe. In "Hyde and Go Tweet", Tweety is turned into a giant, hideous monster after hiding in Dr. Jekyll's potion, and he proceeds to chase and terrify Sylvester. |

In The Outer Limits (1995) episode "The Hunt", the plot involves an illegal android hunt. The androids are prevented by inhibitor chips from harming humans. That is until they find plans for their bodies in a shack and proceed to remove their inhibitors. They kill several hunters but are ultimately gunned down, except for one who manages to escape. | |

The entire premise of Dying Light is built upon this trope. The gameplay is divided into two sections depending on the time of the day. During daytime, you face weak shambling herds of zombies. They're slow, cumbersome, clumsy, and not very bright. Easy to lose, easy to bait into traps, easy to dispatch. As such, your character is an absolute badass at hunting the zombies like it's nothing..... until nighttime arrives. At night, the roles reverse, with your character becoming the prey. Since at night, a special breed of super-zombie shows up, its only weakness is UV Light (which explains their absence in the day), these ones have insanely good sight, hearing, speed, strength, and intelligence. Fighting just one of them is completely brutal, but whenever they see you, they'll call a swarm of extra ones on you, and in raw speed, they're faster than you, only via liberal usage of parkour can you stand a chance to put some distance between them. At night, the only option is to hide or to run, fighting will only get you killed. All the time. Not for nothing, the official tagline of the game is "Hunter by day, Prey by night". | |

Memento plays this for dark comedy in one scene where the protagonist Leonard, who has short-term memory loss, finds himself running in parallel with a man who is obviously angry at him. His internal monologue deduces that he must be in the middle of chasing after this guy. Suddenly the man starts charging right for him, and Leonard realizes that the man is chasing him. | |

Except unlike the Entity's normal fare, the heroes of Heathmoor are hardened warriors and still have their weapons, meaning that, while it isn't easy, they can fight against and even defeat the Trapper in straight combat, if only for a moment, at any rate. | |

Skyrim: Any time a dragon crosses the Dragonborn, who was imbued with the soul of a dragon specifically to serve as a natural predator to dragons. Dragons, naturally, see the Dragonborn as a Humanoid Abomination. Hircine returns again to give a quest of this sort, where the player must hunt a Sympathetic Murderer werewolf, who stole a ring from the Daedric Prince and was cursed with random blood rages, and is now trying to isolate himself to avoid any urges to hunt innocent people. The player can continue hunting and eventually kill the werewolf, pleasing Hircine by fulfilling his orders, or you can join forces with the werewolf and turn the tables on a group of werewolf hunters, also pleasing Hircine by invoking this trope. |

In Darkest Dungeon, this is invoked when you fight the Collector, a nightmarish eldritch thing made up of a pile of severed heads wearing a yellow cloak. It has a chance to appear when your inventory is filled up past a certain point (when the party is battered and stressed from a long dungeon run) and apparently collects the heads of your slain party members to add to itself. However, you can in turn hunt the Collector for valuable gems and trinkets, and the Ancestor will invoke this trope if you kill it. | |

Most of the playable licensed characters in Dead by Daylight on the Survivor side are the protagonists of their respective franchises, making them lean towards the "good" side of the good vs. evil debate. However, they've started introducing antagonists as Legendary skins, first with Maria from Silent Hill 2, and then with Mr. Scratch from Alan Wake. Hilariously, both of these examples are of the Evil Doppelgänger variety (for James' wife Mary and Alan himself, respectively). | |

ThunderCats (1985): In "Safari Joe", the antagonist Safari Joe is an intergalactic hunter of big game who spent the episode hunting down the Thundercats one by one, imprisoning all but Lion-O and Snarf. Lion-O then leads Joe into Cat's Lair where he has the advantage. After being lost in the area for some time, Joe shouts out that "he was supposed to be hunting him, not the other way around". Eventually, Lion-O corners and takes down Safari Joe, Snarf commenting that despite Joe's big ego, he was nothing but a coward. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Obsession". Kirk has the Enterprise pursue the vampire cloud creature. Eventually, the creature gets fed up with this: it turns and attacks the Enterprise. Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Masks" has a ritual in which the Moon God (Korgano) chases the Sun God (Masaka) out of the sky, and then the roles are reversed, forever. Star Trek: Voyager once has the crew give hologram technology to aliens called the Hirogen, so they can practice their hunting skills without killing people. The Hirogen make the holograms both sentient and capable of learning, so they can adapt and become better prey to hunt. As you've probably deduced, the holograms got sick of this, Turned Against Their Masters and eventually lured several Hirogen to a toxic planet to give them a taste of their own medicine. They also kidnap Voyager's holographic doctor, who is initially sympathetic but changes his mind quite rapidly when it becomes obvious that a Full-Circle Revolution is going down, and the ringleader has started murdering innocent bystanders to boot. |

