u/Vquillicate

They first appeared in White Dwarf 515. I can't read the article but I haven't seen any lore about them so I'm assuming there's none. I'm not sure if they're even canon. The following lore is just my interpretation.

Founding Chapter: Unknown

Founding: Unknown (Early M36)

Chapter Master: Kurem Kalil

Homeworld: Tanjin

The Clementine Knights are a successor chapter founded in early M36. They've been tasked with defending the prominent Agri-World Tanjin. Located in the Segmentum Obscurus its infamous for producing sweet orange fruits that Imperial elites around the galaxy love.

In the five millennia since the chapters founding they've garnered many honors, whether it was the beheading of Ork Warboss Urg The Star Eater or The Purging of Hedonia, the Clementine Knights have cemented themselves as a reliable force within the Imperium.

Tanjin has not shared in this success. Once considered "lush" and "clean" by Agri-World standards by late M41 the world has devolved into a wasteland so toxic and polluted even the Clementine Knights hesitate to travel to the planets surface. This pollution has also effected the Knight's neophyte trials, with less and less passing with each generation.

After the opening of the Great Rift Tanjin has seen near constant invasion by the forces of Nurgle. While the initial forces were held back with some success, the Clementine Knights command are contemplating ordering Exterminatus on the planet and moving on.

Chapter culture:

Due to protecting a world highly valued by the Imperium's elite the Clementine Knights have fostered a close relationship with some of the wealthiest in the Imperium. Within the Segmentum Obscurus it's not uncommon to see a high ranking noble guarded by two company veterans (one of the highest honors a marine in the chapter can receive)

The chapters cult believes the Emperor is a god and its the chapters divine duty to protect his empire and those who rule it. Marines in the chapter do not care for the average Imperium citizen, willing to sacrifice thousands of civilians to save the life of a single noble. This attitude has led to strained relations with the Imperium's human military, with fights between Marines and Guardsman during missions being common.

How would you write the Clementine Knights lore?

Some of us thought it was a god, some still do. Others believed it was a freak accident, a one off tragedy never to be repeated. We were wrong. On August 10th, 2013 what we now know as a kaiju emerged from deep beneath the ocean and attacked San Francisco, the first shot in a war for our survival.

We all remember the images from K-Day, Trespasser ripping the Golden Gate Bridge in half, his body covered in fire and debris as he rampaged through the wharf, a mushroom cloud tinted blue with blood as Trespasser lay twitching in the bay.

We all thought Trespasser was dead. But two hours later he jerked himself awake and headed for Oakland. Oakland fell in less than a day. By midnight he was done with the city and moved to Hayward. Just like Oakland Trespasser spent the day ravaging the city, making sure not building was left standing.

Eventually he made his way down to San Mateo, where he was struck again by a nuclear bomb. Just like days prior we watched and prayed as he laid still in the smoldering ruins of the city, hoping that it was over.

For a second time we watched in horror as Trespasser rose like a corpse, his skin melted away and glowing blue blood pouring from every inch of his body. The immense beast, ceaseless in its effort to destroy us, clawed and scraped its way through the night towards San Jose.

There on the morning of its sixth day of destruction it was struck with one final nuke. A bomb stronger than everything before it. We were promised it was a kaiju killer. It would put an end to this divine retribution.

From a hidden site hundreds of miles away in the mountains the warhead was launched. A nuclear arrow aimed directly at the heart of Trespasser. Whether it was luck or something else the arrows path was true. Upon contact the minuscule warhead burst with the fury of a small star. It blew open Trespasser's stomach like a balloon, the force flipping the monster on its back. Unable to move Trespasser was forced to watch the dawn of a day it will never see. With a final shudder as it tried to breath from lungs that didn't exist anymore the beast was finally put down.

With tens of thousands dead and millions missing K-Day, and the following week, became the worst tragedy in American history. The attack was many firsts. The first attack on US soil since World War 2. The first use of atomic bombs in warfare since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And the first time the kaiju entered our lives.

- Felicity Kincaid, Kaiju War Historian

Got inspired by a post a few hours ago covering the chapter, so I decided to make the chapter using SM2 and take some photos. Never heard of these guys before but their heraldry is pretty neat.

So I've heard from a friend that Hiya Toys is looking for a new monster IP to pick up. And they asked me to make a post asking all of you to make some noise so Pacific Rim could be picked next. (its just a rumor for now but who knows, if its true it could be pretty big for the community + it could send a message that we want more PR figures released).

I included a picture of a Robocop mech as an example of the companies attention to detail when making robots as a potential example of how detailed a Jaeger model could be. I also included Shimo to show what a PR kaiju could look like.

To me I think any new toy would be great, and I really like Hiya Toys figures. They're not cheap but they are highly detailed for their price and their posing is usually great, same with their quality. If they make their figures in scale with the Monstervserse figures that would be amazing. Imagine the photo opportunities.

Hiya would also be a good replacement for Lingihun's line for when that's eventually cancelled someday.

1:11:28 (Image 2)
Crimson Typhoon is prepared to strike Otachi in the neck. 1 second later the Jaeger notices the tail

1:11:29 (Image 1&3)
Crimson Typhoon immediately blocks the unprotected Conn-Pod with one of its arms.

1:11:29 (Image 4)
Instead of striking the Jaeger's head Otachi hits the Jaeger's unprotected back. This staggers the Jaeger forward.

1:11:30 (Image 5)
The blow knocks Typhoon forward and for a split second its defenses fall.

1:11:30 (Image 6)
Otachi prepares its killing blow while Typhoon is staggered.

1:11:32 (Image 7)
In the 2 seconds it took for Otachi's tail to come down on Typhoon was already prepared to block the blow, even if it wasn't the best block.

