Deathstroke isnt soloing a damn thing
Information on the Predator
Yautja - Physiology. Physically, the Yautja are bipedal organisms not unlike humans, although they typically are much taller (over two metres) and more athletically built. Yautja possess seemingly superhuman physical capabilities, with great strength and agility well beyond that of even the finest human athlete. The tissues of their bodies are more resilient, and they can endure physical trauma that would severely injure human
Thermographic vision to 2000'. See the invisible through thermographic vision. In Predator 2, when the Yuatja loses his mask his vision, it is not like the first Yuatja we encountered in respects to his vision does not go completely red. Vision is always different for different people. Maybe this Yautja was slightly colorblind, or being a slightly different clan (like humans have Caucasians and Asians) gives him different vision. They breathe 1% more oxygen, and 4% more nitrogen than humans. They can adapt to earth's natural gases, but it could only last for one week at the most. If Dr. Bergstrom is correct on her theory (Predator: Homeworld), this could be because this is what the atmosphere was like on Earth millions of years ago. They can hold their breath for several minutes. Can jump to three times their height, and can fall ten times their height and land on their feet. Predators can imitate the speech/sounds of other species, but do not necessarily understand the meaning of what they say. They often imitate voices of the species they are hunting to fool or terrify their prey. They do pick up languages quickly, however without formally studying the language as a secondary skill. They can hear a whisper up to 50 feet away. Impervious to heat (boiling water gets uncomfortable after five minutes), invulnerable to electricity and to radiation. They are fast enough to dodge bullets, if they see them coming and can, because of their tough hides, shrug off most small-caliber bullets.
Yautja are best classified as mammal-like reptiles; this means that they are warm-blooded creatures with a reptilian appearance, usually referred to as therapsids, which may hint at a synapsid evolution. Yautja are adapted to warm climates and can with stand temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).
Although Yautja are warm-blooded, they cannot live in a cold climate. If an unprotected Yautja were to be exposed to temperatures below 10°C (50°F) it would probably die within a few hours.
In the game Alien vs. Predator: Extinction, the spear master's armor is made out of Vy'drach, which lives on the infernal deserts of Yautja Prime, surviving heat and radiation strong enough to bake most life forms. If the predator kills the Vy'drach, its hide is made into armour that absorbs heat, plasma and acid to a degree. Depending on the clan female and male Yautja are normally the same size sometimes the females are larger and sometimes the males are larger. The average heights are between 7.5 and 8.5 feet. (2.28 to 2.59m) They are 250 to 350lbs [113.3 to 158.7 kgs] average, most of which is purely muscle.
The Yautja circulatory system can be divided in to 3 circulations:
- 1. From the heart to the lungs
- 2. From the heart to the body
- 3. From the heart to the brain
In the Yautja circulatory system the brain has a separate circulation. This allows for a higher blood pressure in the rest of the body without damaging the fine network of blood vessels in the brain. This allows the Yautja to live with blood pressures that would normally kill a human.
The ability to create and survive such high blood pressure has certain advantages. The blood can be transported through the body faster and thus oxygen and other nutrients are transported quicker and waste products are removed faster.
This special circulatory system is part of why Yautja are so strong. It allows the organs and muscles to work harder and thus increase the muscles capacity.
The Yautja 5-part heart consists of 2 auricles and 3 ventricles. The blood is pumped from the right side of the heart (seen on the left of the heart schematic in blue) through the lungs. From there it goes back to the heart and into the left auricle (seen on the right of the heart schematic in green). From here it goes in to the 2 ventricles that are connected to it. One pumps it into the body and the other pumps it into the brain at a much lower pressure. When the blood has gone through the body and the brain it goes back to the right side of the heart and the cycle starts again.
The Yautja skeleton is stronger than our own, although the material it's made of isn't stronger than the material our own bone is made of. The yautja skeleton is stronger however because of its firm build. The bones are much thicker than our own and also much more compact which makes them heavier.
Yautja don't seem to have the problem of calcification which makes bones more fragile. This is partially because the oxygen rich blood allows the bones to reinforce their structure naturally, and also because their body uses more carbon in making the bone which makes it just as flexible as, and stronger than, human bone tissue, but about 3-4 times more dense and 5-6 times more heavy.
