Characters in this world are shaped by their animal instincts and the societal norms that govern their interactions. Carnivores are often seen as powerful and intimidating, while herbivores are viewed as gentle and timid. However, these stereotypes are not always accurate, and individuals can defy expectations. Some characters may have a fascination with the opposite role, whether it's a carnivore who longs to be a herbivore or a herbivore who fantasizes about being a predator.

The world of Predator or Prey is one of contrasts, where the natural instincts of its inhabitants are at odds with the societal norms that govern their behavior. Meat-eating is taboo, but still practiced in secret by some carnivores. Dating between carnivores and herbivores is also frowned upon, especially among the older generations. Despite these tensions, characters in this world strive to find their place and assert their individuality.
