Connor hunting an elk

Hunting is the practice of tracking and killing wildlife for various purposes, such as the collection of meat or skins.

The Assassin Edward Kenway hunted animals, including whales and sharks, during his adventures in the Caribbean.[1]

Edward's grandson, Ratonhnhaké:ton hunted animals similarly to assassination targets, tracking and trapping several kinds that he encountered across the Frontier.[2]

Though animals could be hunted in a variety of ways, the quality of the kill affected the price one could fetch for the skin. For an animal killed with a single strike from a bow or blade, the skin had a higher economic value, since bullets from a firearm or the rope dart would damage the pelt.[2]

Hunting was both a lifestyle and a sport in the Frontier, so much so that the Hunting Society was one of the many factions during the American Revolutionary War. The club would invite skilled hunters such as Ratonhnhaké:ton to join their ranks, and would commonly request them to hunt rare animals.[2]

Criticism of whaling

After the feature was confirmed, PETA issued a statement condemning Black Flag as "disgraceful" as it "glorified" whaling.[3]

A Ubisoft spokesperson provided the following response to IGN.

"History is our playground in Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a work of fiction that depicts the real events during the Golden Era of Pirates. We do not condone illegal whaling, just as we don't condone a pirate lifestyle of poor hygiene, plundering, hijacking ships, and over the legal limit drunken debauchery."[4]

Trivia

  • If a predator killed another animal, that animal could not be skinned; however if another character killed an animal, it could be skinned, though the spoils would be damaged.
  • When Ratonhnhaké:ton skinned an animal, he knelt next to the carcass and said Niá:wen, which translates into  "Thank you" in Kanien'kehá:ka language, as a way of showing respect to nature for spoils of the hunt.
