DM: “Okay what’s your backstory?” Me: I’m an alien monster here with the sole purpose of finding and killing the biggest, most dangerous, hardest to kill thing on the planet. DM: That... That’s the Tarrasque

Fun fact, the predators' species actually has a pretty strict honor system. A couple examples include: -Targets considered "defenseless" such as kids and pregnant women and targets who's deaths would negatively impact said "defenseless" targets (such as physicians) are considered off limits (unless a facehugger got to them already, by which point it's practically a mercy). -If a predator loses a one on one duel against you, they have to either give you one of their weapons (marking you as an honorary member of the species) or detonate the bomb as is the case with most failed hunts. Basically either say your opponent is that good, or be so petty that you ensure everyone dies.

"Finally, we need to be caustic with blood so toxic it gate keeps it hobbies." Savage

Tulok: Lizardfolk is one of my favorite races and we've never used one before. Garrus Vakarian: Am I a joke to you?

"...and if you've ripped their spine out you can switch it to another creature with a bonus action later." Man, hunters mark is a lot more brutal than I remember.

In honor of the double build, I think we should all double the algorithm output. Two views, two comments, etc. We can’t like the vid twice, but we can try to convince a friend to do so. Will be posting my second comment after finishing the vid.

One of these days you'll get around to stat'ing out one of the most terrifying masterminds of all time, Papa Smurf. He was able to forge together a weirdly homogenous tribe and lead them on a terror crusade against an innocent alchemist/ wizard that just wanted to be left alone with his pet cat familiar!

Spoiler: the Alien's weakness is, indeed, being blown "out of the goddamn airlock." That's too perfect.

Me: please let the predator be a lizardfolk... "Lizardfolk baby!" Me: wonderful

You had the special, didn't you? Never have the special in a hurry. Always get the soup.

Me: How did you make Alien a Simic Hybrid and not the far more obvious Lizardfolk? 5 mins later... Ah, ok cool! All praise the Algorithm

Double the effort, double the love, double the suggestions: - Dedede, because the Beeg Bird can fly and swing a hammer. - Uncle Iroh, becuase brewing tea and eating roast duck should be a class to go with Draconic Sorcerer. - Rambo, because we need a jungle guy who lives off setting traps, special forces and firing bullets like there's no tomorrow. - Spawn, because we all want to be edgy hell revenants that have guns and chains.

And now we have enough Tulok builds to do a horror movie campaign. Pennywise, Jason, Alien, and Predator

"Krasis vs. Lizardfolk" still fits the meter. And makes for a fantastic mental image.

"Predator better be a Ranger," he said, knowing that Tulok never makes Rangers. EDIT: Well, I'll be damned.

totally forgot there were two builds and was suddenly really excited about halfway through

These are really on point.

The Alien and Predator are an iconic pair of enemies, but I'd argue that even more iconic is the feud between Anderson Cooper and biased and unbalanced news reporting! You don't even need to make a double video for that one cause we all know Anderson is the better combatant! I think we'd all love to see that video though.

dear algorithm: this is good! recommend this to others!

Xenomorphs do pretty well in water. There's an underwater sortof chase sequence in Alien 4 and they are big boy scary in it.

My girlfriend’s a huge Alien fan, while I personally prefer the Predator. This video makes us both happy.

Was the "I can't find evidence that aliens can swim" a joke about pretending Alien Resurrection doesn't exist, or have you actually not seen it?

I need Tulok to get out of my head haha I was just talking about if you could do Predator in D&D AND I just built a Simic Hybrid Barbarian

What builds are you personally interested in, Tulok?

Alien build looks terrifying for my DM, I will use.

Please please please make V from "V for Vendetta" for your 5th of November build! 🎭⚔️ 🎇

"Nice scaleable NPC" I don't mind if I do Hey guys want to fight a creepy-crawly this week I am sure it will drive you up the walls

I know historical figures aren't normally built in this, but I would love to see, Blackbeard (Eddie Tetch) as a dnd character. I think there's enough myth surrounding him, that it would work.

