    According to material online to become blooded they need to hunt and kill a xenomorph to mark themselves with the acidic blood. This allows them privilege to hunt solo.

    So the Predator film (1&2) Yautja wouldn’t have been un blooded predators.

    The AVP films though.

      That’s an intriguing thought. So AVP1 is a sucessful coming of age story, but only for the main predator and the final girl.

      Well that explains why I’ve always found it strangely heartwarming.
