One hostile to their own herd, not others; one hostile to other herds, not their own; one hostile to both their own herd and others; and one hostile to neither their own herd nor others.

And how is a person hostile to their own herd, not others? It’s when a person intimidates their own followers, not the followers of others. That’s how a person is hostile to their own herd, not others. That person is like an ox that’s hostile to its own herd, not others.