After finishing the video, I am intrigued to see how these builds match up against each other. Will be running multiple trials in various environments this evening and report my findings.

And thus we find the reason they send the Predators down in groups the Xenomorph hunt.

Wow i've...actually kinda been spot on with my Barbarian I've been running. I'm currently going a Path of the Beast that used to be a captain of an army in a campaign where the nation we're in got taken over by an empire, my character was captured as a sole survivor of the army and experimented on but I didn't know about Simic Hybrids, I went with a variant on Swiftstride Shifter lol.

"But I don't wanna phone it in and rush through the later levels. What am I, a designer for 5e?" God I love your videos.

He did It! Thanks Tulok, I know I've been asking for a predator build for a while. You literally exceeded my expectations by 200% with the inclusion of an alien build. *This* is the quality content i subscribed for! Comments for the algorithm god!

I thought predator would be a gith. Tulok you’ve once again proved how much you think these through. Thanks for the special!

You've made Artificer/Ranger one of my favorite multiclasses

Oh woah thank you for the double build Tulok! I don't know much about Predator but I'm a big fan of Alien, so thank you again for this! I know this is the final build of this Halloween, so I'll refrain from thinking on too many spooky builds until next year. Edit: LIZARDFOLK LETS GOOO That being said, Michael Myers would be really cool.

Different xenomorph breeds would have different focuses. The build presented here really strikes me as either the queen or predalien. But a scout or drone xeno would probably have a few rogue levels, for example. Excellent video Tulok!

As a huge predator fanboy, I can tell you that the shoulder cannon itself does not pump health juice into the predators, BUT their belts actually do so that's basically fine.

Ohhh I love these! As a DM, I appreciate this a lot!

I must admit, using these as a DM is a really useful idea which I have never thought of doing. I'm such a fool. Loving the content!

Awesome set of builds. I will definitely be making a Predator type to play. Also, agreed. Lizardfolk are horrendously under appreciated.

wow, that predator build used my favorite race and my favorite class to do the kind of stuff I usually try to do with my characters, loved the whole video, but I'll probably use that predator build in a future campaign

I love this page so much I swear. I'm sharing every video with everyone at this point

An A-team episode where you do the 4 of them to level 10 would be a cool episode.

Duuuuuuude! Wow! Enjoyed the closing quote from the movie. Im so happy with the Predator build that Im not even going to mention my Conan: The Barbarian, Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1982 movie, special edition dvd with director commentary with additional insight into themes, character I would like for you to do one day.

8:32 DAAAAAYUUUUM! Shots fired have advantage when the target is surprised!

I wasn't ready for those big facts Tulok dropped at 13:21

Always appreciate the hard work you put into these builds!

I came to the comments to mention that the Garrus build was actually a Lizardfolk too, but I can never be sure it wasn't a calculated algorithm boosting mistake with you Tulok. :D

HELL.YES Well done, I love it. Edit: Just want to say I also love the fact that you did tests for the matchup between the two, superb work Tulok.

Loved the video, Always enjoy seeing new creative builds

Honestly I’d dip assassin for the xenomorph. Insane brutal critical

This video was amazing & literally made my day! Wonderful work!

*sees title* (heavy breathing intensifies)

Great episode, honestly one of the best on the channel.

You madlad, you absolute crazy scientist, you genuine deranged genius, you did it, you made them, you really made them, incredible

Nice vid ! Been following your videos for a while, love the narration. keep it up !

Awesome video and an awesome gift to celebrate the spookiest popular holiday we have! Keep it up keep it going on!

Incredible work as always!

Tulok: we are gonna do alien! Me: you mean a slaad

Lizardfolk was an excellent idea for Predator. Nifty double feature!

YEAH! I remember recommending this a while back. Thanks so much, man.

As a side note for the future: Tulok, I never needed to know about your research.

