While the Predalien is currently the deadliest (and only) Xenomorph/Predator hybrid out there, Marvel's Alien sets up a way deadlier hybridization.
One of the most iconic and unique aspects of the Alien vs Predator series is the introduction of the Predalian–the result of a Xenomorph using a Predator as its host–but Marvel’s Alien actually just set up a Xenomorph/Yautja hybrid even deadlier than AvP’s.
The Predalien made its first appearance in the two-issue Dark Horse miniseries Aliens vs Predator: Duel by Randy Stradley and Javier Saltares–a story that picks up almost immediately following the events of the first AvP comic book series, Aliens vs Predator. In that first storyline, the Predators seed a planet with Xenomorph life in order to hunt them and complete their Blooding Ritual–a ceremonial rite of passage for the Yautja species.
While the Predalien looks interesting in terms of the character’s design, it’s not as special as it might appear. When a Xenomorph takes a host, any host, it will take on certain characteristics of that host–primarily physical characteristics–in a process known as DNA Reflex. For instance, the look of a Xenomorph fans are most familiar with isn’t the species' original form, it only looks like that because humans have been their primary hosts in movies and comics.
The Predalian may look like it's a perfect mixture of Xenomorph and Yautja, but in truth, it’s just a regular Xenomorph with facial prongs and heightened strength. However, if a Predator was bitten by one of the ‘xeno-squitos’ from Marvel’s Alien, that perfect fusion of Xenomorph and Yautja would actually take place, the same way it did for the human in the series.
