All 33 Predator Ranks You Didn't Know Existed: Before Badlands (Yautja Lore)

🩸 The FULL YAUTJA HIERARCHY EXPLAINED: Every Predator Rank, Clan, and Hybrid (Badlands Lore Guide)

Honor is armor in Yautja society, and the hierarchy is written in blood.

With the release of Predator: Badlands (Nov 2025) here, the focus is turning back to the complex structure of the Yautja. They are not just hunters; they live by a rigid code of ranks, trials, and ultimate honor. This video is the definitive, comprehensive breakdown of EVERY Yautja rank, from the moment a Suckling is born to the mythical power of the Predator King.


We explore the brutal trials (often against Xenomorphs ), the sacred blooding ritual, the permanent shame of the Bad Bloods , and the shocking genetic Hybrids that challenge their entire species. Understanding this hierarchy—the difference between an Un-Blooded Youth and an Elite Predator—is essential to grasping the core of the franchise and anticipating the new lore from Badlands.
