Introduction
This Futuristic Alien Hunter Roams the harsh arctic climates. Such as the taiga biome, in search of prey. However, ito s not to eat, ito s just the sport of the hunt that this creature enjoys. From far away, ito s almost invisible, but up close, the last thing you will see is its glowing red visor and the flash of its claws tearing through you. It is truly a force to be feared.
Description
It is built for arctic climate, as it has thick hardened scales that cover its entire body(Save for its face)Even though it is armored by itself, it brings along basic items(Thick metal gripping boots, its hunting helmet, a belt, and an ornamental scarf).
When it can, it prefers to fight up close with its clawed gauntlet. When people may see it while fleeing or fighting, it may look as if it were a large armored paw, with huge foot long claws extending, but it is in fact a gauntlet. Its actual hands have no claws or scales, but are still large and pack a power punch. Its Large helmet is built in with a full heads up display, advanced hearing and sight, motion sensing ETC. Its built for hunting and combat usage.
It tends to hunt down creatures around the same size as itself, mainly Minecraftians, tall mobs, such as the enderman, zombie, or iron golem, and even testificates. It will hunt down either single targets or groups. While it may have a lust for blood, it does not lack intelligence. If it feels completely overwhelmed, it may in fact flee, but this is rare as it can normally take on dozens of enemies at a time without a problem. While it prefers stealth, it can fight head on with no problems, its armored scales protect it from most attacks, and however its hands, feet, back, and front of its head are all considered weaker points. This is the reason for padding or armor on those places.
It fights with a head mounted immobilization canon, and a power gauntlet, which has insanely sharp foot long claws, and a small energy blaster for close to medium ranged combat. It prefers to either immobilize its targets from medium to long range, then move in close and kill them. It also can fight in hand to hand combat close range, as its claws can deal massive damage. It will sometimes engage in close range combat for a more honorable and challenging fight. Seeing as this is a sport, sometimes they feel its more of a challenge to engage an opponent head on, and they gain a lot more respect from the rest of their species for the amount of limbs they collect.
They have a medium sized shell like backpack, which is attached to them at birth, and burns into their skin, essentially making it a part of them. It has life support systems, various injections of medicine, oxygen filters and much more. It is important for their survival, it also initiates their active reflective camouflage.
Here are its stats, if it were say, an RPG.

Defense 7/10
Attack 8/10
Speed 7/10
Stealth 9/10
Jump 4/10
Height: 8 Feet
Weight: 300-400 Pounds

Lore
An Alien hunter from a distant planet, far beyond what we can see. Its Home planet is a cold, barren, arctic wasteland, and when it travels to other planets, it tends to stick to the coldest of regions.
The society of these creatures is all dependent on their hunting and fighting skills, and the amount of kills they have. Their society is more of a ranked society, as you gain more kills, and more trophies, you rise through a color based rank system to the top. The top ranking hunters in their society are feared, generally have the pick of whatever mate they desire, and have access to almost anything. Higher ranking Ieiceliskes can also lead raiding and hunting parties of lower ranking Ieiceliskes. However, their species generally prefers solo hunts, unless taking on large enemies(More than 10 times their size) or taking on large groups of enemies(Entire compounds)
Their society:
Hunting is a sport to them, and is practically their way of life. It goes on a detailed scoring system that ranks their entire species against one another. While it may be confusing if you go down into the deep mechanics, there is a simplified scoring system(For those of you interested)
Ieiceliske Hunting Score system
1 Point for a ranged kill
1 Point for an immobilization then kill
2 Points for a close range kill
3 Points for a single blow kill at close range
X2 the total points if the target is more than 2 times your size.
1 Point for remaining unseen the entire length of hunting
-1 Point if you are seen
2 Points if you approach your enemy head on
1 Point if you do not use any energy weaponry
END
While it may seem a bit awkward or weird, it is simplified, and their complete scoring system for hunts is way more detailed. They also can take a trophy, in the form of a limb or appendage, from each creature they kill, this will add points, and they put it in a type of trophy room at their house back on their home planet.
Their ranking system is symbolized by the color tag on their shoulder pads, and the color of their gauntlets holographic touch pad. While it is yet again a very complicated system, with thousands of ranks, here I s a simplified version for your understanding.
Shades of green o
Generally given to the newest of hunters and the lowest of ranks.
From this point it takes about 100 points to rank up.
Shades of blue o
Given to the next level up, when you pass from a new hunter into being an official hunter.
From this point it takes about 300 points to rank up
Shades of purple o
Given to experienced hunters, for those with countless kills and lots of experience(Think of this as the mid point)
From this point it takes about 500 points to rank up.
Shades of orange/yellow o
For the extremely higher ups, these are feared and respected members of the Ieiceliske society. It takes years upon years of hunting to reach this rank. If they have not died by this point, they definitely deserve this.
From this point it takes around 1500 points to level up.
Shades of red o
For the best, the baddest, and the meanest hunters. They show no fear, no remorse, no mercy. They are a force to be reckoned with. These are the top of the top, the highest rank you can achieve.
In their society, both male and female hunt, and even children are trained from birth to hunt and fight. If you do not hunt in their society, you are shunned and forgotten.
General life:
Their home is on the planet Ergersh, which is outside of the solar system and un-reachable by current technology, however they are very advanced. They have made it up to the age where most citizens have space ships, high tech weaponry and FTL jump travel available. On their planet, it is an icy wasteland and contains around 8 large mountains around the planet(Reaching up into the clouds at up to 3 miles) Up in these mountains, the Ieiceliske population live in groups. Down below, they bring creatures from other worlds and populate the ground, for hunting practice. They can fight these enemies for low amounts of points, and for training for younger hunters before they leave home to other planets to hunt.
Since they live in a harsh winter climate, they have adjusted to the extreme cold. Heat is generally discomforting to them, and they receive much harsher burns from fire. This being a weakness, the most effective way to fight them is with burning or flaming weapons.
They have trouble adjusting to new planets also, this is the reason for the pack on their back. It has life support systems, oxygen filters, and various medicines that auto inject.

This takes some elements from the o Predatoro Seriese of movies. Just some, a lot of this is my own idea; I just used a few things, which is why you may see some similarities.
Thanks to planetminecraft, of which I have been a member of for 1 and a half years! Thanks to all the staff who keep the place running smoothly and try their best to keep spam to a low, and haters off the site. Also, thanks for the amazing contests in which I can express my creativity.
Thanks to the contest judges, who will probably hate me for the amount of information put into this that they have to read :P
Extra info
Nothing really, this is for the contest and I hope you all enjoyed the lore and the background behind the creature, along with the detailed explanations of weapons, gear, and hunting abilities.
