Frightcrawler is a Category V Kaiju.

Biology[]

Frightcrawler is a worm-like Kaiju, having a segmented orange body with several legs and small spines on its back, while underneath it is red armor. This Kaiju has bilateral symmetry, as it has a head on both ends of its body. These heads consist of an extensive oral cavity with four toothed prongs around it, and the back of the heads possess three pairs of eyes on rectangular eye stalks.

Each head controls one half of the body and is able to act independently, which allows Frightcrawler to regenerate itself as two new individuals should it be physically split apart.[1] Unlike other Kaiju, Frightcrawler's tissue and internal fluids are red, despite the bioluminescent blood veins on its body appearing blue.

History[]

Pre-Blackout[]

Frightcrawler is one of the three kaiju that emerges in a breach in Australia. It attacks a city along with Hammerhorn and Jawhide. Frightcrawler battles with Vanguard Horizon, where it wraps itself around the Jaeger and constricts it. After finishing off Hammerhorn, Striker Berserker slices Frightcrawler in two with its blades to free Vanguard from the hold. The cut halves of Frightcrawler suddenly revive themselves as separate kaiju, and each lunge at the two Jaegers. Striker tears the Frightcrawler remnant apart, while Vanguard blasts the other one into pieces before the Frightcrawler can reach the cockpit of the Jaeger, killing the creature.[1]
