Part 1
I wish we got to see him fight more in the show. Show me how he fights when he actually mad or doing stuff closer to his full potential! He so op and people don’t acknowledge it. That fact he did all that with a staff he wasn’t even familiar with!
yall gotta STOP saying hunter was trying to kill amity in eclipse lake. he was not. he was going out of his way not to kill her. his goal was to get the key and to get the key only.
lets discuss in detail.
absolute first thing that happens: King wehs Hunter
Hunter gets Flapjack staff
He teleports twice, says 'real staffs are weird' and then amity ties him up. he teleports out of this into the air.
then we has his first actual aggressive non defensive move:
This is an AOE attack. area of effect. its an attack that does less damage but hits a larger area. so this sends bolts of magic scattering and bouncing all over the place. none of them actually HIT her. and this attack does not aim at her. It purely puts her on the defensive because she is now dodging blasts.
she hops off her staff to block one and then hunter teleports in
he is now behind her and she is caught off guard. he does not attack her flank, he just reaches for the key, before king tackles him.
he teleports behind her again, and this time comes in with a swing.
one she easily blocks. again, not a magical attack here. staff bash.
okay now follow this:
hes here, with her shield
he zaps over here, lower, moves to swing but doesnt, zaps again
baps her again after her shield has already moved above her head
she moves her shield left, he comes in right but hes not even swinging.
amity punches his fucking lights out and then orbs him
he hits her with this construction punch that knocks her off her staff before she can escape
and finally he breaks the necklace with his staff.
none of these attacks were lethal. he hits her with an AOE instead of a direct attack- and she didnt have a shield up yet because she had JUST used it to tie him up, then he hops around with, frankly, some staff bashes that are really holding back from what we know hes capable of, he knocks her off her staff and then when he has the opportunity to actually HIT her he hits the key instead.
compare this to the way he fights kikimora!
he nearly gets his head taken off when she scrapes his forehead and the next attack he blocks with his eyes on Kikimora, not the attack. thats like, important. that indicative of skill level.
especially because he does it twice in a row! the second time one handed! Left handed!
look at the completely different posture he zaps in to strike with. the hits on amity he is holding back.
this little bastard does a front flip mid teleport to generate strength behind this strike.
look how effortlessly he does this. imagine how many rotations that is in a single second. hes not even looking at it OR his hands. hes spinning that one handed.
ive trained on a bo staff. this shit is not easy. i trained for two years and couldnt get anywhere near that. just watch this video of noah fort going apeshit to see what this actually looks like irl.
he fucking... hits it back at her....
this little man can spin a staff so fast he can reflect magic and control the direction it fires. he hit kikimora so hard he sent her flying twenty feet.
if hunter had wanted to kill amity she'd be fucking dead dude. amity is a good fighter, like, don't get me wrong. but hunters op as absolute shit. hes a terrifying little man. he also fought her completely differently than he did kiki, and he wasnt even trying to kill her. we've never seen Hunter fight all out like, fight to the death when he was still at full strength. we have no idea what that would look like. but we know that fight with amity was faaaaar from his potential. intentionally. he is seriously holding back and clearly on purpose. its not just that hes exhausted already, its not just that he has a new staff, its that he is holding back. he is not using lethal techniques.

Just had a random thought of Owl Beast Eda and Ghoul AU Hunter having a vole-eating contest. I think that’s enough thinking for tonight.
Ghoul Hunter Au
They go on hunts together :3
She can definitely eat more than him but he’s very good at hunting them (it’s in his name)
Once we start approaching the post canon of this AU, Eda and Hunter bond quite well together. Since both of them deal with curses or curse-like (in Hunters case) things that in many ways ruined their lives. (Belos told Hunter he was cursed)
Eda is big advocate for Hunter and often the one to talk to him about being a “monster” considering she was labeled as one for so long. She helps make that deep rooted shame go away for a bit and often gives him moments of where he can embrace that side of himself just for a moment.
Voles and other animals are like the equivalent of drinking a cup of juice when hungry for Hunter, it does help a bit but it isn’t actually food and he’ll be hungry again in an hour. While normal cooked food is like water, at least the juice has some sugar and vitamins.
Thanks for the idea, this was really fun to draw :33
Need a version of Hunter where he traumatizes Belos back or something
It’s out of character but it’s a funny thought, like after Hollow mind he says fuck it and commits acts of warfare, psychological and physical on any emperor coven member he sees. He’s been betrayed in the worse way possible and makes it everyone else’s problem.
Sees what Gus can do in labyrinth runners and instantly wants to learn how to replicate it! Heard that Lilith cursed Eda, where she get those scrolls from?! Wild magic and dangerous magic/potion books from Eda and the school, he must have have them!
I don’t even know the specifics on how this would work but all I know is that kid needs to go rogue and traumatize that hag back I say!
Some Ghoul Hunter! Haven’t drawn this guy in a while, been a bit distracted by Sonic haha. This is meal time for Hunter.
Headcanon that Shadow has a ear tattoo after ripping off his tag because it was annoying (obvious, demeaning, humiliating and so much more than that)
Don’t worry, he regenerated!
Alcoholic Belos real!?