1:11:32 (Image 8)
Despite the block Otachi was able to bypass the Jaeger's defenses without hitting its hands, allowing the kaiju to grab onto the Jaeger's head.

1:11:33-34 (Image 9&10)
Otachi's tail claws breach the Conn-Pod.

1:11:46 (Image 11)
For 10 seconds Crimson Typhoon puts up a fight against Otachi, and might've tried to grab its tail with its right arms.

1:11:47 (Image 12)
The attempt failed and Crimson Typhoon's Conn-Pod was crushed, killing its pilots instantly. Note: See the bit of the sawblades in the top left, I theorize those could've been an attempt at grabbing or cutting Otachi's tail off.

1:11:49 (Image 13)
Otachi twists and decapitates Crimson Typhoon.

1:11:50 (Image 14)
The Jaeger is destroyed. The 7 time savior of Hong Kong is dead.

When facing off against Cherno Otachi throws the crushed Conn-Pod into the harbor.

In the codex file for Osseus it was once referred to as the Gore fields of Jekkad, suggesting the region is an older part of Hell (maybe not long after Davoth was betrayed).

However in the temple to a High Council member (most likely Ozalith the Old Mother) (Image 2) in the entrance there is a mural with an alter to what looks like a Cosmic Elemental or Xal'Goroth himself. On that same mural we see art of Cosmic Barons fighting (Image 4).

I think this temple implies that the Cosmic Realm has had a much older relationship with Hell than previously thought, maybe even one of reverence, and that Ozalith is tied to that relationship somehow.

With 3.0 they expanded the in game map of New Eridu in all directions, which could tease at the location of some places we know exist but haven't seen / or been identified yet.

All of the green regions are labels I added. Also despite the geographic errors in the official maps locations, I decided to keep them here for simplicity's sake.

Places I added and my explanation for them.

Eridu Ruins - While not green I added this to the right of Hollow Zero just like what we see during the first lore teaser (Image 2)

Expansion Zone - Also white on my chart despite not being in the in game map. The same reason for the Eridu Ruins applies here, though I suspect most of it would be outside of the map.

Faunus Quarter - Faunus Quarter is described as being under construction / having constant land development. I put it with the expansion zone since they fit thematically. Realistically the label should be off the map.

Vulcan Quarter - In all honesty I don't have much of an explanation beyond there being no other regions of New Eridu (below The Chasm) where another district could be. Judging by the Janus and Throne Quarter they are fairly large, so just like the Faunus Quarter its most likely off the map.

Minerva and Pluto Quarter - Both of these regions had parts of them swallowed by Hollow Zero during The Fall of the Old Capitol. That means both have to be above The Chasm.

In all reality both could be swapped with each other and should be farther apart. I just included them next to HZ because the Hollow overlaps each other.

Helios Academy - Helios Academy was in the Minerva Quarter, so I put it near the label and right on the border of HZ. I am unsure if Helios was swallowed by HZ, but it is a restricted zone. Honestly it could be anywhere in the northern part of the map.

Papago Hollow - Also not on the in game map and not green, but we know the Hollow is in the Outer Ring but not the one near Blazewood. Since the island / high plateau that makes up the Outer Ring seems to end in the South I assumed it is to the east of Blazewood.

Cretan Hollow - The Cretan Hollow is on the border of Janus Quarter and neighbors the old Capitol. If we assume just outside the right of the map is another Quarter / The Expansion zone that would place this Hollow right on Janus' border.

The only problem is the Cretan Hollow is one of the Six Great Hollows, but unlike Lemnian isn't labeled. However we know that the Cretan Hollow has many companions Hollows, which the large unnamed one is surrounded by a bunch.

Dead End Hollow - Despite hosting a massive Ethereal the Dead End Hollow is actually pretty small (image 3). Out of all the small Hollows surrounding the (Cretan?) Hollow its the only one that covers water, thus needing a bridge to access the cut off community on the other side (The main plot point of Chapter 1's ending).

14th Street Hollow - The 14th Street Hollow is a small one (at least in the start of the game) so I just chose the next smallest one after the Dead End Hollow.

(B)? Hollow - Honestly no clue what Hollow this could be. Maybe its the one that trapped one of the Proxies in the games first interlude/intermission, or it could be a more significant Hollow. I honestly don't know

(A)? - This Hollow is a mystery to me. This map was its first appearance and the beginning of season 3 was its second ever appearance. Maybe its a small companion of one of the Six Great Hollows, or some offshoot of Hollow Zero.

All of this is speculation, so I could be completely wrong on everything. I also could've missed something crucial which could change up the entire map. Especially with the possible Cretan companion Hollows, either of those could be wrong in my eyes.

If there is anything I missed I'd love to know.

Stationed permanently in the Hong Kong Shatterdome (2017-2024)

Mokoi, Cat II, Darwin (Australia), August 20, 2017;

Deployed alongside Mark-3 Vulcan Specter, the pair of Jaegers intercept the kaiju in the Beagle Gulf. During the battle the kaiju proved resistant to most of the Jaeger's attacks. Mokoi eventually pounced on Vulcan Specter and began an attempt at biting the Jaeger's upper torso/head. Shaolin Rogue responded by firing its Shooting Stars at the kaiju, blinding both the kaiju and Specter. At the same moment Specter's pilots fired their Plasma Cannon point blank into the kaiju's torso. The shot sent the kaiju flying back and ripped a hole in its stomach, killing it.

