alien hunter

Extraterrestrial species tracker

An alien hunter is someone who searches for extraterrestrial life, either literally—as scientists scanning the cosmos for signals—or figuratively in science fiction, where hunters track and capture or kill alien creatures.

The term also applies to immigration enforcement agents who pursue undocumented immigrants, playing on the dual meaning of alien: The alien hunters raided the factory at dawn.