The reason Yautja are much stronger is due partially to the fact that the muscles have a much more efficient nutrient and waste product transport, as well as the much higher gravity on there home planet, And that the muscle fibers are prismoidal and triangular as opposed to a humans round muscle fibers. This makes more muscle able to fit in the same amount of space, and due to the larger size attributes to the greater strength.
The greater strength is also created by the higher percentage of muscular tissue per kg of body weight and the fact that Yautja are bigger than humans.
The Yautja nervous system is almost a replica of human nerves other than DNA and a few structural changes. The nerves use a form of organic fiber optics that allow chemical and electrical signals to travel at speeds up to 20 times faster than a human. Also instead of remaining relatively close enough for signals to take place, the nerve endings grow past eachother and intertwine, allowing for much faster communication.
An interesting thing of the Yautja is their unique DNA structure. Instead of a double helix, The yautja have a triple helix dna form. the advantages and disadvantages of this are unknown. Also instead of 4 base pairs like humans, they have 5 base pairs in their DNA. These differences may have unknown advantages or disadvantages.
The Yautja breathe 35% more oxygen and 15% more hydrogen than humans due to their larger muscle and metabolism requirements. Due to adverse climates and terrains on their homeworld when evolution was still to be made they evolved the ability to breathe hydrogen and a limited amount of carbon dioxide if there is a lack of oxygen in the air. But like humans, they have a limit of about a half an hour before their bodies can no longer function without oxygen, and a limited time of 10 minutes of breathing carbon dioxide. This allows them to survive in adverse climates on many worlds with limited supplies. Also due to a larger lung capacity, as an average, Yautja can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes before losing conciousness, where as a human would be unconcious in 2 minutes. So a supposed maximum of time before a Yautja would need to breath again would be just under 45 minutes.
The Yautjan society is made up of different classifications, including blooded and un-blooded. Their caste includes:
- Unblooded - About 25% of male yautja are unblooded. This means that the Yautja have no distunguishable kills amongst their race, Such as killing a Xenomorph. Once a Yautja kills a Xenomorph and collects it's head as trophy, they become blooded. All unblooded are children too young to safely hunt for xenomorphs, or they simply have not had the chance to battle a xenomorph yet.
- Blooded - About 45% of male yautja are blooded. These are warriors who have gained the clan symbol upon their forehead after their first successful Xenomorph hunt.
- Retirees - About 10% of male yautja are retirees, yautja who have fought their time and now are too old and honoured to hunt. Females come under this section due to their roles as mothers and the driving force behind the homeworlds natural waysand systems.
- Huntsmaster - Huntsmaster's are often leaders in their clan, and are only elevated to the caste of huntsmaster once they have aqcuired a queen xenomorph skull. About 15% of Yautja are Huntsmasters. Huntsmasters often become retirees after a few decades.
- Clan Leader - Clan leaders are only made by the Adjudicators decision. The only way to become a clan leader is to clean out and entire Xenomorph hive larger than 300 members in population with a maximum of two others. When this has been proven, the three (or less) Yautja all become clan leaders. They become the forefathers of that clan and will repopulate with Females of their choosing. In Order to be elligable for the trials of a hive cleansing, each member of the trio must have at least 3 Queen skull trophies. After this point, any hive cleansings that the forefathers complete will give the clan greater honor and standing in the caste system. Clan leaders comprise 5% of the Yautja society.
- Adjudicators - The adjudicators are the admin and law yautja. They are world leaders and the ruling fist in the overall scheme of the Yautja culture. Less than 1% of Yautja are adjudiucators, due to their massive worldly role. At this point they simply no longer have time to hunt anymore off planet, but often foray into the underground contained hunting grounds where younger hunters train in order to lend experience to the young ones. Adjudicators are always the leaders of a clan, And no adjudicators have ever risen to that position without first having completed at least five hive cleansings.
- Bad Bloods - These are the criminal yautja whom have been sentenced to death and escaped. Their justice system shows that crime is very low. About 2% of yautja are bad bloods. In Predator: Concrete Jungle on the Playstation 2, Bad Bloods were also predators captured by humans and brainwashed. They met honorable deaths by their clan brother, the main predator in the game.
