predator (character)

The titular alien species from the Predator Sci-Fi/Horror Action film series. They also appear in the Alien vs. Predator franchise.

The Predators, collectively known as the Yautja, are an extraterrestrial race of technologically advanced hunters who are equipped with special weaponry designed for melee and ranged combat. They have a very strict code of honor and a very advanced, yet traditional and almost tribal civilization and culture.

The creatures were designed by the late Sci-Fi special effects artist Stan Winston during the 1980s.
