Powers and abilities
- Kaiju Physiology (Daikaiju)
- Flight (Capable of suspending themselves in mid-air)
- Non-Combat Applicable Light Manipulation (Stated that its body is a glowing white color and can occasionally sport glowing eyes)
- Large Size (Type 1; Consistently drawn larger than multi-storey buildings and humans)
- Stealth Mastery (Performs a sneak attack on Reno Ichikawa by lurking in the skies)
- Inorganic Physiology (Type 2. Furthermore, it is revealed that these beings do not possess brains and thus lack a nervous system; rather, they are being strategically directed by Kaiju No. 9 through the use of a receiver-like organ, which effectively renders them mindless killing machines instead of living beings)
- Energy Projection, Explosion Manipulation, Breath Attack, Damage Boost and Temperature Manipulation (The series' energy attacks are not only able to create explosion, but are also hot enough that upon direct contact, they can vaporize rocks, concrete, steel, and even the human body, leaving behind only a few drops of blood, even an indirect contact is potent enough. The potency of this is dependent on one's combat power, an example being that Gen Narumi with Defense Force was okay with an indirect exposure while a regular solider wasn't and another example being that Kafka could easily withstand a Fortitude 6.4 Kaiju's energy attack yet resorted to deflecting and avoiding Kaiju No. 9's, despite both foes being weaker than him fortitude level-wise. The Third Wave, in particular, can create these attacks through its huge central cavity and is capable of utilizing its energy attack differently, trading its explosive capabilities so it can be a penetrative attack that can be operated over a length of time as well as likely capable of breaching underground bunkers constructed from sturdy materials like reinforced concrete or steel, rendering them extremely resilient to external threats)
Weaknesses
As a kaiju, they possess a core, which is a kaiju's vital organ and weakness, inside of their body; if the core is severely damaged, a kaiju's regeneration is hampered. Although they do not have cores like conventional Kaiju, they instead possess a receiver-like organ in their head that receives signals; therefore, if this organ is destroyed, they will no longer function since they lack brains.
Ranked tied for #12 of 28 in Kaiju No. 8 by strength.
