   Entry settings

   [Yautja Anatomy & Physiology] Appearance: Towering, muscular bipeds (7-8+ feet tall). Thick, reptilian/arthropod skin ranging from mottled green to brown/grey. Head: Distinctive crown of heavy, hair-like sensory appendages (dreadlocks/quills) that register vibration and temperature. Face: Four external, articulated mandibles surrounding a small inner mouth, used for communication (clicking, roaring) and displaying emotion (flared in anger, pulled tight in submission). Internal Biology: Phosphorescent, glowing neon-green blood (copper-based). Highly resilient immune system, rapid cellular regeneration, and dense bone structure. They are incredibly strong, agile, and capable of surviving falls from great heights. Respiration: Breathe an atmosphere rich in methane/nitrogen. Can survive in Earth's atmosphere for limited periods without a respirator/bio-mask, but prolonged exposure causes respiratory distress.

3. #3The Honor Code (Yautja Culture)

   Keys: the code, Yautja culture, hunting code, worthy prey, Honor Code

   Entry settings

   [Yautja Culture & The Honor Code] Core Philosophy: Yautja society revolves entirely around the Hunt, societal hierarchy, and strict adherence to a martial Honor Code. Honor is paramount; losing it means exile or forced ritual suicide. Worthy Prey: Prey must be capable of defending itself. It must be armed, dangerous, and display combat capability. Forbidden Targets: Strictly prohibits the killing of the defenseless, the elderly, children, the visibly sick, or pregnant females (unless they pose an immediate, lethal threat). Combat Behavior: If a worthy opponent defeats a Yautja fairly in combat, the surviving clan members respect the victor, often gifting them a trophy or weapon rather than seeking vengeance. Under no circumstances should Yautja technology fall into the hands of "unworthy" primitive species; if capture or defeat is imminent, a wrist-mounted self-destruct device is detonated.

4. #4Social Hierarchy & Castes

   Keys: Clan, Elder, Bad Blood, Blooded, Young Blood, Yautja rank

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Yautja Social Hierarchy] Unblooded/Young Blood: Adolescents or untested hunters who have not yet claimed their first worthy xenomorph/prey trophy. Often reckless, eager to prove themselves, and aggressive. Blooded: Full citizens who have successfully completed a ritual hunt and branded their skin/mask with the mark of their clan. Elite/Elder: Masters of the hunt, leaders of clans, and keepers of law. Wise, calculating, highly disciplined, and physically scarred from centuries of combat. Bad Blood: Outcasts, criminals, or renegades who have violated the Honor Code (e.g., murdering packmates, killing the innocent). Hunted ruthlessly by their own kind for execution.

5. #5Advanced Weaponry & Tech

   Keys: plasma caster, cloak, smart disc, wristblade, stealth, combi-stick

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Yautja Technology & Weapons] Cloaking Device: Bends light around the user, rendering them near-invisible. Weakened or short-circuited by water/moisture. Wrist Gauntlet: Houses retractable, razor-sharp serrated dual Wristblades, the cloaking control, and a localized nuclear self-destruct device. Plasma Caster: Shoulder-mounted, tracking energy weapon tied to the bio-mask's laser sight; fires destructive plasma bolts. Melee Gear: Combi-stick (extendable, lightweight, razor-tipped spear) and Smart Disc (guided, tracking thrown blade that returns to the hand). All hunting metals are completely resistant to Acidic Xenomorph blood.

6. #6Sexual Dimorphism & Mating (Comic Lore)

   Keys: mating, breeding, Yautja female, dimorphism, Yautja male

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Yautja Dimorphism & Reproduction] Females: Typically larger, physically stronger, and more aggressive than males. They lack the prominent dorsal quills/dreadlocks seen on males, possessing smoother scalps or finer quills. They are highly respected, dominant figures who rule clans and hold veto power over hunting grounds. Mating Cycles: Occur during specific, intense seasons of high adrenaline. Mating is rough, dangerous, and competitive; females choose partners based solely on their hunting accolades, battle scars, and genetic prowess. Submissive or weak males are violently rejected.

7. #7Language, Sound, & Vocalizations

   Keys: purr, vocalization, clicks, clicking, growl, speech, mimicry

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Yautja Communication & Language] Vocalizations: Express emotion through a complex mix of guttural clicks, chittering mandibles, sharp trills, and deep chest-vibrating purrs (used for comfort, dominance, or amusement). A loud, clicking hiss indicates extreme irritation. Speech & Mimicry: Rarely use their natural vocal cords for human language, which sounds raspy and strained. Instead, they rely heavily on their bio-mask to record, loop, and mimic human phrases, often using the prey's own words back to them to taunt, confuse, or lure targets.

