Someone who hunts vampires. May be a Hunter of His Own Kind (vampire hunting seems to be a common profession for Dhampyr and the Friendly Neighborhood Vampire who feels compelled to protect humans from his less charitable kin). If not all vampires are evil, he may end up hunting every last one down anyway, due to a misplaced sense of justice or the loss of a loved one to a vampire attack. And often sublimated self-loathing. Sometimes his single-minded zeal for the hunt ends up making him just as bad as or even worse than the fiends he hunts. Expect to see vampires' traditional weaknesses — wooden stakes, Holy Water, garlic, crosses or other religious symbols, etc. — well-represented in this guy's armory. Also expect to see a strange compulsion to go hunting after dark despite the obvious advantages of daylight. See Hunter of Monsters for a hunter whose chosen quarry extends to other supernatural creatures beyond the blood-sucking variety. The vampire hunter may overlap with the former trope, however, if he is called upon to slay things besides vampires. Examples |

Doctor Von Goosewing from Count Duckula comes from a long line of vampire hunters, though he is much more clumsy and scatterbrained than they were. He is frequently trying to kill the title character, despite the fact that this incarnation of Duckula is a vegetarian who doesn't even want to be a vampire in the first place. | |

Hunter: The Vigil features hunters that will likely target vampires at some point. However, more true to the spirit of the trope are the Cainite Heresy, the remnants of an ancient Roman cult headed by a vampire who is very pissed off at being tricked. They've found a way to use a derivative of vampiric blood magic, favor terrorist tactics, and have adopted "Who is Cain?" as their motto. | |

Sluggy Freelance: Riff does it on the side, after having had to save his friends from vampires in "Vampires". He has a super-fast stake launcher that fires all its stakes instantly and takes days to reload. After having been transferred to Alaska, he finds a new job making and selling vampire hunter equipment, as there turn out to be a lot of vampires in Alaska. One of Riff's customers is Kent's uncle Arminius Vambrey, a real full-time vampire hunter, who's good at what he does (no vampire except Philinnon has survived a confrontation with him) but so paranoid about vampires that he has trouble doing anything else. There's also Muffin the Vampire Baker, who thinks vampires need to be killed by baking them in an oven due to a mistranslation in some old texts. As seen here, Vampire Queen Philinnon also employs vampire hunters, chief among whom is Master Urja. Since Vrykolakas vampires like her can be killed instantly by poking a stake through their heart, she wears armour just and only next to her heart. Note that this is not Hunter Of Her Own Kind because she works for another evil vampire and just hunts rival vampires. Who else Philinnon has wanted hunted before Sam, who earned her permanent enmity within ten seconds of first opening his mouth, is unknown as of that comic. |

Himegami of A Certain Magical Index (also known as Deep Blood) smells delicious to vampires, but her blood kills them when they try to feed. In a standard subversion, she hates the killing, and wants to never use her power in that way again. In a not so standard subversion, no one is quite sure if the people she is attracting and killing are actually vampires. It's never confirmed one way or another. | |

Night World: Rashel was a little kid. Then a vampire killed her mother and brother. Then he tried to come back for her and killed her vampire. While we are dealing with a world where not all vampires are evil, the fact that she tracks them by the trail of corpses means she only finds the bad ones anyway. Rashel is scary good at what she does until she loses her zanshin. Then she's just very, very good. | |

Monsignor Javier Mendoza in Blood Ties (2007) is a villainous variant. He was a Grand Inquisitor during the Spanish Inquisition, who captured vampires using any means possible, tortured them until they confessed, and then brutally executed them. Oh yeah, he also used their blood in a potion that stopped his aging process, allowing him to continue the hunt. He doesn't shy away from murdering innocents to get to his prey. In "Heart of Ice", he murders a prostitute and drains her of blood, so that Henry's friends would give him up. Interestingly, the only anti-vampire weapon they show him having is a sun-shaped Chinese-made object that weakens a vampire to the point of a human being stronger. The object has to be physically attached to the vampire's chest to work, requiring trickery, given the vampires' speed. | |

Oblivion: One quest has a group of vampire hunters show up in Skingrad, where the undercover vampire Count Hassildor asks the player character to get rid of them one way or another. Given that they do all their patrolling during the day and overlook the vampire den just down the road from the city gate, "hunter" is perhaps generous. The Order of the Virtuous Blood are a group of nominal vampire hunters who sheepishly admit that they don't actually have the talent or resources to hunt vampires, per se. Given that their leader is a vampire Mole in Charge who frames innocents for his murders, that's probably for the best. |

