Physical Description and Attributes[]
According to the Left for Dead Fandom: "The Hunter appears in a faded blue hooded sweatshirt and dark brown sweatpants. His hood is always pulled down and over his face, which on close inspection, reveals that the skin around his eyes has either been clawed off or has mortified as a result of the Infection."
Appearances[]
The Hunter can be seen in the scene where the camera pans out to reveal the rest of the Monsters kept in the Facility. The outline of it standing idly can be seen in its cube near the top of the screen. It was not seen during the System Purge.
The outline of the Hunter can faintly be seen in is cube prison.
Inspiration[]
The Hunter, along with its fellow special infected, makes an appearance in the film's final edit as a cameo because the developers at Valve wanted to create and release a DLC chapter in Left for Dead that featured The Cabin and Facility as maps. However, the idea was scrapped due to bankruptcy.
