Feirce, immense, honorable, skilled. Thoughs are all words that can easily describe the Yautja. These high forms of life posses high intelligence, skill from years of training, and strength that can sometimes, not often, but sometimes rival a xenomorph. Yautja also are very agile, able to leap distances of 20 feet. They can even scale tall buildings. Yautja follow a very strict worrior code, (Which you will find out about later) guiding their lives will out question. Yautja have a short fuse, which can lite easy. If one is challenged, hell can break loose, resulting in hand too hand combat, weapons challenge, which both result in death.

Both novel and game ranks.

(No particular order)

1. Unblooded: The lowest rank of the Yautja. these preds have trained since early age for the bloodenning hunt, which will take place in the teen stage of their life..

All classes under after unblooded are blooded.

2. Blooded: These preds were lucky enough to survive the bloodenning hunt, now skilled and have gained the right to hunt anything and alone. Blooded are also common on bloodenning hunts to monitor the unblooded's progress.

3. Bad bloods: These preds are shamed, no longer following the Yautja's worrior code.

4. Light Predator: These preds are lightly armored, reliying on their skill and speed.

5. Heavy predators: These preds are heavily armored, but very slow and clumsy. They aquire immense strength and weapons.

6. Worriors: Worriors are very skilled and agile, one of the highest of the yautja ranks.

7. Honored: Honored are very repected and have shown their worth. After many hunts, they have earned their right in the high ranks.

8. Elders: Elders are retired after years of hunting, now extremely skilled and are of the highest of ranks. Many take the postion of clan leader.

9: Paya: Little is known about these yautja. They take the highest of the ranks.

1. Males: Males are the only preds that can hunt. Standing 7 feet tall, they are the weaker of the 2.

2: Females: The strongest of the 2, females stand 9 to 10 feet tall, towering the males. Females are not allowed to hunt.

Though highly advanced, most yautja will prefer using melee weapons.

W e a p o n s

Melee weapons:

1. Wrist blades: These sharp blades are located inside the right gauntlet, retracking at the controllers will. This weapon in hard to use do too thier short length, but are one of the deadliest weapons if used correctly. It is considered an honor if used skillfully.

2. Combistick: Combistick are melee weapons, used mostly in bloodenning hunts. These are very small and require lots of practice to master it.

3. Bakuub (Spear): Spears and longer then a cobistick. It's ends are very deadly and is commonly used in bloodenning hunts. Blooded will prefer to use this weapon.

4. Naginata: These weapons are more tradional then used for hunting. Each end has a series of small blades, each sharp enough to peirce an alien queen's armored skin. It stands nearly 7 feet and only strong and skilled preds can use these without trouble.

Guns and weapons that can be thrown:

1. Ghoulder Cannon: This weapon is located on the feft shoulder. It is controled by the yautja through it's helmet. it fires a blast of plasma that ranges 1000 feet. This weapon is highly effective .

2. Plasma pistol: Plasma pistol is very common, basicly like any sidearm, this pistol fires plasma simular to the shoulder cannon.

3. Burner: Much like a flamethrower, this weapon is very useful against xenomorphs, shotting fire hotter then napalm.

4. Net Gun: net guns are used to restrain prey, cutting deep into thier skin if a yautja desides he wants it to by remote.

5. Razor Disc: This weapon is used to take down multibul targets, following target prey do to it's small computer inside. When acctivated, it can cut through any substance.

6. Spear Gun: Spear guns fire harpoon type objects, able to rapid fire or single fire.

Bombs:

1. Self Destrut Device: These are used to blow up anything inside a 4 block radious, encluding the yautja that activated it. It's used only as a last resort.

Equipment:

1. Light Armor: This armor is very waek, easily brokn by any powerful force. All though, it allows the wearer speed. It is equiped with gauntlets, light chestplating, groan pretection and light lower leg protection.

2. Mediun Armor: This is the standard yautja armor, precting most of the body.

3. Heavy Armor: This armor is very dense and covers the enitre body.

4. Helmet: This protects all of the head. It is also used to control the wrist blades and shoulder cannon. It's primary use is for filtering breathable air for yautjas.

5. Medkit: Med kit carrys the tools need for healing wounded yautjas.

6. Cloaking device: This is the standard yautja camo, used to hide them selves from the the unaware prey. This device bends light, revealing only a slight fragment of its self. Prey usually thinks of it as a merouge. (Spelling?)

1. Predator is forbidden to kill anything unarmed or weak.

2. If a yautja challenges another, they must accept or risk showing weakness or shame.

3. Predator must pledge his life to the hunt.

4. Predator must not cower during hunts, or risk shameing or showing weakness.

5. Predator must fight to the bitter end, or be shamed in the after life.

This hunt is meant to bring an unblooded to the path of a blooded. In this hunt, a honored and a few blooded will take a group of unblooded most of the time 7 or so to a planet choosen by clan leader. there, they seed the planet with one of the deadliest creature in the universe. The xenomorphs. From there, the unblooded will face off with the xenomorphs to prove them selves. if they are too survive, they will be rewarded with the symbol of the clan leader. All unblooded will train since childhood to prepare for this deadliest of hunts.

(It doesn't really describe the yautja culture in the novels and on websites because they prefer to hide any signs of their race. So I'll just tell you what I know.)

Yautjas are a proud race of worriors, each skilled and strong. these pres are very advanced in tchnology and evolution. Yautja's believe that once dead, The black worrior will take them. It all really depends on what the yautja was like, if the yautja was skilled, and died in combat, it will be taken to paridise. If the yautja violated the code of the worrior, they will be branded as an animal in the after life.

The yautjas are highly intelligent, able to create higly advance equipment and are easilly one of the smartest aliens in the universe. They have all the intellect we do, but are much more able to use it.

- - -


Yautjas are strong, able to lift a human by the neck several inches off the ground. They also posses raw power to rip the spine out of a man, which they will mostly use as trophies. They aquire this strength from years of training. Some preds are even able to overpower some xenomorphs, but that's extremely hard to achieve.

Yautjas love too hunt xenomorphs and humans, due to the xeno's strength, primal rage, large numbers and they are very easy to spread. They hunt humans because they are intelligent and fire back rather then melee. It is considered a "sin" to hunt humans when not blooded.
