(UPDATE: turns out young bloods by definition dont have their fist kills yet. "Adolescent yautja comprise the ranks of the Youngbloods, those that have not yet been Blooded with their first kill. Still seen as 'Predator children' ready to embark on their first Hunt to become fully accepted into the clan proper as an adult." So I may remove the young blood as an option not sure.) Hello my friends! Though the rank of Feral is not specified anywhere my rank for him would be definitely blooded, though I thought I would ask here what others think his rank is? He is an experienced hunter in combat. Even killing a bear when another blooded predator in the comics could not. Although he has not hunted on Earth before, he has fought on other planets and claimed at least the trophy skull that he forged into his bio-mask. Which may be a River Ghost, which is considered a blooded rank kill much like Xenomorphs.
So my opinion based on his hand to hand combat experience and the fact he killed more individuals than any other predator on screen, that he is at least Blooded rank. He is too experienced to be a young blood. Young blood predators, at least in the lore generally do not hunt alone or unsupervised.
Usually hunting in a group, not to mention he already has a notable kill for his bio mask. I also think it's more of a fighting style preference/cultural thing to fight multiple opponents head on with melee weapons. Even Jungle Hunter would end up wounded. In fact it is considered more honorable and prestigious to kill with non ranged weapons, so it could just be his choice to earn more respect. Let me know your thoughts and thank you. Added note: Please try to look at this objectively, despite whatever your feelings of the design of the predator or the film are.
