Best Age for Preds?

[Anthro21]

This isn't something I've really considered until recently, but what do most people consider the "best age" for a predator to be? For example, I generally prefer my preds to be young adults (or the equivelent). But then there's an acception to this rule. Simba from The Lion King. Sure, his older self is hot enough, for some reason I really enjoy it when I read a story, or look at a picture when he's preding as a cub. I just find the idea that such a young creature could be a sadistic pred really hot. But like I said, that's an acception. When I try this with other preds, it doesn't always work, at least not to that effect. So I guess I'm wondering if anyone else feels similarly. Is there a preferred age for your preds? And if so, is there an acception? I don't know, I just thought it could make for an interesting discussion.

I think 20-30 is my favorite, I really like young preds too...Like 20 and under too. I feel around 27 is cutest.

All my predators are usually in their early to mid 20`s. Late 20`s and 30 is fine for me as well, but the thing is that most of my prey characters are under 20, oftentimes even under 18, so I try not to make them too old, or else people will suspect lolicon and think I`m into weird underage stuff.

18-21 year old girls with a nice ass, they can fart on me and swallow me alive.

8-30

8-30

Ehh, I assume you mean 18?

[Kitsouille]

As far as physical appearance is concerned, somewhere about 18-35 usually. It's more about the mindset the pred would have but rarely, slipping down to teens exhibits a certain cruelty from immaturity and lack of proper understating about life and death (basically eaten as a "game" by someone who doesn't know or care about consequences).

[EndercreeperMugen]

For me personally, 18 to late 20's are ideal age for a pred. There are exceptions for characters who are older than they appear (Lusamine and Flandre Scarlet for example).

[coop500]

I prefer around 30, too young and the pred feels more like a boy then a man for me and I prefer a more mature, adult predator.

Exceptions are feral creatures, as long as it's a adult then I'm happy.

[Theguythatdoes]

I like the idea of the Pred being emotional, not knowing what they're doing is bad, or both, perfect, for a younger pred. For instance, a little boy eating his sister because he got mad at her, not realizing he's breaking her down in his belly.

If from a species that relies on vore to survive, the parents would start bringing home winded or weakened prey as soon as they are wend and have them ready to start hunting on their own at the equivalence of 13.

For an anomoly, the ability would start at the equivalence of 15 and be fully developed by 18. The lead would be on their own to learn how to get prey, so may take until the equivalence of 25 to get good at it. So a range of 18 to 40 is a descent age for anomaly preds.

[Cowrie]

Late teens (like, 16+) to mid twenties, or, in nonhumans that age differently, the equivalent thereof. For certain scenarios I can handle a bit younger, as much as 14, but any younger and I squick, and sometimes even then depending on what else is going on in the scene. Similarly, any pred older than 30 is uninteresting, and if paired with younger prey, slightly squicky. Cougar stuff just isn't my thing.

[Midir]

Slightly older than the prey, normally.

Hundreds of years. An ancient dragon.

[vore2412]

Depends on scene and character, etc. Normally 18-30's, unless race/backstory opts for older character, e.g. succubus, demoness, angels, dragons, elves, magic users, et. al. Most of mine are between 20-30ish in roleplay scenes.

[GramzonTheDragon]

Generally young adult to adult so like... 20-40 for anthro pred scenes or the equivalent for feral species.

[Aviannapper]

This discussion reminded me the old joke. When someone came to the sage and asked what the meaning of life is, he answered the following:
"...All my life I was looking for the meaning of life, but I realized only one thing ... Better to f**k while you're young!"(c)

Ok, actually, age is a very relative concept, especially for non-human characters.

[Merodi]

I like shota preds if they're cute sometimes, and guys in their late 20s to mid 60s if they're like.. handsome, but I especially like late teens and early 20s. Those just are interesting to me, since they still have that youthful... spirit I like haha

[puck5]

18-40 for women and 18-29 for men in my opinion.

[Jayezox]

Mid 20's in human years is the best, but anywhere between 20-45 is at least acceptable.
