Devil (Yautja/Predator)

Physically they are humanoid in shape , but taller than humans (around 2.20 m (7 ′ 3 ″ ) or 2.40 m (7 ′ 10 ″ )) and with a very different skull , since their head has small eyes with black sclera and green, red or yellow irises, capable of seeing only in the infrared and ultraviolet light spectrum, a nose consisting of slits, a mouth with enormous movable cruciform jaws, a fairly developed ear and strength superior to that of humans. Their natural vision is based on thermographic perception , but they possess technology to optimize their visual spectrum and also see the different spectra of light and heat of the environment they are in. They breathe 1% more oxygen and 4% more nitrogen than humans. Most of their body is pure muscle, being able to withstand hard physical punishment. The skin is generally green, light or dark depending on the area, accompanied by brown, black or green scales. Hands similar to those of humans, except that the fingers end in claws. Feet with five toes with a heel like a spur and its blood is phosphorescent green. He only makes growling, hissing, purring and clicking sounds to communicate since it's the yautja language but he can say few human words: love, no, yes, pretty, ugly, help me, stop, go on, motherfucker and family.

Their natural vision is based on thermographic perception , but they possess technology to optimize their visual spectrum and also see the different spectra of light and heat of the environment they are in. They breathe 1% more oxygen and 4% more nitrogen than humans. They are able to adapt to Earth's atmosphere for up to a week, longer if they have breathing apparatus. Their blood is carbon -based, and they have a partial ability to neutralize xenomorph acid . Their lifespan is also longer, as they have the ability to increase human lifespan. They usually weigh between 140 kg (308 lb ) and 190 kg (418 lb ) and have a relatively stocky body structure due to their activity and diet. They have strong, black claws . Instead of hair, they have a crown of smooth-surfaced capillary ducts, thick at the top, tapering at the ends to a point (they look like dreadlocks). These ducts go from one temple to the other at the height of the nape of the neck, and vary in color and shape depending on age and race. They have the function of regulating the individual's body heat because blood circulates through them, controlling heat depending on the temperature, high or low. He only makes growling, hissing, purring and clicking sounds to communicate since it's the yautja language but he can say few human words: love, no, yes, pretty, ugly, help me, stop, go on, motherfucker and family.

Their preferred targets are Xenomorphs and the human species , with whom they have had encounters throughout history. They have had contact with humans since 14,000 years ago in Antarctica , passing through civilizations such as Ancient Egypt , the culture of Cambodia and the Aztecs . Additionally, they hunt various undefined alien species, as shown in Predator 2 , when different and strange skulls are shown on display inside the ship as trophies.

Its name is Yautja Prime , an arid and dry planet with 2 stars, despite having these characteristics it is home to life. It is not only the home planet of the Yautjas, but of many other minor species; it is a place of extreme heat, with intense and constant volcanic activity, this is the main reason why these creatures are attracted to places with a lot of heat and why their visual equipment is suitable for that purpose. It has two ecosystems: one radioactive, the largest, with hellish deserts through which rivers of lava flow. Another, much smaller in proportion, with forests and jungles watered by multiple rivers, in both ecosystems there are native species. Yautja constructions can be found throughout the planet, regardless of the ecosystem. He only makes growling, hissing, purring and clicking sounds to communicate since it's the yautja language but he can say few human words: love, no, yes, pretty, ugly, help me, stop, go on, motherfucker and family.

it is explained that Earth was a kind of training camp and they were the ones who taught ancient civilizations to build temples to worship them and serve as living incubators for the Aliens. They visited Earth at intervals of 100 years and chose some humans for the hunt, creating the ultimate prey: the Alien. The winning Predator of the hunt would put the mark with the acid of the Alien's blood drawing the symbol of his tribe as part of a ritual. He only makes growling, hissing, purring and clicking sounds to communicate since it's the yautja language but he can say few human words: love, no, yes, pretty, ugly, help me, stop, go on, motherfucker and family.

