Skitters Skitters are the ground swarm: six-legged horseshoe crabs crossed with spiders, 2 to 3 meters across, that pour out of the water behind a Leviathan like a second tide. They don't attack mechs. They attack the city. What they are Flat and wide, with an oily black-blue carapace, green glowing lines along the leg joints and a single cluster of pale green eyes. The underside is a grinding disc. They come in the hundreds. What they do Skitters chew through infrastructure. Power lines, bridge cables, building foundations. They flood the streets behind a big kaiju and take a district apart from underneath while the mechs are busy with the thing in front of them. When the lights go out in a ward during an attack, it's usually Skitters, not the kaiju. Chest guns and arm-cannons clear them in seconds, but there are always more than there are seconds.
