The Hunter

The Hunter is a slender, almost skeletal creature with transparent skin similar to slime. This contributes to the high invisibility of the monster, especially in dark places on the ship. The monster resembles a humanoid or a jellyfish. The monster has a skeleton, there are three jaws, two of which protrude to kill the player. The hunter has large, elongated appendages topped with other sharp appendages, which he uses to capture and kill prey.

The Hunter (originally known as The Stalker)[2] is one of the three antagonists that may pursue players while they attempt to escape the Hisa Maru in Monstrum.

History:

According to a lab report made prior to the events of Monstrum, two injured humans were subjected to a compound based on the genetic material of "Turritopsis dohrnii", commonly known as the immortal jellyfish. The first test subject gained increased strength, aggression, and cellular regeneration at the cost of intelligence. The second gained increased intelligence, though the subject's healing factor did not prove as potent as the first one's, leaving that person with unhealed scar tissues, damaged nerves, and the constant feeling of pain. Determining that these tests require further refinement, the lab report concluded that both test subjects must be euthanized. This ultimately did not go as planned, as both test subjects appeared to have survived and escaped, with the first one implied to have become "The Brute", and the second one implied to have become "The Fiend". This leaves The Hunter as the only creature in Monstrum with an ambiguous origin, as her existence was only hinted at in a single note which brings up a "big rat problem" that busted through the vent covers and ripped through several boxes to messily feast on the food within. While it is possible that The Hunter is a natural or extraterrestrial specimen that was left unaccounted for, it is also likely that The Hunter, too, was once a human, as indicated by her human-like skeletal structure and her transparent skin, which resembles that of the jellyfish used to make the compound that brought about The Brute and The Fiend.
