I have a new headcannon for Predator Badlands:
I think Kwei had human friends.
Think about it.
It's not specifically established how great an age gap Dek and Kwei have, though we know that Kwei did most of Dek's raising himself. What if Kwei had human friends that he grew close with before Dek was born and they introduced him to concepts that typical Yautja would find strange or even radical, such as his love and attachment towards Dek who is seen as weak and inferior among the clan. Better yet, what if Dek is really Kwei's son and his mother was a human that Kwei had a relationship with. What if she died sometime when Dek was a pup and the only one who knew the truth was Kwei's mother, who agreed to claim Dek as her own so that the clan would accept him. Njorr was never sure about the legitimacy of Dek's parentage but he can't really argue with a clan mother so he bides his time for an ample opportunity to get rid of Dek.
