-------------------------------------------------------
The Ceremonial mask is worn by the elder Predators during the
"rite of passage" ceremony of the young hunters. It is fashioned from the skin
and bone of one of the fiercest creatures indigenous to the Predator's home
world, the QUATZA-RIJ.
As a tradition, young hunters always hunt in groups of three. They are sent out
in packs and must hunt and kill one Quatza-Rij as a team in order to be accepted
as adult clan members and be recognized as a legitimate hunter. Only after years
of hunting do the most skilled and experienced hunters try to kill a Quatza-Rij
on their own. If successful, they can then break away from the pack and are
allowed to travel off-world to hunt bigger game.
The Ceremonial mask has no laser sight, as it is not a hunting helmet. But it is
decorated with three circles on the forehead that represent each of the three
hunters. The symbol of unity and teamwork, the Yutja laser sight is modeled
after this symbol.
