Age of the Titans

by GojiGrimlockSaurus

In honor and tribute of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, this one-shot series will mostly focus on Godzilla and King Ghidorah. This will focus on how each fictional universe will react to them and other Titans when they stomp into the fray. As monsters vie for supremacy, all hell will break loose, and nothing will ever be the same. As one wise scientist said, "Let them fight."

Threat Rating:

Moderately High to Extreme

Species:

Titan superspecies of gigantic, basal archosaurian reptile with genetic roots extending back to the Carboniferous Period. Possibly related to the ancestral line leading up to the divergent families of ornithodirans (dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and birds) and crocodylomorphs (crocodiles, phytosaurs, aetosaurs, and rauisuchians), though genetically closer related to the latter. Godzilla's species has evolved physical characteristics convergent to other groups of the archosaur family: Having two pillar-like feet with huge toe claws and a thick yet very long, whip-like tail similar to a sauropod, three rows of large jagged, maple-shaped dorsal plates akin to that of a stegosaur, a osteoderm-laden, scaly hide similar to that of a crocodile albeit the armor plates were more tightly packed, and a powerful jaw several times more powerful than a Tyrannosaurus rex, with the exception of a pair of brawny, powerful arms with hands having four sharp-clawed fingers and an opposable thumb, which allows them to grab on to their prey or surroundings; a trait normally possessed by great apes.

Godzilla is possibly the last surviving member of a species of gigantic, amphibious, bipedal crocodylomorph descendants of basal archosaurian reptiles that existed in an unknown era of time when the planet was bombarded by ten times the radiation than it is today. He and his species ruled Earth probably during the Permian Period as ancient apex predators, keeping in check other radiovorous gigafauna before the Permian-Triassic Event forced him and others like him to flee deep underground, or to the deepest parts of the ocean where they managed to sustain themselves with the planet's natural geothermal radiation from its core. Godzilla remained dormant underwater for hundreds of millions of years with the exception of the Maastrichtian Stage of the Cretaceous Period when the Earth experienced a longer period of explosion of radioactivity levels that were recently found to be twice as potent as the Permian Period's, which spawned a greater evolution of newer Titans. After the extinction of the dinosaurs, he became dormant once more, appearing occasionally at various points in human history, inspiring the mythologies of several cultures.

Nature:

Bio-Atomic

Behavior:

Protector/Destroyer

Unique Features and Abilities:

His crocodilian-like scales and plates are nearly diamond-hard with some being spikier scutes. This is what makes him extremely impervious to conventional and some of the most powerful superhuman abilities, thus earning him the distinction of being the most destructive unstoppable force of nature in existence.

Equipped with powerful jaws capable of biting through the hide of Anguirus, known for their capability of withstanding a direct hit from a MOAB, a pair of strong arms to grapple and hold on to its opponent, a long whip tail capable of leveling buildings with ease and breaking the bones of other Titans, Godzilla's physical capabilities also allows him to tackle or overpower monsters that are of the same size or larger than him. Other than that, Godzilla's own roar can be heard at least 10 kilometers and can temporarily deafen his opponent, stunning them for a few minutes. This makes Godzilla and his species one of the more strength-oriented Titans.

Godzilla is specifically evolved to absorb and metabolize radiation effectively thanks to his large maple-shaped dorsal, spinal plates that store up excessive nuclear energy for further use in battle or lean times when radiation is less plentiful despite being carnivorous in nature as he had been reported to prey on whales occasionally. It is this adaptation that allowed him and other Gigafauna like him to survive.

Godzilla is able to expel excess radiation in the form of his Atomic Heat Ray, a Chernokov radiation-laden beam of plasma energy, resembling blue fire from his mouth thanks to his own biological nucleo-synthetic organ located between his esophagus and trachea. This attack both burns and poisons his opponents and the environment with deadly radiation, and now it is more potent thanks to the cosmic radiation of the inter-dimensional portals. He has been discovered to possess another ability, which is when he generates and releases the excess radioactive energy via battery-like muscles on his right and left flanks and through the pores existent between his scales as an EMP-like shockwave called 'Nuclear Pulse', which could short out even EMP-protected electronics within a 200 mile radius and inflict devastating stun damage on other Titans. Godzilla, however, prefers to fight up close and personal with his enemies as his brawny physical stature is more than enough to crush them.

And what remains will be torn apart by wickedly hooked claws and teeth. The force generated by his swinging tail is enough to cause shockwaves through the air, and shatter bedrock.

His eyes can be shielded by ghostly white, diamond-hard nictitating membranes that glow blue like his dorsal plates whenever he's about to charge up his Atomic Heat Ray. Most of his senses are attuned to nuclear energies, including a directional sense of smell, and an "aura-sense" similar to radar that may have evolved in response to a variety of flying enemies. He is most maneuverable in water, capable of powered cruising at over 180 knots. His tail generates moving whirlpools that aid in thrusting him forward with minimal effort, like hydraulic turbines.

Due to his amphibious nature, Godzilla possesses gills on each side of his neck that enable him to extract oxygen from the water. On land, his gills become enclosed by flexible armored scales and he will use his lungs to breathe.

Godzilla's bones are believed to be as strong and dense as titanium, steel, and tungsten alloys. It is this astonishing skeletal structure that enabled him to walk on land without collapsing from his own weight.

