Hunter in Werewolf: Abilities and How to Win

The Hunter is on the Villagers' side. Whenever the Hunter goes home — by the vote or by a prank — they choose one person still here to take home with them. Everyone is told who went. If the game is already decided when the Hunter goes home, there is no choice. A setting can let the Hunter choose nobody.
