10 Most Dangerous Cinematic Aliens
9. Predator - The Predator
Gigantic and capable of camouflage, this creature is the ultimate hunter.
When a group of commandos enters a Central American jungle to rescue hostages in guerrilla-held territory, they soon realize that someone or something is stalking them. In order to have any chance of survival, they need to understand what exactly is after them and why.
This alien uses advanced technology such as multipurpose armor to arm and conceal itself, becoming invisible whenever required.
Nimble and resourceful, it moves through the jungle trees to spy on and follow the commandos, with a bio-mask aiding its vision and extreme strength aiding its fighting prowess.
It comes from a warrior culture and lives for the hunt and honor, always recognizing worthy opponents and skinning or decapitating the unfortunate victims.
If one does survive an encounter with this hellion, they are in for a last surprise when the creature activates a self-destruct device in a final bid for victory.
Designed by Stan Winston, the Predator is one of rare cinematic aliens whose home world and language is explored in its franchise, leaving us with an antagonist for the ages.
Tough, strategic, intelligent and imposing, this is one enemy that is almost impossible to defeat.
