"Small but blindingly fast, Pack Hunters are reptilian predators equipped with rows of armor-shredding teeth and insatiable appetites. While one or two shots from most weapons will destroy a single Hunter, they compensate for their lack of armor by outnumbering and overwhelming their prey. Masters of efficient killing, a swarm of five to seven Hunters can de-flesh a creature the size of a Brute in a matter of seconds. Since they possess no long-range attacks, and their close-range attacks are so lethal, Pack Hunters are best handled from a distance."

– Unreal: RTNP manual

The Predator is a creature exclusive to Unreal Mission Pack: Return to Na Pali.

Overview

Predators are a RTNP-exclusive race of enemies consisting of small, reptilian, dinosaur-like creatures native to Na Pali. It can usually be found in packs, they attack by running toward you at extremely high speeds and make attempts to bite the player. They are fairly hard to kill, even though they have little health, as their agility and speed makes them hard to hit. The thing that makes them even more formidable is that they attack in packs, rarely attacking alone.

The Predators' strength lies in numbers. Predators are never seen walking alone in the Return to Na Pali campaign, but rather in groups ranging from 3 to 6 Predators. Their bite may seem harmless (only chipping away 5 HP), but Predators are fast little creatures, and bite often. Larger groups are therefore a serious threat.

Appearances

• Return to Na Pali
  • Edge of Na Pali
  • Neve's Crossing
  • Approaching UMS Prometheus
  • Spire Valley
  • Nagomi Passage (Dawn)

Tips and tricks

• When fighting a group, use heavier weaponry such as the Flak Cannon to take out the first few. With only a few Predators remaining it's easier to keep them all in sight, which allows for the use of mid-range weapons such as the ASMD or Bio Rifle. Predators tend to freeze up for a second after being hit, which makes them an easy target.
• The ASMD does an excellent job of pushing the Predators back, keeping them well out of range. A safe way of battling Predators is to get onto a moderately high ledge. Predators are not able to jump very high, yet they will try to get as close as possible, making them easy and defenseless targets.

Trivia

• A 2D pop-up Predators (Unreal version) is one of John Dalton's targets in Unreal II: The Awakening's weapon training.