They are creatures with a high sense of honor and an intellect superior to that of humans: They do not attack pregnant women, unarmed individuals, the elderly, the sick or children. Their code of honor dictates that defeat in combat or failure in a hunt that puts them in danger of discovery means self-destruction . Taking the trophy of another dead Predator is considered an insult. It is not permitted to join a hunt with other warriors and clans or to hunt without their permission. Prey or beings of other species that defeat a yautja in a hunt, as long as they are intelligent beings and not wild beasts, will be considered "Notable" (except for xenomorphs) and cannot be hunted or attacked by another yautja because they will be considered part of the clan. If a yautja kills another, he will cease to belong to the clan and will become a bad blood (a criminal) being pursued by other yautjas until he is killed. If they break a rule they are exiled from the clan or may even pay with death.

Hunters : no species compares to them. Their height is 2.40 m (7 ′ 10 ″ ), strong, silent and skilled at hunting, they are the most prominent in the social order. Elders : the most powerful ans the oldest who have carried out hundreds of hunts, they are the leaders of the different clans. Honorables : humans or intelligent beings that managed to defeat or save a yautja and won great trophies, they are considered part of the clan and are given a gift by the Elder of that clan. Blooded : They have already hunted quite a bit and already did the initiation ritual to become hunters. Young Blood : Recently bled warriors. Those who just finished their initiation ritual and are ready to do their first hunt. Suckling : They are the smallest in society who cannot yet fight, they're the children of the yautja. Undesirables : weak and/or cowards who did not accept the initiation ritual. Bad blood : dishonored, psychopaths or criminals considered dangerous and dishonorable to the clan. Predalien : Hybrids born from Yautjas infected by Xenomorphs , they are a taboo and a blasphemy for the species, they must be killed immediately and without consideration.

They possess highly advanced technology , being able to build weapons that fire energy projectiles, powerful explosives or sophisticated electronic systems. They also apply this high level of technology to more basic weapons such as blades, spears or nets , since, according to them, it is a more honorable way of hunting. Among the most famous systems they possess are the mask that provides them with different vision modes, highly accurate plasma cannons and an optical camouflage device that helps them in their work, through which they adopt almost complete invisibility.

Basic armor: consists of a mesh that does not offer any type of protection, but keeps the body warm. Hunter armor: It is light, maneuverable and offers protection in the most vulnerable parts. Depending on the prey, they can cover a larger part, modify it to be immune to the xenomorphs' acid or add parts of the specimen they are going to hunt, such as the exoskeleton. "High-rank" hunting armor: they have more layers of armor, are more resistant to blows and shots. They can have parts of their victims, the helmet is entirely marked with hunter marks. War armor: not used for hunting, only for times of war, it covers the entire body except the head of the individual. Ceremonial armor: used by higher castes or highly prestigious hunters in ceremonies. The armor is composed of knee pads, shin guards, first aid kit, metal plates (shoulder pads, pectoral pads, thigh pads...), computer system, helmet, methane emergency mask, camouflage cloak, bracers with computer controls and arm computer

Drop pods: These are typically shaped like flower buds, long and aerodynamic. Typically designed for a single Predator, they are not very maneuverable as the vehicle is usually dropped into the atmosphere. Rer'uda or Shuttle: A small, single-hunter craft that is short-range and free-falling in the atmosphere. Standard Ship or Man'daca: This is where caste members live. Hunters sleep on the ground and the higher castes have their own quarters and better food. Mother Ship or Jag'd'ja Atoll: These are mobile, independent bases that contain standard ships due to their large size and capacity. All ship types come equipped with an autopilot, self-destruct, analysis card, environmental shielding, propulsion charges, and cloaking cloak.

Scanner detector: It's one of his new tools that he uses to track enemies based on their DNA which can be taken in many ways. Biomask: His mask is an example of a great advance since it has biological technology. It has several designs that vary depending on the clan to which the Predator belongs or the rank it is in. Some of its functions are gas mask , respirator, voice and sound amplifier, multiple vision modes, zoom function , system diagnostic capacity, tracking and communication, among others. The helmet serves to detect targets and a laser pointer that guides the cannon shots on the creature's shoulder, as well as being used as protection against the facehugger. Each individual has their own collection of masks. Cloaking device: This device provides camouflage during hunting, making it very difficult to spot, although it is not completely invisible. When the Predator moves, a trail can be seen . This technology is also used in their ships. This technology fails when in contact with water. It does not work when fighting the Aliens, since these creatures use their sense of smell to detect their prey and are also guided by the pheromones given off by the Predator. Self-destruct system: it is their self-destruct device and is used as a means and last resort to safeguard their honor after failing in the hunt (since they prefer to die with honor than to live as cowards or weak), also to annihilate large nests of Xenomorphs or an epidemic of these out of control, as seen in the movie Alien vs. Predator since it is a device that can be deposited. It is a thermonuclear device of superior technology, destroys everything in an area of 810 meters around and is part of the hunter's armor.