Species:

The female of the ancient arthropodal super-species known as Gigamoth, they likely descended from primitive flying insects hundreds of millions of years ago; fossils of a similar form from the Cretaceous later discovered in the United States collaborate this idea. Their exact ancestry is unknown and may never be known because of the kaiju's chimeric genes, incorporating traits of many arthropod lineages, including otherwise extinct ones. Metamorphic life-forms, they hatch as massive grub-like larvae, cocoon themselves within silken chrysalis and emerge as winged adults, a process which appears to be triggered by some environmental factor. The largest known insect species to ever exist, full-grown, their vast scaly wings are more than nine-hundred feet across fully outstretched.

An entire prehistoric, Asian civilization; a lost kingdom, called the Cosmos, was formed around the worship of this super-species and it still survives to this day hidden from the world in the Fairy Mountains. It has likely stemmed from the species' unusual behavior in that they are one of the few Titan species to have a positive relationship with humans as they have peacefully coexisted with the Cosmos for many millennia, and if ancient writings and the oral stories from the Cosmonians are to be believed, have actively protected them from threats in the past. The people in turn nurture and protect the eggs and cocoons of the species as they lay dormant, as their life cycle can take millennia to complete. This symbiosis may be possible due to one of the species' theorized attributes. Having coexisted for so long, much of the information of the Gigamoth species comes from accounts of the Cosmos People who have witnessed such traits that would otherwise be unknown.

In her larval form, she is physically armed with large, serrated claws to slash at enemies or burrow through the earth, and is covered in a thick plate-like exoskeleton as armor. Large bioluminescent eyespots on the thoracic segments where her armor is thickest attract the attention of attackers away from the actual head and fooling enemies into attacking the most well-defended area of the body, letting themselves get close for a counterattack. Large tusk-like horns around the head provide some protection from predators that try to attack the real head. Large vascular filaments running along the underside of the body of the larvae act as gills, allowing the organism to breathe underwater, although these are lost in adulthood in favor of flight. A large retractable barb at the end of the tail is able to inject paralyzing venom, while glands on the two long tails can shoot noxious gases that induce fatigue quickly, and even if not putting opponents to sleep, it can at least make them weaker and unfocused in battle. By swinging the abdominal segments of its body, the larvae can also fling venomous barbs from between its armor plates. This makes it easier for the larvae to entangle them with rope-like silk strands which it can shoot from spinnerets next to its facial horns. Within a few minutes, Mothra can eject a thick blanket of silk which hardens quickly into a compound stronger than steel, but can be quickly dissolved by a specialized enzyme Mothra can secrete on demand. The larva therefore works more to incapacitate its foes rather than to kill them, allowing the larva to escape by burrowing or swimming away, or giving enough time for an adult Gigamoth to arrive to protect its younger kin.

After a certain amount of time of natural development (usually at least centuries), or when induced by an outside factor (such as during a time of urgency) the larva uses its silk to construct a chrysalis that it develops in. This is the shortest life-cycle stage of the species, sometimes lasting only a few weeks, or supposedly even less. From the chrysalis emerges the mature imago form, a vast winged Mothra now free of its heavily armored body. This makes her much less durable than before and incapable of burrowing or swimming, but much faster, more agile, and most importantly, able to fly. Her three pairs of scaly wings end in long, blade-like points that are used to slash and tear at opponents in close-combat, or clipping them in hit-and-run flybys. Mantis-like serrated forelimbs and hooked claws at the ends of her appendages are effective weapons at close range, and in battle Mothra will overwhelm her opponent with high-speed barrages, sometimes outright ramming them in flight, not giving them a chance to retaliate. The imago also retains the spike-like hairs of the larvae within their white, orange-marked fur, and these can also be flung to urticate her foes, with the intention of hitting sensitive regions like the eyes and mouth of an opponent. Mothra possesses a wasp-like stinger at the end of her abdomen that is powerful enough to punch a hole through a monster's thick hide. While not lethal, the venom from Mothra's stinger was sufficient to immobilize and incapacitate a Titan for a considerable amount of time. However, her physical attacks are only secondary to her more specialized defenses, and from these, it is clear how this super-species dominated for so long.

Her body and wings, like those of lepidopteran insects, are covered in numerous layers of very fine scales, and in combat she will attempt to shed a large quantity of scales to create a large cloud around her. Although poorly studied, the scales of Mothra have very strong reflective properties and are highly conductive. The reflective attributes of these scales are said to be powerful enough to reflect or nullify energy-based attacks such as fire or light, and when surrounded by a self-produced cloud Mothra is effectively protected by an airborne forcefield. Underneath the scales that cover her wings are specialized cells which produce beta-wave bioluminescence, and by shifting the orientation the wings, she can unleash this light in pulses to blind enemies. The ancient writings of the Cosmos called them the "light-bringers", as they are capable of mass ejecting a huge cloud of reflective scales amplify their bioluminescence, creating a searing luminescent explosion visible for miles and instantly incinerates anything within half a kilometer. Mothra is capable of building up static energy in her scales, and is able to release these, either through concentrated blasts from the eyespots on her wings, or as a beam from her eyes and antennae, using her scale cloud to redirect her attacks so they can never miss. This natural bioelectricity also bolsters her clawing and slashing attacks, as she can electrify her foes through physical contact.

The circular pattern on both sides of the front corners of Mothra's wings heavily resemble Godzilla's eyes, implying Mothra possesses a symbiotic, and perhaps deeper spiritual connection to the King of the Monsters that is probably more than mere symbiosis and beyond human comprehension. As there is a King, there will always be a Queen.

