There really isn't a consolidated "lore manual" like that in this franchise, although Fox purportedly kept one in-house for any projects being developed (more likely a list of "do-nots" than anything else).
You could certainly infer that from the film, but there's nothing to suggest that the predators have a homogenous culture like that. On the contrary, what we see in each of the movies seems to indicate quite a diversity it appearance and customs, etc.
Maybe this particular clan plays things that way, while others do their own thing, just like hunting clubs or sporting codes among humans.
Sometimes the first post, is also the best post.

I wasn't talking about this discussion, more of "the canon" (for those interested in such things).
You said you were answering the OP - "Short answer to the OP's question: in the Predator franchise, no. In the AvP franchise, it's possible?"
Since the AvP and Predator movies are in the same universe, and the OP brought up lore, not license canon, it's my hope to see these conversations flourish and subsequently encouraged, not boxed by licensing restrictions. That's the dream.

Definitely agree that Predators don't have a homogeneous culture - it's one of the things I like most about them.
Come on... you're not being fair Xenomrph. What Gaska is talking about is licensing... i.e. if you shell out money to use the Predator license but not pay for AvP nor Alien licensing, that is what you're allowed to get into.
But in this discussion, it is 100% "allowed".

Maybe the City Pred made his own, which would explain why it looks so different.
I like its design. Wish it was refferenced more. Creators tend to stick to JH's one. I mean, come on - CH is on the same level with original if not surpasses him
