Hunter

A Hunter is a special infected zombie featured in the Left 4 Dead franchise.

Characteristics
A Hunter's main objective is to kill or injure any surviving humans. They usually try and seperate survivors from the group to weaken their strength and possibilities. Once a survivor is pinned down by a Hunter, they are helpless and can only be rescued if another survivor kills the Hunter or the Hunter releases its victim.

Hunter's are usually hard to detect if they are hiding in groups or high buildings but the survivors can usually tell when a Hunter is around because of the screeches of cries it makes.

Hunters can pounce from long distances to reach survivors and incapacitate them. When it has pounced on a survivor, the Hunter pins the helpless victim down to the ground while the survivor is attacked with the Hunter's sharp fingernails.
