A Kaiju Tick[1] is a parasitic creature that lives off the bodies of the Kaiju.

Biology[]

Kaiju ticks share their physiology with terrestrial ticks. Resembling arthropods, these Kaiju have round, maroon-colored bodies surrounded by eight limbs. Their heads consist of fang-like mandibles and a proboscis, with two sets of blue eyes, and a third pair of larger eyes behind the head. The sharp tips of their limbs aid in embedding themselves into their victims and will dig deeper in the more resistance is applied. Specialized Kaiju ticks raised by the Sisters of the Kaiju had backs bearing a monstrous insignia of the cult.[1]

Ticks are the largest natural threat to Kaiju.[2] The tick will latch onto Kaiju and inject a venom potent enough to kill at least a Category III.[1] Kaiju ticks can be bred to produce venom lethal to Hybrid Kaiju, including Human-Kaiju Hybrids.[2] However, they have low durability, and are killed quickly with weapons such as guns.[1]
