I can't help but feel the bony helmet was also inspired by the Wendigo. Fits perfectly into the theme of the film and is first thing I thought of when I saw it.
Wendigo aren't part of Comanche lore and even in the tribes that did talk about them, they were never described as a monster with a buck skull for a head. That's twenty first century entertainment for ya.
@@fonztorres Just because the Wendigo isn't part of the lore of the Commanche the Predator does match the description of a Wendigo. Its likely that this particular predator inspired at least one version of the Wendigo as word spread of the creature. The Commanche would have considered it a evil spirit but ones up north with the Wendigo legend would have probably said yep that's a Wendigo. . Or that others like it were hunting in other parts of North America maybe with similar head gear.
Whoever spotted that has some seriously good eyes and a good memory. Personally, I loved the design for the Feral Predator and his Bio-Mask looks really menacing all the while fitting into the films overall look and style perfectly.
He is the first desert predator on screen. I heard somewhere that they need their dreadlocks to be that thin and have many of them for better cooling while their bite strength is stronger than normal predators since their jaws a built for crushing bone, kinda like how a T. rex needs thick neck muscles for a stronger bite.
@@CheeseRunner The mandibles are for opening up the female Predators love muscle vulva lips when the male Predators go down on them to perform oral pleasures.
@Rick T Yeah Naru isn’t doing that to a Yautja no matter what mental gymnastics are applied. That’s like a 115 lb woman grabbing a much stronger version of your finger and tearing it clean off of your hand lol.
@fox alpha There’s so much inconsistency with the Supers it’s not even funny. They’re always stated to be larger but their stats are no bigger than some of classical Predators we’ve seen. Berserker and Tracker are stated to be 7’7”-7’8” (same size as Jungle Hunter and City Hunter), and Falconer is smaller yet at 7’5”, which is around average Yautja height.
How do River Ghosts havw skulls if they had exoskeletons? I always thought it was the skull of a Sabertooth, it just reminds me of the ones you can see in museums... Honestly, the Ferals are my favourite of the Predators. I love how the most primitive Predator is still way more advanced than humans, even today. I wouldn't say they're smaller, maybe skinnier
I always thought this Feral predator was from the ritual clans because their armour is very light and most weapons have skeleton features even some from the Dinosaur era. But maybe it is from another clan
I feel like they should of almost portrayed the predator as a wendigo it fits the folklore being able to mimic voices, has a bony kinda head invisible hides within trees
Someone else said he is 6'7 and smaller which isnt true. Then others say he is smaller in general when this predator looks a lot bigger than the rest from my point of view. His neck, head, and upper body is longer. His arms look longer. Many different sub species are built different.
@Haitian King Yeah I thought he looked larger too. Not quite as bulky but taller and leaner. A piece of art shows his head being way smaller than the classical Yautja (Wolf in this case) but Im not really buying it. The scale of the film made his head look as big if not bigger than the jungle Yautja to me. And yeah he’s definitely over 7 feet in height.
@michelangelo 11 I think the Jungle Hunter and City Hunter were both 7’8” so the Feral is on the average side of the spectrum. The wiki says he’s 7ft+ but that’s it.
Hey, didn't go through all the replies, so if this is already addressed, apologies. In the opening dialog, you stated trading the jungles of Vietnam with the Great plains. The original movie was set in South America, not Vietnam. Otherwise loved the video and have always enjoyed your content. Thank you for the videos, and keep up the good work, mate!
First, good eye, I agree on the origin, especially since you took the time for a side by side. I would assume that the Yautja is clanless, or yet to be ranked, and the bone mask and lower tech are based on entry level, maybe it was his first kill? Regardless, everything about their culture is "honor" and rank based, as in you reap what you sow. The bigger and badder you are, the better your gear. They should totally rip Mandalorian and depict a human "captive" learning the Yautja way while traveling planet to planet hunting different trophies... Like the elders on the Predators ship are watching the whole time and select Poke-youreyeout-hontas to travel the verse. I think there actually was a comic or graphic novel based on this, no?
I disagree, yautja have their own interest under that umbrella of honor. Some specialize in weapons, some specialize in minimal weaponry, some specialize in certain 'species', and all have their own hunting preferences. This predator could've enjoyed primitive-esque style hunting. It's easy to assume it was his 'first kill' or that he was still young because he got smoked by natives but I think a large part of the franchise is that they always under estimate humans and end up getting smoked.
1. Predators wasnt directed by Robert Rodriguez but by Nimrod Antal. Robert was the producer. 2. The Rivel ghost and the Original Predator design creature are now 2 different races. The creature that was used as a design for the original predator is now the "Amengi", a species that thousands of years ago enslaved the Yautja race. Then there was a revolution on the planet and thats where the predators got their tecnology.