While the larvae feed on natural flora native to the Fairy Mountains, adults have fused mouthparts and do not appear to eat, instead being sustained exclusively through geothermal energy; Mothra spends most of her time in dormancy rejuvenating within the volcanic catacombs when not forced into combat, sometimes not moving for decades. According to the Cosmos people, when her mate was still alive, Mothra was more active, but after his death she is active much more rarely. The Gigamoth species seem to have an inherent instinct regarding disruption of the Earth's biosphere, and are known to travel across oceans and continents to restore the natural order of the planet, actively avoiding human settlements whenever possible. If the legends of the Cosmos hold true, it is likely that mankind would not have survived past the ice ages without the actions of this super-species.

Wingspan - 413 meters (1,356 feet long)

Weight:

Radon

45,000 tons

Rodan

50,000 tons

Threat Rating:

High

Species:

Giant predatory, biolithic pterosaurs of the Aquiladactylus genus whose ancestry dates back to the Jurassic Period, possessing strong affinity to volcanoes as the Earth experiences in a sharp, yet brief increase of radiation levels in the late Cretaceous. The female Radon's body structure resembled that of a Pteranodon, crest and all, but far larger and with new features more commonly seen in birds of prey like eagles and hawks such as grasping talons and feather-like molten scales on her wings. The male Rodan was larger than the female with two dragon-like horns that were twice as long as Radon's singular crest and scale-feathers being larger and glowing bright red-orange in contrast to Radon's red-pinkish glow.

Nature:

Bio-Incendiary

Behavior:

Territorial/Destroyer

The Rodans have an aggressive and fierce streak to them as they're very territorial not unlike eagles and hawks. The pterosaurs also have the intelligence equivalent to that of a crow or a raven, which makes them all the more trickier and unpredictable. In terms of diet, they have hunted Meganulon, humans, whales, sharks, and dolphins while supplementing their food with a good dose of radioactivity coming from a nuclear submarine's power reactor.

Unique Features and Abilities:

Bio-Volcanic Nature:

The Rodans possess an internal volcanic combustion system, causing them to radiate heat, the temperature of which can reach up to 1200C. This is what enables them to survive in molten-hot temperatures due to armored, rock-like, feather-shaped scales on their bodies and wings which contain traces of volcanic sediment.

Sonic Screech:

They have a well-developed syrinx coupled with an inflatable air sacs in their throat pouch that act as audio enhancers, enabling them to produce a powerful screech that can deafen an opponent in a range of 300 meters.

Cyclonic Drift Streams:

When flying at top speed, each individual's massive wings are powerful enough to create a supersonic thunderclap that can level entire cities as they fly overhead.

Uranium Heat Ray:

Each of the Rodans possess an Uranium-based oral attack reminiscent of Godzilla's atomic heat ray.

Expressive Crest/Horns:

All Rodans have the ability to shift the colors of their horns from subtle to dramatic, bright or dark colors in less than a second to express their emotions or enhance their threatening displays like chameleons or cuttlefish.

ANGUIRUS

Reported Sighting:

Tungusken Crater, Siberia, 1955

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Angirasaurus siberiensis

Monarch Classification:

Angira/Anguirus

Nickname(s):

Underground Ice Dragon

The Living Glacier

The Howling Bane of Siberia

One Who Brings about Blizzards

Spiky Ol' Armadillo

The Rolling Boulder of Pain

Size:

95 meters (312 feet tall) on all fours

120 meters (393 feet tall) semi-upright

Weight:

162,000 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderate

Species:

Newly discovered species of ankylosaurs whose ancestry is traced back to about early to middle Cretaceous with the genus diverging from the main ankylosaur evolutionary path and mutating into Titans by the brief uptick in radiation levels. The species went from herbivorous to omnivorous in their diets.

Nature:

Bio-Cryogenic/Bio-Terran

Behavior:

Destroyer

Behavior:

Because of his omnivorous habits, Anguirus was by no means a gentle giant. In fact, he was more of a battle-hardened gladiator as he was very territorial and has no hesitation in violently attacking anyone or anything that happened to get in his way like a rhinoceros on steroids. The quadrupedal dinosaur was also pugnacious and tenacious in his attitude with his "attack first, ask questions later" mentality, meaning that he would stubbornly fight to the very end until either he is killed or his enemy is dead.

Unique Features and Abilities:

Anguirus possesses the thickest armor ever recorded from a Titan as his scaly osteoderms are even strong enough to withstand Godzilla's Atomic Heat Ray.

Anguirus seems to have rock and other crystalline structures grafted onto his skin, making this Titan part mineral. The armored carapace on the Titan's back is embedded with slivers of pure diamond that lap over his back akin to a cape made of sharp, crystal spears. This also extends to the club on his tail. He has a mysterious internal polar system, which enables him to create an aura of voluminous clouds of absolute zero temperatures and summon torrential ice blizzards. If Rodan was a Titan forged in fire, then Anguirus is a Titan born of both Ice and Earth itself.

His oscillatory wave would not only render his victims deaf for a long while, but they could also freeze them in place as the cold eats away at their energy, affecting their metabolism adversely.

Anguirus' spikes and horns are sharp enough to pierce through Godzilla's tough crocodilian-like hide.

The Titan could roll into a ball not unlike an armadillo as he could gain speed with it and turn into a living spiked, rolling juggernaut.

