STILL SIMPING FOR THE PREDATOR! Predator 2 (1990) Movie Reaction

The pistol served 2 purposes. It was a "trophy" for Harrigan, for killing one of them in hand to hand combat, and a message, "We've been here before, we'll be back again."

Not gonna lie, I love how much you love the predator as a character.

The Predator didn't kill Leona, because it would have had to kill the fetus in the process. She was worthy prey, but the fetus was so defenseless that it would have been a completely dishonorable kill. The point of giving Harrigan the pistol was to acknowledge him as a hunter. Basically, he earned a legendary weapon as a token of their respect.

I think this is probably the most underrated movie in the Predator franchise. IMO it's pretty much on a level with the original Predator. I love how the setting and characters are so different from the setting and characters in the original, and yet there are so many parallels between them. As far as the predator sparing the life of the pregnant Leona goes... I don't think it was about her not being a threat, or about the predator having a heart. Hunters typically try not to kill pregnant or young animals (or mothers with young who can't yet fend for themselves) because they want those young to grow up and keep the population from dwindling due to over-hunting. I always figured it's the same thing going on here.

Game recognizes game. The pack leader gave the winner (Harrigan), a trophy for taking out one of their own, as well as a sign of respect.

That gun has a whole story behind it in a comic. That same predator was in a hunt on earth and choose a pirate captain to be his prey. The captain was a man of principle and had one rule, never steal from a church. His crew tried a mutany and steal the money of a church and the captain fought against his crew, the predator, for the fear of losing his prey, fought alongside the captain and beat the whole crew. When they were about to start a honorable battle, a pirate shoot the captain from the back, the predator, furious, killed that man with his plasma gun, but the captain was about to die. With his last breath the captain gave the predator his gun and told him to keep it, the predator burried the captain and threw in his balde, imitating the voice of the captain he said "keep it". And he left with that gun the captain gave him and kept it until the events of this movie.

Glad you saw the xenomorph skull. The funny thing about that was it wasn't really meant to be noticed, it was just a little Easter egg put in by the special fx/props department. That little joke gave birth to the whole Aliens vs Predator franchise. After that, Dark Horse comics ran with the idea, coming out with a few very acclaimed series. Then games and movies.

One of the most underrated movies in history

OMG, the hat with the "Scar" symbol and the awesome pullover sweater! 😭💖 I love it. I am also a huge simp for the Predator, so I'm happy to see someone else enjoying these movies as much as me. Thank you so much for this reaction. You're giving me life. 🙏🏻

I think the King Willie thing is supposed to be more of a reverence thing--he's the leader of the gang, so Predator would have noticed how so many dangerous men were showing him respect. Plus, I imagine the reason Preddy was going after Danny Glover and his friends was because it saw them win that shootout at the very start, but now that you mention it the "Trying to pick a fight" explanation does make a ton of sense as well. Or maybe working its way up the food chain and saving who it thought was strongest for last?

I miss Bill Paxton ❤ He's the only actor who not only got killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph, but a Predator as well. What a trooper 😭

Yes!!! I have seriously been wondering WHEN this was coming!! lol! So happy youre reacting to this movie, this one was my favourite. Super stoked!!

Cool Kacee. You got to see how they connected this movie to Prey with the old Flint Lock pistol. And the Alien skull Easter Egg on the ship.

Kacee: "I've been falling in the love with the predator not like that, but the predator movies" sure kacee what ever you say LOL.

What a fun reaction to a fun movie! Lol to be fair preddy is one of the most badass cinematic creations made for movies it was a magical time when Hollywood used to come up with these ideas... Great reaction you guys are super fun to watch.. keep up the great reactions. Best wishes from the u.k👍

I've waited for this reaction 🤣 Glad you reacted to it.

This Predator sequel is criminally underrated happy to see you reacting to this. Yes it is a respect thing at 36:50

I’m not good at English, but... I think this movie is my favorite in the Predator franchise. I really like the direction, the rhythm, how the actor delivers the desperation and performance of facing the Predator, how the scenes were thought out in these moments, how the film advances and improves in some senses from the previous one, making it less dated in how it presents itself. , also the opening of a mythology about predators, which seems like a very good universe to be explored if done well. I always wanted to know how their society works. I recommend you play some predator game too. I think there's an Alien vs Predator game that's pretty cool.

