Known for their habit of finding humans relentlessly, they are not to be messed with. It doesn't matter that they're abandoned to the Deadlands. Hunters are bred for one reason, and they do not relent. The Savage Hunter is an elite troop, primarily used to track down the hiding gears and humans of Sera. They sport large fangs and resemble more like a snake than they do a Locust.
They are one of the most vicious and degenerate looking Locusts out there, even amongst the standards of the Savage Locusts.
Despite the disbandment of the Hunters in favor of Grenadiers, the Savage Locusts, due to either desperation or lack of coherent command structure, led to the return of the Hunter assassins.
