Njohrr exposed the brutality of Yautja culture in Predator: Badlands and sported a badass set of armor while he did so. While some might have disagreed with Njohrr's ruthless parenting style, most will agree that his design was one for the books. Weta Workshop just recently shared the following concepts and photos of the Njohrr costume in action:

For a species characterised by the ritualistic hunting of other lifeforms, the armour that the Yautja clan leader wears in Predator: Badlands is more than protection. It’s a gruesome, glorious sign of his hunting prowess; a trophy display. Horns of another creature adorn his helmet. Bones plate his shoulders, his chest, his abdomen and his feet. And trailing behind him is a cloak; an ankle-length pelt of a victim.
Wētā Workshop Concept Artist Gus Hunter worked closely with Costume Designer Ngila Dickson on some initial ideas for this Predator’s costume, exploring ways to integrate the Yautja’s highly advanced technology for this film set further into the future than any previous instalment of the Predator franchise.
These were then refined by Dickson before being brought to life as a physical costume and creature suit in our workshop.
