Beach Kaiju
CharacterThe Beach Kaiju is a one-off monster from a Season 3 flashback in Invincible. A crab-and-spider-like creature that surfaced on a Florida shoreline in the early 2000s, it battled Omni-Man for what may have been hours before he cut it in two, an early glimpse of Nolan's brutality caught by the GDA.
Appearance
The Beach Kaiju is a hulking creature washed in bluish-green, multicolored hues, its form blending the look of a crab with that of a spider. A hardened shell sheathes its body for protection against physical strikes, and it wields large, sharp claws capable of slicing through most objects and people unless they are of unearthly or powerful origin.
Personality
Little defines the Beach Kaiju beyond raw aggression. Like most creatures of its kind it exists to destroy, driven to rampage against anything in its path and set on killing Nolan once the Viltrumite confronts it.
History
During the early 2000s the creature rises from a beach, possibly near Miami, Florida, where Nolan comes upon it. The two clash fiercely, the monster's strength and endurance letting it hold out against the Viltrumite for what may be hours, long enough to draw the attention of the Global Defense Agency. By the time Cecil arrives by helicopter, Nolan has bisected the beast, its blood soaking his uniform.