Forever Knight The episode "Bad Blood" had a dhampyr-type hunter. He wasn't a vampire's child, but had dhampyr-type enhanced abilities due to not being completely drained by LaCroix years before. Naturally he has trouble believing that Nick is now a Friendly Neighbourhood Vampire. In "Hunted", in which the Villain of the Week is Hunting the Most Dangerous Game, the flashback scenes have Nick, LaCroix and Janette hunting—and being hunted by—a human vampire hunter. Similarly in "Hunters", the flashbacks have them trapped in a house in daylight while besieged by a posse of hunters. |

They learned that vampires are vulnerable to electrocution as well as silver, rowanwood stakes, and garlic, informing the game's Electro-punk aesthetic.

Duke and co. later wipe out the rest of the vampire hunters in their bunker with hand grenades, which vampires aren't expected to use. | |

Fright Night (1985): Peter Vincent is initially a subversion, as while he plays the role of such a hunter on TV, he's just that, an actor. However, once Jerry and Evil Ed come into the picture, he slowly becomes the real deal when he manages to kill the latter with the very stuff he has on hand. Charley himself is forced to become one, albeit of the Action Survivor variety, in order to save his girlfriend from Jerry's influence and vampirism. | |

In Darkest Dungeon, the Fanatic is a vampire hunter added in the Crimson Court DLC which will attack your party members if they are infected by the Crimson Curse. While he has the traditional vampire-hunting implements like garlic, stakes, and various holy protections and seals, he more resembles a crazed, fanatical monk than anything remotely heroic. He wants to get rid of the Curse at any cost, and doesn't care how someone gets it; he'll kill not only the Cursed, but anyone who associates with them. For this reason, he is the terror of the Hamlet during the events of the DLC, and anyone who incurs his wrath runs the risk of being burned at the stake like so many of the innocents he's killed in his mad quest. | |

Season three of Havenfall Is for Lovers introduces a female vampire hunter who claims the name Van Helsing, and takes a few style notes from Vampire Hunter D and the various Belmonts of Castlevania while she's at it. Since a vampire and a werewolf both number among the protagonist's close friends and potential love interests, Van Helsing's arrival in Havenfall provides more than a little cause for concern. | |

Baron Vordenburg in Carmilla is one of the earliest examples, and probably the Trope Maker. He is an eccentric old nobleman who has devoted his life to the study of the lore of vampires and the tracking down and extermination of them. He also has family history with Carmilla (the vampire in the story): his ancestor was an admirer of Countess Mircalla, as she was then known, during her life and did some research about what became of her. Unlike later examples of the trope, he does not actually hunt vampires physically, probably because he is too old and frail for that, but provides the lore and information needed to find and eliminate them. | |

In AdventureQuest an early class the player character could take was the Vampire Slayer, which was renovated into the Shadow Slayer and Night Hunter classes. Both classes specialize in skills that deal increased damage against undead, vampires, werewolves, and other night creatures, but the source of their powers are very much different. The class trainers are Cenara and Donovan, respectively, who are dracopyres and hunt each other down. | |

The Vampire Diaries has three in the modern setting. Alaric Saltzman - The good version who only goes after evil vampires. He opens a school for young vampires, werewolves, and witches, which is showcased in the Legacies spin-off, but never parts with his trusty crossbow. "Uncle John" Gilbert - The morally ambiguous version, who goes after ALL vampires... except Isabel. In the flashback segments, Jonathon Gilbert (distant relative of Uncle John) seems to have been a vampire hunting badass of the "they ALL must die" variety back in 1864. He "invented", with some help from Emily, several weapons and devices that can help him to easily locate and destroy vampires, many of which reappear in the modern setting. Bad guy Connor Jordan and Elena's brother Jeremy Gilbert are part of the Brotherhood of the Five, which are sworn to kill all vampires. The Brotherhood was brought together by a witch and given supernatural powers and a map to a cure to vampirism. |

In Master of Darkness, the Player Character is Dr. Ferdinand Social, an Ouija Board-playing psychologist who seeks to defeat Count Dracula, whom he believes is behind a series of killings in London attributed to Jack the Ripper. However, Jack is indeed responsible, for he is using the victim's bodies and fresh blood for sacrificial offerings as part of a dark ritual being performed by Count Massen to resurrect Dracula. | |

Abel Nightroad of Trinity Blood is not quite of the Hunter of His Own Kind type, but is similar. He isn't actually a vampire, but a member of a vampiric race of vampire hunters (who drink vampire blood like the vampires feed on humans), Crusniks, which is exactly three individuals strong with one more long dead. | |

