All (38) Types Of Yautjas (Predators) - Backstories/Species Explored

What began as a 1987 thriller film has now expanded into a film franchise, video games, comics, and even novels. The Predator franchise boasts a wide variety of alien species, with its main focus on the titular hunting species, the Yautjas. The Yautjas or Predators are apex hunters hailing from the planet of Yautja Prime, situated in the far reaches of the galaxy. Their purpose in life is to hunt, and their motto is ‘the deadlier the prey, the greater the honor’. These hunters are not interested in sickly or easy prey. They look for battle-hardened warriors from different species or other deadly predatory species to hunt and collect their heads and spines as trophies. Even though they seem single-minded, there is more than enough variation within this species to warrant further examination.

still cant get over the genius writing that is, "this fugitive predator has come to help humans and stop predators from killing them. The first thing he does on his mission is slaughter a room full of humans." Such a great movie...

It's still incredible to me how perfect the original Predator design was

[tychodragon]

Predators will always have a standard to live up to because there is so much lore and so many good sources to draw from.

Predator 2 was such a fun movie. I thought it was about as good as the original movie was, and really felt like the perfect sequel we all wanted.

The ideal hunters in my personal opinion that I feel would instantly reign amongst the most superior would be Wolf, Jungle Hunter and Scar, in that particular order. If Wolf ever had the opportunity to be the leaders of Jungle Hunter and Scar, the trio would be an unstoppable force, just for the fact Wolf was an elite who had the accolades under his belt to back it up quite literally. Jungle Hunter was already a skilled and powerful hunter in his own right, so I feel he definitely would’ve picked up on some of Wolfs more advanced methods and quickly climb up the skill ladder to an elite himself. Then ofcourse young Scar would have been definitely blessed to have 2 powerhouse instructors to show him how its done, as he already had the guts and skill but lacked direction and focus imo. And plus, what makes them the strongest and most ideal team that never was is their strict honor the Yautja code. These 3 would undoubtedly have been a force to be reckon with, succeeding hunt after hunt!

There was a 90's line of Aliens vs Predator toys before the movies ever came out that featured several different types of Xenomorphs and Yautjas. My brother collected some of the xenomorphs while I collected some of the yautjas. There was a few I remember right off, such as the Tusk Warrior, a predator that ended up growing tusks on the side of its face.

Classic predator is just looks so damn real out of all the predators on film.

im so obsessed with the idea of an open galaxy predator game like no mans sky where you can fly around to different planets and hunt shit. But have an actual story underpinning it. With slight rpg elements to craft and upgrade different weapons and armor stylings. I just think concrete jungle was too ahead for its time and studios gave up on trying to make a pred game that isnt about deathmatch multiplyer shit. This character has so much potential it just needs the right focus. I'm so itchy for the right predator experience to play.

I had no idea Predators had such deep lore, awesome video!

[timfrey]

I would have enjoyed this more if it was ordered differently. You switch between different kinds and then go back to the same one. You should have started with the origin stories, then the young ones training, then the trials, and so on going up the ranks to the strongest, then after the king, going to the non typical like bad bloods and exiled.

So I'm somewhat new to this predator stuff and doing a deep dive into learning about it and the more I do the more I hope a tv series starts up. Feel like that would be awesome!!!

2:39 is the Yautja known as Prince is from Alien Vs. Predator 2 (2001) while the Yautja we play as in Alien Vs. Predator (2010) is known as Dark, he is the one who claims Lord's mask in the campaign, Lord also happens to be Dark's ancestor.

The original 1987 Predator will always be the greatest.

I love the machiko nagucci/human predator storyline.
Fire and stone was fire

[nicholasmorsovillo]

We saw something similar to a Predator Council was at the end of Predator 2 the Predators that Danny Glover's character encountered inside the Predator Ship underneath the city of Los Angeles and the leader gave him an old gun from 1715 before the creatures left in spectacular fashion.

[commissaryarrick]

We need a predator vs engineer movie . Maybe they could fight over possession of earth . That way humans can be caught in the middle . Throw some xenomorphs in too and you got a wild movie

[damianstarks]

Predator is the shit I can’t thank you enough for this video.

[Gravedigger]

I remember having a Jungle Predator action figure as a kid. It was one of my favorite toys form on of my favorite movies.

[rfcfanj]
