パシフィック・リムとその怪獣

The word "Kaiju" is a Japanese word that literally translates to "strange beast," but is often translated in English as "monster." Kaiju may refer to any bizarre creature, but in recent times Kaiju is typically associated with a genre of films originally made popular in Japan in the 1950's.
Kaiju are highly aggressive creatures, especially when engaged in combat. However, they are not clumsy nor do they possess limited intelligence. Working through a hive mind system, the Kaiju can communicate instantly.
The most famous Kaiju in history is Godzilla. Other well-known Kaiju monsters include Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, Gamera and King Ghidorah. Terms related to Kaiju include:
