For as long as life existed, there have been Kings.
And none have been immortalized like the King of the Monsters.
Alpha predators, protectors of order, paradigms of the ideal kaiju and the strongest of their collective race. From the mightiest warriors to the weakest parasites, all beings know to respect their King. Becoming the King of the Monsters is only second to becoming a Guardian of the Earth in terms of prestige, but no less powerful. For thousands of years, each King has left their mark on the planet through their stories, passed on by their worshippers for millenia.
But unlike the peaceful process of becoming a Guardian, the mantle of the King is decided not by merit- but by might. Those who want the crown must take it by force, for Nature decides that only the strong may bear the crown. In that sense, anyone can be King- so long as they have the strength.
The current King is a younger reptile of blue fire, gifted and burdened by the power of an atom bomb. Most kaiju are ambivalent to his presence, as the King does not usually interfere with any of their affairs. But there are some who see a weakness in the King, and plan to retake the planet for themselves.
When one Guardian leaves their post, another schemes for the demise of what that has been for decades.
The time for change is now.
Let the Coronation begin.
