comment
Predator is a franchise of Action Horror films and comic books that detail individual encounters with an impossibly cool alien species with advanced technology, including a personal invisibility field. The creature likes to hunt aggressive members of other species for sport — and humans fit quite well in this category...Since the inception in 1987, the Predator has appeared in a large number of movies, comics, novels, video games, and other media. Following an extremely successful comic crossover, many of these works pit the Predator against the Alien to the point that the two are forever linked in the public mind. This trend began in Predator 2, which included a xenomorph skull as an Easter Egg, and was eventually canonized in film. Beyond humans and xenomorphs, multiple comic series have established that the Predator's third favorite prey are superheroes (which rarely works out). The franchise has also inspired many a Predator Pastiche in other series.

Bizarre Alien Biology
 Predator (Franchise) / int_1161fb48
comment
Bizarre Alien Biology: The Predators are mostly humanoid in appearance with slimy reptilian skin, similarly reptilian feet, and clawed hands. They have no visible ears or noses and have a sharp-toothed face with four mandibles instead of a conventional mouth, capped off by dreadlock flesh tendrils and glowing green blood. Bizarre Alien Senses: The title aliens have infrared vision. This is depicted onscreen by coloring what they see based on the temperature of objects: black = cold, white = hot, and other colors in between. They actually see in the near infrared, not thermal infrared. Without their helmet, they can easily detect heat differentials in their surroundings but are unable to easily distinguish among objects of the same relative temperature. Their helmet includes circuitry that filters out ambient heat, allowing them to see things with greater clarity and detail (represented in the movie by using a thermal infrared camera). Coincidentally, if you've ever wondered why nothing on earth has developed anything similar, it's because that, as far as the eye's pigment molecules are concerned, light energy and heat energy are pretty much the same thing. The long-short is that if we saw in the infrared, our eyes would be completely overwhelmed by heat signatures being misinterpreted as light sources. Predator: South China Sea suggests that Yautja "dreadlocks" are actually sensory structures, assisting the Predators' agility with a superhumanly-keen sense of balance and spatial orientation.

Negated Moment of Awesome: When the Predator in the second film had Harrigan pinned down, Keyes, who was thought to have been blown up earlier, leaps in, saying the fight is between him and the Predator, only for the Predator to slice him in half without much difficulty. Considering he was a Jerkass however, it's not hard to feel whether or not the moment was truly wasted.

Sorting Algorithm of Mortality
 Predator (Franchise) / int_1ec17e58
comment
Sorting Algorithm of Mortality: Predator, Predator 2, Predators and The Predator all have casts filled with numerous badass men... and a lone woman. No prizes for guessing which characters are guaranteed to survive. Averted by the Alien vs. Predator films which both have multiple female roles, allowing some of them to become victims too. Also averted in Predator 2, when the City Hunters kills all of the armed commuters, male or female (there's a POV shot of the Predator breaking the neck of an armed elderly woman), during the train shootout.

More Dakka: Spades of it, in fact. Predator. After Blain is killed, there is potentially the most Dakka in one scene in cinema history. It's still not enuff. Predator 2. The Colombians use grenade launchers on the LAPD and go to an armory filled with heavy firepower but are prevented from utilizing it due to the Predator's arrival. Later when the Predator attacks the Jamaicans in the Columbian drug lord's apartment, they unload a huge amount of firepower at once. Predators has it when the hunted humans unload a huge amount of lead on attacking Predator hounds.

Scary Black Man: Mac, in the first film. Double subverted in that, for most of his screen time, he's scared shitless himself... but after his Heroic BSoD, he's downright terrifying. Played straight in Predator 2 where Scary Black Men include the main character, the Jamaican gangsters, and their leader King Willie (the last more because of his voodoo belief and behavior than his physical strength}. Mombasa and Noland from Predators also play into this as well.

 Predator (Franchise) / int_3270a3d7
comment
Low Culture, High Tech: The Yautja hunters utilise Energy Weapons, cloaking devices and advanced metallurgy. However their society seems to be tribal in nature and directed entirely towards ritualized hunting and warfare. Some sources claim this is because the Yautja at some point in their history beat back a planetary invasion from a more advanced species and scavenged some of their technology without a full understanding of what makes it work. Other sources claim they do develop their own technology but they have become so fixated on hunting that they've become stagnant and have made no meaningful improvement for centuries. Another interpretation is that they really are more advanced, but don't use anything beyond what we have seen so far while hunting because it wouldn't be considered "sporting".

