Why Do Predators SKIN PEOPLE And Take Their SKULL?!

- The Predator species, also known as the Yautja, are shown to hold value in the mementos taken from their most worthy kills. These typically include those from the deadliest creatures they hunt.
Trophies can include a variety of items - most commonly a piece of the victim's body is taken, but items of personal significance to the original owner may be claimed as well
The body itself may also be mutilated and left behind.
In most cases, trophies are collected by Yautja as a means to display their skill. Recovered trophies are often displayed proudly in a dedicated cabinet or room. Some are even worn about the Yautja's person if it is of a small size.
The most common form of trophy collected is the victim's skull, sometimes with or without the spinal cord still attached.
A removed skull will be meticulously cleaned, the flesh and muscle stripped from it, and the brain and other organs removed, before being displayed alongside other trophies collected by the individual or those of the entire clan.
One of the most commonly-seen types of trophies are Human skulls. Although not much threat to a Yautja physically, Humans are one of the deadliest prey animals a Predator can hunt due to their intelligence, cunning, weapons, and technology; quality trophies from Human warriors are held in high-regard.
Another highly-prized trophy are the skulls of Xenomorphs; and a Yautja’s first Xenomorph kill is considered a right of passage; after defeating a Xenomorph, a Predator will advance to the next stage of their social-hierarchy, known as being “Blooded”.
Xenomorph trophies of Drones, Warriors, and others from Human-born Xenomorphs are displayed proudly; but there is one Xenomorph which the skull is not valued, and that is that of the PredAlien, which is viewed as an abomination and insult to the Yautja species.
Predators are sometimes seen to have trophy-skulls taken from other Yautja, but these are a lot more rare, and are usually seen in possession of Bad Bloods; though honourable
Predators are seen to take them sometimes if they have defeated a willing Yautja opponent, or have themselves defeated a Bad Blood, or rival subspecies like a Super Predator.
Some other skulls from different alien creatures are seen in the movies Predator 2, AVP Requiem, Predators; and in Prey, the Feral Predator was seen hunting other Earth animals; one trophy we see him take is the skull of a Wolf, which he battled and killed.
Smaller skulls and other bones may be worn about the Predators person, being strung through necklaces, or attached to their armour.
In some cases, the victim's body itself becomes the trophy; the body will be flayed of all skin, disembowelled, and hung by the feet from a height. In such cases, the corpse is not recovered and is left as a warning or taunt to any other prey who may discover it, as well as an indication of the Predator's worth and experience to other Predators. This is seen to be done to prey who did put up a fight, but were not quite worthy of having their skull taken, which is reserved for the best prey.
In less common cases, a trophy may not be a part of the victim's body, but an item of personal worth to them. For example, the Elder Predator encountered by Mike Harrigan in Los Angeles had in its possession a flintlock pistol dating from the 18th century, originally claimed from a pirate captain named Raphael Adolini as shown in the comicbook Predator 1718; or as later depicted in Prey, it was traded to Naru from a French voyager; and somehow ended up in the hands of the Elder.
If a member of another species defeats a Predator honourably, or fights alongside it, they may be presented with a trophy of their own, in the form of a weapon, or other artifact.
As always let me know what your thoughts are in the comments section, and give the video a thumbs up rating for the time and effort it takes me to make them.

Nice video dude! I love the predators world since the first movie. I really enjoy your content. Keep it going king!
Thanks! 😁
This was very fun to learn about! I wonder if a Yautja could survive the world of Monster Hunter?
Im sure they'd have a field day there!
If anything theyd thrive in monster hunter
Can’t thank you enough for this predator video it is long overdue.
The dumpster thing is when Wolf skinned that cop. Why. You are on a covert mission. It will never make any sense!
I would have thought a 'true hunter' species would not simply waste the rest of the body of their prey.
They have respect for their quarry. This is shown by the almost tender way the skulls are treated during preparation, it's almost a meditation, an appreciation of a worthy foe.
Also...
If they don't eat the meat, I'd be disappointed.
Could you do a video on the predator yautja diet and what they eat to sustain themselves? Same thing for the xenomorphs.
YO in Aliens Vs Predator Extinction, in the predator campaign, specifically Predator 7, there was a pred alien Queen, that the doctors made, always fascinated me when I was little. Do a video on it cover the lore and avp extinction.
Can you do berserker? Vs gray back
Could you do a video on what if the Pred Alien in AVPR survived, would it turn into a pred alien queen ? Make a video on the relationship between the engineers and yautja.
So it’s like a respect thing
I think it's just how much does Predator value his prey
Explain how the engineers and Prometheus crew led to the creation of xenomorphs. Explain how the daecon is an ancestor to the xenos or what happened to the daecon after Prometheus.
very good description
Do a video on the Deacon and how it's an ancestor to xenos or proto type version, what happened to the deacon, how it would look all grown up.
I think the deacon turned into a mountain or something like that
The Deacon was worshipped by Engineers, right?
YO in the comics Predators use xenos like attack dogs, could xenos be tamed like attack dogs ? Used as a domesticated animal .
Amazing Video
At 2:33 You can see a Triceratops Skull, on the Left.
Alien skull to daaam 🙂
Berserker predator vs Gray pack predator. Both are clamp Leaders both are different types of predators. What is a classic? What is a super predator who will win this fight and claim the title as the ultimate predator clammily
Imagine if the Predators found a new species of creature on another planet and the creature is huge, very aggressive and dangerous while they are hunting it a few Predators almost die but they managed to kill the creature, after they kill it they are going to collect the skull only to find out it doesn't have a skull because it's a invertebrate like a worm or octopus
He did say they take other body parts or weapons too…
👍