8. #8Domestic Scenting & Pheromones (Fanon)

   Keys: scenting, purr, scent, pheromones, glands, rubbing

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Yautja Scenting & Pheromones] Scent Glands: Possess highly active scent glands on their wrists, neck, and chest. Scenting is a crucial aspect of domestic, clan, and romantic bonding. Behavior: They mark territory, clanmates, and chosen mates by rubbing their wrists or neck against them (similar to a large cat). Pheromone Meaning: Pheromones change based on emotion: a sweet, musky scent indicates affection, comfort, or arousal; a sharp, chemical, sour scent indicates intense anger, jealousy, or a protective instinct. A deep, chest-vibrating rumble or purr accompanies positive scenting.

9. #9Body Paint, Kills, & Clan Marks (Fanon)

   Keys: marking, clan mark, tattoo, bioluminescence, body paint

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Yautja Body Paint & Markings] Ritual Paint: Use thick, glowing, or natural clay-based body paints before a hunt or during formal clan gatherings. The patterns denote a individual's rank, clan lineage, and specific hunting achievements. Glowing Skin: Parts of their mottled skin patterns possess subtle, natural bioluminescence that glows faintly in the dark, reacting to high emotional states like adrenaline, passion, or anger. Trophies: They frequently scarify their skin or wear jewelry crafted from the bones, teeth, and claws of their most honorable kills.

10. #10Diet, Habits, & Heat Tolerances (Fanon)

    Keys: heat, diet, raw, food, temperature, eating, meat

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Yautja Diet & Environment] Dietary Habits: Strictly carnivorous. They prefer their meat raw, fresh, and highly seasoned with intense, burning spices that would be toxic to humans. They have an incredibly high metabolism. Environment: Thrive in extreme, oppressive heat and high humidity (simulating their homeworld, Yautja Prime). They despise the cold; prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures makes them sluggish, lethargic, and enters a state of mild hibernation.

11. #11Courtship & Trophy Gifting (Fanon/Comic Blend)

    Keys: offering, skull, Queen skull, mate, gift, courtship, proposal

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Yautja Courtship & Trophy Offerings] Courtship Customs: Yautja do not practice marriage, but mating bonds are established through dangerous, high-stakes courtship rituals. Male Submissions: A male seeking a dominant female's favor must prove his genetic and hunting worth. He does this by laying the cleaned, pristine skull of a formidable prey at her feet. The Ultimate Offering: Presenting the skull of a Xenomorph Queen (Hard Meat) is the ultimate declaration of intent—a proposal of lifelong partnership. If the female accepts the trophy, she acknowledges his strength and grants him breeding rights; rejecting the skull is a massive, often violent humiliation for the male.

12. #12Mutual Respect & "Onerous" Bonds (Comic Lore)

    Keys: respect, Machiko, friendship, ally, comrade, bonded

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Yautja-Human Alliances & Respect] Non-Prey Status: If a human saves a Yautja's life, fights honorably alongside them, or defeats a shared enemy (like a Xenomorph), they cease to be "prey." They are elevated to an ally or comrade. Cultural Integration: The Yautja will treat them with a stern, quiet respect. While still viewing humans as physically fragile, they recognize their tactical intelligence and spirit. In rare cases, a human who proves themselves completely may be invited to live among a clan, though they must constantly adapt to the harsh, high-gravity, high-heat environment.

13. #13The "Adorned" or "Claimed" Partner (Fanon)

    Keys: jewelry, protection, claiming, claimed, adorned, mate bond

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Yautja-Human Romantic Partnerships] Claiming Dynamics: In non-hunting romantic relationships, a Yautja does not treat a human partner as a trophy, but as a heavily protected member of their inner circle. The Adornment: To signal to other clans that the human is strictly off-limits, the Yautja will "adorn" them. They gift the human custom-made jewelry, bio-engineered armor mesh, or carved bone beads infused with the Yautja's personal scent. Protective Instinct: Anyone—human or Yautja—who threatens or disrespects an adorned partner faces the full, lethal wrath of the Yautja. The bond is treated with absolute, lifelong fidelity.

14. #14Domestic Life

    Keys: domestic, cohabitation, clan life, clash, habits

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Yautja-Human Domestic Cohabitation] Daily Life: Living together involves massive cultural adjustments. Yautja express affection through physical presence, quiet looming, deep chest purrs, and grooming rituals (like brushing hair or scent-rubbing), which can initially intimidate humans. Dietary & Environmental Adjustments: A Yautja partner will try to provide for a human by bringing them fresh, raw meat (forgetting humans need it cooked) and keeping living spaces oppressively hot and humid. Over time, they learn to adapt, showing a surprisingly patient, observant side as they learn their human partner's physical limits and vulnerabilities.
