Predator If It Bleeds 80

"What kind of fighter is it? I mean, does it have special
skills?"

"It has training," said Chiba. "It moves like a warrior. It's incredibly strong and fast, it has excellent reflexes, and it is
definitely a killer."

"Meaning...?"

"Even badly injured and starving it managed to kill seven members of the crew of eleven on the salvage ship that found it. And since I acquired it, I've done a few experiments."

"With people?"

"Not at first. Animals. A cougar, a mountain gorilla. Like that. People came later. Came... and went. Our friend down there seems to enjoy extreme combat. It's one of his most
endearing qualities."

"Has anyone come close to beating it?"

Chiba shrugged. "In exosuits with military-grade shock rods, yes. Otherwise... well, we're on the wrong side of the learning curve with him. His injuries are mostly healed, except for a few recent scrapes from our ongoing tests."-pg.427-428 chpt.16
