Predators

The Predators are the main antagonists of Them's Fightin' Herds; carnivorous beasts that were banished from Fœnum. They originally terrorized and menaced the ungulates of the land on a daily basis. It was then that the nations of Foenum united a stand against the Predators, going into a long and costly war against the beasts. They eventually drove the Predators into an empty realm called The Hold, where The Prophet locked them away using an enchanted key made from one of her own horns. In addition, she also locked the door to Foenum to prevent outsiders from reaching the Predator's prison.

After years of living in their prison, the Predators discovered that the Prophet's magic was breaking. Before long, they would eventually break the lock to Foenum and once again return to the land en masse, lead by the greatest and most horrible of all Predators, The Devourer.

As they are trapped between worlds, they appear as ghostlike figures unable to intereact physically with the inhabitants.

Trivia

 * Some predators with no real ability to kill or eat ungulates, such as smaller snakes, Sheep Dogs, scorpions, and insects, weren't banished.
 * Omnivores that still eat ungulates is considered a threat and were banished to The Hold along with the other predators.
 * Longmas are part predator due to the species being descended from dragons.
