The Baby Kaiju was born from Otachi.[1]

Biology[]

The Baby Kaiju appears to bear a general resemblance to the mature Otachi from which it was born. It has a short snout and large, round eyes, framed by a skeletal face.[2] Its skin is thin, translucent and slick with afterbirth. Its general underdevelopment suggests it may have gone on to develop the same attributes as the mature Otachi.[2]

History[]

After Gipsy Danger kills Otachi, Hannibal Chau and his crew of black market poachers move in to harvest its organs and the secondary brain. Newton Geiszler realizes too late that Otachi is pregnant, and Chau and his crew are attacked by the newborn. However, the newborn is ignorant to the fact that its umbilical cord is still wrapped around its neck, and chokes itself in its frenzy. Hannibal also speculates that its lungs are still underdeveloped, so it wasn't able to breathe well on its own.

When Chau moves in closer to the newborn, it rises up and swallows him whole before finally dying. Geiszler and his skeptical colleague, Hermann Gottlieb, use the Pons to drift with the Kaiju's brain and discover the secret controlling the flow of Kaiju coming through the portal. Later, Chau cuts his way out of the Baby Kaiju with his knife, seemingly unharmed by the creature's toxic blood.[1]

Trivia[]

  • During a mid-credits sequence, Hannibal Chau is shown slicing himself out of the belly of the newborn. He is seemingly unaffected by the kaiju's toxic blood or the fact he was inside the newborn for quite some time without oxygen.[1]
  • The Baby Kaiju was bigger than "two bull elephants".[3]
