Although "just a baby,"[9] the massive creature has a high resistance to projectile weaponry. Shells from M-1 Abrams, AT4 rockets, missiles from F/A-18s, MLRS and Mk 82 bombs from a B-2 Bomber failed to do any long term damage to it. It apparently can withstand the United States military's "Mother of All Bombs".[10]
The creature carries smaller parasites which it sheds as part of a 'post-birth ritual.' Abrams described the parasites as "horrifying, dog-sized creatures that just scatter around the city and add to the nightmare of the evening." Reeves added, "The parasites have a voracious, rabid, bounding nature, but they also have a crab-like crawl. They have the viciousness of a dog, but with the ability to climb walls and stick to objects."[8]
Artist Neville Page, in response to claims that the design of creature was similar to that of the creature of the 2006 South Korean film The Host, said, "They are [similar] in that they ravage and seem to originate from the water, but the end results are quite different. However, when I finally saw some of the concept art, there were some very obvious similarities. But then again, I think that we were both channeling similar biological possibilities."[7]
'Cloverfield' is a near direct rip-off of Sin from FFX, minus the magic and floating water schtick and with a slight cosmetic facelift. Hell me and my friends refer to Cloverfield (movie) as 'FFX without the whiny bitches'
I'm not dissing the film (I'm actually very hyped to see it) but the monster seems to pretty much be a direct lift of Sin, not that that's a bad-thing. But Lost boy seems to be getting WAAAAAAAAY too much credit, the mans a shithead.
The cloverfield kaiju, just wouldn't last long against any incarnation of Godzilla, let alone the uber incarnations, like the Heisei version 2 incarnation, GXM incarnation, the uberpowered GMK Godzilla, and especially this incarnation in the fight. Godzilla wins 10/10.
