A giant mech you pilot with another human stuffed in your skull.
means A hunter — originally someone who tracks and shoots game, and by extension a name borrowed for elite light troops, sports brands, and (thanks to Pacific Rim) giant monster-punching robots.
from From German Jäger, literally 'hunter,' from jagen 'to hunt.' The word entered military vocabulary in German-speaking Europe for sharpshooters and light infantry (hence 'Jäger' regiments and jaegerbombs' cousin, the jägermeister, 'hunt-master'). Guillermo del Toro's 2013 film Pacific Rim borrowed the military sense directly — the mechs are humanity's hunters, sent out to stalk monstrous Kaiju.
