All about the Predator species (Yautja) from across the various movies, games, and novelisations, their physical biology from their mandibles, dreadlocks, green blood, as well as their culture and lore like the honour code, and trophies, as well as their home planet, Yautja Prime
From the jungle hunter from predator 1987 to the wolf predator from AVPR to the super predators from predators to the feral predator from prey

I said it a million times HBO should make a series about the predator planet and culture. They should show the training, rituals, and hierarchy. No English, subtitles are fine. The only human character that speaks English is the Japanese girl that they accepted into the clan and made her an honorary warrior and trained her.
Disney owns Aliens-Predators so HBO cannot touch it
@@BBoy_PopTart I know, but Disney is tanking and should sell the rights
@@tfchin 100%
@@BBoy_PopTart remember "Apocalyptco", directed by Mel Gibson....it needs to along the lines of that. it needs to be always shot in some kind of war aspect, by a war director, since the species is a warrior race. It can't have any Disney aspects. It needs to be hard and gritty. No English. The culture of the clan should be emphasized.
As the seasons progress, introduce the xenomorphs. But I really do think season one should include the one only human that was allowed to join the clan. They should showcase what it takes to be accepted into a yajua clan
This is the best Predator explanation on internet. Period.
This Period. stuff sounds so condescending and full of itself. We dont know, because theres so much content, i bet my house you havent seen half of it
Best sci fi species ever, along with the xenomorphs. They both deserve so much more justice in movies and video games and media in general.
So much wasted potential
Vulcans? Romulans?
The Thing beats them both.
The Xenomorphs were mishandled so incredibly bad by the 2nd movie "Aliens" that just reduced them to insects. Yet people who _claim_ to be Alien fans, love that movie not realizing it is actually the absolute *worst* Alien movie by light years. On its own, its a great action movie. But James Cameron just wanted to make a Starship Troopers movie, which essentially what he did, turning the Lovecraftian Xenomorphs into an insect like creature, utterly ruining them. James Cameron is a terrible director. Yes, I know, Terminator 2, yada yada.
I agree 100%
The only gripe I have with yautja lore is there's essentially nothing about engineers, shipmakers, their spacecraft manufacturing, maintenance - like, where'd their spacefaring tech come from, was it bestowed up them or their own discovery? Do tribes & clans build their spacecraft or do they go to a predator spacecraft dealership? Stuff like that, predator technology, would be fun to explore even in a movie imo
The tech is stolen from their enslavers, after over throwing them in an uprise the species adopted the oppressors culture and became "Predators" themselves. They enslaved the oppressors, which handle all thier tech and ship work. So much potential to be expanded on.
Now u got me thinking ov a sleazy used space ship sales predator haha
Yup. Same as Klingons, although they have shown non-warriors in Trek they're generally not spoken much of.
I agree! I did create a badass OC that is a brilliant mechanic. But also a warrior too.
Nerds are thrown to the side in a jock culture.
Gotta say. I like how you described why they picked green for the movie and without skipping a beat explain how his blood CAN be green with scientific theories. A+ Digging it.
It would take a really talented director to make a movie about predator lore with predator as a main character
One thing that I have never seen discussed is how the Yautja develop their technology. As they have tech far superior to what we have available to us it would make sense that they would have not only a written language, but also advanced mathematical equations. It could be that the Yautja enslave a race of beings that are the brains behind the technology, but I prefer the image of Yautja nerds dressed in lab coats, thick glasses, and pocket protectors working hard over a hot Bunson burner.
This is a great question too, hopefully it’s answered. My guess is it has something to do with the engineers maybe…
Actually it was an insectoid race that had enslaved the Yautja that were extremely advanced. The predators overtook their slavers and that's where they get their tech.
@@krazyhorse9596 oh cool. Maybe it sorta explains why the Yautja are arachnid🕷️ /insect looking too in the face
@@krazyhorse9596thats where they got the technology, but where did they get the equipment? Did they steal their ships and blasters or do Yautja have factories that build them?
@@krazyhorse9596I mean reverse engineering more advance tech does show that the Yautja has some high level intelligence.
Pretty sure in og Predator the voice mimicry is achieved with the aliens wrist computer. It’s a heavily advanced piece of kit, able to record and then manipulate for playback.
Yautjas can mimic voices even without the use of a wrist computer or a biomask.
The relative science being used to illustrate the biology of the Yautja Predators is pretty dope fam!! Ooof savage 👹💀
But what about their weiners??
THE BEST MOST INFORMATIVE INFORMATIONAL PREDATOR VIDEO ON KZhead TODAY. and yes, amengi are canon.
