ALL Predator Types Explained

In today’s video, I’ll explain all predator types that exist in the extended predator universe, covering the ranking system and other aspects of the yautja society.

1. The Primitive Proto-Predator is a precursor of the classic predator that is briefly mentioned in the comic book Predator: Homeworld.

2. The ancient elder predator appears to be the intermediate link between the proto predator and the classic predator.

3. The classic predator is the iconic Yautja creature that first appears in the predator of 1987. Yautjas are about 7 and a half feet tall and are equipped with advanced weapon technology including bio helmet, Chameleon field cloak, ultra-sharp wrist blades, wrist computer and the plasma cannon which is an energy projector with the auto-aim technology. Predators have reptilian skin, infared vision, mandibles and dreadlocks that are speculated to be sensory organ.
Yautja society and culture is centered around the ritualistic hunt of dangerous species. Hunting xenomorphs occupies a special place in the predator world because of the rivalry between these species and the extraordinary hostility of xenomorphs which makes hunting them even more prestigious.

4. Un-Blooded Yautjas are the lowest cast in the predator hierarchy that includes those who are unexperienced in hunting and have not killed any xenomorphs .

5. Young Blood is the next yautja rank that consists of grown predators who haven’t killed their first xenomorph. In Alien vs Predator of 2004, we witness 3 young blood predators who engage in a battle with xenomorphs on their own for the first time in order to get their Blooded status.

6. Blooded predators is the next rank in the yautja hierarchy, which consists of predators who have gotten their first xenomorph kill and are now considered rightful members of their clan.

7. Once a blooded yautja killed enough exceptionally dangerous species and managed to survive, he’s allowed to joint the ranks of Elite predators who are considered the most skilled and dangerous wariors.

8. The Predalien is a xenomorph hybrid spawned from a predator host. A yautja that was impregnated with an alien embryo would spawn a xenomorph/predator hybrid.

9. The Elder is another rank in the yautja society. Elders rise from the rank of Elites for their unique collections of trophies and exceptional accomplishments in hunting and leadership.

10. The Clan Leader is one of the highest ranks in the yautja hierarchy. Elder predators can either challenge a current clan leader or be selected by their peers to this position.

11. Ancient is a cast of yautja that is comprised of individuals who lived over 1000 years surviving numerous hunts and battles.

12. Bad blood on the other hand are predators who severely violated the code of honour and were either banished or escaped from their clan to avoid the punishment.

13. The Enforcer is a special rank that consists of predators who are tasked to hunt not the most vicious alien organisms but the most notable bad bloods.

14. Berserkers or Superpredators is a clan of yautja which is believed to be comprised of bad bloods. Berserkers ruled the Game Preserve Planet and were notorious for abducting lifeforms from other worlds and carrying them to their planet in order to hunt them.

15. The Female predator is a rare type of yautja and there were only a few female specimen in the comics. The Matriarch is the title that a female yautja can hold which is the equivalent of a Clan Leader.

16. Predator King. Although yautja society is divided in clans, and the exact way clans can cooperate remains a mystery, Predator Kalakta was considered an equivalent of the leader of yautja race.

17. The Infected Predator is the yautja specimen that mutated as the result of the contact with the black goo in Fire and Stone comics.

18. The white hybrid is a yautja type from the comics created by a malfunctioned AI that combined DNA of humans, Xenomorphs and yautcha.

19. The Fugitive Predator is a yautja /human hybrid that appears in the Predator of 2018.

20. The four armed predator is a huge yautja specimen with increased strength and durability that appeared in the comic book predators surviving life.

21. The Hish-qu-Ten is the alternative Dark Horse representation of the yautja species that slightly differers from regular predators in terms of their appearance and honour system.

22. Alpha Predator is a special predator of the Hish-qu-Ten race who led the rebellion agains the Amengi, an insectoid race that tyranicly ruled over Hish-qu-Ten yautja.

23. Upgrade Predator is a genetically engineered hybrid designed to be the most powerful and deadly predator specimen.

24. Predator killer
The Predator killer is an advanced mechanical suit made with the predator technology and designed to be operated by a host.

I really wish Netflix would get permission for an R-rated Yautja series that goes deep into their culture and lore as well as what their daily life is like.

I'd love to see a predator movie or series with the Predator as the main character. Following him as a young unblooded to a seasoned Elite Predator.

[lepotato]

I like that I felt flattered when I noticed the Predators keeping Human Skulls as trophies. It's just such an honour to see that they think we're so formidable. It's only because of this channel that I have so much respect for this fictional species lol.

[amaankhan]

You've made me fall in love with alien Universe and its infinite possibilities...thank you kroft

[jlo]

@7:00 you can see Wolverine's hand...Cyclope's head and Batman's skulls

[nicholaschase]

I love how respectable they made the Yautja. I don’t have much knowledge on the predator species as a whole but they seem to be incredibly honorable and maintain an elite warrior raise by advancing only those who show skill in hunting and combat. Super cool stuff. I wonder if they’d take offense to a human claiming the skull of a blooded predator that was defeated?

[BigggHead]

Don’t stop! I always fall asleep to your playlists! The information, your voice, and choice of music soothes me all the time! Peace be with you, brother!

In Memory of Kevin Peter Hall who embodied the original PREDATOR from the classic Schwarzennegger Film (1987) 🎥 and it's sequel (1990).

Still missed after 31 years 😢🙏
1955 - 1991

[baxydriver]

Missed you Kroft! Love your alien universe vids.!

[films-LaCroix]

Whooo! He’s back baby!! Thank you so much it might not seem like it but you have made an impact of some degree on my life.. thank you keep it up.

[Wyvern]

We need more good standalone predator movies to establish their lore and things like the alien series. I love the yautja but there’s nothing beyond them in their movies.

[docholloway]

Kroft's voice and signature tune are so relaxing, I often zone out completely and have to rewind the previous 5 minutes 😄.

Great vids mate, keep up the good work!

Here’s my theory for Kalakta being a king. I think because he’s an ancient predator and the fact that he has a very high and prestigious reputation, most or some of the clans and maybe even the other elders unanimously looked up the Kalakta as their one leader. He probably wasn’t an official king, but just treated as one

[greymannemo]

I always kinda liked the idea that there was a war between species, with one side creating xenomorphs as a bio weapon, and the other side selectively breading to create predators to combat them

[cobian]

Can y’all just imagine how much time & research did it take him to do, so he can make this video for us !? 👍👏👏

[TisMeArm]

Kroft is back! So so happy to see you're still making videos. Please keep making more videos, they're really fun and very informative!

[markheitman]

It is amazing to have you back my friend. Your voice and music bring ultimate peace. Thank you

[arthur]

I missed your content so much! It's really nice to see your content again man. Gold as always!

[Gg]

A Predator game where all of the culture is explained and you just travel the universe collecting trophies would be amazing. Would be cool to move up in ranks as you battle more foes. A fighting system like the one in the Arkham games would be so cool

[MasterDayTrader]

Definitely a great attempt to depict, categorize, and convey the convoluted Predator lore.