QUETZALCOATL

Reported Sighting:

Machu Pichu, Peru, 1976

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Serpentodactylus quetzalcoatl

Monarch Classification:

Quetzalcoatl/Viricocha

Nickname(s):

Q, the Winged Serpent

Wings of the Sun

Rodan's South American Cousin

Southern Wind Dragon of the Sun

The One Whose Eyes the Sun Sees

Size:

290 feet tall (height)

900 feet long (wingspan)

Weight:

36,790 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderately low to High

Species:

A Titan superspecies evolved from a family of climbing and gliding maniraptorans called the Scansoriopterygidae. Rather than staying small as insectivorous predators, this particular genus instead evolved into larger, more wyvern-like and serpentine creatures capable of preying on dinosaurs over the passage of time to the point of their pinnacle in the late Cretaceous as they grew and mutated into predatory reptavian Titans capable of taking on other titanic monsters.

Quetzalcoatl's head is unique, the base structure is serpentine yet his maw ends as hooked beak like tips. Within his maw he possesses long fangs that he can retract into his gums at will. His neck has elongated ribs that he can extend the looser skin splaying open as a threat display similar to the hood of Elapid snakes. Quetzalcoatl's most famous feature is that he possesses four wings that when in flight resembles the letter 'X'. Two of his primary wings are large membranous similar to that of pterosaurs, making most of the work in powered flight. His secondary wings located below are smaller are finned members separated to induce or retard vortex formation. Almost the entirety of his body is covered in vibrantly colourful feathers in shades of red, black, green, gold bright violet. Quetzalcoatl possesses three clawed graspers on each his frontal wings that he can use to attack. Whereas the talons on his feet that are zygodactyl in nature usually to function as graspers. Lastly he possesses a tail that sprouts long, rooster-like tail feathers that he uses as a rudder for flight combat.

Nature:

Bio-thermal/bio-solar

Behavior:

Territorial

Unique Features and Abilities:

Intimidation Display:

Quetzalcoatl will raise his head with his neck fully erected so that he would splay outward his neck hood as an act of cobra-like intimidation. He would also spread out his wings and feathers, revealing glaring crimson 'eyespots' with smaller orange 'pupils' in the center of each eyespot to make himself not only appear larger than what he really is but also frighten the daylights out of his unsuspecting attackers as if the 'eyespots' bear the flames of the sun in them.

Aerial Dance:

In flight, he dances more like an eagle or a heron with his long legs and talons being his main weapons as he could swoop down to kick and claw his opponents. He is theorized to also perform dizzying aerobatic flips and spins, utilizing his tail and talons to inflict damage in quick succession. Despite his lean built and hollow bones, Quetzalcoatl's talons enable him to clamp onto and lift objects several times larger than he is and throw them quite the distance.

Ground Combat:

His performance in combat is the greatest when being airborne, though he is not to be underestimated when on foot. When grounded, he uses his clawed forewings to inflict deep gashes into the enemy's flesh, latch onto buildings, or pounce onto larger monsters for quick lightning bites to the face and/or neck thanks to his serpentine, flexible neck not unlike that of a snake. His specialized fangs are long and spear-like loaded with a combination of cytotoxic and hemotoxic venoms that attack the cells, immune system, and oxygenated red blood cells. When he bites, he is both gripping and envenomating his target at the same time, making any close combat situation with this prehistoric avian extremely dangerous when he would probably bite at any soft spot.

Flight:

Like his northern rival, Rodan, Quetzalcoatl is capable of long sustained, powered flight over great distances at tremendous speed. Adept and extremely agile, he could easily maneuver with tight turns, barrel rolls, and flips to avoid being hit by missiles or energy-based weaponry.

Cyclonic Rifts:

By flying in a rhythmic pattern during flight Quetzalcoatl can initiate to the creation of cyclonic rifts in the form of a tornado-shrouded charge. These vortexes are so powerful they are capable of shredding cities from the ground is even known to lift carry heavy Kaijū off from the floor. This vortex is even known to bestow its own gravitational anomaly where it can vacuum entities in but it can also be manipulated by Quetzalcoatl making him hover in the eye of the cyclone without tiring himself out.

Wind Breath:

Quetzalcoatl is capable of breathing a concussive stream of highly compressed air pressure from his maw. This wind breath is powerful enough to eradicate buildings can even knock Kaijū to the floor. Quetzalcoatl is also known to focus these breath attacks in the form an explosive ball of compressed air capable of destroying an entire street only to leave behind a large crater.

Hurricane Winds:

By beating his wings, Quetzalcoatl can generate powerful gusts of wind capable of sending heavy vehicles flying, level streets devastate portions of cities with relative ease.

Solar Powered Wings:

The black patch of feathers on his back and the eyespots on his wings are not merely just for show or to frighten his opponents. They serve another purpose as natural solar panels, absorbing electromagnetic energy and UV radiation directly from the sun, giving him consistent levels of strength and power over longer periods of time. That, along with his own internal volcanic combustion system, also grants him another ability to absorb so much electromagnetic radiation from the sun that the wing membranes literally glow bright orange from the veins with the light levels very intense on par with the sun, emphasizing the eyespots to an eerily beautiful degree that it creates an optical illusion of the sun actually having the soul-piercing eyes of a god.

Silicon Scales:

A specialized type of reptilian, keeled scales made out of silicon that enable him to resist extremely hot temperatures for a very long period of time.