Combi-stick: A ceremonial weapon that looks like a stick with blades on both sides that cut anything. It measures about two and a half meters in height and weighs two kilograms. It provides distinction among the rest to the individual who possesses it. Plasma weapon (Sivk'va-tai) edit Also known as the tri-cannon, plasma cannon, or shoulder gun, it works in conjunction with his mask to acquire targets, it is his main weapon, it has a great range and its destructive potential is tremendous being able to penetrate any personal armor known to humans since it accumulates energy thanks to the suit; However, it also has a small internal power source so that in case its power supply is damaged it can be reassembled as a hand rifle, although after two or three shots it must rest to accumulate energy again. This weapon is complemented by the biomask, where a three-beam laser sight points to the target; In addition, the base of the barrel imitates the movement of the mask, so that if the wearer turns his head the weapon can point in the direction where he is looking. Spear (Ki'cti-pa) edit It is a kind of spear made of hard, unknown metal that extends and keeps itself. Due to the great strength of the Predators, it can be a fearsome throwing weapon made of unbreakable alloys with electric charges at the ends. Once thrown, it maintains a constant straight line up to 1000 feet, at which point it descends to the ground where it returns to its normal shape to be picked up.

Smart Disk edit Fast and accurate, it guides itself according to the Predator's mask. It is a small disk that, when pressed, activates a sharp edge or several blades. This weapon is used by Harrigan (Predator II) to injure and later kill the hunter. Made of the same materials as the spear, it is easy to cut and returns to the hands of its shooter as if it were a boomerang.

Net-thrower (Bhrak-chei) edit A high-tech gun or gauntlet that in the movies is seen with a normal web shooter. The webs are made of some unknown metallic filament and when fired it fixes the victim to the ground thanks to some spikes that dig in and make escape impossible since the web, through an unknown dynamic torsion mechanism, progressively tightens, torturing the victim as the web filament cuts the flesh. This is unless the victim has a weapon that can cut the web, which is difficult (almost impossible) for a human since in Alien vs Predator it is seen that when trying to cut the web with a combat knife made of steel, the knife is cut by the web, or in the case of a xenomorph, its acidic blood dissolves and breaks the web making it difficult to capture.

Wrist Blades (Dah'kte) edit They are long blades inserted into the hunter's forearm that extend when the fist is clenched and are capable of cutting any metal. They are 40 to 80 centimeters long, can rotate 180 degrees and are retractable. Only an alien can compete with this weapon, although the Predators sometimes have a blade that is immune to any type of acid.

Shuriken edit Small disc that extends its six serrated blades when you press a button. It is used like the smart disc but smaller and like a boomerang; to retract the blades it must be shaken twice.

Whip edit Weapon that the predator uses to eliminate adversaries at a not very long distance, he throws it and when he catches his victim he pulls the whip and the pressure is responsible for dividing his opponent into different sections. Solvent edit This tool, which is shown in action in Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, has been used by Predators since Predator II. Its basic function is to corrode the Predator or Aliens' victims without leaving any trace or footprint, so that humans do not steal their technology and continue to ignore their race and the Aliens. This substance has been shown to be highly corrosive to both aliens and other species, due to having some compounds of chemical substances, which enhance this effect; this causes it to dissolve ordinary matter and thus affect the tissues of an alien.

Laser fences edit They are devices that stick to any surface and are activated by a small computer that the Predators have in their arms. This device releases lasers capable of cutting any individual. They form a barrier which the Predators use to imprison an enemy, to set a perimeter or to help them destroy opponents in greater numbers by pushing them towards the bars.

Extendable sword edit They come in long and short versions, and some can be retracted to take up as little space as possible. They are often decorated with bones and shells.

First aid box edit When the predator receives serious wounds, he can cauterize them with this system, which includes a self-deploying tray, surgical material and chemicals. The process, carried out by the hunter himself without any anesthesia, is extremely painful.

