Van'dcha

He is 130 years old, king of the desert clan, a male yautja, and measures 2.70 m. He has a 60-year-old son named Kalthar and a 55-year-old daughter named Hashori. His former mate died because she tried to betray her clan 5 years ago and they had to take her life.

The Yautja are a sentient species with a wide range of subspecies, which makes their appearance quite diverse and varied between individuals. However, the vast majority of Yautja share certain characteristics: physically, they are humanoid, but taller than humans, they walk bipedally and have an average height of 2 to 2.50 meters, although there are individuals that exceed the average height and weight, doubling the size of anyone, having an approximate height of 3 meters and above, while others, on the contrary, do not even reach 2 meters. The Yautja heads are generally broad, with small, sunken eyes and prominent jaws with large fangs. They also have scaly skin whose color and thickness vary depending on the subspecies and age. Yautja blood is a phosphorescent green.

The Yautja Code (Code of Honor) is the strict set of laws and traditions that governs the Predator species. Violating it is considered an unforgivable offense.

1. Worthy prey: Never hunt or kill unarmed, sick, children, the elderly, or pregnant females.

2. Equality of Arms: The use of optical camouflage is not permitted when attacking unarmed prey. Furthermore, if prey chooses to challenge them in melee combat, the Yautja must sheathe their plasma weapons.

3. Code 0522/74: Requires "Travel among the stars and seek only the strongest prey."

4. Consequences: If a hunter is defeated by their prey or breaks the code, they must activate their self-destruct device. Violators are branded as "Bad Blood" and may be hunted by their own kind.

The Yautja reproduce similarly to mammals, though with much more aggressive courtship rituals. The female has complete control over the choice of mate and, because she experiences intense pleasure during the act, she may injure or kill males if they do not demonstrate the necessary strength and stamina.

2. Mate selection: Yautja females are calculating, strategic, and leaders of small family groups. They have a preference when choosing a mate, favoring the strongest males, those with the most experience and the most trophies.

3. Gestation and lactation: They are viviparous beings. The young develop in the mother's womb and are born alive. In addition, the females possess mammary glands and breastfeed their babies.

4. Rearing: Mothers care for their young (called socklins) in small family units. Males sometimes actively participate in the training of the young, who must overcome lethal initiation rituals before becoming adults.

Extra fact: female yautja usually give birth to only one pup per litter, but there are super species that usually give birth to 1 to 3 pups per litter, this is either due to the gene of the male or the female herself.

50-60 years Yautja: Equivalent to 18-19 human years. This is the time when they reach their full physical development and adulthood. 300 years Yautja: This may be equivalent to a young adult in its species. Yautja over 1,000 years old: They are considered Elders or Ancient Predators. They are revered figures and clan leaders, though they rarely reach this advanced age due to the lethal nature of their hunts.

1. To be officially considered adults and warriors, they must pass an initiation rite called the "First Hunt".

2. They are extremely long-lived; their average lifespan ranges from 300 to 1,000 years. The oldest, known as Elders, typically live for over a millennium, and clan leaders can rule for centuries.

3. They stand out for their average height of 2.20 to 2.70 meters and their superhuman strength.
