I've read almost every novel for these and I love it. I picked the Yautja elder. The preds are an awsome race and when I was younger I couldnt' get over how cool they looked!

i used to read the old darkhorse comics too, only just started to reread the perry novels, predators inspired me to buy dark eldar incubi and striking scorpions and a ton of epoxy putty lol

Are we discussing anything in particular about them?

There's a great site called the Anchorpoint Essays that has a great tonne of info on the Xenomorphs.

Now I remember what I was going to write.

I for one prefer the Novel versions of Predators. I love that one youth could jump into a mass of aliens and kill a dozen or more before they die. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie ones too. I however didn't like the comic book ones. The comics were way to bias to the colonial marines.

I used to have a graphic novel(''eternity''),concerning this rich industrialist who was living for centuries,powered on the essence distilled from a yautjas' heart, now that did portray the humans as sillily good at points, turning some in veritable janeways

The movies and novels give a much better view of the Predators then the comics. That and its funny to watch how the Preds view humans. They see us as a "Small but skilled prey". Though I think that comes from their population. Since there are single clans that populate whole worlds it wouldn't shock me to think of them reaching the trillion mark.

is it just me or are the hirogen, blatently ripped off from the yautja, just like the kraavak from 'ground zero games'..........?

Well they are a mock up of but by no means a rip off. The Hirogen are a diaper stain next to the overall coolness of the Yautja.

7-9 said it best. "Its only your size that makes you a danger." Or something along that line. The Preds fight everything no matter how powerful it is where the Hirogen take pride in beating weaker beings.

Yautja

What would you rather be?