That's one of the things I've always really liked about the Predator race too, they have a definite code of honor that guides and shapes their behavior during hunts. They don't have much interest in prey that doesn't offer a sporting kill, like the sick (Weyland in AvP) or weakened (maybe not how WE'D see it, but to a Pred a pregnant woman isn't really an intimidating opponent). Doesn't mean you should just insert yourself into a Predator's affairs and intentionally get in their way, that probably won't end well for you regardless...but if you don't present yourself as a worthy target they generally don't much care about you, and if you should happen to prove yourself as a worthy hunter by their standards (for example, defeating one of their number or being otherwise honored by the clan like Alexa in AvP) they'll treat you with a measure of respect. There are several novels that came out back when these movies were all fresh and new, and I used to love reading them as I grew up. In my personal opinion, they did a better job fleshing out the lore than the last couple of movie sequels though I'll be honest: while I didn't HATE Predators or The Predator, I definitely recognize that they weren't really...good. Predators has some interesting ideas and a some cool action, including one of the more interesting human rosters...it just had its problems too. The Predator was honestly kind of schlocky, but if you're just there to watch the Preds pop the tops off some cans of wholesale whoopass, there's some cool stuff in there. AvP: Requiem wasn't...idk, it wasn't BAD. It turned up the violence/gore scale a bit beyond what the first AvP did, but while that was awesome it also felt a little like they were trying too hard at times. A number of their choices (particularly where the Aliens were concerned) came off as a bit too "shock factor" to really feel very enjoyable. Like any of the films, there's some mighty cool stuff in there...but you just have to kind of accept it as definitely not trying to win any awards for great writing or whatever. Getting to see your enthusiasm for these movies has been so much fun ever since you discovered this world through Prey! Aliens and Predators have been some of my favorite franchises and movie monsters since I was a young teenager, and it's great to get to see someone experience it for the first time and reflect some of that same excitement I used to feel when it was all new to me too. I'll admit that I'm SLIGHTLY more an Alien fan than Predator, but I wholly approve of those of us who prefer the Preds. It's all awesome, and I'm glad you got to join the fandom. I won't lie, I'm a little jealous of that badass hat, lol.

Harrigan walking in and seeing Jerry getting his head ripped off always disturbed me as a kid. Like it was waiting for Harrigan to witness it.

This is my personal favorite predator movie

I love that she loves the Predator so much just like I do. There are a few of us ladies out there who truly love the Predator ❤

There are a lot of deleted scenes that were filmed, scripted or storyboarded but were cut: Harrigan and Leona learn that El Scorpio's body has been taken from the morgue by Keyes men for study. Harrigan does get fired from the police force after feeling guilty over Danny's murder. The City Hunter Predator kills Danny then takes his skull and spine as a trophy where he climbs up a building getting struck by lightning. This happens to Jerry later on. The City Hunter Predator follows Jerry and Leona to the subway where he jumps on the back of the train leading to the subway showdown. Keyes threatens to have Harrigan fired from the police force should he ever interfere with his crime scenes again. Jerry follows Keyes and his men from the hospital to the helipad after the take Ramon's mistress. Ramon Vega actually survives the City Hunter Predator slaughtering the Jamaicans after they ambush him in a warehouse where they try to sacrifice him. Ramon ends up in shock after what he witnessed. Ramon's mistress tells Keyes' men that it was a demon from hell that killed all the Jamaicans. Anna from the first film tells Keyes and his men that the Predator was hunting Dutch and his friends like it was a game. Keyes explains to Harrigan that Dutch escaped from an Army Hospital and hasn't been seen since the 1987 Guatamala incident. Keyes' men begins following Harrigan through the streets but the Predator is following him as well. He even walks into a taxidermy store where he touches a stuffed lion until a jogger sees it through the shop window but the Predator cloaks himself and the jogger thinks it was the heat getting to him. King Willie's death was a lot different than the final cut of the movie: He sees the Predator in a fire escape where he opens fire with a gold plated Uzi as his main weapon where he shoots, as the City Hunter Predator jumps from fire escape to fire escape. He runs out of ammo and uses a sword as his secondary weapon where the City Hunter Predator jumps 10 feet in front of him. "You can't see the eyes of the Demon..." says the Predator imitating Willie. An alternative ending was scripted but never filmed: Rather than Harrigan killing the City Hunter, it was the elder Predator Grayback who decapitates the City Hunter then gives Harrigan the Flintlock pistol before he leaves the ship and sees it fly off into the sky.