(Mokoi looks like a cross between Onibaba and a snapping turtle. It was covered is bright blue armor and thin crab like legs. Its head rested inside of its torso, where it used its long neck to strike out and bite at Jaegers)

Razorfin, Cat III, Okinawa (Japan), September 6, 2018;

Deployed alongside Mark-4 Echo Saber, the pair of Jaegers intercept Razorfin off the coast of Okinawa but the battle quickly moves onto land. There Echo Saber is disabled by the kaiju and Shaolin Rogue is severely damaged. Razorfin escapes the island and begins swimming towards Shanghai, but Shaolin Rogue gives chase. For 1 hour Shaolin Rogue chases the kaiju in open sea, and eventually manages to kill it. But in the kaiju's death throes it damages the Jaeger and causes it to sink with the kaiju's corpse.

(Razorfin looks exactly like image 3)

Scrooge, Cat I, Tasman Sea/Christchurch (New Zealand), April 20, 2020;

Deployed alone in the Tasman Sea, Shaolin Rogue was sent to intercept the kaiju in deep waters before it could make landfall. After a brief skirmish Scrooge is able to escape from the Jaeger. The kaiju would later be killed by Solar Prophet and Scepter Lion off the coast of Christchurch.

(Scrooge was bipedal similarly to Itak and Ragnarok. Sprouting from it's back was a pair of arms that wrapped forward and split into 2 more individual arms, totaling 4 arms. Its face was also humanoid, with a giant under bite that took up most of the kaiju's head. It had a very small brain)

Chang, Cat II, Bai Tu Lang Bay (Vietnam), February 17, 2021;

Deployed alone off the coast of Vietnam the fight goes poorly very quickly. Chang rips Shaolin Rogue's Meteor Chain out of its arm very early on in the fight, essentially disabling its right arm. The kaiju uses this opportunity to escape and attempt to make landfall but an hour later Rogue catches up with the kaiju in Bai Tu Lang Bay. During the fight Shaolin Rogue gets pinned against a cliff as Chang repeatedly tries to crush the Jaeger's Conn-Pod. Nova Hyperion is sent as backup but won't arrive in time. Rogue decides to trade blows with it's Carbide Lance, and after 20 minutes of back and forth fighting it is able to kill the kaiju by skewering its brain.

(More on this fight and the kaiju's description here)

Taurax, Cat III, Mindanao (Philippines), July 24, 2022;

Shaolin Rogue is deployed to protect Palau in case the kaiju deviates from course. Taurax does not, instead continuing to the Philippines where it is killed by Striker Eureka

(To be revealed in the Mechapedia)

Tentalus, Cat III, East China Sea, September 7, 2022;

Deployed alongside Mark-4 Crimson Typhoon, the Jaeger pair are sent to fight Tentalus before it could make landfall. Shaolin Rogue manages to fight and kill the kaiju while almost completely submerged.

(To be revealed in the Mechapedia)

Interlude:

Following the Tentalus Incident Hong and Patel were found murdered inside their apartment. The culprits were never found. Ou-Yang Min-Hau and Suyin are assigned as their replacements.

Rakshasa, Cat IV, Singapore, May 1, 2023;

Deployed alongside Mark-1 Horizon Brave and Mark-4 Crimson Typhoon, the Jaeger trio intercept the kaiju in the Singapore Strait. During the fight Rakshasa uses its spear like tongue to pierce the left side of Shaolin Rogue's Conn-Pod, almost killing its pilots. Eventually the kaiju is killed when Crimson Typhoon shoves its Plasmacaster into the kaiju's mouth and fires it, killing the kaiju and melting half of the Jaeger's arm.

(More on the fight and kaiju's appearance here)

Huo Da, Cat III, Shanghai (China), January 2, 2024;

Originally deployed alone due to Crimson Typhoon's deployment being delayed. Rogue intercepts the kaiju 100 miles out to sea, but the battle quickly moves to the coast where Crimson Typhoon is finally deployed and kills the kaiju.

However Huo Da undergoes metamorphosis and a new winged kaiju emerges from the old ones corpse. This new Huo Da picked up Shaolin Rogue and flies away with it and throws the Jaeger into the Shanghai World Financial Center. Shaolin Rogue separates it's arm, dropping from the kaiju to give Crimson Typhoon a clear shot. Typhoon kills the kaiju. But as Shaolin Rogue hits the ground its Conn-Pod is crushed, killing the Ou-Yang's instantly.

(Kaiju appears the same as in canon)

Aftermath:

Shaolin Rogue's remains would be taken to Oblivion Bay, but shortly after removed and its metal recycled to help build sections of the Anti-Kaiju wall in Shanghai and Beijing.

In 2025 Dr. Newton Geizler would break into Shaolin Rogue's sealed off repair bay and steal extra components for its Pons System. He would jury rig these components to allow him to drift with a piece of Mutavore's brain. Later Dr. Herman Gottlieb would join his colleague in using Rogue's Pons System to drift with a dying Baby Otachi.

Eden Assassin

 

Mother’s drunken yelling the smell on her breath sister’s refusal the sting of the slap on her cheek the giant grinning man sounds of cameras clicking flashing lights exposed before everyone the embarrassment fear and anger aimed at mother inside the safe life savings ticket to freedom run run run need to protect her learn to fight betrayal kaiju on the news sign up mother’s protest new father not our father Cophony rising from the sea claw through its brain celebration world record, Vladivostok, Anadyr, Jindo, Alaska, Magadan, heroes Echo Saber down not again

Present. Alisa and Alya Petrova were in the Drift.

“Initiating neural handshake,” LOCCENT control informed them.

