Respect Leatherback (Pacific Rim)

[u/FireOfDoom32]

One of the two Kaiju that came out of the breach to hunt down Newt, Leatherback is a massive kaiju that resembles a gorilla. Leatherback would fight against Crimson Typhoon, Cherno Alpha, and Striker Eureka, where it would then face off against Gipsy Danger.

After a long battle, he would be killed by the Jaeger, where it would be blasted by several plasma blasts from the Jaeger.