In The Millennium Trilogy this trope applies to... well, anybody who tries to victimize Lisbeth Salander. The earliest example is advocate Nils Bjurman, her legal guardian, who is under impression that Lisbeth is an intellectually disabled, helpless young woman whom he can assault whenever he can. Unfortunately for him, after he rapes her, she returns to his apartment with a taser, chains him to his bed, rapes him back, reveals she has a tape showing his rape on her, gives him a tattoo saying that he is a rapist and a scumbag, and proceeds to use blackmail to keep him in check until the end of his sorry life. Bjurman actually has an Oh, Crap! moment, but it's too late. | |

Unfortunately he does so by giving a speech to the alien hunting him boldly stating this intention, who takes the opportunity to spear him through the shoulder and lampshades that the hunted becoming the hunter always happens, but you can't stand around talking about it. Luckily for Boimler the hunt is "catch and release." | |

The Elder Scrolls: Throughout the series, Hircine, the Daedric Prince of the Hunt, has this as part of his modus operandi. Though Hunting the Most Dangerous Game as an Egomaniac Hunter is what his "sphere" is all about, he does not consider it a true hunt unless the prey has a sporting chance to do this. This is best exemplified in Morrowind's Bloodmoon expansion, where he serves as the Big Bad and Final Boss of the end game "hunt." After surviving his hunting dogs (read: werewolves) and your fellow competitors in the hunt, you'll face Hircine himself. Because a Daedric Prince at full power would easily crush any mortal, he gives you the choice of one of his three weaker "aspects" to fight to give you a sporting chance. If he defeats you, he wins. If you defeat him, he still wins, because what greater expression of this trope (which is a big part of his sphere as a Daedric Prince) is there than that? Hircine's servants, the Werebeasts, especially his Werewolves, embody the idea of this trope. At night, they are dangerous monsters and hunt mortals while they have the advantage. During the day, however, they revert to their own weaker mortal forms and must flee from the mortals they were just preying on. Skyrim: Any time a dragon crosses the Dragonborn, who was imbued with the soul of a dragon specifically to serve as a natural predator to dragons. Dragons, naturally, see the Dragonborn as a Humanoid Abomination. Hircine returns again to give a quest of this sort, where the player must hunt a Sympathetic Murderer werewolf, who stole a ring from the Daedric Prince and was cursed with random blood rages, and is now trying to isolate himself to avoid any urges to hunt innocent people. The player can continue hunting and eventually kill the werewolf, pleasing Hircine by fulfilling his orders, or you can join forces with the werewolf and turn the tables on a group of werewolf hunters, also pleasing Hircine by invoking this trope. |

Pokémon: The Fairy-type is made to counter Dragon-type Pokemons, by dealing super effective damage against them while being immune to their attacks. However, Dragons with Fairy-resisting types, like Fire, Poison, and Steel, take neutral damage from Fairy-type moves, and excluding Fire, melt most of them. Even when they're not paired with those types, Dragons can still counter Fairies by relying on their solid Hitpoints, Physical and Special Attack, and especially Speed, since most Fairies are slower than Dragons. It helps that Dragons have diverse movepools, some of which can learn Poison-type and/or Steel-type attacks. | |

"The Most Dangerous Game": A big-game hunter falls off a yacht and finds refuge on an island that is home to a Russian aristocrat. This aristocrat is also a highly skilled big-game hunter. So highly skilled that he's hunted just about every animal and quickly became bored with simply hunting them all over again. So he forces the people who get shipwrecked on his island into a "game" in which he hunts them. Knowing the protagonist is a big-game hunter himself, the aristocrat is quite excited at the prospect of hunting an expert hunter. This gets flipped again at the end when the protagonist seems to escape the island, but this turns out to be a trick, and he actually snuck into the aristocrat's home to ambush him. | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: Invoked by the Starter Villain in volume 1. Having learned of Richard Andrews's plan to settle his Stock Shonen Rivalry with Oliver Horn by challenging him and Nanao Hibiya to a canned hunt of kobolds (their feud having gotten tangled up with a parallel conflict around Katie Aalto's activism on behalf of nonhuman races), the villain smuggles a much more dangerous garuda into the arena. To drive the point home, they covertly project the message "See how it feels to be the prey" onto the ceiling when the garuda makes its presence known. | |

