10 Things You Didn't Know About The Predator

10. The Predator's Real Name

Say Predator and pretty much everyone knows what you mean. Big, reptilian nasty looking thing with even nastier looking teeth and weapons. But, as we’ve seen there is more than one of these aliens, and they are a specific species.

Actually known as the Yautja, they originate from a faraway planet called from Yautja Prime. Not too imaginative, are they? They are only known as The Predator in the movies, but the species was finally named in the Aliens Vs Predator comic in 1990.

Some of the individual Yautja in films have nicknames, which reflect their role or personality in some way too. For example, the original 1987 Predator has come to be known as The Jungle Predator, no prizes for guessing why. Similarly, we have The Fugitive Predator in the 2018 film and Scar in the Alien vs Predator movie.
