Originally, the studio contracted the makeup effects for the creature from Richard Edlund's Boss Film Creature Shop. This design was abandoned when it became apparent that the jungle locations would make shooting the complex design too difficult.
The film's creature was originally designed with a long neck, a dog-like head and a single eye. Schwarzenegger recommended Winston after his experience working on The Terminator. Cameron saw what he was drawing and said, "I always wanted to see something with mandibles", and Winston subsequently included them in his designs.
While flying to Japan with Aliens director James Cameron, Winston, who had been hired to design the Predator, was doing concept art on the flight. The Predator creature's design is credited to special effects artist Stan Winston. A Van Damme easter egg was eventually featured in The Predator. Eventually, Van Damme was removed from the film and replaced by the actor and mime artist Kevin Peter Hall. When compared to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, and Jesse Ventura, actors known for their bodybuilding regimes, it became apparent a more physically imposing man was needed to make the creature appear threatening. Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally cast as the film's creature, the idea being that the physical action star would use his martial arts skills to make the creature an agile, ninja-esque hunter. The studio hired screenplay writer Shane Black to not only play a supporting role in the film, but to keep an eye on McTiernan due to the director's inexperience. Predator was John McTiernan's first studio film as director. Both groups pursue them for different reasons the former to eliminate them because they are seen as terrible threats, and the latter to capture them for scientific and military purposes. The franchise's sole recurring plot detail has mercenaries and corporations, including the OWLF (The Other Worldly Life Forms Program) headed by CIA agent Peter Keyes and its successor Project Stargazer, headed by his son Sean Keyes, tracking the Predators whenever they appear.