And now they were Eden Assassin

And Eden Assassin was not alone. Beside the old Jaeger was a relic. The two hundred and fifty-five foot tall frame of Romeo Blue treaded through the water the same as Eden, its bright blue paint contrasting against the dark waters of Russia. Inside its Conn-Pod was Bruce and Trevin Gage, legends of the Mark-1 glory days. Just like the sisters they had a storied career, but all of their battles were in the Americas. Up here the Americans were out of their element. Normally LOCCENT would’ve sent someone from Anchorage, probably Brawler Yukon, or if they were lucky, Chrome Brutus. But a fault was found in the Shatterdome’s Jumphawk refueling system so Los Angeles sent Romeo Blue instead.

“Romeo Blue in position, Miracle Mile.” A voice said over the comms, probably Trevin Alisa thought. “Romeo Blue holding the coastline. Beacon is on.” came the same voice.

“Eden Assassin in position, Miracle Mile.” Alya relayed into the comms. “Eden Assassin holding the coastline. Beacons on.” Said Alya, a ping sounding through the Conn-Pod as the Jaeger’s radar located Romeo Blue a few hundred feet away.

“Rangers, keep your eyes open. Just because this is a Category II doesn’t permit you to be lazy.” Ordered the voice of Marshal Konstantin Scriabin, his English heavily accented.

Gutterball had dropped off K-Watch’s sensors a few minutes earlier, requiring the Jaeger’s to actively patrol the Miracle Mile. After a few minutes of patrolling Eden got a small blip on its radar, followed by a massive form emerging from the water on the Jaeger’s right. The second Gutterball was upright it began running towards the city, passing the Miracle Mile in seconds.

“Eden coming up on your 3 o’clock!” Yelled Scriabin.

But Eden was already in pursuit of the kaiju. Unlike Romeo Blue the Jaeger was built for speed. It used to be the fasted in the fleet but has long since been overshadowed by newer generations. But they weren’t here, and Eden was. After a few seconds they caught up with the kaiju and leaped, the Jaeger’s rear jets provided much of the lift. On their way down Alya moved her arm to sucker punch the kaiju in the back of… whatever its body was.

The punch landed with a satisfying thud, thousands of tons of force being applied to what Alisa thought was the kaiju’s back. But suddenly pain shot up through both of their left arms, searing flesh rendering pain. Eden’s sensors warned them that their left hand and forearm was covered in a thin layer of acid that was began eating away their armor. The area where they had punched the kaiju was now surrounded by a noxious cloud of acid. Alya or Alisa, neither of them knew who noticed it first, realized that all the lumps on the kaiju’s body were likely sacks of acid.

“LOCCENT. Its covered in some type of acid, we can’t touch this thing!” Yelled Alya into her comms.

Before LOCCENT could respond one of the Gage Twins yelled for them to get out of the way, which wasn’t a problem since Gutterball had ignored their punch and kept up its march towards the city.

From Romeo Blue came a two beams of bullets from its gatling guns inside its chest. Even a mile away Alisa could hear the buzzing of the oversized guns firing, they reminded her of the A-10 Warthogs the American’s sent to fight Cophony out at sea. Unlike Cophony these bullets had an effect on Gutterball. From somewhere inside the kaiju it roared in pain as its right side suddenly exploded with the barrage of bullets. All over the kaiju its acid sacks began exploding, releasing clouds of acid that engulfed the kaiju. But this began to work in the kaiju’s favor as it now hid inside cloud, but not for long.

Just as quickly as it disappeared it reemerged from the cloud, seemingly unperturbed by the hundreds of holes in its body.

“Eden go defend the coastline, Romeo keep the heat on the kaiju but do not engage it” Ordered Scriabin in LOCCENT.

Alisa could tell Alya didn’t like being sidelined like that, neither did she, but they both followed their orders. As they both got Eden Assassin to a full sprint they could hear Romeo Blue’s continue barrage on the kaiju. Both of them thought the Marshal’s plan had sound reasoning behind it, but Eden wasn’t built for defensive combat, that would better fit Romeo Blue. They also knew that at a top sprint Gutterball could probably beat the old Mark-1, so Eden will have to do in the meantime.

As they ran Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky came into view, like most cities it couldn’t be fully evacuated so most of its population was huddled inside bunkers underneath the city. Miles off the coast the flashes of Romeo’s battle could be seen in the fog. Alisa hopefully thought Romeo Blue could kill the kaiju before it reached the city, but she doubted it.

“ETA five minutes on your position Petrova’s.” Warned Scriabin.

So the Marshal also believes Romeo can’t stop the kaiju thought Alisa with Alya’s silent agreement felt in the Drift. Either way both prepared to intercept the rapidly approaching kaiju which had now exited the fog and could be seen clearly. Now that they were in front of the kaiju they could see it had a face, or what resembled one. Deep inside its bulbous chest was a small bony lump. Alya though it looked like a hairless bulldog with four eyes. As it charged towards the city it looked at Eden with pure hatred for blocking its path. The sisters responded in kind by outstretching their arms to block the kaiju and prepare for the inevitable pain of the impact.

But Gutterball didn’t ram them like they thought it would. With surprising flexibility for a creature that was essentially a ball with legs it leaned to the side and leaped at the Jaeger. Its massive bulk crashing into the Jaeger and sending it tumbling over backward. Whether intentional or out of luck it used its non-damaged side bash the Jaeger, with almost all of its acid sacks erupting on contact. Alisa and Alya screamed in pain as they attempted to roll and stop the Jaeger from sliding further into the city. Sensors and warnings all around the Jaeger were reporting massive damage to their outer layers of armor, most of it completely dissolved away.

“Eden give it a rest for a bit, we got this” Came a voice from Romeo Blue’s comms.