Glad you liked this one. This is my fav film. Think there are some predator comics that explain their lore and homeworld. I also would like a film based on that. Predator is so cool. Loved the reaction😜😂😎🇬🇧

The city hunter Predator felt like a serial killer in this movie

All these predators are actually part of different clans. At least at one point. There's a ton of different predators like samurai and Viking predators, primitive and futuristic ones with nano tech etc etc. Predator hunting grounds is also a great game to check out as it has basically all of them and it ties into the comics and movies

of all the movies and video game moments i wish I could forget and re experience over and over again is the original predator unmasking at the end....I remember being just mystified and horrified as a kid....such an amazing character

Great reaction Dos Cavazos! Being that it's the holiday season. I suggest a film called Bad Santa(2003) I think the both of you will enjoy it if you haven't seen it.

Predators have a high "honor code", i think this is the word you were locking for, great reaction by the way

The Yautja species operate on Honor. But I also have an opinion about why he didn't kill Leona. I think it was partly because he thought that the baby could some day grow up to be a worthy opponent. "This ship is very foggy". . . Hahaha!!! You're hilarious, Kacee.

You should definitely watch predators next! It has a lot of similarities to the 1st predator film since it's more of a homage but it's still a unique, suspenseful film.

Movie of Predator just chilling at home, feet up, eating second breakfast, watching Rick and Morty mimicking Rick the whole time. Yeah, thatd be a good time lol

The old lady has my favorite line: ''I don't think he gives a shit!''

What I love of about Harrigan is that he didn't have a plan, he didn't even really have some special insight, he just didn't give a damn. Alien are not, he came to throw hands, and he came to win.

It's awesome that Prey and Predators 2 connect like this. I also liked this movie too. I am a huge fan of the Predator (and also Alien) series as well. :) Hopefully we have another Predator movie where there is more cooperation between humans and Predators.

Fun fact. Danny Glover asked the LA Lakers to be in this movie. They were the other predators on the ship since the role required very tall men. Mr Hall played the Predator again in this film, and was the “elder” that gives Harrigan the gun. The “elder predator” costume is actually the original suit from the 1987 film, but they aged it.

Great reaction! I love your pure love for the Predator. I saw this film in the theater when I was 15, and I loved it!! I thought that the ending was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, because of the world-building aspect. I really got a sense of how expansive the Predator's world was and also how long their species has been hunting on an interstellar scope. I might add that the story mostly wasn't confusing at all for audiences back in the day. Current audiences are used to every bit of a character mythos being spoon-fed to them with no loose ends to speak of. It used to not be that way. The typical viewer was trained to make inferences. For instance, when the Chief Yautja gives the gun to Danny Glover, we all assumed that it was out of respect for human-kind as a whole (across time and irregardless of cultural difference). I remember asking myself, "What other historic situations, settings, and cultures has the Predator species ritualistically hunted in?" Japan? Africa? The field seemed wide open. The Director of "Predator 2" was smart to seed little bits of the Predator lore throughout the film. It's as if they gave us the first part of the sentence and the audience was left to finish the sentence with our imagination.

Explosion goes off and reactor says "Is it the Predator?" Wtf! As Yondu might say..."It's Mary Poppins y'all" 😂😂😂

"I want him to get away, for once, PLEASE." Sadly, only if you play AS the Predator in the AvP games. Then you can live out your fantasy as top of the food chain! 'sigh' Man I miss those games.

21:31 "but are we gonna get to see him, like his face go, like, 'Meh!'" HAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAAA!!!!

Paxton the only that met predator, alien and terminator. Legend ever. Greatness

Whether or not any given Predator follows the "rules" the species seem to have is dependant. After all, not everyone is going to follow the rules and some will break them. For example, the one in Prey is notable for actually breaking several rules established in the other films. It just so happens that this one is fine with leaving the young alone... after all, that's how you make sure they grow up to be a better hunt in a few years

Predator: 'Is she gregnant, or is she OK?'

