Trespasser, also known as Axehead, is a minor antagonist of the Pacific Rim film series. He first appeared in 2013 science fiction film titled Pacific Rim as a minor antagonist. He also briefly appeared in the graphic novel Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero, again as a minor antagonist. In the games, Trespasser servers as a playable DLC character in Pacific Rim: The Video Game, and as a unplayable character in Pacific Rim: The Mobile Game.
Trespasser is a kaiju that was created in another dimension called Anteverse by highly advanced race of sapient aliens known as Precursors in order to completely wipe out human race on Earth so aliens can take over the planet for themselves. Passing through interdimensional portal named the Beach at the bottom of Mariana Trench, Trespasser made his way towards North America. Trespasser has made a landfall in San Francisco at August 10 2013, causing Magnitude 7.1 Earthquake and ripping the Golden Gate bridge in two, sinking hundreds of civilians trapped on it. Conventional weapon has proved completely used against the beast, who proceeded to lay waste in San Francisco, Oakland, Hayward and San Joe for the next 6 days.
Not seeing any other solution, the United States of America decided to resort to a use of nuclear weaponry before the kaiju can destroy more cities. Trespasser ultimately met his demise when three tactical nuclear missiles were launched at him. The consequence of the Kaiju's death was permanent rendering of a city uninhabitable, as well as overall catastrophic damage to his remains. However, this did not stop the military from removing the monster's skull from his corpse before putting it at the public display on museum.
Personality[]
Not unlike other Kaiju in the films, Trespasser doesn't show much of any sort of personality. He displays an extreme aggression and hostility towards human race, being seemingly instinctively drawn to major cities where it can cause most damage. While he seems mostly ignorant to military's assault, Trespasser often occasionally destroys jets that fly too close to him.
Design[]
Trespasser is a colossal semi-humanoid monster with a wide crest-like portrusion on top of his head, bioluminescent-orange interior of mouth, set of disproportionally long arms, smaller set of arms on his chest, turtle-like outer shell, wide fin on his back, bish-like feet, and short tail, standing upright on two small hind legs; Trespasser stands at 302 ft (92 m) tall and weighs 2780 metric tons. Exposed areas of the monster's body are covered in smooth dirty-green skin with orange glowing veins, although his color scheme can be altered in Pacific Rim: The Mobile Game to gray with white veins, reddish-gray with bright-blue veins, gray with bright-green veins, azure-blue with yellow veins or meaty-red with crimson veins. He has large visible flesh gap between ulna and radial bones, making them appear as if they are actually fused. Hands end with three digits with sharp claws, which can penetrate concrete.
Abilities[]
- Anteverse Kaiju Physiology: As a Kaiju, colossal bio-engineered extra-dimensional creature, Trespasser is extremely powerful creature, armed with the arsenal of supernatural powers and attributes, such as:
- Immense Strength: Although rather average for a Kaiju, Trespasser possesses a colossal amount of physical strength thanks to his size; for example, it was able to rip apart the Golden Gate bridge like spider's webbing simply passing through it, as well as effortlessly devastate large skyscrapers and knock jets out the air without even being aware of it.
- Immense Durability: Being specifically created to eradicate humanity, thick skin covering Trespasser's body grants him near-impenetrable hide; for example, according to film's novelization, he took three tactical nuclear weapons to kill it, resulting a devastation of Oakland and his bay. Otherwise, it is completely unaffected by high-caliber ammo, tanks, missiles and many others.
- Caustic Blood: Blood running in Trespasser's veins is phosphorescent in nature and extremely deadly to the environment and human beings, rendering areas touched by it uninhabitable and releasing toxic vapor all over the city. Direct contact with a drop of Trespasser's blood also makes human body go into shock, as stated in novelization.
- Expert swimmer: Trespasser has been designed to survive both on land and depths of Mariana Trench. Pummeling his massive body into move thanks to its massive limbs, Trespasser can travel through an entire ocean to the city within a span of few hours.
- Sharp claws: Trespasser's palms end up with long razor-sharp sickle-like claws, allowing him to easily tear through man-made structures.
- Self-Substenance: Despite his immense size, Trespasser does not need to eat, drink, sleep or even breathe. This makes him immune to any type of poison.
- Fireball split: Trespasser demonstrated a power to split powerful fireballs, although only in the video games. His orange veins all over his body begin to emit an intense light for a few seconds, before unleashing a single large fireball. Even well-armored Jaegers and other Kaiju are powerful enough to knocked off their feet from the sheer kinetic force of this attack.