The pred-dreds could be more like whiskers on cats!! They are in fact hair but they also let the cat judge the distance between things and how far away objects are from their face and body, with the ability to detect the slightest vibration in the air. Maybe the yautja have something similar going on
I really love these cluster videos of yours this and the weapon 1 hour video are living rent free in my predator info playlist. They are great to just listen to while playing a grindy game or just to listen to some good quality info of your favorite alien species
We need an all out battle movie of all the predators!!!
I wish Disney didnt own Aliens-Predator we are truly restricted from the potential of this universe lore.
Let's steal it back, mateys! Arr! 🏴☠️
Right, they really dont know about sifi movies like these two Alien & Predator
I wasn't looking for this kinda content... but this was freaking awesome man !!! Subscribed 👍
I think they should make a Riddick vs Predator movie,
That would be crazy he comes across their hole planet
Been subscribed for awhile, love the videos. Not sure if you have already but if possible, maybe a video on the military class of predators? Seems pretty interesting. awesome video!
Although the alpha predator lore is not 100%, so is the majority of the lore we have. Some do not even consider xeno lore as part of the cannon. We also have no idea what lore is exclusive to one clan or to all Yautja. Like xenomorphs might not be for every clan. We have seen that the mainline movies take president over books and AVP and will retcon as needed. We see that in Prey, they completely retconed the origin for the pistol.
Oh, thanks for the information. Now I get why that super predator accepted the Yakuza guy's challenge in Predators instead of just blasting him, which ended up in the guy killing the predator
Epic video bro. Thanks.
One of my favorite science fiction species/civilizations. They’re just so cool
This was awesome. It’s good to see other Predator/Yautja fans taking the Predator franchise seriously wanting new films or a series about Predators on their own planet going to other worlds hunting other life forms with no human beings being involved let alone any cheesy Hollywood characters. True fans seriously need a well produced dark series or film following the Yautja’s story and the different clans. It would be awesome.
great content, thanks very much :)
This was very interesting
I wish I have mandibles! Sometimes I need an extra hand. Lol😂 And those dreads are killer and I like the pattern on the city hunter's head!
The Aminghee look like the Prototype Predator that arrived in a box & scrapped after a couple screen tests, giving rise to the Predator we all know & love, so it's great how that was grafted into the Lore.
21:31 really cool that in a recent marvel wolverine vs predator issue, the predator liquifies wolverines face and tried to claim his "corpse" as a trophy. REALLY awesome to see a skullverine escape the ship.
I ask the creator of this video if you had to become one of the species you mentioned which one would you choose and why? Amazing 🤩 video thank you 🙏❤️
My take on the Predator blood was a high concentration of biliverdin and phosphorus, which made it glowing green. The dreadlocks, I thought, served a purpose much like the ears of an elephant; they act as radiators to help the body shed excess heat and might also bear a higher sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. For the homework, I thought the gravity would be lower, allowing for the greater height and lanky build, but their musculature is as dense as Terran reptiles, allowing them their strength.
I personally like the non cannon explanation of how and why the predators have advanced tech.
Have you done a video on the Nexromorphs yet?
What we really need is some of the best predators vs a ton of Xenos. Every AVP the PREDS gets beat more easily than I'd like...altho the Wolf Predator was badass, we need more like him.
The super predators are a lot more massive than the old school version.
You should do some videos on the creature from Primal Rage
Predators are confirmed to not have Morlars. The AvP video game shows the anatomical skulls of both Yautja and xenos. The Predators use voice modulators when they kill Danny Trejo.
In AVP, the one predator seemed to understand what the surviving woman said. He was aiming a spear at her, she told him "Wait!" He did, and she then gave him the gun taken from the pyramid earlier in the movie, saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" (tho there's no sign if he understood that or not) A little later, he starts walking away from her, and she says "I'm coming with you." He rounds on her, but it seems like he understood that because he then makes a weapon for her using parts from the Xenomorph they just killed.
Yay you mentioned Feral predator eating bones via text
Can you make a AVP2 Predalien vs AVP Game Predalien video or Jungle Hunter vs the Fugitive Predator
Cool ideas! Probably one day I will 😊
Wolf&Scar&JH vs Specimen6&Grid&Feral?
WOW!
About the dreadlocks. They do not grow in natural braids. Rather during the coming of age ritual that qualifies young yautja to begin training for their first hunt to become an adult, an agonizing process is used to braid their quills. If the Yautja shows any signs of pain (tears, flinching, wincing ect) all the braids are undone and the process begins again, continuing until they succeed or die.
Where did you learn this?
@@jangolub8240 Dark Horse comics. The process is even shown. It's NOT fun. I do recommend getting your hands on the them though, as they are responsible for much of our current Predator lore. Until Marvel/Disney retcons everything at least, like with the recent Prey movie putting a certain pirate where he didn't belong so the Feral could take his pistol. Bleh.
@@Nightwalker170 thanks man! Happy new year!