I'm so glad you got to see this one. Because of the subway scene I knew you were looking for a reason to root for the predator more. And I figured you'd like the predator seeing she was pregnant and the kid with the toy gun. How they differentiate threat. The baby is unarmed and can't defend itself. So in killing her he'd kill the baby which is an unhonorable kill. So his punishment would be death or exile. Only to be hunted down as prey by other Yautja. The elders and the other predators watch his hunt. Like a live feed back to the ship. So if he does anything wrong on a hunt the others will have questions. Like why didn't you check if the gun was a toy? Why didn't you check if she was pregnant. "As predators on the homeworld run as a matriarchy pretty much" and they regard motherhood as sacred. So they will knock out a pregnant being instead of killing it. Incapacitated means no threat. It went after king willy because it observed. It saw all these men led back to king willy. All dressed similarly. Saw his concealed sword and how danny glovers character was shoveled around by this guy. So the predator did two things. One issued a challenge to glover. And two, got to fight melee, and melee battles are sacred fights. Thus, skull troohy just like Billy and the ranger in this movie. Because he went out using a machete. And yeah, if you kill a predator they others will respect it and give you a trophy. They are fully honor bound. From either a previous hunt or a trade of trophy's. Glad to watch a reactors that roots for the predator like I do.

The predator usually gets away, as Anna revealed in the first Predator, talking about how sometimes they come to her country when it gets hot, and make trophies of men. These movies are just the few times the predator lost, but the rest of the species still comes in and collects the body and technology, if it wasn't destroyed. I liked that this movie added new vision modes for the predator, because of course such advanced technology wouldn't only have one vision mode. However, they did screw up when the predator's mask came off in this one, and it still saw in infrared, not the full red motion-based vision from the first movie, when that predator took off its mask to fight Arnold. They gave him the pistol as a trophy because it was human technology, so it didn't break their rule about letting alien technology fall into another species' hands.

The reasons behind why a predator (Yautja) chooses to kill or not kill is 100% based on honor. There is more lore than is explained in the films very clearly that explains how this works. The Yautja hunt to become the most efficient hunters/killers in the galaxy. You can't really do that if you're just shooting fish in a barrel. The greater the threat, the greater honor gained from the kill and more knowledge to make them more efficient. Skinned and hung prey show low/no honor in the kills and they served more out of necessity. When the Yautja takes a skull, it means the prey gave them a challenge and allowed them to gain honor either from difficulty or by standing their ground. This also feeds into why they won't shoot prey that don't have projectile weapons, or kill anything that is unarmed. There is zero honor in it and the rest of the clan is watching the hunt. Their actions are being observed both for the purpose of honor, and for the other Yautja to learn. This is why the predator in the first film fought Dutch hand to hand at the end. Dutch had no armor and no weapons but was a very worthy opponent. To claim his trophy and the honor he had coming, he'd have to fight Dutch with fisticuffs. Do we humans display 5th place or participation trophies? Not typically. But we do show off 1st place trophies and college degrees and medals we've earned. This is the purpose the skulls serve from honorable kills. This particular Yautja picked Harrigan as his primary game. Everything the city hunter did in Predator 2 served to prepare and make Harrigan a more formidable and dangerous prey, earning the city hunter great honor. The Yautja at the end may or may not have respected Harrigan, but there was no reason to kill him. The hunt was over. The prey won. It was between Harrigan and the city hunter and that's it. They would have gained nothing by murdering him mindlessly. I've loved the Predator franchise for 30 years. Always great to see new fans. :) Also, sorry about the longwinded comment. I know I come off as arrogant at times with this stuff. I just can't help myself. I get so excited seeing new people get into the Predator series. Greatest extraterrestrial ever created.

This movie was my first experience when it came to the Predator series when I was a kid, and, maybe because of nostalgia, it’s probably still my favorite, including design and characteristics. When it comes to the gun, I think that it was more of a reference to the comics that focus on a variety of them, in various scenarios, and various forms. What I’m most interested in is a movie to cover their origins, but I kind of doubt that it’d ever get made. It would likely have to be a movie you had to read through the entire time, and, while I wouldn’t mind, I can’t imagine that the general audience would have that kind of patience.

