In my own universe, I see the Predators as we have people on earth....hear me out.
On earth we are separated by countries/states. I imagine Predators are separated by planets, moons, whatever have you (As I see multiple Predator worlds and then being more expansive).
None two Clans are alike, maybe similar, but not exactly the same. I imagine there are large clans, almost like empires with their own caste system as we saw in AVP. There are probably loners, small clans (P2), misfits (Predators), and a variety of other Yautja - Some being Rebels (BadBloods or Space Pirates).
The point is I believe all these options exist simultaneously and they aren't subject to one homeworld but rather a complex Yautja society all varying from each other, much as the people of this planet are all human but none two cultures are exactly alike and even deeper than that, within a specific culture none two persons are alike either--same goes for (my interpretation) Yautja.

Nay.
But if they had to defend the homeworld, I could see all the Yautja clans coming together for a common cause. I'd visualize their clans much like the interesting tribe system featured in "Black Panther" except without a king, maybe just a council that will meet only if a call for concern demands it. They could notify each other like the "Lord of the Rings" beacons of Gondor, mountain top fires lit alerting that assistance was needed. All other times, the Yautja clans just keep to themselves.
It's cool just thinking about it.
Good comparision with the clans of Black Panther. Can also imagine them joining forces to defend places that hold singificance for their entire race. A home world, or if they don't have one anymore sacred sites or something like that.
It is cool. Now i wish i had made a thread to speculate about predator society

That does beg the question how to react to a threat too powerful for a Pred clan to handle, engineers being the prime candidate.

I doubt that was meant for hunting prey.Quote from: Xenomrph on Dec 09, 2018, 06:54:36 PM
I'm okay with it. In fact, the topic comes up in the comic book 'AvP: Duel', and the video game AvP: Extinction.
I don't remember it in Duel. Duel was also the first appearance of the Predalien ,right? I know it was in Extinction. Propably some of my least favorite unit designs in the game
