the largest and most dominant Kaiju ever to Breach, Slattern used its superior size and strength to impose its will

POWERS ▍
trio of triple crowned tails and highly-resilient, leathery reptilian scaling

& BLURB;
Slattern is the biggest, smartest, most resilient of the Kaiju, far more formidable than any foe the Jaegers were conceived to battle. Says del Toro: "I wanted very much for the final Kaiju to be the devil. I always loved very much that moment in Fantasia when Chernabog opens his wings in Night on Bald Mountain." Slattern's fight with Gipsy Danger, tumbling around volcanic vents near the seabed, certainly had a hellish feel.
"I wanted him to come out from the depths of the ocean, and his head to not be horns but evoke that," says del Toro. "It has a real mean intelligence. He is the only real Kaiju whose head looks like a real crown, so it has majesty. I wanted very much to have him be clearly the king of the Kaiju."
To establish his size, Slattern even gets an entrance shot reminiscent of the dragon Vermithrax in Dragonslayer.
Slattern's chief weapons are his whip-like tails. Del Toro advised the animators to think of a kung fu master in a martial arts movie using magical canes. "[Del Toro] wanted a similar sort of feeling for the way Slattern swirls his tails around in the water in a circular way," says Hal Hickel. "You don't quite know what it's doing with them, and then suddenly they can just splash out and strike."

WHAT WE LEARN FROM THE GAME;
                                                      [aka some of this is probably headcanon]
• Slattern is capable of walking on two legs, however it heavily hampers his speed.
• Despite being able to walk on two legs he does require at least three legs on the ground for some attacks, and all four for his more powerful ones.
• Balance issues!
• Hunchy walk!
• Slattern is capable of generating electricity.
• Based on the name of his attacks, this electricity he generates is likely to assist in stunning (and occasional killing) of his target.
• This electricity is also likely used as a defense mechanism, as in common in actual electric rays.
• He is capable of an extremely concentrated electrical attack in the form of a super duper powerful mouth beam of death!
• His super electric death beam of death takes some time for his body to charge up, thus leaving him vulnerable for a short period of time.
• Going on electric rays once more, his generation of electricity would likely have emotional triggers as well.
• Slattern is likely resistant in some sense to electrical shocks.
• He is adorable when knocked down.
• Slattern has a dinosaur movie like rumble when he wins.
• Slattern really is a better fighter underwater or on all four legs, as it utilizes his actual speed.
• His attack "Electric Ray" is likely named that because 1) it's electric and 2) it's a ray or beam... But he's coloured like certain types of electric rays so I feel it's duel purpose, deal with it. Because I cannot unsee and it's late.
