Even with as much drive as she brings , she and her fellow Comanches , as well as a group of French fur trapper , face a very deadly foe in the Predator , create her victory all the more impressive .
ThePredatorfranchise has pitted many humans against the foreign hunter , and they often tend to con a mediocre amount about the warrior culture the Predators originate from . This ranges from film to film and includes everything from the Yautja ’s unique munition to their twisted sense of honour . One such often - discovered look about the Predators that is touched upon in every film is their ability to see in the infrared spectrum .
What makes Naru ’s fight with the Predator rather different inPreyis how she go bad about concealing her body heat from the Predator . In the original 1987Predatormovie , Arnold Schwarzenegger’sDutch fight the Predator to the deathwhile coated in mud to block his body heat , and Royce ( Adrien Brody ) uses the same method acting inPredators . InPrey , Naru comes to realize the Predator ’s weakness after give Raphael ( Bennett Taylor ) , the offend representative of the fur trapper , a medicative flower dub an " orange tutsia , " which lowers one ’s torso temperature . Once Naru sees that run through the orange tutsia get one invisible to the Predator ’s infrared vision , she incorporates the flower into her design to overcome the Predator in their final showdown .
Prey Proves Naru Was A Better Predator Fighter Than Dutch
Naru is shown at the beginning of the pic to be an aspiring hunting watch — her end is a departure fromComanche sex roles , as shown inPrey , at the meter . She bear witness her worth by absorb an orange tutsia just in front of facing off with the piranha . Having determined that the Predator will only assault armed target capable of agitate back , she strategically apply Big Beard ( Mike Paterson ) , loss leader of the fur trapper , as come-on , luring him toward an empty musket to shoot her , only for the Predator to arrive and find out him as aggressive prey . Having been miss by the Predator ’s infrared vision due to eating an orange tutsia , Naru then uses that opening to shoot the Predator with a firelock pistol from behind , knocking its mask off .
In their ensue battle , Naru manages to trap the Predator in a deep mud piece . The Predator ’s masque is cautiously set behind her , causing its optical maser sighting to target the Predator , so its fizgig fatally strike the creature . Naru ’s scheme not only swing the effectiveness ofthe Predator ’s alien weaponryto her own advantage but it is also much less unrefined than the mud used by Dutch and Royce , giving her the same estrus - blocking vantage without the downside of mud being washed off by pee . Like them , Naru is observant about Predator ’s fighting skills and hunting maneuver , and she imprint her fight design from that noesis , but with a more scientific approach .
Though Naru becomes seeable to the Predator ’s infrared vision again when it start out pull the wool over someone’s eyes , her use of the orange tutsia gave her the opening to slip the piranha ’s mask . Philosophically , Naru follows the same strategy as Dutch and Royce in using one of the Predator ’s metier against it . Ultimately , Naru ’s triumph inPreyshows her as the skilled warrior that she is by turning the tables on her fearsome foe with a much stealthier tool than clay to make herself invisible .
