- "Although small, these creatures are quite deadly, as they love to strangle their victims to death. Much care should be taken when destroying, as the Kaiju's tentacles are able to continue to live separately from its body."

Kaiju are small, but deadly, monsters which strangle their victims with their tentacles. They have a symbiotic relation with Mind Leeches.
History[]
At an unknown point, a Kaiju was captured by the Lakewood Troop.
The Great Punkin[]
The captive Kaiju is among the captive monsters which escape courtesy of a power failure. It is seen escaping with the other monsters.
It is presumably recaptured with the other monsters.
Tentacle Face[]
The Troop chase a Kaiju through the forest, and attempt to capture it. It attempts to attack Jake, but is vapourized by Lance Donovan.
Before Lance destroyed the Kaiju, however, one of its tentacles detached from its body and latched onto Felix's head.
Felix constantly tries to get the tentacle off, but when Hayley tries to scare the tentacle off with a Screaming Tree Weasel, the tentacle viciously attacks the Weasel and almost strangles Felix in the process until Hayley sedates it.
Eventually, the tentacle detaches from Felix's head, but leaves an ugly-looking bulge on his forehead.
The Next Stop: Lakewood[]
A Kaiju is attracted to the Lakewood Mental Hospital by Gus's monster magnet, along with a Quadro-Gob and a Locht, and attacks and presumaby kills the doctors there.
Later in the episode, another Kaiju (or possible the same one) attacks some humans at a barbecue. However, Jake, Haely and Felix manage to capture the Kaiju and bring it to the Lakewood Troop headquarters without anyone getting hurt.
It's All in the Game[]
The presence of gamers possessed by a Mind Leech causes three Kaiju cross to the Human World and attack. Jake and Hayley blast the trio, killing one and forcing the other two to retreat back through the portal they came through, which closes behind them.
A Kaiju about to attack Kirby
In the same episode, for the same reason, the two Kaiju which survived the previous incursion attack a video game convention, but are once again forced back into their world by Jake and Kirby.
A group of possessed gamers, including Jake, arrive at the same location of the first Kaiju crossing, where the same two Kaiju arrive from the Monster World to consume them. However, Hayley and Kirby arrive in time to destroy the two Kaiju.
Behaviour[]
Kaiju are vicious monsters, and use their tentacles to strangle their victims.
Biology[]
Appearance[]
Kaiju are small with reddish-pink skin, two double-jointed legs, and, in place of a body from the waist-up, five squid-like tentacles which each end in an eyeball.
Special Abilities[]
Kaiju are extremely agile, and their tentacles can separate from their bodies and act independently.
Weaknesses[]
Kaiju have a small size.
Trivia[]
- Kaiju is a Japanese word that means "strange beast" or "unusual animal," but often translated as "giant monster."
- A running gag is that Jake keeps mispronouncing the Kaiju's name as "Kaeju"; Hayley then pronounces it correctly for him, but Jake and Felix mistake it for a sneeze.
- In the episode, "It's All in the Game", the Kaiju is shown to have a symbiotic relationship with the Mind Leech.
- The Kaiju is one of most recurring monsters in the show, if not the most recurring except for the Snark.
- The Kaiju's profile on the Troop official site states that there are three monsters of this species in Troop captivity.
- Although even the Troop's official description states that Kaijus are small monsters, the Kaijus that appears in later episodes are actually at least as large as humans.
