'''[Hunter]''' is a job description as well as a (mostly ranged) combat-oriented [[Classes|class]] with many different subclasses. == Background == While [Hunters] are present in most areas of the world, some groups are more notable for having more and better ones: Plains [[Gnolls]] (as they live a nomadic lifestyle) and [[Noelictus]] in [[Terandria]], detailed below. But of course, there are other famous and high-leveled hunters with different backgrounds as well. Even [[Bird|Antinium]] and [[Embria|Drakes]] can become specialized [Hunters]. Some classes centered around seeking something may have "Hunter" in their name, but are not part of the combat-oriented classes discussed. Noelictus, the ''Kingdom of Shade'', is very famous for its most important export good, which is [Hunters] and their [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlanetOfHats hats],<ref>Both [Witch Hunters] and [Vampire Hunters] have distinctive hats, as Ryoka noticed.</ref> as it is home to the Hunters' Guild of Terandria.

Male [Hunters] may be called [Huntsmen] and female ones [Huntresses], but the generic term [Hunters] always fits. Related basic classes with similar skillsets are [Scout] and [Ranger] and probably [Survivor]/[Survivalist]. :''Note: it is possible that some of these classes are not actual [Hunters], or that a hunter-type class was missed.