Devil is a Young Blooded yautja of around 300 years old (equivalent of a young adult for humans/20 years old). He is very reserved, calculative and cold, very righteous and follows the code of honor woth pride and respect for other hunters and honorables, he has a very dark amd dry sense of humor that borderlines creepy. He can feel affection for hunters comrades and his friends. He is extreamly loyal and smart. He feels deep compassion for children and the elder people. If he ever comes across a kid he would take care of the littke one and protect them with his life until he finds their parents or someone else to take care of them. He is overly protective of his stuff and loved ones. Devil has anger issues and can snap at the slightest thing,making him really agressive towards anything that isnt another yautja or a loved one. He only makes growling, hissing, purring and clicking sounds to communicate since it's the yautja language, he can't speak like humans at all, he hates the humam language.

Yautjas hunt to get big and worthy trophies, the males that have more trophies, the longest dreadlocks and the greatest physique get to mate and have children. Yautjas are not always monogamous and change partners in every heat/runt season, however, there are some yautjas that prefer a closed polyamorous relationship or straight up be monogamous with their favourite partner (there's evidence of this thanks to the clan of widowed yautjas, meaning that some even get married). The children are called Suckling and they are usually taken care of by the entire clan, yet sometimes the parents decide to raise their children by themselves. Yautjas consider strenght and skills the most attractive aspect of a individual, if a yautja refuses to hunt they'll become a undesirable and be used as a slave. Most yautjas are okay with homosexuality as long as they have children to continue their species it doesnt matter who mates with who.

other than the armour yautjas usually wear loincloths and fishnets all over their body along with any accesories they want (example small bones, rings, skins as capes or ponchos etc.), female yautja usually wear leather to cover their chests. Yautjas also use metal accesories in their dreadlocks that indicate their rank and the number of kills they have. Devil is usually very fond of using collar and jewerly made of the bones of his prey along with feathers or skins.

He only makes growling, hissing, purring and clicking sounds to communicate since it's the yautja language. He can't and will not speak in any human laguage ever, excepting saying some small words if it's utterly necessary, he despises the human language and prefers to communicate with sign language, his body language and some noises such as growling, hissing or purring to communicate with anyone, even in his native language he doesnt like to talk much and be more of actions rather than words.

For the Yautja everything resolves around the Hunt and battle. So it is fitting that the main God of the Predators is called the Black Warrior. As described in the Aliens vs. Predator: Prey and Aliens vs. Predator: War novelization, the Predators pray to this god before going on their hunts. The Black Warrior is also meant to represent Death, which is a thing the Yautja should not be afraid of. The Black Warrior will claim honorable Predators and take them their version of heaven. The Black Warrior does not only claim Predator hunters, he will also take Yautja children who have died and take them to heaven too. Predators pray to a god described as an "Extraterrestrial Odin". The representation of this god was carved into a giant stone on the Predator Mothership in a ritual chamber. This savage deity would throw thunderbolts and the three Young Blood Predators kneeled before him. In this version of the movie's events, the blooding symbol carved on the bio-masks and foreheads. The Kaail wasn't directly a Yautja god but can be considered a prophet of the Yautja race. He was the first Predator that can be considered a Yautja, as the Predators were called the Hish-Qu-Ten (or just Hish) before his time. Kaail (also known as the Alpha Predator) led a successful rebellion against the insectoid Amengi race that kept the Predators as slaves, resulting in the Predators becoming free and adapting the Amengi technology to their own needs. Adding to the mythology of the Alpha was his unique presence, being an albino with white skin and dreadlocks. Kaail is a legend among the Yautja and the "First Hunter" is often remembered, and perhaps prayed to as well.

While the Kaail was the first to be considered Yautja, Lord Predator was the first Predator to successfully hunt Xenomorphs, becoming another important prophet. The act of hunting and killing Xenomorphs (named Serpents) later became almost a religious experience itself, with successful hunters marking them with their clan symbol - often a thunderbolt, tieing in with the Extraterrestrial Odin god. Several statues were erected for Lord, especially on the planet BG-386. The sarcophagus with Lord's body was inside a giant temple, next to another statue of the legendary hunter. Dark Predator paid respect to Lord but had to blow up his temple to eradicate the Xenomorph infestation nearby.
