1) Thermographic vision ONLY
I'll have to agree with this one, it is obvious. My only
dissention is that PII implies that our friend has a device
in his helmet that can select for certain types of light.
Ie when he picked out gary busey's people by their UV lamps.
But that would fall under one of pred's tech toys.
2) Vulnerability to cold.
It is implied in both movies, but I think you're overestimating
severity. In II pred did actively seek out a cold place to use
as a hidout, but Gary Busey and Co tried to freeze it in order to
capture it. I'll take a stab at this by saying that cold slows
it's metabolism (a cold place would be a great place to sleep)
and sufficient cold would either send it into extended
hibernation or just shut it down for good. I would say that
pred has a nuisance reaction to anything cooler than 75deg
farenheit, a mild reaction to anything below 45deg F, Moderate
reaction below 20deg F and a severe reaction to anything
*really* cold (about 0 F or maybe as low as -20 F).
These temperature figures are merely estimates, but should give
a good idea of my views on predators in SR.