Off in the distance Alisa could see Romeo Blue arriving in the city and sucker punching the kaiju in its right side. With shocking speed Romeo pivoted to face the kaiju and began pummeling its face, its hydraulic fists delivering punches faster than anything the sisters could deliver with Eden.

But Gutterball was seemingly unfazed by the flurry of punches even as its face was being turned to blue mush. It was still advancing into the city one step at a time. Romeo Blue tried to dig its feet in as much as it could, but the Gage’s weren’t able to get a foothold and kept slipping.

Alisa and Alya willed the Jaeger to get up from the ground, and the great machine followed their movements. But Gutterball’s acid must’ve done more damage to them than they thought. The Jaeger’s joints were stiff and its gears were slipping, causing every joint to shudder as it moves. Alisa read the Jaeger’s readouts, less than half of its systems were offline, that was good enough for the both of them to fight.

“Eden stay down! We’ve got this… What th-” Said one of the Gage twins, sudden shock filling his voice.

Alisa could see what drew their attention. Now that the kaiju was in the center of the city it suddenly stopped moving. From underneath its skin something began to ripple – no – expand. Its skin, a mishmash of patches of armor and differently colored pieces of skin, began to expand at the seams where one piece ended and another began. In the Drift Alisa could feel Alya’s confusion at the kaiju’s sudden expansion. Was something going to crawl out of it like in Panama? Whatever was happening the Gage Twins seemed to recognize what was going to happen.

“Petrova’s! Watch ou…” Yelled on of the Gage Twins as Romeo Blue hugged the kaiju.

In the split second they had to prepare Eden Assassin took a knee to brace for whatever was about to happen. Not a second later they were blinded by a flash of bright white light, followed by a sound louder than anything they’ve ever heard before. And then everything went dark.

 

…

 

Miraculously their Drift somehow hadn’t been broken. As Alisa could feel her sister come to the same realization at her. Gutterball blew up. Outside the world was dark, darker than before. They couldn’t have been out for that long or they wouldn’t be in a Jaeger. No, that was not the sky, it was smoke thought Alisa. She and Alya looked upwards, Eden barely responded. Above them they truly see what was in front of them, a mushroom cloud. Inside it were the signature blue streaks of aerosolized kaiju blood. In the Drift Alisa could feel Alya’s shock and horror. Were they nuked? No that couldn’t be it, the blast must’ve come from Gutterball.

With that sudden realization they both looked to where Gutterball and Romeo Blue were standing. All that remained was Gutterball’s legs standing upright as if its body was still there, and the shattered remains of Romeo Blue’s lower half. Alisa realized that everything behind Romeo Blue had been spared from the worst of the damage, including Eden Assassin.

“Eden! E-en! Do you c—y! Petrova’s!” Yelled Scriabin into the comms.

“We’re here LOCCENT.” Responded Alya, her voice strained and hoarse.

“Petrova’s get out of there! Somethings crawling out of the kaiju’s remains!” Scriabin continued to yell.

Alisa could see what he was talking about. Off in the distance tiny creatures were tunneling themselves out of Gutterball’s remains. All kaiju’s had parasites, but some were worse than others, and the ones from Gutterball looked downright evil. Each one was shaped like a snake, with a head shaped like a drill bit. Each one tunneled out of the kaiju by spinning itself rapidly. As they hit the ground they continued spinning, digging themselves under the rubble and travelling who knows where.

“Eden prepare for pickup. An orders been given to the city to evacuate, that includes you.” Commanded Scriabin.

He knew they would protest thought Alisa, and in the Drift she could feel Alya’s rising protest. The thought of another Jaeger dying on their watch was agonizing. They swore to never let it happen again after last year. But the Jaeger could barely move, it likely couldn’t even stand up. After a few minutes she could hear the sound of Jumphawk’s nearby, followed by the Jaeger being lifted limply into the air.

 

…

 

In the following weeks after Gutterball’s attacks the parasites multiplied and spread across the Kamchatka Peninsula. Luckily the creatures weren’t aquatic and couldn’t burrow more than a meter below the ground so they couldn’t spread further. At great cost the PPDC declared the entire peninsula to be lost and restricted any and all civilian entrance. This didn’t stop kaiju organ harvesters from secretly entering the peninsula and hunting Gutterball’s parasites. The creatures were prized for their leather, with the top Kaiju Organ harvesters almost always included in their outfits.

 

Romeo Blue’s very limited remains would be brought to Oblivion Bay by a barge. But they were shortly taken out and recycled down for steel to help built the Los Angeles Anti-Kaiju Wall. Extensive efforts to search for the Gage Twin’s remains were made, but the official conclusion was they were instantly killed in Gutterball’s self-destruction.

Vaulimi
Guayaquil, Ecuador
January 11, 2017
Category: II
Jaeger(s) Deployed: Lucky Seven, Diablo Intercept
Killed by Lucky Seven and Diablo Intercept

Passed Miracle Mile: Yes
Made Landfall: Yes (not in city)

Battle Description:
The Jaeger pair intercepted the kaiju at the mouth of the Rio Guayas. For 3 hours the Jaeger's slowly lost ground until the battle reached Isla Santay. On the island Lucky Seven jumped onto the kaiju's back and used its arms to force the kaiju's mouth open, allowing Diablo Intercept to fire its flamethrowers directly in the kaiju's throat. This burned the kaiju's mouth and ignited the noxious fumes emanating from the kaiju, triggering an explosion directly below the kaiju's brain. The blast liquefied the Vaulimi's primary brain, killing the kaiju instantly.

