* ComicBook/{{Blade}} is a {{Dhampir}} vampire hunter. Him being part vampire, the thing he hates the most has caused him no small amount of grief.
* In the Italo-Argentinean comic ''ComicBook/{{Cybersix}}'', the eponymous heroine and her brother Data 7 hunt [[BigBad Von Reichter]]'s other, malicious creations. The [[WesternAnimation/{{Cybersix}} show of the same name]] has a similar premise.
* [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate]] ComicBook/{{Morbius}} is a true vampire and Vlad the Impaler's brother. He stakes other vampires but not before apologizing to them for being unable to save them. And rather than turning people into vampires his bite prevents humans from fully turning after they have already been bitten.

* Magiere from ''Literature/TheSagaOfTheNobleDead'' is a [[{{Dhampyr}} dhampyr]] and she hunts and kills vampires. Later it turns out that she could only be born because of a special ritual, and because of her origin, has a natural hatred for vampires.

* Rayne from ''VideoGame/BloodRayne'' is a Dhampyr with one hell of a vendetta against her vampiric father Kagan for [[ChildByRape the circumstances leading to her birth]].

* WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom is a half-ghost who fights other ghosts.
** Skulker is a villainous example, as he hunts ghosts he deems "rare" for sport despite being a ghost himself.

* ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', Rex being an EVO, is employed to fight [=EVOs=]. This trope is actually [[PlayedWith played with]] because everyone on Earth, [[spoiler:except White Knight,]] is infected with nanites, the things that cause people to turn into [=EVOs=]. That means ''everyone'' at Providence is hunting down their own kind and anyone of them could randomly turn into one at ''anytime'' without warning.

* In ''Literature/EmpireOfTheVampire'', the ''palebloods'' are {{Dhampyr}} children born of vampiric fathers and human mothers, and inherit many traits from their monstrous progenitors. Believing their birth to be a heavy sin against nature and God, the Silversaints of the Ordo Argent recruits and trains these children to dedicate their lives to the destruction of His enemies, be they vampire, demon, fae or any other monster of the dark, so that they may redeem their own cursed souls. Vampires are their most common quarry, and indeed much of a Silversaint's training focuses specifically on combating their undead relatives.

* Rachel from ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' is a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Fiend]] hunter whose Fiend blood grants her powers such as SuperStrength that allows her to lift [[DropTheHammer her large hammer]] and [[MagicKnight cast magic spells]]. In her debut, she was hunting her little sister Alma who had been turned into a full Fiend by Doku. The main protagonist, Ryu Hayabusa, belongs to a clan that is descended from Fiends who rebelled against their evil deities.

** [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate]] ComicBook/{{Morbius}} is a true vampire and Vlad the Impaler's brother. He stakes other vampires but not before apologizing to them for being unable to save them. And rather than turning people into vampires his bite prevents humans from fully turning after they have already been bitten.

* ''Fanfic/FamilyOfTheShield'': [[OurManticoresAreSpinier Monti Iwatani]] is a Wave Monster that was hatched from an egg originally found within the stomach of the Chimera Wave Boss and raised by Naofumi Iwatani and Raphtalia as their son, and that he values Raphtalias' world as a place worth protecting from the Waves of Catastrophe, using his CannibalismSuperpower to gain new powers by eating the flesh and blood of Wave Monsters and Wave Bosses. [[spoiler:When he Class Upgrades, Monti has now become a Wave Boss himself: and he now has the ability to usurp control over a Wave from it's Wave Boss to instantly turn it off: provided that the Wave Boss in-question has both lower Health and Stats compared to Monti]].
