Predator's official Bio: "The Predator is not here to rule us. He does not wish to destroy the realms. He and others of his alien race merely fight--and kill--for sport and honor. There is much Kombat in Earthrealm. Shao Kahn and then Shinnok thought themselves konquerors. They were defeated. The Predator will not be. The humans, Outworlders and Netherrealm demons will fall to his superior weapons, tactics and strength. Their skins will make fine trophies."

Cleverly, unlike Jason and Tanya, the name of the Predator's Fatalities and Brutalities cannot be determined, as their names and screenshots remain hidden behind a locked screen. The only hint we get is a black and white picture of Sub Zero screaming in pain as he loses an arm; if the other preview pictures, like Mileena's, is any evidence, then this is the second fatality, though its name cannot be determined for the same reasons shown prior. Hish-Qu-Ten? What the hell is the meaning of that? Never even heard of that in the Predatorverse.

Hish-Qu-Ten (Shortened to Hish) is a renaming for the Yautja specifically for the Dark Horse comics. To quote a member of Predatorium.com, "John Shirley decided (In Forever Midnight) to change the game a bit calling them Hish, and expanding on the Hish (Yautja) language." This is interesting because if they're taking inspiration from graphic novels, then there might be a few inspirations from the books in that specific variation. I'll look into it.
