The Nature of Predators is a science fiction Web Serial Novel by SpacePaladin15, and hosted on the /r/HFY subreddit. The first episode was posted in 2022. A paperback book, containing revised versions of chapters 1-40 and several Patreon side stories, was released on the 11th of December, 2023.

In 2136, the first Human expedition to the stars leaves Earth and reaches Gliese 832. When they reach it, they find out that it is inhabited by the Venlil Republic, a member of the Federation, a coalition of numerous species, all of them herbivorous. Terrified by the predatory humans, the Venlil struggle to see them as anything else but monsters, but eventually get over their fears. Unfortunately, not all species of the Federation are as willing to look beyond Humanity's diet, especially as the Arxur, lizard-like carnivorous aliens, have been ravaging the galaxy for centuries...

In addition to the main story, the author has written canon one-shots and miniseries set in the same universe for patrons on Patreon. The first episode of the bonus miniseries can be found for free here.
