General Pred Types

[danathtiger]

Bait-type Pred
Lures prey to them or to a certain location.

- traps (physical/mental/auditory)
- avoids chasing and prefers to be in control of the situation
- unexpected vore scenarios for the prey
- body/scent can be lure
- hypnosis/mind control

Example: Stallion with a bondage fetish gets wrapped up nice and tight for a dom, but one kink turns to another when the big bear gets hungry.
Example: Enormous cougar at the gym gets his post-workout protein by showing off his guns in the locker room to some cute otters.
Example: A short and slender black panther easily attracts big bad doms who want to treat him dirty for a night. He loves sticking 'em into his sloshing nuts when they don't expect it.

Hunter-type Pred
Stalks and chases prey.

- loves the thrill of the chase
- careful and long-term planning with big pay-offs
- short- or long-term hunt, but won't say no to opportunistic meals
- includes exhaustion-style predation
- macros

Example: A hungry wolf tracks, observes, and scents his fox prey before pouncing at the perfect, private moment.
Example: A cool canine bounty hunter is on the trail of a notorious thief wanted jizzed or alive.
Example: An orca chases a cute bunny morsel for hours until the long-eared snack succumbs to exhaustion (and the orca's belly).

Casual-type Pred
Eats whoever, whenever, wherever.

- nonchalant about eating peeps
- may or may not involve sexual arousal
- witnesses don't care
- power dynamics between characters, including social striation or sub-classes

Example: Downsizing at the office means the lioness manager takes an extra long lunch break with three under-performing workers.
Example: New roommate ordered the wrong pizza toppings. After the roommate and the pizza, it's time to find a new roommate.

Mimic-type Pred
Uses shapeshifting or other paranormal skills to entrap prey.

- tricking prey through changing appearances
- possible goo/rubber morphologies
- cunning over strength
- pretending to be prey before turning the tables

Example: alien tiger goes on vacation on Earth using a sci-fi style disguise to change his appearance between snacks.
Example: Goo-monster assumes form of normal person riding an otherwise empty subway car when a cute ferret gets on board.

Unwilling-type Pred
Forced to vore despite desire to avoid it.

- forced by others
- physical compulsion/addiction
- can't help themselves

Example: A big bull is on a hotel elevator with three cute fox bellhops when the elevator gets stuck and the bull's instincts take over.
Example: Coach is unhappy with his favorite starter's physical development, so he straps the wolf to a bench and turns him into an unwilling pred with the cooperation of a few squirmy freshmen players that didn't make the cut.

Non-Hunter Pred
Only eats the willing.

- forms relationships with willing prey
- vore is how relationship is consummated
- deity/worshipper

Example: Musclecat at the gym gets his pick of which eager sycophant to stuff down his muzzle from among the eager males worshiping his magnificent body.
Example: A large croc decides it's time to take his relationship with his cute hamster boyfriend to the next level after said BF starts dropping not-so-subtle hints, like leaving vore websites open on the computer.

This is a really great list for reference, thank you!

My favorite type of preds are bait, hunter and mimic (my character is all three), but I also really like unwilling preds if they are done in an interesting way

Hehe, the way you typed this up gives me the impression you're a World of Darkness player. It really looks like how they describe their character types.

[Litenosöt]

Very interesting, I really like the first three preds

I've had a fascination with "predator styles" for a while, even going as far as to start a project to make a Myers-Briggs style indicator for vore. I really like the categories you've come up with here, as well as the examples you gave.

I recently been feeling the need for something between casual and non-hunter. Something like a pred who's well liked and a respectable member of their community. Running local fundraisers, fixing things for their neighbors, etc. So much so that others in said community would gladly feed themselves to them. They deserve a hearty meal.

I thought of something that might make a decent addition to this post. Maybe it's more a scenario for the other categories than it's own or has too much overlap with Unwilling, but I figured I might as well do a little type-up.

Accidental/Unaware Pred
Not seeking out prey, but not necessarily bothered by having eaten someone by happenstance
[list]- Could go either way about eating people
- Generally only stays that way the first time, will likely "graduate" to another category before too long
- No active participation in the situation
- Surprised by own predatory ability, possibily unaware of it altogether
- Generally not oral vore
[quote]Example: A teleportation accident leaves a scientist inside their research assistant, who doesn't particularly mind the new and interesting sensation coming from their stomach
Example: A dentist appointment takes a turn for the awkward when the patient finds their gag reflex works in a different direction than most.
Example: The classic 'watch where you're sitting scenario
Example: A recent experimental medical procedure has left the subject inexplicably able to instantaneously absorb other beings through their skin, potentially unrealized by the oblivious patient.
