A very strange alien species from space known as the Predator is back in the latest movie prey, and it also maintains the habit of ripping out the skulls of its victims.
Comanche warrior Naru who is played by Amber Midthunder has to find a way to escape the advanced hunter while also devising means and figuring out both what it is and how to kill it.
This seems impossible when Naru is very frightened after she witnessed the creature fought and killed a raging bear that was running after her to devour her.
The predator with its green blood and its ability to go stealth was first introduced in 1987 in the movie predator, since then it has killed its victims and anyone that tries to stop it until it finds a worthy match.
All through the film, the Predator skins a snake with its hands, it also kills a wolf and removes its head with the spine still attached, and has the bloody altercation with the grizzly bear.
Upon meeting humans for the first time in Prey, the Predator loses all interest in the former enemies and begins to track Naru and her brother Taabe’s who is played by Dakota Beavers hunting party.
It Identifies the apex predators of Earth by the weapons they carry, the Predator uses every weapon in their arsenal like its night vision, embedded iron arrows, laser beam to follow and kill an entire army of hunters; beheading Wasape who is played by Stormee Kipp, who tried to challenge the Predator with a spear.
The only other victim they make a point to behead is Big Beard who is played by Mike Paterson, who had managed to bait the Predator into a confrontation with his own party of hunters.
The Predators are very mysterious creatures, but they have a code of honor when they go hunting. They remove and take the skulls of victims that they feel to have been especially worthy or brave opponents in combat.
The wolf was a very brave fighter and managed to wound the Predator, so the hunter took the wolf’s skull as a trophy and takes it back to his habitat to polish it.
Predators, or Yautja species, lives for the hunting of other creatures, so trophy collection is a big part of their reason for traveling to various planets around the solar system and killing all that stands in their way .
Wasape was brave enough and stood his ground and challenged the Predator, when almost every other human the Predator encountered shot at them from a distance first and killed them.
Big Beard was the leader of the group of trappers and hunters that baited the Predator and survived the Predator’s bomb. Both people qualified to have their skulls collected, given the chance, which explains why the Predator made a point tocripple them.
More Reasons Why The Predator Removes Its Victims Skulls
The Predator’s code of honor way more than just taking the skulls of the worthy challengers. Only the toughest of opponents are chosen for their prey, such as the Green Berets in the original Predator.
Noncombatants like Anna are left alone then he kills every member of the special unit one by one without breaking a sweat even after they tried several times to take it down, iit manages to elude them with advanced technology of stealth mode, while the Predator returned to Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) multiple times.
The Predator in the original film also removes all his equipment in the final battle with Dutch to give them a fairer fight, and a more honorable kill for the Predator if he succeeded.
When the Predator is defeated by Dutch, who refuses to finish the alien hunter off, the alien sets a timed explosive, allowing Dutch to get away and give himself a more honorable death.
In Predator 2, the list of conditions grows as they make sure not to hunt sickly or pregnant people while turning their sites on two warring gangs in Los Angeles.
The Predators turning the city into a hunting ground attracts the attention of Lt. Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover), and his partner Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton), who both end up in one-on-one combat with a Predator.
The latter ends up losing his confrontation and Harrigan finds Lambert’s skull in the Predator trophy room before defeating the alien hunter in close combat.
The remaining Predators appear after the fight, following their custom when one of them is defeated by an equal opponent, their leader gifts Harrigan an antique pistol assumed to be a trophy from another hunt.
This is very possible since the pistol gifted to Harrigan in Predator 2 is the same pistol that Naru received from Raphael (Bennett Taylor), which she used to kill the Predator hunting her people in Prey.
