Yautja

Tall creatures that stalk prey on many worlds, they regard the hunting of dangerous game as a challenge, and it is at the center of their culture. Bipedal with two arms (humanoid), they have very advanced techology. Yautja have reptilian skin of mottled red, green and yellow patterns. Their blood is a dark phosphorescent green, possibly due to different oxygen carriers in their hemoglobins. While humans use iron to perform the actual task of binding the oxygen molecule, the Yautja may be using copper or a similar element. However, the unearthly glow of their blood is not easily explained.

The Yautja are more widely known as 'Predators' thanks to their hunting culture.
