He arrived on the planet LV-1201, along with his clan, in order to hunt game. He encountered a verdant world, full of dangerous prey including a carnivorous, moose-like creature (Buhlagh), a hulking, bipedal reptile capable of disguising itself as part of the terrain (Chameleons), and a wormlike organism which attacked from underground (Tentacle). Quickly, however, the Predator discovered more dangerous prey: Xenomorphs. The Predator followed them to their hive, through ancient Engineer ruins, where he discovered and activated an ancient artifact which had the power to keep Xenomorphs at bay.