You know, ive been looking for a predator build for a while. now we got it. nice, and with the added benefit of getting the Xenomorph too! man, that is a gift that keeps on giving.

These are 1,000 times better than just putting these on paper. Great as always

This was a great video! Well done!

Awesome builds Been wanting these for D&D

Have I missed something about Armblade? I thought it requires attunement by a warforged. I thought the only way around this way level 14 magic item savant that lets you ignore all class, race, spell, and level requirements.

Probably my favorite video so far. Your jokes in this one were A1

you produce some interesting stuff man, always a good balance between silly and serious

Dude. This, the Star Wars build marathon, and thanos. If you ever need a break don’t hesitate, you deserve it.

I like how it went from ‘magical tinkering, *insert oh shit America is shit we took and killed everyone here before us here*’ to ‘space fire ball’

Was just thinking about trying to make Predator. As a DM I can confirm, I do watch too have ideas for NPCs or just interesting bosses that I can easily scale. Awesome vid!

Holy cow, another double build? Niice!

Love the love for predator being a lizardfolk build. Lizardfolk and also a favorite race of mine, because they are some quirky boys when you play them right. I love when an uncommon race works for a build. Great video all together too. I will play both of these guys when I have the chance

For the Halloween special I wish you did Michael Myers (yes I know the build would be very similar to Jason) but I still love this, the Predator is an absolute badass and the xenomorph is also dope

That was cool. Thanks Tulok!

I know what I'm playing if I ever get into another D&D game. Lovely video.

I think these are two of the coolest-to-me builds you've done! My players are probably going to find themselves facing down both of these (at different times, I'm not a total monster! ... Though actually, now that I say that, making them face down an Alien-Predator teamup wooouuuld be pretty great and terrifying... hmmm, tempting....)

This makes me want a "Building Monsters" series haha. Excellent video as always!

"I'm very happy to say that there is a race that's pretty much one-for-one in terms of predator abilities. It's one of my favorite races, and we've actually never used one before. It's [grung] time, baby!"

I know it's currently UA (although soon to be published), but Armorer artificer seems to be more sufficient for the Predator. Especially if their armor is set to the infiltrator mode, greater invisibility also helps. As for race, Filborgs seem to be quite fitting: they are powerful builds, quite high and have some innate stealth abilities. Alternatively, you could go for Dragonborn (Draconblood), they also fit into creepy alien theme, and get up to 17 intelligence at start.

I'm so happy to see this!

predator is the first artificer i've seen who has an in character use for magical tinkering. "hey... over here"

I love these builds, perfect for the halloween season. I know a lot of dnd players don't care for goblin slayer but it'd be awesome to see what you can come up with

“I don’t want to phone it in and rush through the later levels though, it’s not like I’m a designer of 5e.” Tulok, I knew you could be savage, but, that was just Brutal or like a Critical hit, maybe a Brutal Critical.

This puts a smile on my face.

Has an ultramarine been done yet? If so I'd love to see how one might build an Astartes Space Marine build without power armor and bolter of course, or with if you wanna have fun

heck yeah! We get to have a little Predator with our Alien... for a treat.

I have been looking for a way to play these so yay thank you

YES, FINALLY! my prayers were heard!

I was expecting the Xenomorph to be a Lizardfolk with a few Draconic Sorcerer levels; was pleasantly suprised! Also very pleased with the Predator race.

2 builds in 1 video is amazing

Really enjoying both of these builds, would be fun to work with.

Hope to see Ripley someday too. She’d be good as a Fighter (space marine) multiclassed with Artificer (engineer plus power armor). Great double video- I never would have guessed the Predators were Lizardfolk!

Literally the 2 I've been wanting!

Lizardfolk BABYYY! The moment you mentioned Predators using bones as tools I knew you were alluding to lizardfolk.

I really like the Xenomorph build Tulok!

I was expecting the alien to have some rouge levels, i guess you wanna keep that with jason
