#predator #yautja #prey

After the recent release of the smash hit Prey, the newest entry in the Predator universe, I became obsessed with the Predators or Yautja. In my obsession, I of course, wanted to know which predator is the top dog. For this video, I’ve reached out to my friend and Predator expert, TheChadChamp who will be helping us out. We will be taking a close look at all the Major predators depicted in the film series to determine which is the deadliest. Unlike my other power scaling videos, this is not meant to determine who is the physically strongest or most powerful predator, but which one is the greatest at what predators do best, hunt. While the two Alien vs Predator films are no longer considered canon, I will be including the predators from those films as well as much of the lore established there that doesn’t contradict the current canon as those films do a lot of heavy lifting in the lore department.

But before we start talking about individual Predators, it’s important that you understand the Yautja. The Yautja are Apex Predators who hail from their home planet of Yautja Prime. The primary goal of all Yautja is to become an honored member of their species - and to do that, they must hunt the deadliest prey in the universe.

Predators are bipedal humanoids, physically distinguishable from humans by their greater height, the long, hair-like appendages on their heads (nicknamed dreadlocks), their reptilian skin and their faces, which feature arthropod-like mandibles and no visible nose. The biological purpose of the distinctive mandibles is unclear – some have proposed they may be used in reproduction or mating rituals. They may also be a vestigial piece of anatomy, as noted by Lex Woods, who compares it to the human appendix. Yautja use them to convey emotions; for example, flared mandibles apparently signify anger or surprise, mandibles clicking together can signify interest or curiosity, and Yautja have even been said to "grin" with them. Predators have also been known to employ their mandibles as weapons, using them to inflict grievous bite wounds on their opponent. As well as the fleshy dreadlocks around the side of the head, some Predators have also been seen to possess sparse, quills on their cheeks and above the eyes.

The Classic Predator and its chest quills.

While generally uniform, each Yautja's physical appearance includes a number of subtle variations, akin to human genetic diversity. Similarly, while Predator heights vary, they are typically over 7 feet tall, although some have been known to grow to 8 feet or even taller. Despite this, shorter individuals have been recorded, such as Mahnde or the aptly-named Shorty, who stood the height of a typical human. These individuals are unusual and their smaller height the subject of ridicule in Yautja society. The species' reptile-like skin can range in color from light to dark, be mottled or clear, and can appear dry or moist and clammy.

Sources on what species class Yautja's are the most adjacent to vary, however many note that they have reptilian characteristics that may be more than superficial. Along with scaley skin, their armor features a wire mesh designed to keep the wearer warm; it is noted to be very uncomfortable for humans, even at the lowest setting. However, some Yautja do not have this mesh and it may not be that Yautja's are reptilian, per se, but rather that they are simulating the environment of their homeworlds which are said to be arid.

Yautja are a dual-sexed species, though most encounters with humans have been with male individuals. The species has a breeding season, in which female Yautjas will choose the most skillful males to sire their offspring. Presumably, males return to their homeworlds for this event as females do not go off-world as much as males or for the same reasons. Young Yautja, called Sucklings, are born to females after an unknown amount of time. Females are shown to have mammary glands and Dachande was able to recognize them for what they were in humans, which would suggest Yautja are somewhat mammalian in addition to having repitilian traits. Young Yautja appear to be born live; there has been no evidence that they are hatched from any kind of egg.

Which Predator and Predator Movie are your favorites?

[biggsducklighter]

In defense of Wolf, by the time he fought the Predalien he was tired, injured, had been killing Xenos left and right, and had lost most of his weapons. He would've beaten the Predalien earlier if she didn't keep running away. Only time we've seen a Xeno retreating onscreen. I think he could take a standard Queen in better circumstances.

[jackbelmont]

My favourite is Wolf from AVP 2. that savage went solo to contain an alien outbreak while also disposing any evidence and chasing the predalien. The feral predator is close in second.

[freddymyers]

Wolf pretty much eliminated an entire hive of xenos. Upheld the honor code perfectly throughout the entire process. Didn't even look like he was slightly in trouble throughout at any point until the Predalien stalemate. He went in solo to do a huge job, backed down from nothing, kept focus, stayed on point, and made it look like a day at the office. There's no debate. Second place is where it can get tricky, mainly because of the unknowns of Grayback. And Berserker is kind of hard to judge because he doesn't really uphold the honor code. Wolf is the legend among legends, it's just unfortunate he had to be surrounded by a disappointing movie.

[lhvk]

Wolf did not just stalemate the Predalien, he stalemated it BARE HANDED, after exhausting all of his arsenal by soloing and cleared almost the entire Hive of Xeno in the city by himself alone, while also upheld his code and try to remove all the traces of Xeno on Earth. If Wolf still had most of his weaponry he'd have made that Predalien his breakfast easily. Not to mention, the Predalien did flee from him multiple time despite ambushing him with multiple other Xenos, and consider the fact that Predalien is the mixed of both Xeno and Yauja, something never seen before, which proceed to kill the whole Yauja ship when it just appeared, I'd say it's the most dangerous Xeno ever, way more dangerous than the Queen, making Wolf's feat far stronger than any Yauja's feat we've seen, he's definitely take this here.

