Preed
| “ | It wasn't just the money the Drej were offering; it was the health plan that came with it. They let me live, provided I kill all of you before they get here. They should be here shortly! | „ |

| “ | Hide and seek is it? Or should we play "Search and DESTROY?!" | „ |

Preedex Yoa (also known as Preed) is the tertiary, later true secondary antagonist in the 2000 animated Don Bluth film, Titan A.E.
He was voiced by Nathan Lane.
Preed is an Akrennian with features of a fruit bat. He appears to have some kind of thin wing membrane across his armpits, and a thick, prominent neck contrasting of his abnormally long, thin limbs and fingers. His left ear is half-missing, shot off in a gunfight with slavers. The damage was patched up with a metal plate, now embedded in his skull.
History
He begins the film as Joseph Korso's first mate aboard the spaceship Valkyrie, but has secretly concocted a pact with the Drej: killing Cale and the entire Valkyrie crew in exchange for a large sum of money, and his life.
Preed is extremely sarcastic and delights in manipulation, antagonizing the rest of the crew, and making thinly-veiled sexual passes at Akima. When he betrays his closest comrades to the Drej and Drej Queen Susquehana, Korso kills him via a snap of his neck.
Trivia
- An unexpectedly intelligent station guard reveals that Akrennian traders always insult the other party when initiating a trade - something Preed was apparently unaware of. This suggests he has been estranged from other Akrennians for quite some time.
