1:37 , it's more likely that this tattoo is the doing of the pirates whom took over the fallen mech, as a means to flaunt their power and such, this is common practice even within the military; and these being similiar in design just doesn't mean he has a vendetta with Aurath. As in the server; Colwilbald even entertained the idea that dredger could hunt raigars. But i don't think he hunts any invidual kaiju due to his bio; since he's a mercenary for hire. And these kill counters are painted sloppily, leaning towards the pirate band being the one to put it there and it being of differing kaiju.

Wait but isnt there only 1 aurath? Him being described as a king underwater and what not.

Allright uuhh, i really apreciate people actually caring about the lore instead of just crying about how the godzila and company kaijus are gone but uhh, this is just wrong.
In dredgers lore it says it was once a "great builder of old" from a faction called Arcem, there arent any other mentions of that faction in the game so lets just say it was one of the main factions of the world that had a kaiju defence sistem, probably something that hapened before the 6 divine(aka the original hestatus and his yet to be released fellas) were even made because hes specifically mentioned as old and he doesnt look modern at all compared to hestatus, and im sure that faction had many diferent mech models or copies of diferent models, or who knows since its the 6th mech and its so strong even tho it was abandoned for a long time then maybe it was the original 6th divine, it could easily be that since we dont know anything about arcen, this gets a litle contradicted because of the mechs design but theres an explaination.
The lore then say's it was found by a mercenary group called the ocean scourge or smth similar that found the mech abandoned underwater and rebuilded it (as stated in the lore) "plate by missmatched plate", now probably they had to make some replacements because if it was abandoned underwater then probably it is because it got destroyed in a fight, all of this explains the rusty old and uneven design, the mercenaries did the best they could with what they had, and it worked well because these guys are stated to protect whoever pays enough from kaiju treats.
As stated in akatsunes and zarathans lore, titans atack boats  frequently, so of course people will need something to protect them, the world goverment with its army of gladiatorial copies could help but they are probably too busy protecting the big islands and arent specialized in underwater fighting,so the only alternative is these guys, prety good business ngl.
I supose there are many auraths and zarathans, they must be from a not yet extinct species each, we probably play as the special ones but since there are vulkaizen and incineros npc bossfights then probably yeah there are many.
Now the reasons why there are so many aurath things well, its kind of a stretch but the answer is that the ocean scurge guys are REALLY goofy pirate wannabes(come on man literally if you reach level 100 the name of the mace roars change to jokes, the literal title of the mech could have been something epic like hestatus saying"humanitys last guardians" but nooo it only says "IM DREDGING IT"😭), wich explains why the goofy pirate flag, and since auraths are probably the weakest species by far they have to constantly fight it, wich  explains why they make pictures of them like if they are goofy weaklings, the amount of skulls might be kaiju kills but i doubt it would be so low, maybe the auraths run away(seems easy since dredger is so slow), so im guessing its either something like rank even tho theres only one, maybe its the captain or some sort of medal of honor for certain actions. Or its "elite" kaiju kills, like idk a maxed out zarathan, im guessing levels are canon because the npc bossfights spawn with random levels
Also i think theres a loading screen of dredger fighting zarathan so yeah they fight those too, they are probably really hard to kill.
They probably fight saberyus too but i cant relate any of that to space aliens man thats too much, the only kaijus that are MAYBE aliens are ablecross, malacive and vargoth, since they look diferent to any other species in the game and have some space references in their lore.

Hestatus’ description mentions that it was a replica of a member of a fallen group of mechs known as the gladiators - is it possible that the Dredger is one of the original members, rebuilt using scrap? It is also mentioned in the description that at some point they were used in a great culling of Kaiju - this could have been Aurath’s species.

Read the lore for him in the description of the Kaiju itself.  its not some Alien dude it was an abandoned mech that was put back together by Pitres and is piloted by a group of pirates, dude. pls read the lore in his description first. His decision also hints towards the lore of the overall ku game world, something about the new world mentioned in his and Sakura's lore .

I wonder if pre-takedown ku is part of the lore as the world that got destroyed

I have my own theory with Ramthore
in the game its "the lightning beast" but i have reason to think Amorpesce, Carimoch, Lauroth (MB), and Talacrone are all related like some kind of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse
HEAR ME OUT first they 4 have those limbs in the chest, wich seem to be used to "absorb" some kind of energy (like a parasite or a mosquito) and they all have electric powers, at least visualy, since Lauroth and Talacrone dont use it as a weapon, another thing i mentioned the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse because they match (kinda)
Conquest (white horse) → domination and power. Talacrone its called the "spear of the sky" because of they´re speed, spears are usually used as a symbol of conquest
War (red horse) → violence and conflict. Lauroth was a "God" worshiped by humanity as some kind of apostle, they named him "The Moonlight Beast" do i have to say more?
Famine (black horse) → scarcity and hunger. Carimoch is literally called a plage, self explainatory
Death (pale horse) → mass death and destruction. Amorpesce used to be some kind of anphibian but then some kind of "Zombie flower" killed her and took her corpse

Now, how is this related to Ramthore? Simple, the 4 horns of Ramthore have some kind of lightning that its aiming at somewhere, each horn would be one of the previously mentioned Kaijus, he works like some kind of mythic Kaiju that comes to "make what has to be done" and all of this will be following the thunders who foreshadow his presence, like he was chasing some kind of electricity, electricity also seen in the previously mentioned horsemen

idk about this, im not pretty sure but i cant get so many "coincidences" out of my mind, tell me what you think

nice theories

Ku has above decent lore, for example, “The Gladitorials” which is a legion of mechas, there was 6 of them (7 in the recent update idk) the 3rd gladiator being hestatus, then for Aurath tho, yea love this video’s theory, but in this lore Aurath also has another enemy fighting for territories, which is Akatsume, then for vargoth, he was born from death of a star, hence his nickname “the stardeath” there is still a lot of lores i might have not known

I think the jolly roger on Dredger's shoulder is the Seamine Scourge's (the pirate crew that pilots Dredger).

Dredger is confirmed to be own by pirates, so the skull is just a pirate logo

The skull could also mean its a form of piret

I feel like they got a lot of reference from crimson typhoon

I could never imagine that if ku was never taken down, what will happens next after biollante remodel released...?

raigar could be dredger's common enemies too (i only said this becase one of raigar's roar is called the dredge)
also you need raigar to even get dredger soooooooo

All I can remember of the Acrem was that it was mentioned in Incineros’ lore.

“Rebel legends go that a grand champion of this species will one day break down the gates of Acrem.”

And a teaser from a long while back showed what looks to be a different Incineros... could that one be the foretold champion?

I like this about Lore but Dredger was just I feel think that Dredger was from Deep underwater. Like Big Daddy or Underwater suit guy lol. I don’t think he actually like a Warhammer. 🔥

And I think I saw Zaratan has pretty get scar or broke his own spikes from fighting happen?

Prometeo Games tomorrow: You guessed it 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

What I really wish people would talk about is the Spires and the kaijus that live within it
