# The Preds

## :point\_right: The Basics

* Preds are a [primary character](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] of Derpetonia
* Preds have a rank of 1 through 4; each rank level adds a new attribute
* Preds are linked to the [Legacy Derp Bird](/derp-birds/characters/other-collections/legacy-derp-birds-deprecated.md) or [Derpling](/derp-birds/characters/main-collections/the-derplings.md) that was captured to create(mint) them
* A Pred that has all matching attributes of a single archetype is called a **Pure Pred**

## :information\_source: About

Pred are the enemies of Derpetonia and are the other primary character collection of the project. Preds were created by giving up a [Legacy Derp Bird](/derp-birds/characters/other-collections/legacy-derp-birds-deprecated.md) or a [Derpling](/derp-birds/characters/main-collections/the-derplings.md) and at least one [Derp Egg.](/derp-birds/characters/other-collections/eggs-shards.md) Their origins and motivations for attacking Derpetonia are still unknown.

Being a primary character collection, Preds receive several ecosystem benefits and [utilities](#utility).
