So as you can see my theory is this, Hish the cousins of the Yautja (Forever Midnight Novel who’s ancestor is the Alpha Predator) are the Super Predators and or Bad bloods who kill dishonorabley (like hunting other Predators and killing women, children and the unarmed)
Bad Bloods...Hish?
Hish are a strange topic. You could call them a failure at reinventing the wheel, the wheel being Yautja, but the name has stuck in a number of cases.
“Hish-Qu-Ten” was mentioned in Mortal Kombat X as a variation for the character to play as, who focused on Plasma Caster moves and ablities.
The same phrase was used as a identifying name akin to Yautja in the Aliens vs Predator vs Judge Dredd Comics.
And now, this appears to have been retconned/expanded upon to be what the Yautja originally were pre-Amegni Occupation. It’s not concrete, although it’s not for the lack of trying to understand it all.
Id say there’s already speculation that Alpha is a Super Predator due to his Body Type both in Game and in Toy Form. He doesn’t use the average Body Mold, and is taller than regular Yautja, conveniently having a similar height say Berserker would, to Crucified.
Of course then how’d you explain the face? Probably just evolution going down the path that it always does. Adaptations that work are passed on through the generations and so on and so forth.

Makes sense though right? They could be the reason there is a blood fued in the Predator lore and could lead to a movie where we get to see them both fight
As far as I’m concerned, here’s how it goes
Normal Yautja : Hunters of honor, you know the rest.
Bad Bloods : The result of a normal Yautja going rogue, and eventually developing into it’s own species, where cannibalism and murder is common.
Hish : Cousins of normal Yautja, the Hish were enslaved by the Amengi. Eventually, the “Alpha” stopped the Amengi, and caused an uprising, which led the Hish to become a space-faring species like other Yautja. Hish are a more primal version of normal Yautja, but not as primal as Bad Bloods. The Hish also have a few physical traits, like the kill gland, which provokes them to attack anything in sight. They are also a hermaphroditic type of Yautja, and can their sex can only be identified by hair color.
Sovereign Yautja (super predators) : A cousin of normal Yautja, the Sovereigns hunt less for sport and honor, and more for the excitement of killing. They are larger, have steeper faces, and can take more bullets than usual.

We already have reasons why Regular Preds and Super Preds hate eachother.
Movie Canon states that’s it’s a Blood Feud, or practically a Race War of alien proportions. Could also do with how these different Yautja Hunt.
Extended Canon goes the full nine yards. The Leader of the Super Predators was practically the first Bad Blood, the Super Predators enslave and control Xenomorphs and Kill for the pleasure they gain from it/to become better killers and to dominate.

I wouldn’t say that Alpha’s exact origins are known commonly, after all, he is a legend, the First Predator. Who would think that the First Predator was a Super Predator Half-Breed? Man, that would really rile up Predator Politics.

Dang I guess Hish will never get in the Predator lore, all we have is the Alpha
That’s a pretty good summary.

Man the hish will never get in that Predator lore all we have is the Alpha
No, I do think they have multiple books about the Hish, and multiple known clans.
Hish are actually a hermaphroditic type of Yautja, forgot to mention.
I thought the hish were what the Yautja evolved from
Super Predators are like another race within the Yautja species
What?
I guess not 😞
They change genders throughout their life.
Females have brighter hair than the males do, and that’s the only way they can be differenciated.
Aw I see why they are not explored as much, no one wants to f a trans alien lol thank goodness hunting ground gave us female yautjas

Yes! 😂
Nop, the super preadator are actually a Sub-species of Yautja who separated themself from their culture and of the majority of the species 4000 years ago in ancient egypt when Nigthstorm the first of their kind insulted and rejected the Yautja code of honor, they have nothing to do with the Hish who’s bad behavior come from their kill gland and of their lack of an honor code
