MemberNoobJun-15-2013 3:12 PMI'm guessing from that article that Raiju has some sort of electrical attack. I want to know some the background for the other Kaiju. I can't seem to find anything on the name Otachi. Same goes for Scunner and Scissure.

MemberNoobJun-15-2013 3:39 PMI couldn't find anything on Otachi either and why it's named this. I know it's name is easy to find in the Katakana calligraphy.
I think the book coming out next week or the movie will give more background on the kaiju and their names unless a new featurette is put online about them like was given for the Jaegers.
