Predator first originated from the 1987 movie titled "Predator".
Staring big guns such as Arnold Schwarzenegger (Dutch), Carl Weathers, Bill Duke and Jesse Ventura.
The premise for the movie is simple. An alien species hunt the hunter. Man sits on the primordial chain hence, he becomes the target.
Here is where Dutch asks the alien, "What the hell are you?" as no one had encountered such an extraterritorial being before.
Predator is more accurately called Yautja. The species is characterized by their hunting of other dangerous species for sport and honor, including humans and Xenomorph (Alien).
Yautja possess a level of technological advancement far in excess of anything available to humans. They stalk and kill their prey (like how a hunter ambushes their prey) using a combination of highly advanced technology, such as light-bending adaptive camouflage, clothing armament, bandoleers whip, razor sharp serrated retractable blades, explosives, energy weapons, plasma bolt, spears, boomerang, shuriken and nets.
Yautja often ritualistically mutilate their victims and claim their prey's skull as a trophy.
Capable of interstellar travel, they have hunted on Earth for centuries and have been known to deliberately breed Xenomorphs in order to hunt them, as part of their initiation rituals.
Yautja's natural vision operates mainly in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, i.e. they can easily detect heat differentials in their surroundings but are unable to easily distinguish among objects of the same relative temperature. Hence, their Bio-mask helmet has the ability to see in a variety of spectrum's, ranging from the low infrared to the high ultraviolet and also filters the ambient heat from the area, allowing them to see things with greater clarity and detail.
