Poachers are evildoers who hunt immorally, often for prey that was illegal. There are many forms of poaching: they could be hunting or capturing endangered species for zoos and pet trades (e.g. Abdullah), hunting on land where animals were protected (e.g. Amos Slade), or animals that were legal to hunt while doing it the wrong way (e.g. Man). Many of them tend to be illegal fishermen, farmers and lumberjacks as well.

While not very common among the group, some poachers can be Pure Evil if they take pleasure in the suffering of their prey and show no remorse in their actions (e.g. Percival C. McLeach, Andrei Strasser, and Hunter).
