Meathead[1] is a Kaiju that appears on the cover of Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero.

Biology[]

Meathead is decorated in hues of green, red and black. The kaiju has two curved horns on its head, four legs and a tail in what appears to be three pincers at the end.

History[]

Meathead is never featured in the narrative of the graphic novel, Tales From Year Zero. He appears on the front cover designed by artist Alex Ross. The Kaiju battles the Chinese Jaeger, Horizon Brave. Meathead was designed by artist Simon Lee.[2]

Known Inconsistencies[]

  • In Tales From Year Zero Meathead is shown at the 2014 Seoul conference[3], leading to the assumption that it is one of the Kaiju's that breached prior to the Jaeger Program's existence, but the cover shows Horizon Brave fighting it, meaning that this is impossible.

Trivia[]

  • Meathead is one of the few known Kaiju that walk on all four limbs, others being Otachi and LeatherBack.
  • "Meathead" is a derogatory term referring to a simple minded individual.