That said, do not piss off a Predator after it decides to leave you alone. Charles Bishop Weyland in Alien vs. Predator learned that the hard way after he decided to improvise a flamethrower against one that had its back to him, who had let him go seconds earlier after realizing he was gravely ill from lung cancer. (Though a common interpretation is that the Predator viewed this attack as a demand by Weyland to be considered worthy prey and die an honorable death, and the Predator was only too happy to oblige.)

Fair-Play Villain
 Predator (Franchise) / int_3bfa8d6
comment
Fair-Play Villain: The Predators have standards, see Even Evil Has Standards for more. Though they still give themselves an impressive advantage over their chosen prey, just not usually an overwhelming one. Some EU materials cite a standard practice of matching the prey weapon for weapon: if hunting humans (who have guns), Predators can bring their shoulder cannons and other plasma guns. If hunting Aliens, they should stick to melee weapons (and perhaps one inefficient ranged weapon). In some portrayals, they've notably giving themselves a handicap by NOT using the most advanced technology at their disposal. Yautja Military units wear powered armor and wield even more powerful weaponry that can kill multiple foes simultaneously. It's worth nothing that the Predator in Prey (2022) is using a handheld weapon that, while still laser-guided, fires flechettes rather than the standard plasma caster model to take on Comanches who are armed with bows and arrows and French trappers wielding primitive musket-style arms. Likewise, when Hanzo challenges one to a duel in Predators with just his katana, the Predator honors him by shedding its cloaking and its shoulder cannon and just using its wrist blades.

Socially Unacceptable Collection: Predators collect skulls of the prey they hunt, there are two kinds of Predators, the regular kind and the so called Black Predators who are less like hunters and more like serial killers, the collections of the former aren't this trope but the latter are because by the standards of mainstream Predator culture they collect "normal" trophies while Black Predators collect trophies from creatures who can't fight back like children, which normal Predators find dishonorable.

Worthy Opponent: Happens to both Schaeffer and Harrigan when their respective Predator foe acknowledges their combat ability. It ends up with the Predator removing its mask and armor and challenging them under more even circumstances. For Schaeffer it was outsmarting the Predator with the mud-smear and taking down his cloaking device. For Harrigan the only reason the hunter selected him was seeing him pull off a one-man takedown against a gang of better-armed thugs. Explicitly shown with the other Predators' reaction to Harrigan after he manages to take the one hunting him down. Also occurs in Predators with Hanzo, who challenges a Predator to a sword/blade fight. The Predator drops his cloaking and weapons.

Rated M for Manly: The original movie has one of the manliest casts ever assembled. The sequels never try matching it, but make every character into a strong fighter to compensate. And there's always blood and amusing quips to guarantee the testosterone flow.

Bizarre Alien Senses
 Predator (Franchise) / int_4ee5989a
comment
Bizarre Alien Senses: The title aliens have infrared vision. This is depicted onscreen by coloring what they see based on the temperature of objects: black = cold, white = hot, and other colors in between. They actually see in the near infrared, not thermal infrared. Without their helmet, they can easily detect heat differentials in their surroundings but are unable to easily distinguish among objects of the same relative temperature. Their helmet includes circuitry that filters out ambient heat, allowing them to see things with greater clarity and detail (represented in the movie by using a thermal infrared camera). Coincidentally, if you've ever wondered why nothing on earth has developed anything similar, it's because that, as far as the eye's pigment molecules are concerned, light energy and heat energy are pretty much the same thing. The long-short is that if we saw in the infrared, our eyes would be completely overwhelmed by heat signatures being misinterpreted as light sources.

Crazy-Prepared: The Predators seem to have equipment to deal with almost every situation, and when they don't, you can expect this will be corrected in the next generation; the Predator from the first movie had a medical kit in case he would be shot; the one from the second movie had a multiple vision visor in case humans would figure out a way to escape his heat vision; the ones from the Alien vs. Predator movies had equipment treated to resist Xenomorph's blood and an acid used to remove tracks of their existence; the ones from Predators had a self-destruct function in their ship that could be activated remotely should the humans try to steal it to escape the planet; and the list goes on.

Improbable Infant Survival: Justified. The Predators will not kill children or infants due to their rigid code of honor; no killing something that can't or is too unlikely to defend itself. In one comic a Predator leader kills a younger hunter because said rookie decided to take a little kid as a trophy.

I Am Not Left-Handed: On a military level. Some works establish that the reason the Predators' technology never seems to advance is because the ones we see are big game hunters and the tech used to hunt is what is considered "sporting". When shit hits the fan, they break out the literal big guns and get serious.

