| - Aside from their repeated conflicts with humans, the Predators have notably been associated with the Xenomorphs (Aliens), leading to the extensive Alien vs. Predator franchise, including the films Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). The Predators have also featured heavily in numerous literature and video game spin-offs, including crossovers with other well-known franchises. The Predators are a sentient, humanoid race that breathe an atmosphere similar to that of Earth's, but possess a level of technological advancement far in excess of anything available to humans. The Predators stalk and kill their prey using a combination of highly advanced technology, such as active camouflage and energy weapons, and traditional ancient weapons, such as blades, spears and nets. The Predators often ritualistically mutilate their victims and usually claim their quarry's skull as a trophy. Capable of interstellar travel in star ships, the Predators have hunted on Earth for centuries and have also had prior contact with the Engineers. The have been known to deliberately breed Xenomorphs in order to hunt them, often as part of initiation rituals for young Predators. The Predator was designed by Stan Winston after the first creature made for the film Predator proved unsatisfactory. Winston has repeatedly credited director and friend James Cameron for coming up with the Predator's distinctive mandibles when Cameron suggested them to him on a flight they were taking together. The Predator franchise also expanded into video games, including the 1994 beat-em-up by Capcom, Aliens VS Predator. Predator finally makes his fighting game debut in Mortal Kombat X (2015).
