When the Ultimate Predator arrives on Earth, it brings with it a couple of dog-like creatures who bear a significant resemblance to the Hell-Hounds introduced in 2010's Predators.

It was confirmed pre-release that these new monsters are indeed a reworking of the ones from Predators - making them the only significant reference to the 2010 film - but designed to more closely resemble the Ultimate Predator.

It's a shame the new Hell-Hounds are basically a blurry CGI mess for the most part - and the whole "taming them with a bullet to the head" thing is weird as hell - but it's at least nice to see something survive from a Predator sequel that's otherwise been inexplicably ignored.
