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.
