Introduced in {{DQ2}}, it is a weaker version of the [[Killing machine]] that often hints to the presence of [[Metal slime]]s being in the immediate area. | |||

As the lesser creature, | As the lesser creature, Hunter mechs are typically weaker than Killing machines and tend to lack some of the stronger's qualities, such as resistances and the ability to strike more than once per round. They do serve a great purpose in that they tend to appear only in or around areas where metal monsters, such as [[Metal slime]]s and [[Liquid metal slime]]s, are known to appear. It should be noted that Hunter mechs do not always appear where there are metal monsters: in fact, most titles in the series to feature the monster only have them occurring in single, closely located areas. | ||
In its original appearance the | In its original appearance the Hunter mech did not have a sword and was missing a quiver to hold its crossbow bolts. This was changed in later installments. | ||
