Kaiju No. 2 (
Appearance[]
Kaiju No. 2 is a olive-green kaiju with a round stocky body covered in rocky plates, a long rocky tail and short thick arms with three fingers each. It has a white reptilian-like head with fourteen shining yellow eyes and a large mouth full of sharp teeth.[1]
Its former appearance as a Numbers Weapon was that of a scaly black armor and two silver-colored metal gauntlets, reaching the wearer's biceps and sporting two large black pipes on each forearm.[1]
Since being absorbed by Kaiju No. 9, No. 2 has now regained his original form, although fused with No. 9's improved form and drastically shorter than before.[3]
