Aliens + Predator

The title for the new Aliens vs. Predator may be somewhat misleading. It seems that what they actually mean is Aliens + Predator.

USA Today has been gifted with a gallery of images from Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, which show off a brand new creature created for the face-off sequel. It’s called the “predalien”, and as its name suggests the guys in their creature shop went nuts and started sticking alien parts on a predator. They’ve combined the two creatures into a new monstrosity, and I guess they aren’t all that interested in keeping it a secret.

Along with the images they include some predalien fun facts. For instance they reveal that the predalien doesn’t lay eggs which produce face huggers, it just regurgitates in its victim’s mouth. Apparently the face hugger-less predalien leads a pack of creatures to a small Colorado town to fight humans and predators. So it looks like there won’t be so many actual Aliens for the predator to fight in this one. Just mutant freaks.

Personally, I’m not that impressed with this combo creature. Mostly, it looks like a predator with a tail. I’ve posted a couple of the predalien images with this story, but to see them all click over to USA Today.
