I don't think that all antags Need to be straightforwardly evil and hostile, especially on RP, but I can very easily see a reality where sec regularly allies with hunters to do their job, which I'm not particularly fond of
The main difference between Werewolves and Hunters is that Werewolves had very little in terms of stealth, so they stood out all the time. If they got seen, they had to either go friendly puppy or rampage shortly after, there wasn't much wiggle room. Hunters have stealth capabilities, they can choose to be seen. It's much more of a predator vibe, pun not intended. I cannot see Hunters allying themselves with Security, safe for a truce, because they are murder machines. Unlike some other antags who may be friendly at face value, hunters typically don't have that benefit of the doubt.

Valid hunting on RP is a rare thing, it happens and it should get ahelped. Having the power to kill doesn't mean you go rampage, traitors have a pretty similar kit to hunters if they choose to, they can also grab cloaking, katana or guns easily. If traitors don't regularly rampage, I don't see why Hunters would.
