Every Predator has contributed to the Yautja species' deadly reputation, but a handful stand out as named characters. Here are the very best!

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Predators have made a name for themselves throughout the cosmos as perhaps the greatest hunters in existence, and they’ve done so collectively as an entire species. Yet even amid a race of unparalleled killers, there’s still room for individuals to shine.

12 Pig Iron, Splitter, and Hook Close These three Yautja can comfortably be grouped into one entry, given they worked exclusively as a team in Alien vs Predator: Thicker Than Blood. That’s because these three Yautja are directly related, as Pig Iron and Splitter are brothers, and Hook is their father.

While there were no physical attributes that led to his name , it can be surmised that it has to do with his proven skills as a hunter, as shown in his many AvP appearances since his debut.

3 The Rakshasa/Spring-Heeled Jack A lone Yautja terrorizing people in India and England in the nineteenth century, Rakshasa was perhaps one of the more infuriatingly illusive Predators on this list. Debuting in Predator: Nemesis by Gordon Rennie and Colin MacNeil, this Yautja operated in a manner akin to the fabled Spring-Heeled Jack from English folklore , as the Predator was a ‘devil-like’ figure who leapt from rooftop-to-rooftop, terrifying English citizens .
