The Upgrade Predator is a genetically modified Yautja who appears as the main antagonist in the 2018 science fiction film The Predator.
Appearance
The Upgrade Predator is a product of hybridisation as his DNA is made up of many different creatures from different worlds which give him even more powerful abilities. Standing at over 11ft, he is taller, faster and stronger than a regular Predator while he could manipulate his body to give him a tough armoured exterior. He also didn’t need a bio-mask to have thermal vision which suggests he could have some form of implant.
