Predalien

The Predalien is the result of a Facehugger impregnating a Yautja, or, in rare cases, of genetic experimentation.

Fan opinions on it's appearance range from approval to total hatred. Some believe that the Predator's fleshy dreadlocks should not have been included, as Xenomorphs seem to retain more of their host's skeletal structure than their flesh. Some even argue that the mandibles should not have been included, effectively rendering the Predalien a stronger, bulked-up version of the human-incubated Drones.

The AVP games have, however, shown a creature more in touch with it's Predator host than with other Xenomorphs: complete with large mandibles, a heavily-built physique, and dreadlocks - even going so far as to shorten the elongated head, and apparently remove the inner set of jaws. It is light brown, much like the skin color of the Predators.

The Predalien's status as a non-Canon caste is debatable. A Chestburster was seen at the end of the Alien vs. Predator movie, emerging from the Predator "Scar". It possessed mandibles, and was shown to have grown into a Predalien in the sequel. Of course, many fans seem to question whether the movie itself is Canon, due to poor reviews. Alien vs. Predator takes place many, many years before Alien, and the Predalien is most certainly dead from a nuclear explosion.

In Alien vs Predator: Requiem, the Predalien is a Queen that uses her mouth like a Facehugger to implant multiple chestbursters into a host at once. (At least four.)

It skinned the Predator in a deleted scene from the film, like a Predator skins a human.

It appeared to have no acidic blood.

In the game, the Predalien is not able to headbite. However, in Aliens vs. Predator 2: Primal Hunt, it is capable of using it's mandibles to instantly crush and consume the head of a foe. (It is likely that this addition was made due to the fact that the Predalien is the only class playable in the single-player campaign, and headbiting restores a large amount of health, far more than from simply clawing at a corpse.)

In Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction, the Predalien has a reddish exoskeleton, and the ability to secrete growth hormones during battle, making it molt and become more powerful.
