Predatory Aggression (attack of prey by a predator) refers to human motivated attack behaviors. This kind of aggression is directed to natural prey and is deeply routed in our ancestors hunting behavior. Today it can be seen in the behavior of normal individuals as hunting. Abnormal/deviant subjects such as Narcissists may see other humans as lesser being or as non-equals and may not have any moral issues with stealing or hurting such individuals