Metroid Dread is built off of this, with the seven EMMI machines that are far more powerful than Samus and will relentlessly hunt her down whenever they're nearby. The only way Samus can defeat them is by absorbing special energy from a specific machine (usually quite hard to get to, and she'll be chased the entire time), which temporarily upgrades her Arm Cannon to be powerful enough to break their armor. | |

Evolve: The monster has three Evolutionary Levels, the first weaker than the hunters, the second on equal terms, and the last stronger. The monster hence needs to run away during the first stage to eat wildlife and get stronger while the hunters chase it down and try to end it quickly. Once the monster evolves into its third stage, the tables are turned and it can fight the hunters with ease. | |

Omar Little from The Wire is a "stick-up man", an independent criminal who specializes in robbing drug dealers and other criminals, which he sometimes does by himself, and sometimes as the head of a small but efficient crew of thieves. Omar has been doing this long enough that he has a reputation which scares most criminal organizations out of even attempting to come after him for his robberies in fear of this happening. The few times that criminals and organizations do attempt to resist or go after Omar, they soon come to regret this. Omar and Detective McNulty discuss the trope in the show's first season. | |

Birdman (1967) episode "Hannibal the Hunter". The title villain lures Birdman to his island and traps him, then tries to have him fed to some lions. Birdman escapes and destroys Hannibal's base, freeing the captive wild animals held in it. While fleeing the animals Hannibal is captured by one of his own traps. Luckily this is a children's show, so Birdman captures Hannibal and saves him from the same fate he was trying to inflict. | |

When their beast selves overtake their robot intellects, Megatron and his crew are all too eager to hunt the animalistic heroes down. Fortunately, Tigatron is able to show the others how to integrate their beast and robot sides. Armed now with both robot intellect and animal instincts, the Maximals quickly turn the tide on the Predacons. | |

In the XCOM 2: War of the Chosen expansion, the titular Chosen are alien super-soldiers tasked with hunting down and capturing XCOM's Commander. They possess Resurrective Immortality and will steadily accumulate intelligence about XCOM's activities, until they finally pinpoint the Avenger's location and launch an all-out assault on it. The only way to end their threat is to build rapport with Resistance groups also opposing those Chosen, locate their headquarters, and invade the Chosens' sanctums to kill them permanently. For bonus points, one of said Chosen is nicknamed The Hunter, and treats engagements with XCOM soldiers as Hunting the Most Dangerous Game. | |

Pac-Man In most of the games in the series, Pac-Man must avoid ghosts that chase after him, typically in groups of four, but sometimes more. However, Pac-Man can eat Power Pellets that allow him to turn the tides and eat the ghosts instead, temporarily removing them from the maze. Pac-Man Vs. allows players to experience the classic Pac-Man dynamic from both sides. While playing as Pac-Man is the same as ever, the players controlling the ghosts have to chase after Pac-Man until he eats a Power Pellet, at which point they all have to run for their lives. |

Spear and Fang nearly end up as its victims, but unwittingly drive it off when Spear strikes fire while flailing around in a panic. Realizing that they've found its weakness, the two of them herd the Night Feeder into a ring of trees which they set on fire, at which point Spear kills it by hurling a flaming javelin into its chest. | |

Baldur's Gate starts with the Big Bad ambushing you (failing), apparently because he already knew you and was specifically looking at you for a murder, and then sending bounty hunters after you while you build up your character. The game ends with you chasing him in his underground base after you exposed him and prevented his evil plans. Similarly, Baldur's Gate II starts with you already in the prison of the Big Bad, who managed to capture you before the game started, and after you escape you spend the rest of the game pursuing him even into the underworld. In Spellhold, Bodhi wants to play "cat and mouse" with you, because she finds it more entertaining to hunt you down in the maze rather than simply killing you on the moment. After you escape and manage to return to Athkatla, your first main task is to catch her in her lair in order to retrieve a powerful artifact she stole. If your character class is a bounty hunter or a stalker, the trope is also directly enacted when she tells you of her plan. |

