Dek's design has been criticised by some fans due to the human-like hairline that the predator has and the shaven look on the sides. Typically a Predator's dreadlocks come out of "sockets" in their skulls, also the "dreadlocks" are not actual hair but a fleshy or smooth appendage that has even shown to be able to bleed in some media.
