About this converter
The first Pacific Rim film published stats for its kaiju, so the monsters can stand beside the Jaegers. Trespasser, the first kaiju, stands 92.05 meters. Knifehead follows at 96, Mutavore at 90, Otachi at 63 and Leatherback at 81.38. Raiju at 100 and Scunner at 134 climb past them, and Slattern at 181 meters doubles almost everything. Every figure here comes from the Man, Machines and Monsters art book and the DVD promo kaiju files, the same sources as the Jaeger table.
How to use it
Pick two kaiju and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Slattern against Leatherbacks. The unit box converts the size to meters or feet.
Slattern rows 181 meters upright; crawling it drops to about 90 meters, noted here. Scunner and Raiju row full body length as listed in the files, since quadrupeds mix height and length, and the note says so. Uprising kaiju such as Raijin, Hakuja, Shrikethorn and Mega-Kaiju use a separate stats set and stay out of this film only table. Category numbers measure threat, not size, so a Category III can outsize a Category IV.
