The Yautja, otherwise known as The Predator

(please log in to view the image)

Now there's a face a mother could love.

The Predator pwned both Arnold and Danny Glover back in the day and is by far one of the most badass monsters in Sci-fi history.

So here's to the intergalactic trophy hunter.

The Yautja are a hunting race from the furthest reaches of the universe. The males of the species live for the thrill of the hunt.
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 Armour is made out of Vy'drach, which lives on the infernal deserts of the predator's home world, 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.
The Yautja race is not sexually dimorphic, which means the males and the females are the same size around 7 feet tall. They are 113.3 to 124.7 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. Whether this is natural or because of the Yautja have a treatment for it is unknown.
The Yautja muscular structure is in construction quite similar to that of humans.
The reason Yautja are much stronger is due 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. This is because of the Yautja 3-part heart.
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 then humans.

Very little is known about the Yautja nervous system; but it is speculated to be similar to that of humans, despite having much faster reflexes.

Male Yautja hunt and in that case some people say they are predators. When a male Yautja is ready for its first hunt it is a unblooded predator. When a unblooded predator completes a hunt it is marked and is now a young predator. A predator has better hunting gear the higher rank it is. When the predator proves itself worthy enough, the elder will present the predator The Combistick which, to their culture is a very rare item. Other rare items include stronger plasmacasters, the laser-guided smart disc, and Razor whip.

Wolf is by far the most pwnsome Predator to ever be spawned. HE took on the Predalien, and was whooping it's ass, showing him to be a sort of Juggernaut among his own people, seeing as how a regular Predator was easily dispatched.

He meant physically.

In a fist fight, the Governator couldn't even harm it.

Same with Danny.
