* ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'': In the 2018 ''The Sandman Universe'' run, the Wild Hunt is the very first hunt of predator and prey personified again and again as a method of catharsis for the inherent bloodlust that comes with life, a bloodlust that would only build and develop into wars and the potential end of the universe should they let it continue. The hunt usually involves the Hunted God being hunted by Thirst, Fear and Honor (personified as a trio of godly berserkers) across the universe. For a time, Odin Allfather led the hunt until they tracked it down and killed the Hunted God in {{Hell}}. Since all who suffer in Hell must stay in Hell, Lucifer would not allow them to keep their kill, but Odin managed to convince him otherwise on the condition that he joined their next hunt. [[ForTheEvulz As Lucifer does]], he perverted this sacred event by hunting the Hunted God before the hunt would even begin, killing the god at infancy again and again until the god's divine essence was whittled down nearly to nothing.

* In ''Huntress'', a short story in ''Literature/TortallAndOtherLands'', when a pack of {{Spoiled Brat}}s decides to [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunt the wrong girl]], the girl's patron Goddess appears and summons all the dogs in the area to join Her. With regret she thinks that [[TheHunterBecomesTheHunted this hunt will be unsatisfying]] and hints at a grander scale and at prey who understood that to look upon Her was to see their death, but alas times are corrupt. She still manages to have a good time, and returns to Her worshipper carrying a bloody-snouted terrier that keeps trying to wash Her face.

Sometimes the Hunt was hunting the dead or dying with the purpose of [[{{Psychopomp}} taking them to the afterlife]], such as the Norse version which was led by [[Characters/NorseMythology Odin]] or the Welsh version led by Gwyn ap Nudd. A Greek version is said to have been led by [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyMinorDeities Hecate]] or [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyOlympians Artemis]]; the [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyMortalsAndDemigods Maenads]]' orgies of ecstasy and bloodshed, led by Dionysus, bear some similarities as well. Some medieval regions reported that the Hunt was led by Diana -- though interestingly enough, ''not'' in any region where Diana had been worshipped historically.[[note]] There is only one goddess mentioned in the [[Literature/TheBible New Testament]], and it is Diana; folklorists consider it the most likely source.[[/note]] The other huntsmen were often the dead or hapless mortals swept up into the hunt for all eternity.
