A “Bad Blood” means a Predator who has turned against its own kind and/or severely violated aspects of the Yautja honour Code - intentional or otherwise.
Bad Bloods are generally seen as more hostile, mentally unstable Predators. These sadistic hunters have turned their back on their own kind, becoming rogues who will kill any prey they want, including non-combatants, and even other Predators.
If the individual flees before accepting punishment, there can be no forgiveness according to Predator tradition, and honourable Predators are allowed to eliminate the outcasts on sight.
Bad Bloods are never accepted back into Predator society, and are banished from Yautja Prime.
Until they are hunted-down themselves, they wander aimlessly through the universe, either hiding from Enforcers, or fulfilling their insatiable bloodlust.
Bad Bloods still use the skills taught to them by their brothers, but they use them dishonourably and purely for their own personal gain. Bad Blood equipment is usually the same as a normal Predators, though some have been known to possess unique weapons.
Bad Bloods often will form their own clans, who have been known to go to war with those which are still honour-bound.
Not all honour code violations are done intentionally, and some Predators may have broken the code due to mistakes, carelessness, or through brainwashing.
If an honourable Predator violates the code, and is at risk of being labelled a Bad Blood, if they submit to their punishment, depending on the offense, they can be given a chance to redeem themself and work to reclaim their previous standing.
However, these opportunities for redemption consist of incredibly dangerous missions where death is far more likely than success.

In addition to any honourable hunter being allowed to kill them, certain Predators are specifically tasked with hunting down known Bad Bloods and eliminating their existence.
This caste are known as Enforcers.
Enforcers are Yautja that hold a special ranking within Predator culture. Unlike other Yautja that hunt worthy game, Enforcers hold the position of hunting down rogue Bad Bloods, and putting an end to their existence.
Enforcers can essentially be seen as a form of Predator law enforcement, ensuring that those who disgrace the Yautja species are swiftly put to justice.
Whether they serve as a literal police force however, is unknown; it could be that they serve as bounty hunters, or perhaps simply act solely out of personal duty.

The Super Predator clan are presumed to be Bad Bloods, as they were engaged in a long-running conflict with the Classic Predators for unknown reasons; it is possible they had been sent to the game reserve as their punishment. Because of this, they may be hated by the wider Yautja society.

Notable Bad Blood Predators include:
The Bad Blood Predator, the first official Bad Blood depicted, from the comic book “Predator: Bad Blood”; a mentally unstable and psychotic Yautja that began a mass murder rampage in New Jersey whilst being simultaneously hunted by an Enforcer Predator.
Devil, from “Predator: Dark River”; presumably killed by detective Schaefer, this hunter had in-fact survived and become enraged and unhinged, killing any outsiders encountered, armed or not, and was hell-bent on finding and eliminating Schaefer.
Tichinde, from “Alien vs Predator: Prey”; an ill-tempered Yautja who exhibited signs of dishonour and disrespect even before truly turning Bad Blood. After leaving his pack leader for dead, he murdered another Predator from his own tribe, and killed several unarmed humans, including children.
Two-Stripes, from “Alien vs Predator: Blood Time”; an Un-blooded Predator who left a fellow hunter for dead and then attempted to claim his Xenomorph kill as his own.
The Mad Predator, from the Alien vs Predator arcade game; he was impregnated by a facehugger, and turned into an Infectoid, which subsequently caused him to go on a murderous rampage.
Poachers; from the videogame “Aliens vs Predator: Extinction”; they were a rival clan using a planet with exclusive hunting rights; it turned out that they weren’t Bad Bloods at all, but were another powerful clan pitted against the players clan, to see who would win in battle.
Swift Knife, Long Spear, and Stone Heart; from the “Predator; Concrete Jungle” game; they were captured by Borgia Industries, and tortured, brainwashed, then turned into cyborgs.
Berserker, Falconer, and Tracker; from the movie, “Predators”; a trio of Super Predators who were at war with the Jungle Hunter style Yautja. They had captured a classic Predator, and crucified him.
And the Assassin Predator; from the movie “The Predator”; a genetically hybridised abomination, he had been enhanced using the DNA of different species to turn himself into a supersoldier.
