Yautja Predator
The Predator (also known as Yautja (pronounced /jəˈuːtʃə/)[Ya-OOT-ja] is the titular extraterrestrial species featured in the Predator science fiction franchise, characterized by its trophy hunting of other species for sport. First introduced in the film of the same name, the creatures returned in the sequels Predator 2 (1990), Predators (2010) and The Predator (2018) (the latter two of which introducing the rival clan of Hish-Qu-Ten), and the prequel Prey (2022), as well as the crossover films Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007).
The Predator has been the subject of numerous novels, video games and comic books, both on their own and as part of the Alien vs. Predator crossover imprint. The species have been called Predators and Hunters in the movies, while Yautja,[2] and Hish-qu-Ten[3] have been alternatively used in the expanded universe. Created by brothers Jim and John Thomas, the Predators are depicted as large, sapient and sentient humanoid creatures who possess advanced technology, such as active camouflage, directed-energy weapons, and interstellar travel. Both the Yautja and the Hish-Qu-Ten compete for a chance to enter the ritual of becoming "Blooded", a rank given to predators that have killed prey that has been deemed worthy, as well as select humans, in particular Lex Woods and Machiko Noguchi.
