Maya Bergstrom created several elaborate theories on the origins of the Predator. Very little is known about the evolutionary history of the Yautja, which are believed to have originated from the Predator homeworld, which is a hot-temperature planet compared to Earth.ĭuring her experience with the species, however, Dr. Therapsids speculated to be the potential ancestors of the Yautja species. As the Human Hunter Borgia began to undergo genetic augmentation with Yautja DNA, he began to develop dreadlocks similar to the Yautja in place of hair. The members of the Dark Blade clan captured by Borgia Industries all had their dreadlocks removed for unknown reasons. It's also been stated that the Yautja apparently use their "High Tech Dreadlocks" as scanning devices. One of the Yautja hunting in Gotham had short dreadlocks that appear to be uniformly cut. Variations in their dreadlocks have been shown to exist. When a Predator's dreadlocks are shot off, they bleed profusely. If there is any sign of tears or even the tiniest voicing of pain, then the intricate weaving will be undone, and the candidate has to start from the beginning. The first step towards becoming a warrior amongst the Yautja is the agony of the plaiting of these locks, a process that can take months of ritual and scalp pain, performed in public sessions. Some individuals have been observed to wear what appears to be jewelry on them, and the "Predalien" (a Xenomorph born from a Yautja host) eventually grew them implying that they are genetic. Speculated to represent thermoregulatory or sensorial organs it's also possible that they serve primarily for display. The dreadlock-like head tendrils are an iconic physical feature of the Yautja. Yautja blood is actually capable of enhancing the lifespan and health of beings like Humans exposed to it. Because of this, he was able to use a wide-spectrum tranquilizer, with a dosage which in Batman's words could stop a herd of rhinos, to partially incapacitate the Predator. When Batman had the opportunity to test some of the Predator's blood, he found that its biochemistry was alien, but still carbon-based. The Yautja blood is easily recognizable as a luminous phosphorous green fluid: a trait they share with other creatures which are presumed to have a close evolutionary relationship to them, such as the Predator Hound. Though capable of surviving exposure in Antarctic temperatures for an extended period of time, it is believed that Predators have a preference for hot equatorial climates.ĭoctor Miriam Revna has noted that the Yautja have a completely different cell structure from the Xenomorph facehugger. They are also skilled climbers, and will readily move through trees or across rooftops in pursuit of prey. They are much stronger than Humans, being easily capable of outmatching a conditioned adult Human soldier and shattering solid concrete with their bare hands. Their bodies are resilient to damage, capable of recovering from multiple gunshot wounds and radiation doses which would be fatal to Humans. Predators are physically distinguished from Humans by their greater height, arthropod-like mandibles and long, hair-like appendages on their heads that are set into their skulls.