Size:

220 feet tall (when on all fours or knucklewalking position)

270 feet tall (when fully upright)

Weight:

50,000 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderate

Species:

Large, rare ape-like Titans from Skull Island that possess common physical and genetical characteristics of gorillas. However, they also share some similar traits found in chimpanzees suggesting convergent evolution in response to the harsh hyperfaunal environment of Skull Island and that there was another earlier split off from the ancestral line of ape-like hominoids that would become the gorillas of Africa. An unknown offshoot that began around roughly 7.3 million years ago when these basal African hominoids traveled through Asia and somehow landed on Skull Island around 6.8 millions of years ago. They were probably not native to the island at first, but then later evolved into an indigenous Titan superspecies after exposure to geothermal radioactivity from the island's volcanoes. Megaprimatus greatly resemble that of gorillas with traits such as high-crested, rounded heads with strong, powerful jaws powered by strong muscles anchored from their sagittal crests to their mandibles, arms longer and more muscled and heavily built compared to their hindlimbs, barrel wide chests, stocky, big bodies with huge muscles, large patch of efficient solar-powered hairs containing algae-derived chlorophyll that draw extra energy from the sun and are arranged across their backs in a pattern vaguely resembling a silver skull. They have a few key differences setting them apart from gorillas in that they don't have a herbivorous beer belly, but rather chiseled, muscled abdominal torsos. Their diet is more akin to that of chimpanzees being omnivorous or leaning more towards carnivory and the key bones in the hip and lower spine support a bipedal, human-like stance for a longer time than gorillas.

Nature:

Bio-Electrical

Behavior:

Protector/Territorial

Unique Features and Abilities:

Superhuman Strength:

As expected for the King of a land like Skull Island, Kong is a powerhouse. He is incredibly strong, even for his size, and has been observed lifting, throwing objects and other kaiju twice his mass. His thick hide, covered in a layer of matted, bristle-like fur, is surprisingly durable, as he is more than capable of smashing solid stone with his fists. The bite-force of his jaws are also extremely strong, and is accentuated by sharp canine teeth.

Primate Agility:

Kong is quite nimble in spite of his large muscle mass. Combined with his incredible dexterity, which is characterized by his hands and feet both having opposable digits, he is able to traverse through the treacherous labyrinth-like canopies of Skull Island's Super Jungles, clamber onto cliff walls, and climb onto mountains with great ease.

Intelligence:

Kong, like all great apes, is a highly intelligent creature capable of strategizing two steps ahead of his enemies. This same trait is what enables him the important advantage of primitive weapon usage, or to put it simply, being able to grab whatever object that could be used as a weapon. He is also able to learn and quickly adapt to changes in the environment by implementing improvised, advanced fighting tactics to turn the tide of battle to his favor.

Electrical Mana:

Megaprimatus are god-like apes evolved to harness a power unlike any other and that no other Titan so far is capable of doing. Kong is able to draw upon the bio-electrical forces generated by the almost mythical life-energy cycle unique to Skull Island's Titan fauna ecosystem. He gathers and channels this powerful energy through his body for a wide range of uses from simply producing a defensive aura to executing a Thunder Clap where he slammed his palms to create electrical shockwaves that short-circuited highly advanced tech even with the most sophisticated electrical surge protectors and electrocuted his monstrous foes in front of him. His last resort was Mana Burst, an extremely powerful all-encompassing attack that could be felt for miles, but it is taxing on Kong with nearly all of his energy reserves depleted. The true limits of this power has yet to be determined.

GOROSAURUS

Reported Sighting:

Skull Island, 1972

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Gorosaurus dynastes

Monarch Classification:

Gorosaurus

Nickname(s):

God of Predation

Apex Dinosaur

The Second King of Skull Island

Alpha Monarch of the Dinosaurs

Warrior King of the Reptiles

Size:

350 feet tall

824 feet long

Weight:

48,000 tons

Threat Rating:

High

Species:

Gorosaurus is classified as the Titan superspecies of highly-derived dinosaurian theropods from the Megaraptoran clade, which are a family of coelurosaurian, basal tyrannosauroids with members such as Megaraptor, Siamotyrannus, Siats, Fukuiraptor, Bahariasaurus, and Australovenator. He generally has royal blue scales and a blue coat of feather-like filaments across his neck, back, and base of his tail. More complex, albeit short feathers on his forelimbs. He has an enormous boxy head with a somewhat triangular snout lined with dark cobalt bony ridges. He has triangular lacrimal horns placed over his olive-yellow eyes. He has a singular row of yellow spines running from the base of his head to the tail. A red throat and a brownish yellow underside.

Gorosaurus dynastes is the alpha species and the pinnacle of such a group. A deadly and highly evolved predator suited for taking on the most dangerous of dinosaurian Titans just like their ancestral species that were also top predators of their respective ecosystems. Gorosaurus' primary weapon are his jaws, filled with diamond-hard teeth capable of dispatching smaller kaiju with a single powerful bite. He will also use his head, in conjunction with immensely strong neck muscles and body mass, as a battering ram to knock opponents off balance.

Larger prey can also be grappled and pinned down with the large talons of his hind legs.

And though relatively small, his forelimbs bear hook-like claws, including larger sickle-clawed thumbs, to further stabilize himself upon large prey. His tail also tappers to a scythe-like blade tip containing metallic elements, which can be wielded with all the devastating precision and force of an oversized katana sword. During battles with larger kaiju, a favored tactic is to rear up on his tail to deliver a bone-shattering kick with his razor-clawed legs.

