Clover

Clover is the main antagonist in the film 'Cloverfield.' Although never actually given a name, fans refer to the monster as Clover. It is a deep-sea creature, possibly an alien/frog-like mutation. Clover rampages through Manhattan, destroying everything in its path. Clover is a 350 feet high quadruped with a long fork-finned tail. The creature has a high resistance to projectile weaponry. Shells from M-1 tanks, AT-4 rockets, 80 Mk 82 bombs and other high powered ordnance failed to do anything other than aggravate the creature. Clover was also covered in 2,000 parasites that are about the same weight and height as a dog. They have 10 legs, consisting of six spider-like, double jointed legs and 4 "pincers" on the top and back of its body. Clover has outstanding physical capabilities, even though he is doing it out of fright and defense. His body has adapted to harsh conditions (especially undersea pressures) which makes him virtually invulnerable to any form of weaponry that humanity can throw at, and during the movie it was shown that he is indeed strong enough to rip the statue of Liberty's head off and throw it with ease like a baseball. Clover is very criticized because he looks ‘retarded.’
