Radical to me as far as the creature itself is not being able to tell immediately what it is. Predator has a few very specific design decisions.
- 4 mandibles (one or more may be damaged or missing but it must be from combat)
- Dreadlocks
- Some form of facial protection commonly being an armored mask or an exoskeletal structure like bones or thick hide
- Physically humanoid in body shape, essentially that a human could physically portray them without CGI. No holes in the body structure, it's someone in a suit. (this bars Assassin due to sheer scale as there's no holes in his body shape, but is physically impossible to portray as a man in a suit)
- Vaguely reptilian. Not exactly mammals, not exactly reptiles, but skin texture tends to lean towards reptile.
I've probably missed a few things but every Predator has hit those notes barring Assassin and that's simply because you physically can't do a suit that big. And given ADI has worked on all but one modern Predator I have faith they know what they're doing. We're going to get something different but it's not like we're getting these things.