Kaiju Description:
Vaulimi was crocodilian in appearance. It had 8 legs (4 on each side) and a prehensile tail. Its back and head was covered in thick armor plating, but the inside of its underside and inside of its mouth were unarmored. It had grayish-blue skin with orange bioluminescent patterns on its body. It attacked with both its gigantic jaw and prehensile tail, biting or grabbing Jaegers.

Kaidan
Coast of Da Nang, Vietnam
March 16, 2017
Category: I
Jaeger(s) Responded: Horizon Brave, Acid Geisha
Killed by: Horizon Brave and Acid Geisha

Passed Miracle Mile: No
Made Landfall: N/A

Battle Description:
Kaidan was intercepted a mile out from Da Nang Bay at the Miracle Mile line. For 2 hours the Jaeger pair fought the kaiju. The kaiju was killed when Horizon Brave used its cryo-cannons to freeze the kaiju's legs, trapping it in place. Then from a distance Acid Geisha used its acid sprayers to shower the kaiju with acid, eating through its thinly armored skull and killing the beast.

Kaiju Description:
Kaidan looked similar to an iguana. Running down its armored back and to its tail was rows of small quill-like spines. It's legs were very stubby, and combined with its small body it was the shortest kaiju to ever emerge from The Breach. This was mostly a disadvantage but it allowed the kaiju to occasionally dip under water and hide from the Jaegers, necessitating it being frozen in place for the kill. It frequently used ambush tactics against Jaegers. It had smooth dark black skin with blue bioluminescent swirls covering its body.

Socorro
Panama Canal, Panama
May 3, 2017
Category: I
Jaeger(s) Responded: Puma Real, Solar Prophet
Killed by Puma Real and Solar Prophet

Passed Miracle Mile: No
Made Landfall: N/A

Battle Description:
The PPDC didn't know where Socorro would emerge, requiring Puma Real to guard the Panama Canal and Solar Prophet to guard the city. The kaiju emerged near the canal where it was fought by Puma Real. Solar Prophet arrived minutes later to assist the solo Jaeger. After many of its spikes were broken off or dulled by both Jaeger's missiles, Solar Prophet used its chest beam to burn the kaiju's face and knock it off its feet. This gave Puma Real the opportunity to use its claws and partially decapitate the kaiju, killing it almost instantly.

Kaiju Description:
Socorro closely resembled a thorny lizard. Covering its body was dozens of hardened spikes that made it almost impossible to grab the kaiju anywhere. This included the face, where 4 curved horns protruded from its skull. It had mottled dark blue spin with patches of light gray. Small bioluminescent streaks of yellow ran along the kaiju's side, ending at its eyes and mouth. It attacked predominantly with its body, attempting to use its hardened spikes to pierce Jaeger armor.

Cophony
Vladivostok, Russia
June 14, 2017
Category: I
Jaeger(s) Responded: Eden Assassin
Killed by Eden Assassin

Passed Miracle Mile: Yes (failed interception)
Made Landfall: No

Battle Description:
Cophony was intercepted 2 miles off the coast of Vladivostok. The kaiju was heavy armored all over its body, preventing Eden Assassin from doing any real damage to it. To overcome this Eden Assassin tore off the kaiju's front claw and jammed it through through the bottom of the kaiju's skull. The claw skewered its brain and killed the kaiju immediately. With the fight lasting just under an hour it became the fasted recorded kaiju kill, only to be beaten by Gipsy Danger in 2025.

Mokoi
Darwin, Australia
August 20, 2017
Category: II
Jaeger(s) Responded: Vulcan Specter, Shaolin Rogue
Killed by Vulcan Specter and Shaolin Rogue

Passed Miracle Mile: No
Made Landfall: N/A

Battle Description:
Mokoi was intercepted by the Jaeger pair 10 miles off the coast of Darwin in the Beagle Gulf. After 3 hours of fighting the kaiju pounced onto Vulcan Specter and attempted to bite at the Jaeger. To save the downed Jaeger Shaolin Rogue fired its Shooting Stars at Mokoi, the flash temporarily blinding the kaiju and both Jaeger's sensors. While still blinded Vulcan Specter seized the moment and fired a point blank Plasma Cannon shot into the kaiju's stomach. The blast flung the kaiju off the Jaeger and tore a hole in its stomach, causing the kaiju to bleed out and die in the bay.

Kaiju Description:
Mokoi resembled no known Earth creature. It had 4 crab-like legs and was covered in chitinous armor. Its head rested inside its body but protruded outward on a long flexible neck. Its head was similar to a snapping turtles, with a giant tooth it used to bite at Jaegers. It's armor was light blue with darker blue skin underneath. It's armor had thin yellow bioluminescent streaks covering its body.

Yamarashi
Long Beach, Los Angeles
October 17, 2017
Category: III
Jaeger(s) Responded: Solar Prophet, Gipsy Danger
Killed by Solar Prophet and Gipsy Danger

Passed Miracle Mile: Yes (failed interception)
Made Landfall: yes

Battle Description:
Yamarashi tore through the HMS Queen Mary, cutting the ship in half and destroying the Queensway Bridge before moving onto Terminal Island. Both Jaegers were then deployed into the mouth of the Los Angeles River, where Solar Prophet fired a missile barrage from its shoulders. The missiles did nothing to the kaiju which forced Gipsy to take over the fight. Eventually Gipsy was able to kill the kaiju by garrotting the kaiju with a crane cable and decapitating it. The acidic blood from the kaiju's neck almost dissolved through Gipsy's Conn-Pod, forcing the Jaeger to wash it off on the nearby water.