In spite of his mass, Gorosaurus is also very fast and agile. He has been occasionally observed running in excess of 100 miles per hour out in the open, and leaping over gorges and valleys wider his own body length with a running start. His senses, including vision, smell, and hearing, are all highly acute, but especially with heat vision thanks to his forked tongue and Jacobson's organ located between the nasal chambers, allowing him to detect the targets' thermal signatures, tracking them down long before they are aware of him. His stealth is aided by densely padded feet that cushion his softer footfalls. Each feather across his dorsal surface branches into a highly developed fractal pattern that reflectes different colors depending on their orientation. This allows him to shift colors from a base setting of blue-grey to a range of browns, greens, and blacks. Combined with similar color-changing skin, Gorosaurus is as stealthy as he is powerful.

Nature:

Unique Features and Abilities:

Bone Crushing Jaws:

His mouth is filled with diamond-hard teeth capable of dispatching smaller Titans with a single powerful bite. He will also use his head, in conjunction with immensely strong neck muscles and body mass, as a battering ram to knock opponents off balance.

Dinosaurian-Avian Agility and Stamina:

Gorosaurus' bird-like air sacs and hollow bones allow him to be very fast and agile. He has been occasionally observed running in excess of 100 miles per hour out in the open, and leaping over gorges and valleys wider his own body length with a running start. He could also pounce and grapple onto larger Titans with his clawed forearms that has a large sickle-shaped claw on each thumb to further stabilize himself upon large prey.

Kangaroo Kick:

His tail also tappers to a scythe-like blade tip containing metallic elements, which can be wielded with all the devastating precision and force of an oversized katana sword. During battles with larger kaiju, a favored tactic is to rear up on his strong tail to deliver a bone-shattering kick with his razor-clawed legs.

Thermal Vision:

Gorosaurus possess a forked tongue and a Jacobson's organ that enables him to detect the thermal signatures of his prey from afar and track them down even in the most closed of environments.

Weight:

27,570 tons

Threat Rating:

High to Extremely High

Species:

A highly-derived group of diapsids related to mosasaurs that instead took on a more subterranean lifestyle that over time lost the usefulness for hindlimbs to the point they completely disappeared within millions of years. The Skullcrawlers are large reptilian creatures with only two long forelimbs and no hindlimbs, as well as long, prehensile, serpentine tails. They have long and slender, yet muscular, sturdy bodies. Several aspects of their appearance are noticeably skeletal, particularly their torsos and their heads. What appear to be the "eye sockets" of their skull-like heads are merely empty fenestrae presumably it evolved that way in order to protect its eyes from enemies: their real eyes are set much further back, with the fenestrae perhaps serving to distract enemies from their more vulnerable eyes and acting as heat-seeking sensory pits. The pupils of their green eyes are horizontal and somewhat resemble those of goats and sheep. The colors of their scales range from dark brown to dark green to a bone white color.

Their heads closely resemble those of Mosasaurs such as Tylosaurus, and their jaws possess two rows of serrated, razor-sharp teeth. The Skullcrawlers have four clawed digits in total of each hand, with the thumb being the smallest digit and the rest of the digits being larger and of the same size, and the adults have a prominent bony spike protrudes out of each of their elbows. The thorny, toothlike structures of their inner mouths somewhat resemble that of a leatherback turtle's. Additionally, they have long, prehensile triple-forked tongues that they can use to grab their prey.

Smaller Skullcrawlers are easily distinguishable from the larger ones. Their heads are smaller, and more sloped. They also possess a more prominently brown skin tone. Larger Skullcrawlers are larger and almost as big as Kong. Their heads are more defined, larger, angled with beak-like tips at the end of their snouts, and having a crowned crest of three horns. Their backs become more arched with spiky, skeletal protrusions. Their tails are also armed by a form of club that can be used as a weapon and also have bone spikes protruding from their elbows. Larger variant exudes extreme heat from within his body, possibly a volcanic environment adaptation.

Classified as "hypervores" by MONARCH scientists, these animals have a constantly active metabolism, meaning they are driven to consume endlessly. Humans, animals, even other Skullcrawlers are on the menu if they become hungry enough.

Nature:

Hypervorous/Heat Resistant

Behavior:

Predator

Unique Features and Abilities:

Hypervorous Hunger:

Thanks to their faulty digestive system that puts them in a perpetual state of starvation, they can actually hold very little at a time. This is what constantly drives them to hunt and consume anything in their path to satiate their extreme bloodlust to the point of insanity. Their spoils were gathered in collective Boneyards, where they'd come to wastefully regurgitate what they can't eat before either attempting to eat it again, or heading off to bring down more prey.

Elastic Serpentine Body:

Adapted to life deep within Skull Island's often volcanic and flooded caverns, Golgothusaurs' serpentine bodies are agile and highly elastic, enabling them to hide out in narrower crevices than one would expect, and making them very maneuverable in combat. They are excellent swimmers as well, being able to absorb radiation directly. Their spinal cords taper into long, constrictive tails, enabling them to strangle their victims, or in some situations lift them even when their prey is twice heavier than them.

Armored Skulls and Tri-Forked Tongues:

Their skeletal heads are composed of densified calcium reinforced by stringy, muscular fibers, which enables these creatures to ram into their victims. What appear to be the "eye sockets" of their skull-like heads are merely empty fenestrae presumably it evolved that way in order to protect its eyes from enemies: their real eyes are set much further back, with the fenestrae perhaps serving to distract enemies from their more vulnerable eyes and acting as heat-seeking sensory pits. Their tri-forked tongues are acutely sensitive to thermal patterns thanks to the said sensory pits along the mouth and nasal regions that allow them to track down endothermic and radioactive prey. Their tongues also shoot out from their mouths within a nanosecond and are prehensile to wrap around small animals.

