Yautja

The Yautjas, known colloquially as the Predators, are a more ruthless and evil extraterrestrial species that is characterized by all the trophies of hunting other all the dangerous species for sport, terror, murder and honor, including humans and xenomorphs.

Much more is known about the Hish-Qu-Ten is currently the evolution of all Yautjas, which are believed to have originated on a high-temperature planet known simply as "Yautja home world".

However, during her experience with the species, Dr. Maya Bergstrom created several elaborate theories about the origins of the yautja species. He theorized that the yautja he met was on a pilgrimage to his own, driven by the instinct to return to the world of his species of origin, since, according to his theory, all the yautjas were descendants of primitive precursor aliens called the Hish-Qu-Ten. that they had somehow been removed from their planet by a higher intelligence to realize their evolutionary potential of the strongest monster.

The Hish-Qu-Ten that evolved on a warmer swampy planet would explain Yautja's ability to eat terrestrial plants and animals, but would not explain his need for a different atmospheric composition. The species identification is consistent with the combination of reptilian and extraterrestrial traits, such as a preference for tropical temperatures and the fact that females often (though not always) have breasts.