(Due to most of the fight taking place in an oil field neither Jaegers could use their incendiary weapons out of risk of igniting the entire battlefield)

Nagual
La Paz, Mexico
December 19, 2017
Category: II
Jaeger(s) Responded: Matador Fury
Killed by Matador Fury

Passed Miracle Mile: Yes
Made Landfall: yes

Battle Description:
Nagual quickly broke through Matador Fury's defense of the Miracle Mile and made landfall in the city in record time. In the city Matador Fury had to frequently dodge or block Nagual's deadly charges. After 5 hours the Jaeger's pilots felt their drift beginning to fall apart. In one last ditch effort the pair grabbed onto the kaiju's horns and shoved its head to the ground. They then proceeded to pummel the kaiju's head until its armor and one of its horns broke. When the kaiju charged again Matador Fury forced the kaiju to the ground again and stabbed the horn in between the broken armor protecting the kaiju's brain, killing it instantly.

Kaiju Description:
Nagual looked remarkably similar to a bull. Its body was heavily muscled and covered in thick leathery skin. Its head looked very similar to Scunner but with smaller horns. Similar to Scunner the kaiju had gray skin with green bioluminescent markings. Despite being large and bulky the kaiju was deceptively fast, charging at its opponents in a hope to skewer them with there horns.

Drops: 5
Kills: 4

Launched October 30, 2016

Weapons: Shoulder mounted Anti-Kaiju missiles, Chest mounted beam (draws heat from the reactor and fuel cells on its back to fire a beam out of the emitter in the Jaeger's chest. A more refined version of Gipsy Danger's fuel purge)

Stationed permanently in the Lima Shatterdome (2016-2021)

Socorro, Cat I, Panama Canal (Panama), May 3, 2017;

Deployed alongside Mark-2 Puma Real. Puma Real was deployed to protect the canal, while Solar Prophet was sent to protect the city. The kaiju ended up attacking Puma Real first, forcing Solar Prophet to move in to assist the Jaeger. After a two hour long battle the pair were successful in killing the kaiju and preventing any damage to the Panama Canal.

(Socorro appeared similar to a cobra. Black skin with yellow bioluminescent marking (similar to Knifehead). Like cobras it had a hood around its neck that it used for intimidation)

Yamarashi, Cat III, Long Beach (Los Angeles), October 17, 2017;

Deployed alongside Mark-3 Gipsy Danger, the Jaeger pair intercept the kaiju a mile out to see. But Yamrashi quickly breaks through their defense and crashed through the Queen Mary, cutting the ship in half. Solar Prophet fired its missiles but they deflected off of the kaiju's back as it crashed through the Queensway Bridge. The Jaegers fight the kaiju in the port, with Gipsy eventually decapitating the kaiju with a crane wire. This covered the Jaeger's Conn-Pod with acidic blood that began to eat through the Conn-Pod, forcing Gipsy's pilots to wash the Jaeger off in the ocean.

Bokugan, Cat III, Lima (Peru), October 2, 2019;

Deployed alongside Mark-3 Matador Fury and Mark-4 Hydra Corinthian. Solar Prophet was tasked with guarding an incoming cruise ship (that Stacker Pentecost's wife was on) but the Jaeger deviated course by a few miles. Bokugan then caught up with the ship and destroyed it, killing all on board. The kaiju was intercepted off the shore by the other Jaegers, and eventually Solar Prophet caught up with them. During the shoreline battle both Solar Prophet and Matador Fury were critically injured, with Solar Prophet losing function of its lower right arm and Matador Fury having its left arm ripped off. The kaiju was eventually killed by Matador Fury beating it to death with its severed arm

(Bokugan appears like a rattlesnake. Blackish leathery skin that is covered in scaled armor. like rattlesnakes it had a rattler, but it also functioned as a spiked club. The kaiju frequently attack by coiling up and launching at its foes with extreme speed and trying to bite into them)

Scrooge, Cat I, Christchurch (New Zealand), April 20, 2020;

Deployed alongside Mark-4 Scepter Lion. The kaiju was originally intercepted by Shaolin Rogue is the Tasman Sea, but the kaiju got away and swam below the island and headed towards Christchurch. There off the coast the kaiju was intercepted by Solar Prophet and Scepter Lion. Eventually after a 3 hour long battle the Jaegers were able to kill the kaiju.

(Scrooge was a very humanoid kaiju similar to Itak and Ragnarok. It walked on 2 legs and had 4 arms. 2 arms protruded from the kaiju's back, which wrapped around its torso and split into the 4 separate arms. Each arm ended in a clawed hand with 4 fingers. Its head was less humanoid, appearing to be almost all lower jaw with a small head)

Cadejo, Cat III, San Salvador (El Salvador), July 19, 2021;

Deployed alongside Mark-4 Hydra Corinthian, the Jaeger pair intercepted the kaiju off the coast but the kaiju made it past their defenses and made landfall in the city. In the city Solar Prophet was pounced on by Cadejo, proceeded by the kaiju ripping, clawing, and biting at the Jaegers upper torso. This forced the Jaeger's pilots to eject from the Jaeger as it was destroyed. Both pilots survived.

Puma Real was sent in as reinforcements and the it and Hydra Corinthian were eventually able to kill the kaiju.

(Cadejo looks remarkably similar to a Viperwolf from Avatar. It has 6 legs, a smooth body, and a long snout and a mouth full of teeth)

Solar Prophet's body was taken to Oblivion Bay, but a year later it was taken out and melted down and recycled for steel to be used in the Patagonia Anti-Kaiju Wall.

u/No-Town6472 asked an interesting question, and my comment got too long so I'm making it a post instead.

