The "Predalien" was first depicted in a painting by Dave Dorman, and subsequently featured in the Aliens versus Predator comics and games.

Concept

A Predalien appeared in the film Alien v Predator but was not fully developed, scenes of the spacecraft and predalien were created in CGI.

Aliens v Predator: Requiem (film)
In the film Aliens v Predator: Requiem the Predalien was nicknamed "Chet" on set and in the script. This was to avoid early spoilers about the nature of the creature and the name "Chet" was a reference to the brother from the movie "Weird Science" who was played by Bill Paxton. Predalien in the film is smaller in size to ones appearing in games and is similiar in size with Predators in the film.

The Predalien seen in the film Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem was also a Queen, as it also possessed the ability to impregnate human hosts with multiple Alien embryos.

Concept

Concept120

In Aliens v Predator: Requiem ADI creature effects co-designers Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alex Gills were able to develop a grown Predalien. Designs varied but a chosen Predalien design saw it mostly comprised of an Alien but kept the dreadlocks and mandibles of Predators, made in clay miniatures before being sculpted in full size and set in foam latex.

Designed and modeled at ADI by Steve Wang, Mike O'Brien, Casey Love and Tully Summers. Designed originally as 80% alien and 20% predator, final designs depicted a Predalien as more predator.




On-set

Tom Woodruff, Jr. again played as the Aliens and the other titular species of the film. Having previously portrayed the Aliens in Alien 3, Alien Resurrection and Alien vs. Predator, Woodruff reprised the role for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, also portrayed the Alien/Predator hybrid creature, dubbed the Predalien by the production team.



Production

Predalienconcept1

Final designs saw a clear skull inset with a number of animatronic heads being made and six suits one of which Tom Woodruff Jr. would wear as he also played the Predalien. Once set and adorned suits would have an attachable tail which could be screw on and could be controlled by the crew.

Head and arms were scaled to appear 8' tall as Tom was playing as the Predalien, sometimes using a raiser for scenes, the tail added separately was in some scenes digitally adjusted or completely CGI in more complex scenes as in the storm drains.



LV412
The game AVP: Evolution features the Aliens, Queen, Runner, Warrior, Warrior Carved, Warrior Resurrection, Praetorian and Berserker-Alien, a player would start as a Drone and can then upgrade their character's appearance with the other Alien skins and increased ability after gaining the required xeno points. A Predalien becomes available with the latest released update, upgradable skins and increased ability are gained in a similiar way. Later a Predalien is selectable in the battle editor along with all other enemies that appear in game.
