The Predalien is a crossbreed of a Alien and Predator; the result of an Facehugger impregnating a Predator. The appearance and abilities of the predalien vary throughout it's portrayals in comics, videogames and movies. It typically possesses the mandibles and dreadlocks of it's unfortunate "mother," and a partial hide on it's carapace, and is portrayed as stronger than both human-borne aliens and their host species, the Predators.

[edit] Appearance

In Alien vs Predator 2 for the PC, the Predalien's appearance is much more like that of the predator than an alien. In the original game, the Predalien is only playable in multiplayer and lacks the ability to headbite, suggesting it lacks the secondary jaws. However, in the expansion, Primal Hunt, the Predalien is playable in story mode and given the headbite (presumably because without it, the predalien lacks the ability to heal itself).

In Alien: Extinction, an upgraded Predalien can release growth hormones to increase it's damage by +50 for each kill, resulting in an increase in the size of spines on it's back. The predalien is the sturdiest transbreed alien in the game. In this game, the Predalien is portrayed as much more similar to other aliens, but with a tan color. It also possesses the abbility to regenerate as well as a strong heat-resistance, but lacks any armor against kinetic weapons like blades or bullets.

In the film Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, this particular Predalien is a young Queen. It's inner mouth usually seen in other Xenomorphs is mutated into a Facehugger-style ovipositor. This gives it the ability to implant a host with multiple embryos, and it can use the ovipositer like normal aliens use their secondary jaws. In the film, it is seen exclusively implanting embryos inside women; it kills any other humans, suggesting that it is much more limited in it's abilities than the Queen. The resultant spawn of the Predalien are normal drone aliens; showing no apparent predator traits. The predalien is dark green in the film.
