Karloff is a Kaiju of the unknown classification in the 2013 sci-fi monster film Pacific Rim.

Appearance[]

Karloff is thinner than other kaiju. It is mostly olive green in color with some red markings. It has four blue eyes.

History[]

Karloff attacked Vancouver on April 23, 2015. It was killed by the prototype jaeger Brawler Yukon and was the first kaiju to be killed by a jaeger.

Notes[]

  • The Kaiju was modeled and named after the legendary actor, Boris Karloff.
  • It was originally designed with a second mouth located in the center of its chest. However, del Toro believed it was too "obscene" and it was removed.
  • The film suggests that the creature attacked Manila, Philippines in 2014 but also attacked Vancouver, Canada.