The dreads are a trip, in p-1 when the predator followed Dutch into the water the dreads were actually standing on end and continued so after his head came out of the water, like they were sending information back to the predators brain. This could be how it knows where the surface is so perhaps like whiskers they are used environment investigation, in P-2 after Glover shoots the predator with the AR the predator ripped off dread that was damaged off further giving the impression that the dreads have nerves and are used to feel out the environment. Because of the predators eye sight this does seem to hold logic.
Whats with the eye sight?
@@jangolub8240 the predator eyesight is different from ours it doesn’t seem to lean towards acuity but rather infrared, we se details of a environment in good light conditions and upon removing the light we see nothing, they see in infrared meaning light is irrelevant they see temperatures of there surroundings so remove the temperatures of there surrounding and they are blind if all the objects in the environment are of low temperatures they see just dark masses they’re heads are pretty soft so I would imagine cracking it on a sharp rock that they couldn’t see is pretty dangerous, probably why they keep the helmet on most of the time
The predator species was pretty cool, and I liked watching these aliens kill the xenomorphs, especially the face huggers!
I pitched Fox at least a dozen ideas for P3 after BDE, which they dismissed. Oddly enough, late last year I heard a Predator project was being developed for Big Red-- which was one of the many ideas I pitched them. It was called "P3:The Return of Red."
i love prey for me it's the best movie
いつも日本語翻訳の字幕が合って助かっています(*^^*) いつも素晴らしいビデオをありがとう！ 勉強になります😊❤
I hope we see more super predator clans in future movies. 3 types is enough imo.
😎😎 I had an idea for Prey 2 have a yaujta( Maybe another feral predator but more experienced)fight a young Shaka Zulu. Have that yaujta go up against lion, crocodile, and Hyena
Lame. What we need is the back story of the 1718 pistol that was in 2 movies so far. They can expand on how a Yautja defeated the notorious pirate at sea and kept the pistol as a trophy.
@@BBoy_PopTart that's more interesting being honest
@@BBoy_PopTart You know it was already explained in the novel or comics, right? So, no. Btw, Lame comment of yours.
Nice vid on the topic. If it was real, it could be air on Discovery channel :)
People can just watch the movies for the explanation, you should make a video about tic-tac-toe strategies next Squidley...
The Amegei is who im interested in!
Apparently the dreds are braided in an extremely painful process like a coming of age. If the Yautja yells out or makes a lot of noise the process is started again.
We need more content from alien and predator. These two franchises are literal gold mines if Disney adapted some of the story lines from the videogames , comics, as well as orginal storylines they literally could make coin 💰
Disney has ruined enough franchises. There have been enough terrible Predator and Alien movies without Disney even being involved. Disney would only find ways to make it worse.
If it’s owned by Disney, it’s not gonna be good anymore, unless they can pull a miracle out.
For some bizarre reason…I can’t seem to subscribe to your channel. There’s some sort of error when I try. This isn’t the case with other channels, oddly enough
now youve done all the work for Hollywood and marvel, their should be no more horrible mistakes on their end, once the predator franchise was bought by disney and marvel from fox and dark horse comics, it started to get gey....
Well I didn’t think they were Vegetarians 🌱 🌱😅
Interesting thing about them imitating human speech. I think they use it like a bird-call, or like when you see a cat click it's teeth at a bird. They might not even realize they are doing it as it might have been ingrained in their DNA coming from a pure hunter species.
Good video however, probably should proof read scripts better and eliminate redundant and repetitive information. I think you talked about what a bad blood was 5 separate times. Who some super predators names were 4 times, and the enforcers who they were and what they did, atleast twice.
The yautja in contact with a human is a misunderstood specie. For it cannot talk like us. Sometimes we cannot tell if they are aggressive or afraid, they are like wild animals in our planet. We dont know if they are hungry or afraid.
There have only ever been two Predator movies made
An idea for really good movies: Predators vs. Klingons. And Predators vs. Gorns. Why not NY1 do this yet?
Translation: Da 144,000 battle Axes... 🗣️ 📯
We gotta see a Predator movie with no humans with them as the main protagonists. We all watch movies with subtitles or just transition it slowly into English.
In the movie Predators they mimic a character’s voice unless you actually think he was still alive.
The Yautja in Prey would have killed all of them. A little girl doesn't beat Yautja.
They can turn their heat vision on and off.
😮 ive beaten stellaris so many times and ive never built a yuatcha race
❤❤❤
6:08 Sulf-haemoglobinaemia, that's interesting. I expect it's not a safe condition for most Humans, is it?
