Terminators got their distinctive red HUD. RoboCop has his distinctive green HUD. I guess the best "special vision" humans get is the motion-detector for the Alien franchise, which is more of a tension heightening device.

The humans do have infrared in ‘Aliens’ - the Marines’ helmets have a flip-down visor for one eye, and Dietrich (I think?) says “maybe they don’t show up on infrared at all” in the hive ambush. The headgear for the Smartgun also has an enhanced HUD, too.

Yautja would love the smartgun. Imagine 7ft tall Vasquez. edit: to be specific, I mean a screen special effect vision. Humans got no goofy POV camera. Marsupial Ape fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Nov 27, 2025 |

Grendels Dad posted:Comedy option: They can't see each other at all and walk past each other constantly as they enter and exit action setpieces In my comic pitch idea, the Terminator shows up on the Predator’s thermal vision but it looks “wrong”, piquing the Predator’s interest, and it switches to some kind of electrical vision where it sees the Terminator’s skeleton and says “oh poo poo”.

IMO the canon, especially as of Badlands, suggests that no matter how dangerous, most yuatja wouldn't consider a robot a worthy trophy. Our pov Predator has to undergo a whole arc to think of one as more than a tool. His dad scoffs at the android skull and sentences his son to immediate death rather than even entertain for a second it was worthy prey and there was a story worth hearing out regarding the hunt.

Our pov Predator has to undergo a whole arc to think of one as more than a tool. If I recall correctly, his dad scoffs because he promised to return with the Kalisk, something his dad fought and almost died to; not a small robot skull. Dek also has to consider Thia a “tool” to accept her help on his hunt, since “yautja hunt alone”. It’s the mental gymnastics he needs to go through in the beginning of his character arc to reconcile his yautja culture and the successful predator he wants to become. He can use tools, he can’t accept help.

I think I have found an appropriate model for how gender relations work in Yautja society: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982225010413Coalitionary intra-group aggression by wild female bonobos posted:The females jumped alternatingly on Hugo’s body, stomping on his back and biting his head, legs, neck, fingers and toes. One female bit off a part of Hugo’s ear, two others engaged in genito-genital rubbing with each other on top of him.

You'd think having one as a loyal pet or ally would be notable but their whole culture is goofy bullshit and he's just a bad dad anyway.