Monster Threat Expiration: The Predator... the first one systematically hunts down and kills an entire elite special forces unit, only losing due to a conveniently placed trap shortly before it could kill Arnold. In Predator 2, although it does do quite a number on drug gangs and attains a higher kill count, as soon as Danny Glover manages to track it down (he is a very well-armed cop), he has it on the ropes, lops off one of its arms, and kills it with its own weapon.

Night-Vision Goggles

comment
Night-Vision Goggles: The Predator mask can see in several vision modes, but not the visible spectrum. Interestingly, the director went to the effort of getting hold of a real infrared camera for the Predvision sequences... And found it was practically useless in a steaming tropical jungle, hence the false coloured Predvision in the actual movie.) The first movie also displays this, kind of. When the Predator takes off his mask for the final battle, we see a shot from his point of view as the previous blue/black-with-highlighted-creatures view becomes red with heat, though he can still make out his target. The mask must filter out the ambient heat to make it easier to see. The Men in Black in the second movie realize that the Preds can see in heat mode...but they assume that they can ONLY see in heat mode. It... ended badly. Had they realized that there was a creaky staircase in the slaughterhouse, things might've gone differently. The Predator can hear perfectly well and wouldn't have switched to its other vision modes if they had replaced the staircase earlier.

Never Hurt an Innocent: The Predators only hunt those who would make good sport, and will not harm those who are clearly not fighters: sick, elderly, young, with child, etc. However, they tend to make exceptions if the siutation demands it, as their hunting code is not strictly done out of compassion. The sick guy in AVP: Alien vs. Predator was ignored at first, but his willingness to fight despite being heavily outmatched and his ingenuity in improvising a weapon elevated him to "worthy kill". Plus, he set the Predator on fire... honor or not, that's going to tick you off! There was also the dude that stumbled across the Predator in the woods in Requiem, but then again, that wasn't a question of killing for sport so much as it was a question of leaving no witnesses. After all, his code-name, besides being called Wolf, was "The Cleaner". Predators who break this rule without good reason, however, are considered monsters by Predator standards and according to Expanded Universe, hunted down, killed, and their bodies desecrated.

That they destroy their technology and everything around them because their prey might use their technology against them makes sense but it's also telling that they don't simply not hunt species that can do that, the trophies are worth risking it.

Asshole Victim: Quite a few people killed by the Predators proved to be unpleasant people. The first film had Dillion, who tricked Dutch and the rest of his team into thinking the mission was a rescue rather than an assassination, and in fact view the team as "expendable assets." The second film had criminals (ranging from Columbian and Jamaican mobs to a street gang on a subway) and the shady Agent Keyes. The third film had Death Row inmate Stans (whose death was noted as a combination of Heroic Sacrifice, Face Death with Dignity, Defiant to the End and Redemption Equals Death), RUF member Mombasa, serial killer Edwin, Fallen Hero Noland and cartel enforcer Cuchillo.

Better to Die than Be Killed: Predators sometimes use their explosive wrist bracelets to blow themselves up before they die. Often, it's done for practical reasons rather than spite. For example, blowing up an area to prevent a xenomorph infestation from getting out of control, or to prevent their technology from falling into the hands of their prey.

Wouldn't Hurt a Child
 Predator (Franchise) / int_a2b998a0
comment
Wouldn't Hurt a Child: As stated above, killing children is especially forbidden to them, and at times they will even go out of their way to protect and/or show kindness towards a child (this is seen once in a while in comics). Any Yautja who decides to hunt children is seen as utterly deplorable and lacking of honor, and they are punished with being hunted down to the death and the desecration of their corpse.

Double-Meaning Title: Predator refers to the Yautja antagonists, but it also applies to the protagonists, who are soldiers (or policeman in Mike's case) with combat experience. Same goes for Prey albeit in the opposite direction. Whichever character is the prey depends on perspective.

Genius Bruiser: Varying slightly in portrayals but generally played straight. They are intelligent enough to adapt to multiple situations, are capable of roughly triangulating the path and origin of projectiles on the fly, and manipulating situations to their advantage (such as the gang war in LA). Also par the course for an interstellar race that has optical camouflage, nano-molecular blades, and energy weapons.

