All the time xeno cult has anyway been human, which does make a lot of sense since the aliens franchises have been mostly about xeno and human. However what about a xeno cult founded by Predators, I don't know if this idea smart or dumb. I think it would be pretty cool, it brings up a lot of possibilities.

I actually kinda dig the idea, a self loathing pro xeno clan.

And they could have a form of government where they will protest against hunting and killing xenomorphs.

But in all seriousness I have felt like Predators are portrayed that way already. With the EU and video games always showing Predators captivating the Aliens to breed and hunt them. I feel like there's a mutual respect and slightly worshipy vibe there.

I can see you there but I would to see the cult act like dead space, were hunter go out in the star to search new host for the xenomorph hive.

Don't they already do that though?

Hence why the predators used the humans in AVP. In AVP 2010 the world was a yautja hunting world, so they had to get humans to breed them.

Also, most of their statues and relics resemble the xenomorph in some way.

good point, they also put egg in this some sort of bug machine and then the machine will go to some planet and lays some eggs... I didn't think this though

But I do see what you're saying, maybe there is a Predator cult that are overly obsessive and want to control them like how humans do.

Or your dead space analogy, where after a while the people go crazy and begin to sacrifice things just to stay alive.

I like to think there is, Predator do largely respect the Xeno, there is bound to be that one Who would eventually go overboard.

Agreed.

And applying it to the thread, if the Predators killing a few Aliens now allows them to spread much farther later, who's really got the upper hand in the relationship?

The aliens but most Predators clan would probably disapprove of this behavior and labeled them as bad blood and heretics

If anything this just proves why the alien is far superior than the predator. You don't see aliens worshipping anyone.

No, I meant that the general Predator culture being (at least in some media) set up around revering the Alien as the ultimate hunt and breeding them endlessly only benefits the Alien on a long enough timescale.

Oh, wow I am misunderstanding a lot of things recently. And you are correct on that one, like in the xenomorph Queen sacrifice one of the normal eggs to see the the Queen egg in the comic... am I right?

What if the assassin Predator was a xeno cult member and when he was near death from fighting people, sacrifice himself a facehugger. The Chest burster will take all the DNA the assassin predator has injected in terms of making it a  either  a xeno abomination or a stronger predalien with some appearance adjustments

You might need to rewrite that one, can't quite work out what you're saying.

This sounds like super dumb power scaling stuff, just like Assassin himself, but I do not hate it.

How can I make it better?

Not do it.

Ok

While not a cult full of Predators per se, the AVP movie had the ancient human culture using sacrificial maidens on the predator's behalf as part of a pact or worhip thing. Don't know if any of predator's themselves had any reverence for the aliens but assuming they had atleast helped build that pyramid, there is lots of art, statues etc of the Alien throughout the structure. Maybe the humans worshiped them too as part of their worhip of the preds.

Likely the predators were just using human ignorance and superstition to get them to consent to being hosts for their preferred quarry.