In the titular game, an update made it so that a player that kills a Player Killer, aside from getting a bounty for killing them, the player will also have access to take whatever they want from the PK's inventory and storage, making hunting Player Killers down a very lucrative business, and generating a new class of players who dedicate their time to hunting down those who otherwise would hunt other players. | |

Star Trek: Voyager once has the crew give hologram technology to aliens called the Hirogen, so they can practice their hunting skills without killing people. The Hirogen make the holograms both sentient and capable of learning, so they can adapt and become better prey to hunt. As you've probably deduced, the holograms got sick of this, Turned Against Their Masters and eventually lured several Hirogen to a toxic planet to give them a taste of their own medicine. They also kidnap Voyager's holographic doctor, who is initially sympathetic but changes his mind quite rapidly when it becomes obvious that a Full-Circle Revolution is going down, and the ringleader has started murdering innocent bystanders to boot. | |

Metroid: In Metroid Fusion, famed bounty hunter and general badass Samus Aran spends much of the game being hunted down by the SA-X, which has all of her old power-ups and abilities. In particular, the Ice Beam is especially deadly to her because of her infusion with Metroid DNA. Up to the very end, Samus has no choice but to run from any encounter with it. Metroid Dread is built off of this, with the seven EMMI machines that are far more powerful than Samus and will relentlessly hunt her down whenever they're nearby. The only way Samus can defeat them is by absorbing special energy from a specific machine (usually quite hard to get to, and she'll be chased the entire time), which temporarily upgrades her Arm Cannon to be powerful enough to break their armor. |

Occurs in various Assassin's Creed games, such as Black Flag and Odyssey, which have their own specialized enemies who track you down if you cause any trouble. In Black Flag it's Pirate Hunter vessels who often carry lots of metal resources, as well as make great fleet recruits. In Odyssey it's Mercenaries who are often carrying gear that is either better than yours or if not can be broken down for resources or sold for a nice profit. Net result is that if you're going about your business and get wind of one of these nearby, you'll often seek them out intentionally. | |

Harry and the Shipgirls has Fenrir Greyback attempting to hunt and turn the relatives of shipgirls as a means of proving himself dominant over these new magical creatures. Then a sting operation was set up to lure him into attempting to hunt young Hanna Hipper, the natural-born and only mostly awoken KMS Lutzow, while some airshipgirls were on standby to provide support. Needless to say, Greyback got a brief taste of what it's like on the other end before he met his demise. | |

Happens to the titular robots in Transformers more often than they probably like: The Transformers: In "Prime Target", an aristocrat named Lord Chumley steals an experimental jet and kidnaps the Autobots in order to lure Optimus to his island in an attempt to hunt him down. Optimus proves more than capable of handling Chumley's traps, even scoffing at a tied-up woman because his sensors could tell it was a hologram being used to bait a trap. Beast Wars: "Call of the Wild" sees the Predacons sabotaging the Maximals' recharger, leaving them only able to rest while in beast mode. When their beast selves overtake their robot intellects, Megatron and his crew are all too eager to hunt the animalistic heroes down. Fortunately, Tigatron is able to show the others how to integrate their beast and robot sides. Armed now with both robot intellect and animal instincts, the Maximals quickly turn the tide on the Predacons. |

Dexter's Laboratory: In the Dial M for Monkey episode "Huntor", the episode's titular villain has hunted down the most fearsome creatures throughout the universe. His favorite prey is superheroes like Monkey and he has weapons that can counter Monkey's powers. Powers or no powers, Monkey still manages to fight back in an homage to Predator, using the resources around him to turn the tables and win. After he escapes, he drops Huntor onto a planet inhabited by giant hillbilly aliens, two of which chase after him with their laser shotguns. | |

The Fugitive: Another example of the inverted trope, with the added complication that most of the hunting is done by the police and FBI, not the people actually responsible for the murder of Mrs. Kimble. However, Dr. Kimble escapes and ultimately manages to turn the tables. | |

Tales From The Cryptkeeper: In "Hunted", a Jerkass hunter is poaching in Africa and runs afoul of a supposedly mythical beast. Determined to catch this beast and make a profit, the hunter pursues it deeper and deeper into the jungle. Just when he thinks he has it, the beast springs its own trap to capture him instead. Turns out, the beast was once a Jerkass hunter himself and had been cursed. Forced to live in the wild, he learned to respect nature and its creatures. He regains his human form and passes the curse onto his captive to start the cycle over again. | |
