Sarii was the canine companion of the Comanche hunter Naru.
Behind the scenes
When asked about how the Comanche warriors will fight the Predator in an interview with TimeOut, director Dan Trachtenberg said "Naru and her dog are at the heart of the movie." and described their relationship as "...sort of a riff on Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior."[1]
In an interview with Freshfiction.tv, Dan Trachtenberg talked about the challenges using the dog and that the breed is a Carolina Dog which is accurate for the film’s time period.[2]
Sarii is portrayed by a dog named Coco, who was rescued from a shelter specifically to film in Prey.[3][4]
Sarii's role was originally smaller, but Trachtenberg was convinced to expand her role in the film when test audiences responded so well to her.[3][4]
