Huo Da is a Category III Kaiju that attacked Shanghai on January 2, 2024.[1][2]
Biology[]
Lower slung and linear, resembles a flat, segmented arthropod, like a centipede or a really long trilobite, more than half a jaeger height. Overall body is lozenge-shaped, covered in overlapping plates of scale or chitin and tail similar to scorpion, with tiny suckers on its belly. It moves in short and fast spurts by propelling itself with some kind water jet like a squid. Big head with four huge hemispherical eyes. Sporting cluster of colossal, armoured, multi-jointed forelegs, all bunched toward the front, beneath the head. Two of the limbs were so long that Ming Hau, one of Shaolin Rogue pilot thought they were either horns or very thick antennae. The two limbs were flexible like tentacle while the smaller cluster of legs are scythe-like. Huo Da’s also have a frog like tongue that can latch onto jaeger.
History[]
The Metamorphosis in Shanghai[]
In 2024, Huo Da swam through the Yellow Sea and heading toward Shanghai in 2024, where Shaolin Rogue duke out with him underwater 800 miles offshore. Huo Da force Shaolin into shore, and that’s when Crimson Typhoon arrive, relentlessly attacking Huo Da, the kaiju bloated and appear dead.
But the most insane part is that Huo Da underwent metamorphosis, the body split in half, and emerged a new Huo Da, sprouting 3 pairs of translucent-blue dragonfly wings. Eight long legs, ended in a foot with six clawed toes. The rear pair were particularly enormous, resembling the jumping legs of a grasshopper.
Huo Da grab Shaolin and flew them in the air, then crashed them into Shanghai world financial center tower. Crimson later shoots it with the plasma rifle. The aftermath of the attack renders the whole business district of the city to be almost uninhabitable due to toxicity.
