Added DiffLines:

* CombatSadomasochist: Previous Predators tended to retreat when wounded and unless their prey earned it, would rather pick people apart silently. This one charges bear and gunfire head-on and clearly enjoy showing its strength by savagely tearing preys.

* ArcherArchetype: He's introduced quick-firing a bow and taking down a hawk that was in mid-flight. His proficiency with the bow is later underscored when he [[spoiler:is successfully able to land several hits on the Predator, in contrast with the incompetent French]].

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: While the Predator, like many of its kind, is a rather accomplished hunter who takes the idea of HuntingTheMostDangerousGame as both an art form and a way of life, this Predator is ''particularly'' prideful of its game, as it is willing to engage in some slightly uncharacteristic behavior to collect its prey because it's far more interested in saving face than being a FairPlayVillain like other Predators when push comes to shove, [[spoiler:as the [[{{Mooks}} French trapping party]] and [[TheAce Taabe]] learn the hard way]]. It also is rather reckless for a Yautja, given how it not only [[MadeOfIron lets itself become a pincushion]] repeatedly for all kinds of damage, but it doesn't really change its tactics much at all once it's finally pushed into a corner, [[spoiler:which ultimately spells its death, as it mindlessly fires one of its tracking spears in a moment of wounded pride despite not having its mask, which it clearly knows ''will'' seek whatever the laser is pointed at, only realizing too late that Naru had pointed it at [[HoistByHisOwnPetard its own head]] before its [[YourHeadAsplode head explodes]].]] Tellingly, the director indicates that this was this Predator's first time on Earth, and it seems it was one of its first hunts in general.

Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Despite being well aware that its speargun ''will'' track wherever the laser of it's mask is pointed and prioritize that movement trajectory immediately upon leaving the barrel, it still attempted the shot to kill Naru. It only realizes far too late that the laser was pointed straight at their ''[[BoomHeadshot own head]]''.]]

* HateSink: Racist, demeaning, murderous, cowardly, cruel to animals -- let's be honest, you're ''begging'' the Predator to finish him off.

* ActionGirl: She naturally fits this trope for being the one to hunt and [[spoiler:kill the Predator]]. Hell, she's shown as an effective fighter before she even fights the Predator, winning a one-on-one fight with a fellow Comanche tribe member [[spoiler: and killing the surviving members of the French hunting party on her own.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BatmanGambit: Her specialty. When it comes to hunting dangerous prey, she takes note of her prey's behavior and tactics and strengths so that she can counter all of them to even the playing field. She does this against the mountain lion [[spoiler:which Taabe admits worked and was the only reason he had been able to kill it after she weakened it]]. She then does it again [[spoiler:to kill the Predator in a much more in-depth case of it.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DavidVsGoliath: The David to the Predator's Goliath. She's depicted as very skilled in combat but ''far'' more skilled in her planning ability and anticipation that allows her to get the upper hand on her prey by using her prey's own behavior to give herself the biggest advantage.

Added DiffLines:

* BrainsAndBrawn: She's the Brain to her brother's Brawn. Taabe's not an idiot by any means, but he admits that Naru sees what he misses, and that she always has. While he's more skilled than she is, she anticipates and learns the pattern in order to make a plan of attack against her prey.


Added DiffLines:

* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to his sister's Brain. He's no idiot by any stretch, but he openly admits that Naru sees what he misses and always has. Between the two of them, he's the more skilled in combat but less skilled in planning ahead and anticipating like his sister is.

Kick The Son Of A Bitch is now a disambiguation page.


* KickTheSonOfABitch: It absolutely decimates the French trappers, and takes some form of pleasure messing with them, too. Given that they're cruel, sadistic [=POSs=], it's hard not to agree with it.

* WrongGenreSavvy: They had rather ingenious tactics used against the Predator.

Unfortunately, they underestimated its weapon capability that proceed to make a short work out of them.]]

* CombatPragmatist: Naru is not nearly as big as either the Predator or the other Comanche hunters, but she makes up for it with smarts and guile. She modifies her tomahawk with a rope to make it easier to retrieve and usable as a grappling hook, she uses bait to hunt predators, she uses ambush tactics against the [[spoiler:French trappers]], and she makes use of other weapons (including the Predator's own discarded weaponry [[spoiler:and Raphael's pistol pistol]]), as well as unconventional tactics (like using a medicinal flower to lower her own body heat and render herself relatively invisible to the Predator). Late in the film, she details just this, saying that others perceive her as not a threat because of her size, which is ''exactly'' what makes her so dangerous.
