Poaching means any illegal hunting, but Hollywood poachers only hunt endangered species, such as cute panda babies or meddling kids. Many Evil Poachers have no motivation to hunt and threaten people other than to be evil. They are like the evil polluters in Captain Planet who never manufacture anything. If Evil Poachers do get a motive, it will probably be selling their prey on the Black Market. Examples of Evil Poacher include:

| abstract | - Be aware! The wild is just filled with Evil Poachers willing to murder any human who gets in their way. Poaching means any illegal hunting, but Hollywood poachers only hunt endangered species, such as cute panda babies or meddling kids. Many Evil Poachers have no motivation to hunt and threaten people other than to be evil. They are like the evil polluters in Captain Planet who never manufacture anything. If Evil Poachers do get a motive, it will probably be selling their prey on the Black Market. Evil Poachers are Villains By Default in a Kids Wilderness Epic, a genre in which they tend to end up as slapstick idiots dressed in scary animal skins. In Real Life, most poachers are poor locals trying to get out of poverty; they are unable to afford a license. This is also a major reason why poor poachers will often target endangered animals - the rarity of their parts increases the value. There are some illegal trophy hunters, too. As an inversion, in older works, fairy tales and Folk Music, you will sometimes see a Loveable Rogue Poacher contrasted against the Evil Fatcat Landowner in a Peter Rabbit-vs-Farmer MacGregor kind of relationship. These are generally from a time when even kids' stories admitted that animals have to be killed for people to eat meat (and this kind of poacher always does hunt for food), and the conflict is more about the morality of claiming ownership of natural resources. A sister trope to the Egomaniac Hunter. Compare with Cruella to Animals. Contrast the Hunter Trapper, who hunts and traps legally, and is much more likely to be reasoned with.
