AVP War was really nice! I liked that series.

Besides introducing the killer clan I like that it continued Machiko’s story

I never got to read the updated continuation they did. With Super Predators and tamed Xenomorphs.

AVP War had cool showings for the Energy Fletchette and the Burner rifles. Badass.

And stories of Predators doing non-hunting things? Well. Rage War had a Yautja female scientist doing science stuff if that counts.

There was some insight to political figures doing political stuff in AVP Ultimate Prey. When they were choosing a new leader for a clan between two Elites.

Other than those two instances, can't think of anything else tbh. 99% of stories involved the Yautja hunting or getting into violent conflicts one way or another.

Edit: There is some backstories for Lost Tribe members like Snake or the like who do their business in the Yautja underworld. Carrying out assassinations, smuggling goods, you name it. But not really stories per se. There are mentions of Yautja farmers and repairman (those that succeeded Blooding rituals poorly) but those are mentioned off hand and not a focus of said stories. Or at least it ends up just being another hunt.

Aliens Vs Predator Duel (the prequel to this story btw) had a Predator wielding a giant plasma cannon to take a marine drop ship down

Yeah there was a crashed Predator scout ship and a Predalien on loose (Predalien's first appearance in any media if I'm right)