You do get to see a glimpse of their home world hot planet with pyramids and all sorts of structures in Aliens v Predator: Requiem. If you watch it, watch the extended version. And be sure to turn the brightness settings up all the way on your TV because they film a lot of fight scenes hard to see in the dark. The Predator in this second AvP is my favorite. He's a seasoned hunter. Very experienced. He's known as the Wolf Predator. This movie is a DIRECT sequel to the first AvP following its events. -OG

No matter what the actual reason once the Predator confronted King Willie and king Willie drew his cane/sword. That was enough for the Predator to go into kill mode. And was virtually no contest between King Willie's little cane sword versus the Predator's forearm mounted weird double machete like Blades. The final score The Predator 10 and King Willie -110

I love a real fan. Great reaction! :)

Asking kids if they want candy is a different Predator movie staring Chris Hansan

King Willy was the leader of killers. He had to have put work in. In the killing department. And he chose to fight him and challenge him with the sword.. respect.

Found this channel from the Punisher reaction. Been binge watching a bunch of your vids since then. Loved this series in particular especially because of how much Kacee loves the Predator species.

I gotta say, it does my soul good to see how much Kacee loves the Predator. Lol

Lol i didn't even notice all the Predator Merch you're wearing at first.

"THE CLICKS! THE CLICKS!" 🤣 You are the ultimate Predator fan!

This movie grows on you. Every year I see it and can see the good movie inside this film

I love it how you love the predators! So sweet 😂❤

Yea that’s the Gun from Prey. That means that Predator was in the Predator ship that came during the credits in Prey! Yes that’s a sign of respect.

I was hoping the predator would live go back to his planet and open an artisanal candy shop and every time someone would walk in he would say "Want some candy?"

Did you see the Alien skull on the wall in the spaceship? That tiny moment is what established Alien and Predator existed in the same Universe.

Good sequel, but the original will always be the best.

GREAT REACTION KACEE!

...Its my specialty! To die from a Predator To die from a Alien To die from a Terminator The only man in history to die from the three coolest big bads ever.

BEST PREDATOR SEQUEL EVER!! MY #1 FAVORITE! ITS STILL A BADASS MOVIE! Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to be in the movie, but turned it down as he didn't like the idea of the movie taking place in the city radar than the jungle. He was also working on Terminator 2 and Total Recall at the time. Patrick Swayze and Steven Seagal were considered for the lead until Danny Glover was cast. John Lithgow was going to play Peter Keyes until Gary Busey was cast as him and Glover worked on Lethal Weapon.

Still the most accurate and best documentary on the state of modern LA I have seen in 30 years.

Love you guys reaction, both you. And your handling it also✌️. That hat is cool

"Want some candy?" 😆

As the leader of the Jamaican Voodoo posse, King Willie is the Alpha of his gang. By the way, you might want to watch Predators with Adrian Brody. It also has Samuel Jackson, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins and Alice Braga in it. Nice extra. There are some nice Easter Eggs in the predators' camp.

Lmao I just imagine Kacee tracking the predator just to meet him and try giving him stuff

They should make Predator the hero in a future space movie. Protecting humanity from Alien infestation on a colony planet.

this was a great reaction. city hunter will always be my favorite yautja. He definitely has a sense of humor

interesting fact, @8:38 Detective Lambert joins the crew (Bill Paxton) . The only actor to be killed by an Alien, a Predator, and the Terminator.

In the original story in the comics, Raphael Adolini was a captain of a pirate ship, who long story short fought side by side with the predator when there was a mutiny in his ship, after getting stabbed in the back, captain Adolini gave his pistol to the predator as a sign of respect before he died, it was a cool idea having the pistol as an Easter egg in Prey, too bad it wasn't the original story

When the Predator is cleaning off King Willy's skull and placing it on the wall, there is a Xenomorph skull on the wall just above where he mounts the skull.

Love your reactions solo. Great reaction, to a under appreciated sequel. PREDATORS w/ Adrian Brody is a must watch. AVP: Requiem is alright, but not the best. Great reaction, keep it up 👍

I really liked the lore expansion in this movie. And I'm happy to see you're reaction to it. And I agree with your Alien vs Predator opinion. That was a fun movie. I think you will enjoy Predators too.

Yautja/Predator/Hunter they have a Yautja Honor Code: they don’t kill women who are pregnant, children, unarmed person and those who have cancer and etc. If Yautja is killed by opponent they respect him or her by giving them a gift.

that gun being in Prey was a retcon, it was originally in the comics and was given from a Pirate Captain to a Predator

THANK YOU FOR REACTING To THIS FILM. 😊

Still the best predator sequel there is.

