The Precursors are a race of extradimensional alien species who created the Kaiju and are native to another dimension, the Anteverse. They only appear in EvanVizuett's crossover series, War of the Worlds x Pacific Rim.
Biology[]
Precursors are spindly creatures who stand over twelve feet tall, and are capable of living for millions of years. Their appearance is akin to that of an aquatic insect. They have translucent wings and shell-like bodies that reveal their internal system. They have elongated, crest-like heads and protrusions that stem from their heels, and small, opal eyes that are reminiscent of the eyes of a shark.
Culture[]
Precursors operate on a type of clerical hierarchy that typifies the fashion and culture of pre-revolutionary nobility in France. Depending on their appearance and position in their society, Precursors are given the ranks of "Cardinal", "Bishop" and "Ambassador". Their ranks are reflected in the design of their wide and flat crowns.
Precursor civilization relies heavily on bio-mechanical implements. They live inside large towering formations that are part of the environment and they use cages to maintain the cloned Kaiju.
Trivia[]
- According to Guillermo del Toro, the Precursors' appearance is meant to reflect “alien madness”. These creatures are so otherworldly that looking into their eyes would be "terrifying".
