In "The Most Dangerous Game," General Zaroff believes the perfect prey should possess courage, resourcefulness, and intelligence to make the hunt challenging and fulfilling for him.
Zaroff keeps his prey in his fancy-schmancy trophy room, like some kind of twisted big game hunter. He probably struts around in there, admiring his collection of poor souls like they're some kind of macabre art exhibit. It's like a horror version of a man cave, but with more screams and less beer.

General Zaroff proposes a hunt, but only the General will be hunting because Rainsford will be his prey.
It is ironic that General Zaroff, who prides himself on being the ultimate hunter, becomes the hunted when Rainsford turns the tables on him. General Zaroff's belief in his superiority as a hunter is challenged when he becomes the prey in the deadly game he created. This irony highlights the theme of karma and poetic justice in the story.
In the story, 'The Most Dangerous Game', Zaroff's island is also called 'Ship Trap' island. This is the case because Zaroff is responsible for shipwrecking men, so he can later hunt them down as prey.
Zaroff thinks Rainsford hasn't played the "game" because he chooses to evade and fight Zaroff rather than be the prey like the previous victims. Zaroff believes Rainsford is cheating the rules of the game by not playing along with the designated roles of hunter and prey.
Zaroff became bored with his prey. He was looking for prey that would challenge his skills. He feels he is all too powerful for the weak birds and lions that he usually hunts.
Rainsford's horror and refusal when Zaroff introduces his "game" of hunting humans on his island best reveals that Rainsford opposes Zaroff's idea of the ideal prey. Rainsford's moral objection to hunting humans for sport contrasts sharply with Zaroff's belief that they are the ultimate challenge.
General Zaroff wants to hunt Rainsford on his private island for sport. He sees Rainsford as a worthy prey due to his reputation as a skilled hunter. Zaroff enjoys the challenge of hunting someone who can match his own abilities.
