Further fueling the Metal Gear connection is the Magellan Man, a colossal tar-like creature fused with the DHV Magellan, bearing a resemblance to Metal Gear Rex. (A 15" Magellan Man statue is included in the Collector's Edition.) This behemoth appears to function as a Pacific Rim-style mech, battling enormous, grotesque tar monsters.
