Predator Dek from the latest movie Predator Badlands also starts a young blood. Without getting into too many spoilers, Dek is an unsually weak and small for the yautchas.
Dek becomes an outcast after being considered unworthy by his father Njohrr Who’s a clan leader. so he looks for a way to gain his respect. To earn a place in his clan, Dek traveled to the planet Genna where he hunts his ultimate adversary: an unkillable creature Kalisk feared even by his father.
Dek born on Yautcha Prime was the smallest in his clan and also had an ocular disability in one of his eyes.

6. Once a blooded yautja killed enough exceptionally dangerous species and managed to survive, he’s allowed to joint the ranks of Elite predators who are considered the most skilled and dangerous wariors. Elite yautjas are able to engage in combat with an alien queen or multiple xenomoprhs at the same time. One of the elite yautja named Wolf appears in Alien vs Predator requiem.
Wolf was able to single handedly slay dozens of xenomorphs while remaining mostly unnoticed by the local population. The only creature that could match Wolf’s abilities was the Predalien queen that was able to inflict a mortal wound right after Wolf killed it.

Another notable elite predator is Dark from the video gameAliens vs. Predator . Dark excels at silent assassinations and tactical hunts, striking from the shadows before his enemies can react. His intelligence and adaptability set him apart from typical hunters. In the game, Dark single-handedly eliminates hordes of Xenomorphs, human soldiers, and even a Xenomorph Queen, eventually earning the title of an Elder Predator.

7. The Predalien is a xenomorph hybrid spawned from a predator host. In AVp movies. A yautja Scar was impregnated with an alien embryo and spawned a xenomorph/predator hybrid. This creature has a higher intellect and strength than regular xenomoprhs and also possesses dreadlocks and mandibles. Predalien was considered a grotesque abomination but a highly prized trophy which is why Wolf was so eager to hunt it down.

8. The Elder is another rank in the yautja society. Elders rise from the rank of Elites for their unique collections of trophies and exceptional accomplishments in hunting and leadership. Elder predators can mentor unblooded, join the councill of yautja that gives advice to a Clan leader or they become Clan Leaders themselves.

The Serpent Hunter Predator is a legendary Yautja elder known for his expertise in hunting Xenomorphs. Equipped with acid-resistant armor and dual wrist blades, he combines speed, precision, and fearlessness in close combat. His unmatched skill in reading his prey’s movements allowed him to defeat entire Alien nests, ultimately claiming the head of an Alien Queen as his greatest trophy.

The Ahab Predator is a seasoned and battle-scarred elder Yautja known for his relentless obsession with hunting a perfect prey — the Engineers from Prometheus. Ahab relies on experience, cunning, and strategy rather than brute strength. He’s a master tracker and tactician who adapts to any environment, has a rare sense of respect toward worthy opponents. His greatest accomplishment was successfully hunting and killing an Engineer, making his the only Yautch to ever do it.

Another elite yatucha is Dachande Predator, also known as Broken Tusk. He is a legendary Yautja from the comic who valued cooperation and formed a alliance with a human, Machiko Noguchi, during a Xenomorph outbreak. Dachande’s greatest accomplishment was leading the charge to contain the Alien infestation, sacrificing his life in the process — proving that even among Predators, true honor lies in courage and respect for one’s allies.
