13 Mind-Bending Facts About Yautja (Predator) Anatomy - Do They Generate Limbs? Are They Polyamorous

[@countspankulots4024]

I'm dying for a triple A RPG yautja game. You start off by designing the physical look of your character. The game begins with you as an unblooded. You hunt native fauna to create some pretty basic clothing/armour using bone, skins and fur. You do a few hunts with other unblooded, upgrading yourself. Finally, after developing and building yourself up you go off-world to hunt a xenomorph and become blooded. As the game continues, you rise in rank while growing stronger and gaining better equipment. After awhile you get your own ship and lead hunting parties. As the game progresses you rise through the ranks. You go to various planets and hunt different species. It could even feature a multiplayer aspect with space battles or hunting and stalking the yautja of other players on various planets. You could even team up with them to clear out a xeno hive or take down a queen.

[@deadman9335]

I actually would like to see this, also if you make unhonorable kills, you could have a honor meter that would make you a bad blood marking you for other players to hunt you down.

[@craigbosko2229]

Can you name some other badass creatures besides the Yautja

[@ChristianSepulveda-bp6ls]

Some Yautja do use prosthetic limbs (As shown in the recent Predator: Hunting grounds update and a few Neca toys and Predator comics) But they don't like to overdo it, seeing it as unnatural in nature. I forgot the name of a Bad Blood Yautja who uses cybernetics, but he uses a lot of them, changing an entire arm, eye, and a few other things that I forgot to better himself in his hunting/ fighting skills. Also, there is such a thing as marriage/mating for life as shown by the Widow clan, a clan of female Yautja that lost their spouses and never mated/remarried.

[@micahrutland991]

In the comic mini-series Batman vs Predator 3, the Predator that fights Batman has a Robotic/prosthetic forearm/hand.

[@Trendkill213]

In the Predator 2 novel it states that he would get a new arm grafted on when he returns to the home planet. This is in reference to the apartment bathroom scene where he cauterized his wound. Maybe it depends on the severity of the wound and or how much of damaged limb is still intact.

[@misanthrope22]

Given that they’re hot-weather creatures, I would assume it’s for thermoregulation

[@gordondavis6168]

My theory is that the dreadlocks are very sensitive sensory organs that provide a sense of balance and kinesthesia (body position). This would be needed as in the original movie the Predator was shown to be very arboreal and jumping from tree to tree. The dreadlocks also serve as ears as the hairs of the dreadlocks vibrate in response to sound. The Predators need a hearing organ as they don’t have human-like ears.

[@handledis]

Idk that sounds op but tru

[@HAL1138]

I’ve always seen the dreadlocks as highly evolved whiskers. A cats whiskers give them balance, position, and size (spatial width) information at all times. If something as evolved as the Predator grew with this trait you could imagine them becoming highly sensitive appendages with even more sensory ability.

[@IceSick90]

right. I agree. they must be a type of sensory organ. Senses we may not have ourselves

[@monster_fiz_the_story_lover]

I believe that the reason yautja love to hunt human is because they see us as worthy species. I dont care about some of the old comic and novel telling they despise us because for me, is very opposite, they respect us as worthy prey. For them, we are prey that able to hunt back its predator, we hunt lion, tiger, shark, conquering the sea, mountain, and the whole planet itself despite lacking in psyhical strenght but we prove to be powerful and stronger that what it seen, we are apex predator just like them, and that reason alone is enough for them to respect humanity as both apex species aswell a worthy prey.

[@NingenKaijin2006]

And for the xenomorph, they species act like animal / insect. The xenomorph and the animals use instinct to think, while we the human species and the yautja species, use logic to think.

[@predaking1186]

In a sense if you're counting Predator hunting grounds as lore you should remember the bionic Predator who uses bionic limbs and pieces too replace its severed limbs and body parts. Predators usually wouldn't want to make with humans because they don't share the attractiveness of the scent if humans had this they would probably be more attractive, and we've never seen a predator and human mate before but even if they're aliens they have 50% of our DNA. Lastly thanks for the video.