Heat Disposition:

The larger variants are more able to dispel excess, extreme heat from their bodies through dorsal vents and pores from their skeletal backs.

Ancient Pebbled Dinosaur

Dino (From the Flintstones)

Size:

3,250 feet long (length)

900 feet tall (height)

Weight:

308,336 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderately low

Species:

First thought to be belonging to a group of Cretaceous sauropods called the titanosaurs, but later DNA analysis and comparisons with well-known sauropod fossils revealed this Titan to be belonging to the diplodocids, another group of sauropods that reached the heyday of their evolutionary success in the late Jurassic Period, characterized by their elephantine bodies supporting horizontally, extremely long necks and whip-like tails that sport a singular row of dorsal spines. Mokele-Mbembe is no exception to that rule with a singular row of iguana-like dorsal spines running from the base of his neck to the end of his tail. His elephantine body is covered in a tough hide and a subdermal layer of biolithic pebbly scutes similar to that of Saltasaurus and each scute is composed of calcium, diamonds, salts and minerals of the jungle soil. The more porous upper skin becomes home to many plants, even a few trees, over their long lives. His gigantic heart pumps out both blood and chlorophyll, which fuel both this herbivorous Titan and the jungle ecosystem that has grown on his armored back for centuries, which is fueled in further growth by the plentiful rays of sunlight shining through an enormous hole in the topside of the Blue Mountains.

His head is a long, lizard-like head with curved, inward-facing tusks and the so-called "crocodilian teeth" when actually upon closer examination, they are actually herbivorous in nature, long and slender, and elliptical in cross-section, while the apex forms a blunt, triangular point. Features consistent with the usual dentition seen from his diplodocid ancestors. The African natives probably mistook them for crocodile teeth from afar as they'd be too afraid to go anywhere near the creature. However, the natives were correct that Mokele Mbembe has the curved horn on his forehead, which glows green from time to time. The exact purpose of the horn is under debate with more simple explanation being that it is likely a visual means of communication among the species. Also, thankfully, the Titan wouldn't need to eat much thanks to his self-sustaining unique physiology of both animal and plant tissue within this florafaunal Titan. Though supposedly gentle, it doesn't erase the fact that should this Titan ever be aroused from his slumber, his sheer size alone would be catastrophic as his massive elephantine legs would create earthquakes with just a single stomp of each of his foot.

Nature:

Herbivorous/Bio-Terran

Behavior:

Gentle giant/protector

Unique Features and Abilities:

Pebbled Biolithic Scutes:

The osteoderms on the Titan's neck and back act as chainmail armor that grants him protection from direct attack. They also serve another function in being the fertile bedrock for an entire jungle to grow on his back with his body literally becoming an ecosystem of its own with thousands of smaller creatures living in this biolithic jungle while feeding on the skin parasites living beneath the Titan's skin folds and pockets.

Long Sharp Tail:

Mokele's whip-like tail could be whipped at almost supersonic speeds to create destructive sonic waves as well as a ear-deafening crack that could cause smaller organisms to fall unconscious, or suffer from a brain hemorrhage and Titans to be disoriented, or wounded by the tip when they get within striking distance.

Earth-Quaking Legs:

His feet are so mountainous with each footfall producing more than enough seismic force to shatter the foundations of the earth to split it and cause earthquakes. They are so dense and massive that not even Godzilla could hope to survive should Mokele Mbembe become his enemy and bear the majority of his body weight onto him through his forelimbs.

Biolithic Chlorophyll Self-production System:

A type of bodily system very unique to Mokele Mbembe and much different compared to even the likes of Godzilla, King Kong, Rodan, etc. His gigantic heart pumps out both blood and chlorophyll, which fuel both this herbivorous Titan and the jungle ecosystem that has grown on his armored back for centuries, which is fueled in further growth by the plentiful rays of sunlight shining through an enormous hole in the topside of the Blue Mountains. This is what keeps his bodily energy levels more consistent without the need to feed much, which would have devastated the entire Congo of the outside world if otherwise.

VARAN

Reported Sighting:

Kitakami River, Japan, 1958

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Varanoaves baradagi

Monarch Classification:

Varan/Baradagi

Nickname(s):

The Unbelievable Titan

The Triphibian

Size:

154 feet tall

915 feet long

Weight:

16,200 tons

Threat Rate:

High

Species:

Highly derived Titan superspecies of an ancient Triassic archosauromorph, Longisquama, that have evolved into a weird genus of gigantic reptavian predators that are not only at home on both land and air but also in water. While these creatures sport generally conservative, varanid-like bodies that are extremely adaptable to any environment, they sport other features parallel to more advanced archosaurian lineages that make them rather outlandish at times despite each serving a function that contributes to the species' nature as legitimate 'triphibians'.

Their large patagia on either side of their bodies, supported by flexible, rib-like tendons and powerful back muscles, which gives them the impression of an overall hunchbacked posture when the creatures stand up. Using them, they are able to fly over long distances when launched from a high place, though they can also take off for low flights from running starts on the ground. Their powerful back muscles enable the patagia membrane some limited flapping movement. Because of the overall rib structure of the patagia, this determines the movement of the Varanoaves to a certain degree that makes them less agile, but more maneuverable in the air compared to the Aquiladactylus and the Serpentodactylus.

