Bull (Predator)

Bull was a Yautja aboard the Scout Ship which had detached from the Mother Ship departing Earth in 2004, after recovering the body of Scar when the Predator was killed by a Xenomorph Queen on Bouvet Island.

Bull was killed by a Predalien that was spawned from Scar inside the Scout Ship after it crashed on Earth in Gunnison, but he just managed to send a distress signal to the Predator's home world Yautja Prime where it was picked up by Wolf, who would travel to Earth to kill the Predalien and contain a Xenomorph infestation.

Biography[]

Bull was aboard the Scout Ship attached to Mother Ship which traveled to Bouvet Island, Earth in 2004 to recover the corpse of Scar (who unbeknownst to the ship's crew, had been impregnated with a Chestburster). The Chestburster in Scar emerged from his body and it snuck aboard Bull's Scout Ship, which had detached from the Mother Ship and quickly grew into an adult size Predalien. The Predalien then began killing the Yautja aboard the Scout Ship. While Bull was observing a hologram of a planet aboard the ship, he heard the scream of a fellow Yautja coming from the ship's Trophy Room. Making his way to the source of the scream, Bull witnessed a Predalien killing another Yautja, but had to switch his bio-helmet's vision mode to EM Vision in order to see it clearly. Bull then attempted to kill the Predalien with his Plasmacaster, but missed, creating a hole in the side of the ship and causing it to crash-land in a forest on Earth in Gunnison, Colorado.

Bull survived the crash badly injured and witnessed the Facehuggers that were being held in the ship escape the wreckage out onto Earth. Bull then sent out a distress signal, but was Headbitten by the Predalien, who had also survived the crash. The signal Bull sent was received by the Yautja veteran Wolf on Yautja Prime, who then set out for Earth. Arriving at the crash site, Wolf used his bio-helmet's vision modes to locate Bull's corpse. Wolf grieved the fallen hunter, bowing his head and placing a hand on Bull's bio-helmet. Wolf then activated the Self-Destruct Device in his Cleaner case and took Bull's Plasmacaster and a pair of his Shurikens. Wolf then fled the ship as it was destroyed, removing any traces of Bull's corpse.

Behind the Scenes[]

Bull's bio-helmet was actually a prop left over from the previous film, Alien vs. Predator.

Trivia[]

It is unknown if Bull intentionally fired his Plasmacaster into the Scout Ship's wall or if it was an accident. It is possible Bull tried to crash the ship, killing the Predalien in the process, to prevent it from getting to the destination they were headed. However, we see from his EV vision, that the Predalien moves out of the way in the last seconds, causing the shot to miss and hit the ship's walls, making it more likely that crashing the ship was an accident.
It seems strange Bull decided to send a distress signal instead of activating his Self-Destruct Device when he was likely mortally wounded in the Scout Ship's crash, in addition to discovering that the Facehuggers previously held on the ship had escaped. However, given the Predalien was on him just as he finished sending the alert, and given that self destruct devices are more complex and can be interrupted, as shown in Predator 2 and Aliens vs Predator(2010) it is possible he felt there was not enough time to activate the sequence, meaning the Xenomorph infestation could have gone unchecked, while a distress signal meant someone would have to respond it and could stop the infestation and keep the whole mess quiet.
The scene where Wolf bows his head is one of the notable scenes where Predators show emotions, like Celtic in Alien vs. Predator, who fought Grid out of revenge for his brother's death.
Bull's bio-helmet is very similar to both the Ancient Predator's helmet, and the helmet of one of the predators seen in the Flashback sequence in Alien vs. Predator. This can be seen in the AVP Special Features.
