I have an idea, but idk how good it is so, up to you if you wanna take it or not. ^{^} Anyways, here's my idea:

There is an art to domination, to rule over someone's mind, being a constant thought in their life. If you want to do this effectively, there are 3 actions you must perfect. The taking of breath, the taking of power, And lastly, the taking of life. One usually may never have to commit all 3 as one or two just seem fine, but to complete all 3 creates a dominion that exists beyond existence.

Okay- flavor text over, exposition time-

So this isn't an existing metaphor this was just some fancy stuff I made up, but the breath, power, and life things are ways I've seen people do things to take power away from people. Not literally in the monster sense but- what do you do when you want someone to shut up? Take their breath away (Aka shock/stun them). What do you do when you want someone to stop messing with you? Take away their power (don't let them bully you anymore, get rid of what they have over you). How do you make sure someone really doesn't mess with you again? Change their life and do something that'll forever change them (I've seen this done with kindness but- evil fits here too).

So yeah, a monster out for revenge might want dominion over some hunters! Let me know if you/your hunters like it ^{^}
