While he's a loyal friend to Spyro and is knowledgeable about basic tasks (e.g., jumping), he has trouble grasping the gravity of Spyro's missions. Hunter is a laid-back, physically talented, and somewhat gullible character. He is wearing his bow and quiver gear with straps in the second game, just like in A Hero's Tail and wears additional protective gear in the skateboard parks of the third game, including a helmet and knee pads along with his blue jeans. In the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Hunter now much more closely resembles an actual cheetah as far as fur patterns, and proportions go. This design would serve as the basis for his appearance in the Crash and Spyro Fusion duology, as well as Shadow Legacy.

His former arm brace is gone, and his staple attire now consists of a green brace on his left forearm, a green sash, a quiver filled with arrows, and his bow. Claws have been added to his fingertips and toes. His underbelly has been further extended down past his groin, as well. His tail has also been made more cat-like and has yellow, black and white stripes on it. Additionally, his underbelly, paws, and chin have all been made white to reflect the colors of real life cheetahs better. His fur was made a brighter yellow, and his spots redefined as a solid black or dark brown. In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, Hunter had his design overhauled sufficiently. This design would be the basis for Hunter's appearance in the trilogy of Gameboy Advance titles in the series. His eyebrows are tan, his underbelly (also tan) extends up to his neck, and his goatee matches his base fur coat.

He is noticeably chubbier, and his hands and feet have fully modeled digits.

In Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, Hunter mostly retains the same basic design as he did in the previous two games however his model is more detailed. He occasionally appears wearing different clothing, including scuba gear, large shorts, and a wingsuit among others.

Interestingly, he has some sort of brace or clad piece on his right bicep that he is seldom seen without. In Spyro 2 and 3, Hunter is a bright orange color with brown spots all over his coat, as well as a bright yellow underbelly and goatee, and lighter orange on his paws, he also has somewhat prominent brown eyebrows, as well as bright blue eyes. Hunter is a tall anthropomorphic cheetah, though, in the original PS1 trilogy, his fur color and patterns more closely resemble those of leopards.
