Prey

The ending of “Prey” reveals that Naru, after persistent struggle and clever traps, ultimately manages to outwit the predator. Using her knowledge of the terrain and the predator’s weaknesses—such as its reliance on its cloaking device and laser targeting—she captures and kills it in the swamp. She then brings back its head as proof of her victory and her growth as a warrior, earning her recognition from her tribe and being declared the new War Chief. The film’s final scene shows her handing her father the predator’s head and the mysterious flintlock pistol engraved with the name “Raphael Adolini.” This pistol, historically linked to the Predator universe and the previous films, hints at the long history of humans and predators crossing paths over centuries. Notably, the ending also hints that more predators are on their way, as the closing credits depict additional predator ships arriving, suggesting that the hunt and conflict are far from over. This leaves the franchise open for future stories, emphasizing that while Naru has triumphed, the danger from these extraterrestrial hunters persists, and the battle between humans and predators continues into the future.
