Predator

The Predator will be a playable character in Mortal Kombat X.

About the Predator
Predators (or as they're technically known, Yautja) hail from the Predator film franchise, along with the shared Alien vs. Predator universe. There have been many Predators depicted throughout the franchise, all seeking the ultimate challenge in the thrill of the hunt while wielding advanced technology and weapons.

Appearance
The Predator is visually based off the original hunter from the first movie. Possessing reptilian skin and long dreadlocks, the Predator dwarfs even Jason Voorhees in height and wears a high tech mask over his head to hide his face and mandibles. The Predator wears a mesh wire body net under its armor, which is consisted of shoulder guards, wrist guards, and a plate covering his left pectoral, as well as armor on his hips and legs, a loin cloth visible around his waist.

Biography

 * Mortal Kombat X: 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 konquerers. 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.

Powers and abilities
A highly evolved alien, the Predator possesses vast superhuman strength and durability well beyond that of a fully grown and well trained adult human male. In conjunction with these deadly attributes, the Predator has access to advanced weapons and technology such as its wrist blades, which it can use to skewer opponents in a single blow, plasma caster that can fire deadly bolts of energy that can tear through almost anything and sever limbs with a single shot, deadly combi-stick for close range combat, and can hide itself using a cloaking device to make itself virtually invisible save for a slight ripple in the air resembling heat waves. The Predator's mask also allows it to track its targets by their body heat and set up targeting sights for its plasma caster.

Fatalities

 * Ghostin' Us: Predator deploys its Wrist Blades and stabs its opponent, then lifts them into the air, then slams a Smart Disc into their heads, killing them. The Predator then drops the dead opponent onto the ground, making the severed scalp fall off, then the disk rolls away soon after as well, revealing the cut-in-half brain. (MKX)
 * Certain Death: Predator deploys its Plasma Caster, locks onto its opponent, and shoots a hole into their abdomen, then blasts off their left arm. As they writhe in agony, the Predator moves its targeting sights to their opponent's head, then blasts off the upper part of their head in a spray of gore. (MKX)

Brutalities

 * Brutality #1: Anytime: The Predator performs its X-Ray attack, but when it throws its disc, it beheads the opponent. (MKX)
 * Brutality #2: Time To Bleed: The Predator bisects its prey, making blood flood out of the bisected wound. Once the blood stops, it flings the body away from it. (MKX)
 * Brutality #3: Final Kountdown: The Predator activates its Self-Detonate tool, only when it detonates, it takes out both kombatants at once in a giant explosion of gore, with the opponent's head falling down onto the ground, following by their arms. (MKX - Warrior Variation)
 * Brutality #4: Skinned Alive: The Predator drops an anti-gravity snare that lifts their target off-screen, then the Predator vanishes. It deploys its claws, and skins the trapped soul alive with a scream of agony, making it rain blood. Soon, the lifeless and skinless corpse dangles into view. (MKX - Hunter Variation)
 * Brutality #5: If It Bleeds: The Predator fires one blast from its mounted gun that blasts a hole into their opponent's head, followed soon after by blasting their arms off. (MKX - Hish-Qu-Ten Variation)
 * Secret Brutality: The Predator rams its claws into the opponent's head, then rips the head off. It retracts its blades, then flings the body away from it.
