| “ | You and your people took away our home. That's fair play. Now we're out here like everybody else trying to survive. And in order to do that, we have to hunt. Didn't start that way, eating people. It evolved into that. We evolved. We had to. And now we've devolved, into hunters... I just hope you understand that nothing happening to you now is personal. | „ |

| ~ Terminus' motto. |
The Hunters, also known as the Terminus Group, are a dangerous, flesh-eating group of survivors residing at a compound named Terminus. They are supporting antagonists in Season 4 and major antagonists in Season 5 of AMC's The Walking Dead.
They were originally survivors willing to help others, until they were brutalized a by a hostile group, after which they became amoral cannibals who seek to either recruit or consume all survivors they encounter.
History[]
Founding[]
Terminus was originally founded after the apocalypse as a sanctuary, putting up signs and even sending signals via radio. It was run by Gareth, Mary, Alex and several other survivors during those times.
Occupation[]
At some point a hostile group took over Terminus, locking up the original inhabitants and torturing them. Over time Gareth, after witnessing his mother be tortured several times, became disillusioned with the world, deciding that he and others would either be "the butcher or the cattle".
The residents of Terminus eventually rose up against their tormentors, killing and eating them, save for the leader who was locked up as punishment.
A shrine was built for those who had perished during the occupation.
New Terminus[]
It was decided that all future new-comers to the Sanctuary would either join the group or be slaughtered like cattle and consumed. Even dead residents would be carved up, as not to waste meat.
Rick's Arrival and Terminus' Destruction[]
At some point the people of Terminus captured Rick's group in two stages, with the first consisting of Glenn, Maggie, Sasha, Bob, Tara, Abraham, Rosita and Eugene and the second consisting of Rick, Carl, Daryl and Michonne.
The group was rescued by Carol Peletier, who destroyed one of the propane tanks of Terminus, which destroyed the fence, and walkers start to roam the the grounds, killing many residents of Terminus and Carol killed Mary herself.
Rick and his managed to escape, with most of Terminus being dead. In secret, Gareth and five others survived, who started to follow the group.
The Hunters and the Red Machete[]
Gareth and the five others (Martin, Theresa, Albert, Greg and Mike), know referring to themselves as the Hunters, followed Rick's group for a couple of days, until they captured Bob Stookey, who they started to eat by dismembering him. Bob revealed to them that he was already bitten by a zombie and started laughing at them, until he knocked out by Gareth. The group returned Bob and counted on Rick to lead most of the fighters to leave the church they had been staying in, planning to kill the weaker ones first.
Fortunately for the group, Rick and his fighters surprised Gareth, and killed him, alongside his five comrades. Their bodies were buried outside the church by Rick and Tyreese.