[@Sharkaholic1]

They have 50% of our dna? I thought that was only that one specific predator in that movie

[@predaking1186]

@@Sharkaholic1 I don't really know, because that was the only movie where they really got to study a predator but also the predators have been coming to Earth for thousands of years. For some strange reason they keep coming to Earth more often than any other planet to hunt?

[@warchiefvenomn7612]

​@@predaking1186 We don't know if that is true. We do know they hunt all across the universe, not just here. We see this on the comics, games and more. The whole "mixing" of DNA is done by badblood clans. Genetically upgrading yourself is against the code of honor, so only a small section of the Yautja have DNA close to the human or other species as that Is a very taboo practice on their society.

The old special effects from the 80s look at least 5 times better than the very best CGI. You can't change my mind. The last 3 outings have been the worst but having been this far down the legacy chain, makes them the most embarrassing. The largest budgets too.

[@blackc1479]

Gotta at least partially disagree, I rather liked predators, even if it changed a lot of the lore. We do not speak of the predator. And honestly prey was nowhere near as bad as expected. Yeah, it had some bits that ranged from Ill conceived to total WTF, but it also had some rather decent moments. But yeah, in general the physical effects will always look so much better. It's also a shame that as far as I know, noones spending enough to merge them into practical shots, instead of ditching physical entirely for cgi.

Female and Male predators don't hunt together. I don't know if it's still cannon, but female predators are bigger and stronger than the males.

It is a small chance of cross breeding between human/yautja relationship. Alittle bit of genetic tranference and binjo. Some humans in the books have used dna and genetic surgery to basically because in small part, compatible. Abit macabre, but possible

[@AndreaAdams-c6s]

I'd love to try it the old fashioned way...mmmmm I'd make it with a Predator...anytime❤

[@Nightwalker170]

A Yautja's quills are braided as part of their coming-of-age ceremony, before they are allowed to begin the training to be allowed to hunt a xenomorph and become an adult. (They are not allowed to breed until they've killed one). The process is agonizing and if at any point they show any signs of pain the braids are undone and the ritual is started from scratch. Thus, their dreadlocks are a source of pride, and the longer they are the greater the status the individual holds.

(9:00) Actually... there is definitely evidence of a Predator from some comic or graphic novel, I have a figure of this Predator that proves it, though I can't remember his name off the top of my head it is on the box, who used cybernetic limbs/organs. And this Predator was said to PURPOSELY replace his limbs, even an eye, with cybernetic versions considering them upgrades. He even literally swapped out what was his right eye for a cybernetic system which then acted as the tri-laser aiming system for his shoulder cannon.

[@nicknitro86]

Female yautja mostly stay on yautja prime, think in a hunter-gatherer society, they primarily are the gatherers and take care of their tribes and children while the males hunt. There are some occasions where female yautja are hunters, but most of the hunters are male. ---- 2018...no. They actually abhore things like gene splicing. It goes against their code of honor.

[@samiamtheman7379]

I guess something one could guess is that their medical technology is pretty good. In Aliens media, Xenomorph embryos were shown to be exceptionally difficult to remove without killing the host whilst Scar in AVP didn't seem all too concerned and continued on with his hunt. For them, it could be seen as an embarrassing screwup, but not an unfixable one.

[@espada9000]

[@mohammadsattar5488]

I've asked this before but how exactly does a predator make their intricate weapons with their big fat fingers and their long fingernails ??

[@blackc1479]

Maybe a hyperaggressive uber Chad taung. They were a warrior culture, but it was also practical expansion. The yautja don't seem to care so much about things like that. They seem to have their territory, but aren't numerous enough to need an empire or even recognize the idea of political identity. They just want places to hunt. They seem to only pay attention to things that bear on that.