Desecrating the Dead
 Predator (Franchise) / int_bd39588d
comment
Desecrating the Dead: Normally subverted: while what Predators do to their victims is barbaric by human standards, to the Predators even the skinning of a victim is meant as a show of respect and taking the skull is an acknowledgment of a Worthy Opponent (not unlike a human hunter mounting a particularly impressive beast's head on his own wall). Played Straight when it comes to Predators who violate their honor code and kill innocents or those incapable of fighting back; these renegades are hunted down, killed, have their bodies desecrated, and have their heads thrown away rather than collected (making it a dishonor).

Proud Hunter Race
 Predator (Franchise) / int_c6d96108
comment
Proud Hunter Race: The Predators are the Trope Maker. Their culture revolves around a ritualized hunt of the most dangerous lifeforms in the universe — humans and xenomorphs, for the most part. They have an entire arsenal of highly memorable exotic weapons (from their wristblades to the giant shuriken to the shoulder mounted particle beam with the famous triangular laser sight), are highly advanced technologically (with the later-obligatory cloaking device, which they more or less introduced to cinema, and the sensor mask that has become synonymous with them) and are so obsessed with honor that they will kill a member of their race who doesn't play fair with the prey and, when a human defeats one of them in a duel, they ritually gift the human with the defeated hunter's spear. Predator — Dutch: "He didn't kill you because you weren't armed. No sport." Predator 2: After Harrigan kills the Predator, other Predators appear but don't kill him. Instead, one of them tosses Harrigan a gun from 1715 — taken as a trophy during a previous hunt. Also note that the antagonist Predator is an honorable warrior who does not murder children or pregnant women, even if they are an armed threat to it.

Helmet-Mounted Sight: In the original film, the Predator's Shoulder Cannon moves in sync with its helmet. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem: The Predator installs a second plasmacaster on the other shoulder, although both are controlled by the same sight. Prey (2022): The Predator changes out the plasmacaster for an arrow that tracks based on the helmet-mounted sight. Naru then defeats the Predator by stealing the helmet and propping it up so that the sight is aimed right at the Predator's head. When the Predator launches an arrow, it kills the Predator instead of her.

 Predator (Franchise) / int_c9798438
comment
Villain-Based Franchise: Though the Predators do have a personal code of honor, that code could be more a combination of hunting practicalities (don't kill pregnant females lest there be no prey left to hunt - Whether their code involves compassion or not is not mentioned in commentary for Predator 2) and bragging rights, and so when no really corrupt human beings are involved, they usually fit the bill as villains of the piece. The plot of the series boils down to "Predator comes to a technologically inferior society of sapient beings to kill them for bragging rights until those the audience may root for fight back enough". Furthermore, the Expanded Universe suggests that Predators actually breed Aliens on purpose, and have deliberately scattered them across the galaxy (though they at least have the decency to usually kill them off before they spread out of control). They may not have been the ones who created the Xenomorphs, but the fact that they spread such a massively destructive species for greater hunting convenience makes them highly complicit in all the damage that xenomorphs do.

Humans Are Special
 Predator (Franchise) / int_e0207930
comment
Humans Are Special: One of the reasons the Predators seem to enjoy hunting humans is that our sheer lack of physical and/or and technological advantages compared to them means we have to resort to being very ingenious when it comes to finding ways to track down and kill our opponents. In short... we cheat. In expanded universe material, this really gets played up: Predators honor humans as the "Pyode Amedah", meaning the "Soft Meat", and we are considered one of the two greatest trophy-species to hunt. The only other one of comparable importance are the "Kainde Amedah", or the "Hard Meat"... which we humans know as xenomorphs. That's right; Predators think humans are (at least potentially) such badasses that they actually get into arguments about whether or not we are greater quarry than a race of acid-blooded Lightning Bruiser monsters. The Aliens vs Predator novels pretty much outright state that humans are greater quarry (at least when the Yautja rigidly follows the hunting code, and chooses worthy humans). They use Xenomorphs as their training prey for new, unblooded warriors... but you have to be a distinguished hunter and apply for special permission to hunt "Soft Meat".

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Predators live by a code that endorses hunting intelligent life-forms but condemns killing non-threatening or pregnant beings, children, and their own kind. Apart from the "hunting intelligent life" bit, the Predators' code is recognizably similar to that of real-life sport hunters. There's no challenge in hunting prey that can't or is unlikely to put up a good fight: the very young, the very old, the sick or weakened, the unarmed. Killing too many pregnant females means no hunting stock, so most hunters don't on general principle if they can help it.

No Waterproofing in the Future: The Predator's cloaking device fails after he falls in a river (1st movie) and while walking in water and under water sprays (2nd movie). Possibly justified as the Predator's cloaking device bends light around it to work and the reflective nature of the water would certainly hinder its purpose.
