The creature, seeing that she is no longer a threat, leaves.įrench voyageurs, who were the ones responsible for skinning the bison of their pelts, find Naru and cage her, ordering their translator, Raphael Adolini, to question her about the creature. The creature swiftly ambushes and kills them, and Naru tries to escape before her foot gets snagged in a metal fur trap. Fleeing in horror, she finds a pack of Comanche hunters sent to find and bring her home. She catches a mere glimpse of the stalker as the blood showering down from the bear's corpse covers it. Suddenly, she watches as the bear is overpowered and killed by her stalker. She squeezes herself into a large thicket as the bear attacks. She is quickly cornered by the beast due to her lack of experience. When she tries to launch an arrow at the bear, her bow snaps, the noise alerting the grizzly. Later, she spots a grizzly bear near the river below her vantage point on a cliff. She prays briefly over the wasted carcasses, planting a totem on the head of the nearest one. An envious Naru leaves home with Sarii in secret the next day to hunt she comes across a herd of skinned bison. Taabe carries her home and returns to finish off the weakened lion, a deed for which he is honored by the chieftain and the rest of the tribe. She manages to trap the lion but falls and strikes her head after being distracted by a burst of light. Taabe however stays behind to find the mountain lion and complete the hunt. They retrieve their wounded tribe member and depart, the mountain lion having apparently been spooked off by an unknown stalker that follows and observes the hunters while collecting the skulls of several local predatory species. Taabe agrees to take her with him as he leads a search party for the mountain lion that attacked one of the tribe's hunters. While tracking deer with her dog Sarii, she witnesses the arrival of a "thunderbird" in the sky (in reality a Predator ship dropping off a hunter), taking it as a sign that she is ready to prove herself. Naru herself is quite skilled in using a tomahawk as a thrown weapon. In September of 1719, somewhere across the Northern Great Plains of North America, Naru, a young Comanche woman trained as a healer, dreams of becoming a great hunter like her brother, Taabe. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advance arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, "Prey" is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior.