Post test:

>In the film, it was literally able to hurl Gipsy Danger with its bare hands and before thst, punch straight to Cherno Alpha's body and was able to rip its reactor. A strength level of 6 makes it less stronger than knifehead which had a strength of 7 and in the movie, it is literally the opposite

Leatherback looks strong, especially compared to Knifehead. The best example is the arms. Knifehead's arms (especially its forearms) have very little muscle compared to Leatherback.

But Knifehead's strength is not in his arms like most would think, instead its in his back. Looks at Knifehead's neck, down through its back, and to its tail. That is all pure muscle. Now look at Leatherback's back. Its more noticeable in the film but its almost all fat, no muscle at all.

In fact Leatherback's most muscular part of its body is only its arms, while Knifehead's entire neck, torso, and tail is very lean and muscular.

As for why Leatherback could throw better than Knifehead, despite being physically weaker. Think of it like humans and an orangutan. Orangutans are reportedly 5-7 times stronger than the average human, but a literal child can thrown an object better than them. This is due to the shape of there arms.

Due to a variety of reasons orangutans arms are significantly thinner than a humans arm (mostly shape and what type of muscles they use). But despite having less muscle mass than we do they are still stronger than most people. The same can be applied to Knifehead and Leatherback. Leatherback has more bulk but less strength. Another example would be a professional body builder compared to a professional weightlifter. The weight lifter's muscles are generally smaller, but more efficient and thus stronger.

I could be wrong with some of this, but that's my two cents on the matter.

Drops: 5
Kills: 3

Launched: December 15, 2016

Pilots Koyi Hirofumi, Aki Seto

Weapons: Acid sprayers (forearm mounted), Wrist mounted daggers (retractable)

Stationed in Tokyo Shatterdome (2016-2017), Nagasaki Shatterdome (2017-2021)

Kaidan, Cat I, Coast of Vietnam (Vietnam), March 16, 2017;

Deployed alongside Mark-1 Horizon Brave, the Jaeger pair are successful at killing the kaiju just off the Miracle Mile.

(Kaidan is a small lizard-like kaiju. Very low to the ground and covered in scales and chitinous armor. About as basic of a kaiju as you can get. It holds the record as the smallest kaiju ever recorded)

JD-19, Cat II, Jindo (South Korea), March 6, 2019;

Deployed alongside Mark-2 Eden Assassin and Mark-4 Nova Hyperion. Alongside Eden Assassin, Acid Geisha was sent to front line the harbor while the newer Mark-4 would protect the coastline. The kaiju made it past them and made landfall in the city, where after a 3 hour battle it killed by Eden pulling back one of its armor plates, allowing Geisha use its Acid Sprayers on the kaiju's bare skin. The acid was able to eat through the kaiju's flesh and kill it.

(JD-19 looks like a cross between a horseshoe crab and a pill bug. Underneath its armor it had hundreds of small legs that allowed it to travel extremely fast. However underneath its armor was soft and weak skin)

BA-20, Cat II, Bandung (Indonesia), January 22, 2020;

Deployed alongside Mark-4 Scepter Lion, the Jaeger pair failed to intercept the kaiju off the coast. Instead they intercepted it just outside the city. Although the kaiju still made landfall in the city the Jaegers interception of it allowed for the city to be fully evacuated. Inside the city the pair struggled to get close to the kaiju on account of its giant mouth and clubbed tail. Geisha resolved to use its Acid Sprayers at long range, giving the kaiju severe chemical burns at the cost of multiple city blocks.

However the chemical burns still didn't stop the kaiju. Eventually in an attempt to end the battle Scepter Lion picked up an oil tanker and threw it at the kaiju. The tanker blew up in the kaiju's mouth and lit the insides of the kaiju on fire, eventually killing it.

(BA-20's front half was like a whale, with a large under biting jaw (made of teeth instead of collagen), but its back hald was a giant muscular tail with a bulbous club on the end. This tail was large enough and heavy enough that one good swing of it could potentially cripple a Jaeger (image what Otachi's tail did to Gipsy in Hong Kong but even larger and heavier)

Gwisin, Cat III, Busan (South Korea), May 5, 2021;

Deployed alone off the coast of Nagasaki, but Geisha failed to intercept the kaiju and it made its way towards Busan, where it was killed by Tacit Ronin and Nova Hyperion.

Kobayashi, Cat III, Malacca Strait/Kuala Lumpur, June 18, 2021;

Deployed alongside Mark-4 Echo Saber, the Jaeger pair were charged with guarding the mouth of the Strait of Malacca. They successfully intercepted the kaiju but the battle went poorly. Acid Geisha was quickly overwhelmed and its acid reservoirs in its back were bursted. The resulting acid dissolved much of the Jaeger's spine, crippling it. Kobayashi then landed a heavy blow on the Jaeger's Conn-Pod. Though the blow didn't destroy the Conn-Pod the Jaeger fell over in the water and never moved again.

Ranger Aki Seto was killed with that punch

Kobayashi would later be killed by Cherno Alpha, Scepter Lion, and Echo Saber in Kuala Lumpur.

(Kobayashi looks remarkably similar to Leatherback. However it has faceplates covering its face (in fact it doesn't even have eyes) and instead sees through echo location. Unlike most kaiju it makes either ear piecing clicking noises. It also is capable of a sonic roar, that can stagger a Jaeger or temporarily deafen a Ranger. Its body is also similar to Leatherback but skinnier and less muscular (like how an Orangutan compares to a Gorilla).

Acid Geisha's body would be moved to Oblivion Bay. Shortly after it was taken out and melted down for metal to help build the Nagasaki Anti-Kaiju Wall. While all of the Japanese Jaegers were famous, Acid Geisha would routinely be ranked at the bottom of polls due to it only being deployed in Japan once and its controversial pilots.
