The Riverghost

The movie predators was the flick that saved my faith in all the sci-fi horror reboots that came out in in the recent years. ((Damn you Prometheus)) The Movie had the look and feel of the classic predators movies but also introduced some new things and even new creature like the hounds and and the Badblood predators but the wickedest thing I think the movie introduced was the RiverGhost.

While AVP showed us the the Predators did indeed hunt other creatures bar humans, xenos and Pred's went together like cake and Ice-cream. Yet Predators show us that  Yautja would hunt in the words of Noland "shit you wouldnt believe" 

The Riverghost as named buy Nimrod Antel is a 7 foot tall bipedal insect like being that can move a extreme speeds and seems to be very aggressive. The creatures level of intelligence is hard to judge as Royce states it avoided their traps but it seemed to chase after Edwin with a more primal aggression. The beast seemed to have parasites which cleaned its wounds and kept it alive however when it died the bugs fleed its body. 

It unsure if this species was aware of the Predator race and had it been hunted before as Royce also states that it might think they captured it.

One final note is the design seems to be a throw back to the rejected design for the first predator movie and while they did do a fairly wicked job on this creature you can still tell that its a homage to the rejected predator costume.
