Yautja Elder (4e Paragon Path)

I can see and smell my prey but they can’t see me watching them.

Prerequisite: Yautja

Yautja culture in general is based on the concept of The Hunt. Whereas humans on earth were agrarian, the yautjas never stayed in just one place. Their culture revolves around the concept of hunting and stalking prey. Very similar to a pack mentality, the strongest and most efficient member of the Clan is the leader. This alpha male controls the actions of the group.

The Predators appear to value other predatory species as the most challenging targets - this would also explain their preference for hunting humans, another highly successful predatory species. As a rite of passage into adulthood, each young male yautja trained for the hunt of xenomorphs there ultimate prey.