21:14 you're assuming that the flintlock was a trophy, when I would rather like to believe that there is more of a barter or gifting from a story not told yet
What happens when a Yao'cha is so injured that they know that they're going to die but ask another Yao'cha to put them out of their misery? does the other Yao'cha become a bad blood? or are they cast out like any other Yau'cha who only just kill for sport? I mean, what if they were like close mate that lived and fought beside each other for so long, pretty much like brothers, and one was so injured that he signaled the other to put him out of his misery because he knew that he wasn't going to make it, because they held each other in such high regard and honor, and there was no other choice, that the uninjured one had to follow through with it. It's an interesting dynamic, and yet I still haven't really seen a satisfying answer to this hypothetical situation... yet.
Their teeth don’t click together. The opening in their mouth is what makes the clicking noise. when the predator breathes the opening clicks open and close.
maybe You can put him in a new vs video
Boron, perhaps.
Never occured to me PREDLOCKS😂😂😂
I think they should have kept that feature of the predators being able to speak the human language. If anything I think they should have built on it to wear in later films. They can't completely speak English if they choose to may not be perfect english, but they would be able to speak it. To where you would understand.
So are these decendants of wolf spiders?
👍
oh ok
What's lawrenforcement?
Would you rather be hunted by a Predator or a Terminator?
You could kill a predator with one shotgun blast lol
Yautja, because a Terminator wont stop, where as a Yautja has honor.
@@willhull7713expect for the bad blood, the bad blood is Pure evil. They really show no mercy, even for a frikin kids / baby
Predator.
💘
¿How do they reproduce?
The mouth is very insect/spider like. What if they are a highly evolved form of insect that originated elsewhere in the universe.
In language maybe electronics give off heat and the rest is like brail
I guess everybody's idea of honourable is different.
We need a predator movie where a predator soldier crash lands on earth during the dinosaur period
Screw the haters the predator movies are the greatest... some and the yauhtas or whatever how to spell it they deserve more than hate
The last three were demonstrably sh*t.
@@bigguy7353 allthough thats true i still dont want to hear anybody hating the predators i live in puerto rico and i herd people talking about predator so much and since the last 3 like you said was sh*t then they bad mouthed the movies. Including prey then saying predator is the worst characters in history. Im just saying predator doesnt deserve hate people miss understand the character but the 3 movies were terreble but saying there the worst character because they dont understand the character
Yes, both of them: Predator and Predator 2.
so a predator like skull so was if it a predator skull from a predator🤔🤔
Actually the single blade is called simitar blade
Shame the background music killed it for me
Sci-fi or not your blood has oxygen in it while it's in your body, that is quite literally the very purpose for your blood is to provide oxygen to the body. I remember a similar thing even being taught to me in school saying that we have blue blood and it turns red when it hits oxygen It's always getting oxygen that's what blood is for . And what makes iron red is guess what oxygen It's oxidized iron like rust which can look rather red if it's pure iron
The theory on the dreadlocks that makes the most sense to me is that they serve as motion sensors/detectors, easily able to pick up on even the slightest wind or air displacement, greatly augmenting their already highly attuned senses and proving indispensable in hunting and combat.
So predator BLOOD STANKS TO HIGH HELL. DAMMIT.
I mean if it's sulfur, but sulfur doesn't glow when 😮in contact with air so it might no be that
They look very arachnoid to me.
How smart are the predators are they smarter than humans If they got the tech from the amangi how did they learn this tech who did teach them??
(So In The Year-(1987)-(Stan/Special/Effects/Wizard-Winston)-Just Happen To Have A By Chance Run In Meeting With His Long Time Best Friend Director-(James-Cameron)-While Both Of Them Were Just Happen To Be Flying Together On The Same Airplane Flight To Japan And It Was During This Flight That Stan Winston Was Working On Some Of His Concept Art For The First Predator Movie And While Stan Was Trying To Decide What The Predator Should Look Like James Cameron Makes Some Suggestions To Stan About Adding Some Mandibles To The Predator's Face And Thus An Entirely New Franchise Was Born And I Don't Think James Cameron Ever Made Dime Off Of Any Of It Amazing 😂😂😂😂).
Is there a vampire
The Predator from Prey was the Down Syndrome Predator. It's look and actions all point to it being a short bus version of the Predators. From paying no attention to its surroundings and it's attacks are weak with far weaker weapons. If they can master light speed travel then the weapons should be better.
Yautja deliberately use weaker weapons to make the hunt a challenge and give their prey a sporting chance. They're not hunting to harvest something through efficient killing, they're hunting because they enjoy it, and because it's a cornerstone of their culture to do so. An honorable fight, to them, is more important than winning in this instance. If they wanted to win they have shoulder-mounted plasma cannons that could glass city blocks, but the one sent to Earth in Prey was a young inexperienced hunter sent to be blooded in a fresh killing ground and bring back trophies to prove his mettle against humanity.
Predator rules Xbox4life All Hail Predator
It's truly unbelievable, talking about Predictors as if they really exist.😅
