The Dark Yautja are a sub-species of the Yautja race. They are essentially a larger, stronger version of the Predators.
 Physical Characteristics: They appear to be physically larger standing between 7'0" feet tall 9’0” feet tall. They have a more reptilian appearance than their better-known cousins, and have scaly skin in addition to different color pigmentation. Another feature is their "dread locks" which are red and far more swept back than on "normal" Yautja. They also possess a longer face, giving them a small snout in affect.
 Culture: Like with normal Yautja there culture revolves around the hunt but the have none of the normal society code of honor or structure to it they have no cast system either Dark Yautja have no care as to using group tactics hunting animals or even killing the defenseless or pregnant nor do they show care or concern for fallen comrades to the Dark Yautja there is only one purpose to their lives and that is to kill they have even been known to hunt regular Yautja. Dark Yautja do not commit suicide when their technology is about to fall into the hands of their prey they seem to show little to no concern about it this could be though that if an opponent claims that Dark Yautjas gear then their prey will become even stronger and thus even more entertaining to hunt. Even more unlike normal Yautja, Dark Yautja have been known to interact with other species when it suits them. This is especially true of lone wolf dark yautja who are not entirely unheard of sight among pirate gangs, or mercenary groups, though even in these rare cases dark yautja do not see their companions as equals simply convenient tools.
