The Kalisk – what is it / where is it? Throughout the marketing for Predator: Badlands, a massive beast has been teased as Dek's ultimate trophy. Up until recently this beast had no name – but now, it has been referred to as the Kalisk. But that's also apparently the name of hostile alien planet the Kalisk resides on.
Is Kalisk the name of the Beast? Or the Planet,?
This may have caused some confusion, because previous to these more recent reports, it was confirmed to Bloody-Disgusting back in April 2025, that the name of the "Death Planet" Dek finds himself on was also called – Kalisk:
An action sequence follows between Dek and his Yautja brother—training battleground stuff—followed by Dek’s prideful desire to select Kalisk as his hunting ground, known as the “Death Planet,“ where he’s to prove his unsupportive father wrong. Dek’s ultimately fighting for acceptance in his own clan, with his own bloodline, and if his fight with Kalisk’s first challenge says anything—where he defends against an onslaught of forest murder vines—Dek is a formidable warrior with everything to prove.
So, is Kalisk the planet? Or is it the name of the beast? As far as we know, the answer is both. The Kalisk is a native to the Death Planet. It's also possible, The Kalisk could be the name of the ritualistic trial Dek chooses – encompassing the name of the beast, the location and the act of slaying a series of opponents in an all-in-one achievement.
As new information about Kalisk become available, this article will continue to be updated.
