The Predator Hound,^[1] also known as a Predadog^[2], is a non-sapient species used by the Upgrade Predator to hunt and chase down and kill prey.

Upgrade Predator Usage

A pair of Predator Hounds were brought to Earth during the Upgrade Predator's pursuit of the Fugitive Predator. The Loonies managed to kill one whereas the other was pacified due to head trauma, acting much like a regular dog. The surviving hound assisted the Loonies by handing them grenades and even turning against its own master.

Biology and Appearance

Predator Hounds are chimeric canines created through hybridization techniques similar to ones used to augment their master with base genome being an unspecified extraterrestrial hound species. Yautja DNA is among addition genomes involved in their creation through their jarring resemblance to the race donor in question, most notable being tanned hide, green blood, and dreadlocks on their head, though the Hounds lacked mandibles. Like Upgrade Predator himself, they possess exo-skeletal armor that can deflect bullets and wrist blades that make forceful contact on it, though still pale in comparison to the former's as they can still be injured with point-blank shot. Yet, Predator Hounds's internal organs seemed much softer and susceptible to damage than the rest, as Quinn managed to kill one by firing several grenade rounds into its throat, causing it to explode from inside out.

Superficially, Predator Hounds are very similar to the Hell-Hounds used by the Super Predators and even deployed for the same function. Even so, Predator Hounds seem to be better suited for tracking and retrieval tasks as two of them were deployed by Upgrade Predator to locate and secure Fugitive Predator's equipment that already delivered to Rory.