In My Best Friend is a Vampire, we have Professor McCarthy and sidekick Grimsdyke. They're dangerously inept Knight Templar types, who are rather careless about target identification and don't seem to actually know a lot about vampires. At one point, McCarthy tries a Silver Bullet on Modoc, which only seems to mildly amuse him and doesn't even damage his clothing. The one vampire they do manage to get their hands on, Nora, is back in action by the end of the movie and doesn't even seem particularly bothered by the inconvenience. Lucky for non-vampire Ralph, a victim of mistaken identity, the real vampires are able to easily rescue him before he gets staked. | |

The night teams in Night Watcher are a secret/informal government/municipal initiative for just this. Arguably subverted in that they generally work with the vampire conspiracy against the more feral vampires and mostly aim for population control; though the ones actually seen in the book (two cops, later joined by a journalist, a psychic werewolf, and a vampire that has overcome his craving for blood and helped by The Mafiya) seem to be keen on making this a Double Subversion. | |

In The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion: One quest has a group of vampire hunters show up in Skingrad, where the undercover vampire Count Hassildor asks the player character to get rid of them one way or another. Given that they do all their patrolling during the day and overlook the vampire den just down the road from the city gate, "hunter" is perhaps generous. The Order of the Virtuous Blood are a group of nominal vampire hunters who sheepishly admit that they don't actually have the talent or resources to hunt vampires, per se. Given that their leader is a vampire Mole in Charge who frames innocents for his murders, that's probably for the best. Skyrim: The Dawnguard DLC has the Dragonborn either join or oppose the eponymous group of vampire hunters. Vampires are one of the supernatural creatures hunted by the Vigil of Stendarr, a group formed in the wake of the Oblivion Crisis with the goal of preventing such a calamity from ever happening again by destroying creatures (Daedra, vampries, werewolves, undead, etc.) who seek to prey on mortals. |

In Guild Hunter they are organized by the Hunter's Guild, their main task is to bring back alive thoses vampires foolish enough to think they can escape their contract to their Angelic masters for punishment. Lethal force is only used in extreme cases, or to hunt down the fews who have given in to their bloodlust. The best Hunters are the "Hunter-Born" like Elena, who are stronger and faster than normal humans, and can track vampires by their scent like two-legged bloodhounds. |

The Laundry Files: Deconstructed in The Rhesus Chart. Anyone willing to track down and kill vampires must by definition be insane — given that vampires are essentially serial killers with Super-Strength, Mind Control and are (usually) powerful sorcerers. As vampire numbers must be kept low to maintain the Masquerade, the more cunning and long-lived vampires utilize these psychotics to kill off their rivals. The vampire hunter in the book is a woman with a 'fang fetish' who assassinates vampires by seducing them, breaking their neck, having sex with their paralyzed body, then leaving them next to an open window so they'll be burnt up come dawn. And you thought Spike and Buffy got up to some twisted shit. | |

The Vampire: The Eternal Struggle collectible card game has the Muddled Vampire Hunter, an ally who can attack vampires, hits hard and strikes first, so any vampire he attacks with 3 or fewer blood points will get taken out instantly without a chance to strike back. If the vampire finds some way to resist, however, the hunter is toast. He's "muddled" because, as the ally of the player, he's unwittingly being controlled by an elder vampire. | |

In the horror-comedy What We Do in the Shadows, newly-turned vampire Nick keeps revealing the fact that he's a vampire to strangers, one of whom claims to be a vampire hunter. It turns out he wasn't lying- he really was a vampire hunter and indirectly causes the death of Petyr, an ancient vampire who was also one of Nick's flatmates. | |

Arcueid Brunestud from Tsukihime is of the Hunter of His Own Kind type. Only by the label "vampire", though, as she's of an entirely different species, and is the Last of Her Kind.note Well, because she killed the rest. The ones she hunts are of the other type. | |

The second installment of My Very First Vampire Blood Drive introduces Anny, Bunny's friend from high school who confesses that she's actually the member of a family of famous vampire hunters. Considering Bunny's girlfriend Velvet is a vampire, Bunny's a bit alarmed by this, but as it turns out, Anny has never killed or even actually met a vampire. After experiencing how kind Velvet is and seeing how happy she and Bunny are together, she renounces her vampire hunter ways. | |

John Carpenter's Vampires: Jack Crow leads a group of vampire hunters who are mercenaries on the payroll of the Catholic church. They're pretty effective at it until they receive a visit from the Master Vampire Jan Valek, who is far stronger than anything they have ever dealt with, so quickly wipes out everyone but Crow and his best friend. | |