Definitely came from river ghost... think about it like this.... the predators features changed throughout the years the PREY predator looks nothing like what we are used to so it makes sense that the RIVERGHOST would too...I think that's a great observation 👏👏👏
Did anyone else think that the feral predator in PREY LOOKED A LITTLE FAMILIAR ??? I got some weird JOHN CARTER TUSK MARTIAN VIBES FROM HIM…… ANYONE ELSE ? Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying they look identical or anything like that but I just felt like they could be distant cousins or something maybe it’s just the slender face and the bigger longer mandibles and the tusks of the green martians in JOHN CARTER but I def got that vibe from it
So this is just your theory? This hasn’t actually been “REVEALED”. Also Predator is set in Val Verde a fictional country of Central America, not Vietnam…
I got to say pretty much seems like it's on the money as far as where the Feral Biomask came from. Also looking at the skull design of the Biomask seems a little bulkier then the one in "Predators" would explain a more Primitive looking River Ghost Skull in size... Nice Job👍..Hmm🤔 that could be a whole nother story line😳😎
Thats not a river ghost skull. The proportions of the RG seen in Predators doesnt match a skull big enough to cover a Pred fave like that. Plus the bone symmetry and last but not last the skull is from an endoskeleton and an exosekelton.
Well it's odd at best the Predators use those Helmets not just to use its Variety of Visual spectrums but Also because Predators Have Hard times Breathing Airs of other Worlds some more then others. It's both there personal Oxygen breather to combat use.
It may look like it has less muscle mass because it’s taller than it’s jungle counterparts therefore the muscle is stretched across a larger surface area making it look less bulky but in reality has equal or even greater muscle mass
Has anyone done or seen a video referencing the small tube like attachment on the back of Feral's biomask, that sits under his top maxilla when he recovered his mask?
The Original design of the Yautja wasn't the River Ghost.. the original design of the Yautja would later become the design for the Alien race the Amengi, which came to Yautja prime and enslaved the Hish *who later becoming Yautja* pretty cool back story actually..
I believe that this feral predator is very young and only has a few seasons hunting and I believe as they succeed in each hunt there given weapons so feral predator has just a few
It’s the same time line and that’s the year is 1715 and then there’s the 1719 comic on the pirate ship Witch means that pirates killed her and took the gun
My theory about the feral predator is that his tribe/subspecies is kinda like a traditional clan Kinda like some of the tribes in Africa or South America or Asia They could choose to be on the level of other predators but they choose to be more natural killers, Kinda like a rejection of extremely advanced tech and going for something more ancient something that tests them a lot more.
@Klassic Da Pro He’s really not tho. There’s more than 100 uncontacted tribes in the world. Between 77 and 84 are in South America alone. South Asia has the Sentinelese, the most secluded tribe in the world, so...
If the individuals of the river ghost species have different facial structures, like humans have different faces depending on individual characteristics, otherwise bones are too splayed out, like an unfurling flower.
0:56 if this is a comanche look, then I am the japanese emperor 🤣🤣🤣🤣 She look exactly like a teenage Bollywood star. The only difference is, that she didn't start singing & dancing yet together with the Predator 😜😂
0:47... you shouldn't make videos on movies if you haven't watched the movie, or atleast researched it properly... it was definitely not Vietnam... I wonder what else you got wrong...
One of the costume designers and I think even the director already addressed this saying that it was definitely an inspiration but they’re not confirming if it is or isn’t yet. Sorry man but a bunch of people have already pointed this out on Twitter. The title’s kind of clickbaity honestly. You could’ve just titled it “The Origins Of The Feral Predator’s Mask (Theory).” I thought this theory that I saw awhile ago might’ve been confirmed which is why I watched the video. Also side note, Predators is not a reboot. It’s not even a soft-reboot.
Uh.. the first predator took place in central America.. not Vietnam. And even though they were French fur trappers.. her tribe were Comanche. Who were not a Canadian tribe by 1719.. their lands were in North Texas, west Oklahoma, east new Mexico at the southern vase of the rockies.
I attributed the dumbness to this being the preds first hunt on earth(allegedly). It spent most of the movie learning the local food chain and then underestimated humans. That's at least how I look at it

it's because he likes to stop and smell the flowers

For the last Time the feral is not smaller then the other predators
Facts everyone is saying that when his build is different and looks bigger than the others. His neck, arms, and head is longer.
definitely smaller than super predators
