Otachi is a leader like kaiju from the 2013 movie Pacific Rim.

Appearance

Otachis anatomy consists of two short legs and long, four digit hand-wings that bear a striking resemblance to those of a Pterosaur which she can use to fly. Her wings are stored inside her forearms for protection, folding out from an elongated, double-jointed fifth digit. Otachi is capable of flight to the edge of space, even when her legs are carrying something as heavy as a Jaeger. She has a long barbed tail with bony plates along her spine, as well as three prehensile pincers on the end of the tail; the tail is a potent weapon that can be used as a club or a claw against Jaegers.

The facial structure of Otachi is made up of a long neck, plated and ridged, and her head includes a large, powerful jaw and is marked by a signature crest between her forehead and her snout. The golden dots on her crest may look like eyes, but her real eyes are behind the crest on the side of her head. The crest is curved in the front, with a long, sturdy spike protruding from the back for protection of the eyes.

The bottom jaw is capable of splitting in two to spit from the pouch (below the maw). Her tongue has a flowering and bioluminescent structure which she apparently uses either as a grasping mechanism or sensing organ (similar in function to a snake's vomeronasal organ). She also has a sac under her neck that can be engorged to spit out a blue, extremely corrosive acid, as seen when it melts the thick armor of a Jaeger and when it easily liquefies the side of an office building.

Trivia

• "Otachi" is a noun and a "polite term for calling, departing, and staying where one is". "Otachi" is often confused with ""ōdachi" (大太刀 great sword^?).
• In the novelization, Otachi's tail acts independently of the rest of her body after it is severed by Gipsy Danger
  • Otachi's pain threshold appears to be much greater than other Kaiju. One example being that even after losing her tail, Otachi still steadily flew into the atmosphere while carrying a Jaeger in her talons.