The Predator is so artisenal . Dont think I've ever heard that before in my life 😂😂

Don't know if it's because the Predator has a heart, I think it's mainly it's hunting rules. Only hunt the strongest, and not anyone weak, pregnant, or a child.

14:35 The reason why he went for King Willy is because he couldn't kill his original target. The man in the penthouse was, essentially, the most powerful drug lord in the streets, and was still winning the war in spite of losing his men to the predator and Harrigan. King Willy's men busting into his suite and killing him changed his target. Unfortunately, the Predator didn't know where King Willy was, so he had to follow Harrigan to the drug lord, and brought their faction under his gaze; the police. At the cemetery, the necklace was his formal offer for singular combat, which was also why the subway scene happened. He was taking out Harrigan's support. Also, the Predator has a code of honor; no innocents so a pregnant woman would be seen as a dishonorable kill.

The Predator to a child: “Do you want some candy?” Chris Hansen: “Why don’t you have a seat?” Predator: “No, no Chris, I was just hanging out” Chris Hansen: “I have the chat log”

I know you watched these out of order (no worries here 😀), but one of the Easter Eggs you would have missed the first time watching these in release order was the Xenomorph skull on the wall. Good catch! The comics started in 1989, but the movie wasn't until 2004, so it was definitely a slow burn for those of us stuck going to the theater. Also, the Predator doesn't kill her because letting her give birth gives him more prey to hunt in the future.

34:41 Kacee thinking like a predator XD

All 9 of the Predators at the end were unique, both their faces, markings, armor, and accessories. The older leader was based on the same molds used for the original from the first film, but all the rest were new. Peter Hall, who played the original Predator also played both the main Predator in this film and the older leader. The others were LA Lakers team members (Danny Glover is a Lakers fan)

19:38 he was the same way in Aliens, RIP Bill Paxton.🥲

The Predator disc cut right through the auto destruct mechanism. Yeah. The auto destruct canceled as a result. -OG

I cant wait for you to get to the Adrian Brody Predator where you get more of a lore about the different species

The reason the City Hunter Predator spared Leona isn't because he "didn't see her as a threat because she was pregnant". It's because killing a pregnant mother is one of the BIGGEST taboos in Predator/Yautja society. Their biggest taboos are, don't kill pregnant mothers, don't kill children, don't kill the deathly ill, don't kill the very old, and don't kill your own kind in cold blood. If you violate ANY of these taboos in Predator society, you will INSTANTLY be branded with the title "Bad Blood" and then you have two options: either turn yourself in to be ritually executed by your own clan, or go on the run, in which case they will send an Enforcer after you, and the Enforcer will make your death ANYTHING but merciful.

"mom, can you come pick me up?"😂😂😂😂😂

The novelization gives great back lore to the movie; Golden Angel/Greyback was actually fed up with City Hunter's antics and was about to send Stalker to get him. (Stalker has one of the best skin patterns in all of Predator lore; looks like a bengal tiger). But then Harrigan and CH landed on the ship. They also ruined the lore of the flintlock by shoehoring it into Prey, which really wasn't necessary. A movie about how the Golden Angel got the gun and the following hunts he went on would make a fantastic movie.

I think he went after king Willie because he saw that he was a leader.

Watch Alien vs Predator Requiem. You will love it. Most of the audiences hate that movie, but me, as someone who roots for "Predy" as well, I never get bored of it. Along with the original 1987 Predator, these 2 movies are the only ones in the whole franchise that treated our favourite character with the respect it deserves.

I love that Kacee simps for the Predator. LOL 😍

Hunters always leave pregnant pray alone, it’s considered poor handling of natural resources that will endanger a species in the future.

One of the rules of the presator's code of honor is if the prey is pregnant he can't kill it. The code also says only hunt the apex predator of the planet and if it can fight back. So they can't kill sick prey either. If the prey asks for a challenge the predator is forced to accept the challenge in equality of conditions. Meaning no guns except by the knives they carry on their arms, if they has some as well. Escape from a hunt is seen as a cowardy act and punishable with death. The predators rather die in battle or during a hunt at the hands of worthy prey than escape to live. That's why some of them carry bombs and only activate them when they are defeted. If a prey manages to succed in one of the presator's hunts, or beats another predator in honorable combat, the rest will see that prey as one of them. Meaning, if you have a successful hunt or beat a predator, you are considered one yourself. The code of honor is amazing when you get to know it.
