Hunters are enemies found in Gex: Enter The Gecko appearing in Toon TV. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to Elmer Fudd, these "seperated-at-birth-buddies" attack Gex by shooting bullets that can home in on him. One mission in "Out of Toon" also involves killing two of them.
Design and inspiration[]
Hunters take inspiration from Looney Tunes, specifically the character of Elmer Fudd. To further hammer this reference home, whenever Gex encounters these enemies, he is either dressed in either a Daffy Duck-like costume or a Bugs Bunny-like outfit, both of whom are frequent targets of Elmer Fudd.
Behavior and strategy[]
Hunters will often patrol a specific area of the level. When Gex gets too close, they will face Gex and fire large homing bullets at him. Regarding how to contend with Hunters, Gex has two options. The first is to guide the Hunters' bullets back at them and the second is to get in close and either tail whip or kick them (or for a more cartoony effect, tailbouncing on them), as Hunters will not walk around so long as Gex is in their territory. Damaging them three times with any one of these attacks will defeat them.
