Predator

The Predator, or Yautja, is the iconic extraterrestrial species featured in the Predator and Alien vs. Predator science fiction franchises. Known for their relentless pursuit of challenging prey, the Yautja engage in trophy hunting as a rite of passage and a display of prowess. They are a nomadic species, living in tribal societies yet possessing highly advanced technology tailored to their hunts.

Equipped with cloaking devices, thermal vision, plasma weaponry, and razor-sharp blades, the Predators stalk their prey with precision before striking and claiming a trophy—often the skull or spine—ritualistically. Their hunts follow a strict code of honor, targeting only creatures they deem worthy adversaries, such as skilled warriors or dangerous species.
