Predator Hunt Survivors: Humans Who Lived
Few humans live through a Yautja hunt. Dutch Schaefer walked out of the 1987 hunt in Val Verde, Mike Harrigan killed the City Hunter in 1997 Los Angeles, and Naru killed the Feral Predator on the Great Plains in 1719 and walked home with its head. Machiko Noguchi survived the outbreak on Ryushi, took the Blooded mark, and later hunted with a clan. The articles below cover those survivors and the hunts that left them alive.
