At least in the original movie!

He’s all about his skull trophies and skinning…what does he do to Mac?? Blows his skull apart! He don’t care! And as far as I know he took no trophies from Dillon either.

Racist!

I think its just a reaction to people being alienist.

Predator was injured by the time he got those kills. Maybe he was just trying it all done with so he could spread some glow goop on his wounds.