[GLAPostalService]

On a side note.
In Predators (2010), I’m glad that despite being a bad blooded Yautja. The Falconer predator was still willing to provide a fair fight against Hanzo with his katana.

[commanderclown]

I'm definitely giving it to wolf. He was absolutely dog walking an entire xeno hive and only fought the predalien after killing a bunch of other xenos. We know all of the circumstances of his showdown with the predalien, and they certainly weren't very good for him, yet he still managed to stalemate it in a close quarters fight with pretty much none of his weaponry. For the other elites and Greyback though, we have 0 context for their victories against xeno queens. Also the original film is still easily the best.

[Daz]

If only we had more info on Lost, the dude literally got bored of hunting sentient life and started targeting upgraded AI - that's kind of nuts if you think about it. He didn't care about rank, he just wanted to hunt smarter and more powerful prey from what we briefly know of him. For Greyback not to oppose that decision, probably gives you an idea of how much respect he has for Lost.

[Zenovii-senpai]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the Feral Predator kept breaking parts of the Yautja honor code. When he cloaked on the brother of the main girl, and stabbed him in the back that's what made me think he was a bad blood left on the planet. It would also explain why most of his equipment was more primitive. I imagine a blooded being stripped of their plasma caster is a major dishonor.

[deletekeys]

If xenomorphs are the ultimate prey and they mixed with the ultimate hunter causing a predalien, which wolf had stalemated with up until the bomb fell….I’d say Wolf has the most impressive feats and is top predator based on what we’ve seen. Sadly we never get many movies that show a predator climbing ranks, usually them just dying to stupid human tactics or unblooded dying to xenos. We need better movies, more lore building.

[Lucknitro]

The Predator from Mortal Kombat X can throw hands with Scorpion, so he’s probably the strongest.

[teamtjulfar]

In my Opinion the Whole Alien and Xenomorph Universe is very under utilized in Movies and Games alike. So much Lore to be explored in different settings and the Fanbase loves it if done right. We need way more of this.

[mentkansleyunitedstatesgov]

Pretty sure Wolf from Requiem is one of the most experienced Yautja we've seen in action in a film so far even if he isnt canon anymore

[dylanemery]

Based on rank, Greyback. But going over actual feats and accolades, I would say Wolf is far and beyond any of the competition. Berserker is overrated. The movie shows us that he's only a little bit stronger than the average Predator. Wolf is an Elite, whose solely tasked with Xenomorph cleanup. AvPR showed us the Predalien cutting through every Predator on the ship solo, which also housed an Elder. Wolf was shown to be able to kill multiple Xenos routinely. And at the end he threw away his gadgets and stalemated the Predalien in melee combat. That feat is stupid impressive. Especially since he's exhausted his arsenal throughout the film, including his dual Plasma cannons. And he had been fighting nonstop and soaking up damage throughout the movie leading up to that 1v1. He would destroy Berseker. And if we consider that the Predalien did kill an Elder, Wolf stalemating it in melee combat while exhausted and injured is more impressive than the featless Greyback.

Wolf by a mile.

[indominusreags]

Me personally, wolf is my pick. Take this into perspective: Aliens are extremely powerful just off of human hosts. Look how powerful predators are alone. Then multiply them together, and you get the predalien. And THEN read the statement that the predalien was a juvenile queen at that. And Then, look how wolf has been battling Xenos for literal days and then goes toe to toe with the absolute beast that is the predalien and wins. Wolf is just built different

[starcorpsstudios]

I personally consider Ahab to be the strongest yautja. His strongest feat was being able to kill an Engineer, which I believe very few yautjas have accomplished.

[jakealter]

To be an elite predator you need to be able to kill several fully matured xenomorphs and possibly kill a queen, this means that wolf most likely did kill a queen Xenomorph at some point. The fact that he went to earth alone to clean up the infestation, was rag dolling the regular Xenomorphs, and stalemated a Predalien that was a young queen with nothing left but his damaged wrist blade (and basically won the fight) shows that wolf was a very deadly predator and he is likely the deadliest to appear in the movies

[jadengoh]

Greyback must really be a whole other breed considering the fact that to be a clan elder would imply that you have the respect of the other members of the clan and to have the respect of Lost, Warrior and Guardian really says a lot

[darthsilversith]

Even with Prey having taken place a few hundred years ago.. I don’t think they have ships that can travel the stars, go invisible and all the other tech and then not have a plasma caster. I think the predator just made the decision to kinda nerf himself a little, considering where we where technologically speaking and predator culture already thinking that kills with the plasma caster were less honorable.

[SuperspinogamingHD]

I feel so humbled to have seen my gameplay footage in this video, awesome work guys!
