I know that Perry's Yautja also had acute senses.. Such as being able to pick up smells that human olfactory senses weren't able to pick up, being able to hear things more acutely... Do Lebbon's "Yautja" have such senses which they use on the Hunt?
Not much was explored on their other senses.
But their sense of sight, from what you see on the films you would assume it's not as acute. In the book however, Yautja are able to see small details you'd think they would easily miss.
Like Kalakta knew that Harrigan had "dark skin", despite in the film Harrigan shown bright red like any other human.
And Hashori was able to notice
Spoiler
Lilliya's blood wasn't as "thick" while she was torturing her. She was able to tell human and Synthetic blood apart.
But the main thing that's explored is their intelligence. Out of all the Predators in the eu, these must be the brainiest hunters. They build and modify their own ships individually, clans build the same tech independently without trading or sharing knowledge, technology actually progresses "incredibly quickly" AND they are too stubborn to let humans beat them at certain things like cloaking so they improve very quickly, almost a week later your "top gear" is now obsolete by new and improved Yautja tech.
And I forgot to mention something, do you remember the Disc Master in AvP Extinction? The upgrade gives you a "Nanovibronic Edge" for your disk, remember?
Funny thing is... Lebbon's Yautja use "Nanovibronic Blades". Now, I searched up the word and lots of Predator results pop up... interesting. Maybe Lebbon stumbled upon the word during his research and figured it sounded sexy so he adopted it?

Quote from: Guan Thwei 1992 on Nov 23, 2015, 05:12:31 PMThe Xenopedia wiki uses the abhorrent "e-wat-ya"... where they got that from, I have no idea.
Supposedly Steve Perry clarified that as the correct pronunciation in an interview.
Really?
I checked the "Ask Steve Perry" thread and he specifically said "Ya-oot-cha".