Though their bodies are lightly built and their partially cartilaginous skeletal structure honeycombed for flight, but the bones are supported and structured with struts that can withstand longitudinal pressure and add more strength to the animal. This makes it all the more important why this species shouldn't be underestimated in aerial combat, especially when wind currents are so strong that enable them to hover and wield their long, pointy whip-like tails armed with serrated scales with great accuracy. More importantly, they are ferocious, swift fighters that employ their deadly serrated teeth, beaked ends of their jaws, and their claws. Their feet have a pair of retractable, sickle-shaped claws that act as hooks to grapple and hold onto surfaces or larger prey.

The Varanoaves' head is definitely both lizard-like and bird-like at the same time as the overall head and jaws having this notched, curved beak armed with sharp serrated teeth for extra damage. The head is adorned with horned, huge orangish-violet neck frill behind the ears that actually serve two functions when flared outward: one, to intimidate and actually amplify his roar; two, they are identifying facial features among individuals as no frill will be the same for each creature.

Varan has two fan-like crests of modified lengthy scales resembling feathers like its Triassic ancestor. One on its neck, and the other on its back, which are larger than the former. Both of them are bright golden with vibrant purple striations. The bony tubercular scales on the face and limbs are mute orange with brownish tint while the modified placoid-like scales that grow into feather-like protrusions on the neck and back closer to the dorsal crests, and the tail tend to be reddish-orange to yellow. The forelimbs and claws are armed with spike-like spurs filled with venom.

The tail has a row of spikes and flattened wing-like flaps of skin on each side supported by rib-like structures that support the creature either when in flight or swimming in the water as they and the patagium, wing-like membranes function like waterproof fins. In addition, Varan could also fold both of his fan-like crests of waterproof display scales down closer to his body to make himself more aquatically streamlined in the water.

Nature:

Triphibian

Behavior:

Destroyer

Unique Abilities:

Waterproof Aerodynamic Scales:

Modified placoid scales reduce the underwater drag and turbulence when flattened by the forward movement of water and thus effectively making "The Unbelievable" hydrodynamically-designed.

Wing-like Patagia Membranes:

Their large patagia on either side of their bodies, supported by flexible, rib-like tendons and powerful back muscles, which gives them the impression of an overall hunchbacked posture when the creatures stand up. Using them, they are able to fly over long distances when launched from a high place, though they can also take off for low flights from running starts on the ground. Their powerful back muscles enable the patagia membrane some limited flapping movement. Because of the overall rib structure of the patagia, this determines the movement of the Varanoavis to a certain degree that makes them less agile, but more maneuverable in the air compared to the Aquiladactylus and the Serpentodactylus.

Durable Chainmail-like Scales:

In a similar vein to the great majority of daikaiju encountered by humanity, Varan possesses an uncanny ability to repulse many forms of manmade weaponry and shrug off many blows inflicted upon him by daikaiju adversaries. This durability is bestowed to him by a legion of fish-like scales covering much of his upper body, composed of heavily-reinforced layers of keratin and traces of metallic elements, forming a sturdy yet flexible biological chainmail that is possibly stronger than some of the toughest metals known to mankind. As a result, bullets and anti-tank missiles can often harmlessly ricochet off the surface of these scales and some physical blows delivered to him by rival daikaiju are seemingly ineffective against Varan. Nevertheless, Varan's physical durability is not quite as significant as that exhibited by either Godzilla or Anguirus, as his scales still have the potential to be penetrated given a substantial amount of force.

Ultrasonic Banshee Roars:

Similarly to Anguirus, Varan is not in possession of any form of natural projectile weaponry at his disposal. However, he does have a single form of ranged attack: he can emit potent "ultrasonic roars" below the limits of human hearing that can temporarily stun rival Titans and briefly leave them in a more vulnerable state. Varan's "ultrasonic roars" have been enhanced by his neck frill that act as audio boom speakers of a sort. They are measured at approximately 150.2 decibels - powerful enough to shatter windows, cause eardrums of many vertebrates to burst, and render the internal organs of humans to rupture if within close range, making these acoustic attacks very deadly if one is to be standing very close to him. It is generally believed among bioacoustic specialists at MONARCH that Varan's "ultrasonic roars" are utilized as a form of echolocation, usually used to aid the gigantic glider in navigating and locating potential prey (often in murky or rather dark conditions), but this same ultrasound can also be used in intraspecific communication with other members of his species and can even be weaponized in order to stun selected prey items at close range or even temporarily stupefy any perceived opponents. It has even been recently discovered that "The Unbelievable" is able to control the frequencies at which he produces his "ultrasonic roars"; lower frequencies of ultrasound are used to simply navigate around or locate objects in conditions where visibility is extremely-limited and much higher frequencies of ultrasound are weaponized to great effect. However, Varan usually prefers to save these hazardous emissions of ultrasound as a last resort when regular melee tactics aren't enough to overwhelm his foes - possibly due to the tremendous strain it puts on his larynx and vocal cords.

Venomous Spurs:

Special neurotoxin glands in Varan's armpits give the spurs the strong venom needed for him to subdue his enemies.

90 meters tall (295 feet tall)

Weight:

30,788 tons

Threat Rate:

Species:

Phylogenetic analysis suggests the Mandas originated as transitional forms between lizards and snakes, leading some to refer to them as the Mother and Father of Serpents. Their heads are adorned with four horns, a crown of pointed spikes and green fin-like gills behind their ears. Their long, flexible serpentine bodies are extremely agile, especially in water, where they move in an undulating fashion that makes it difficult to predict their next motions. The female has bluish-emerald overlapping scales with darker green dorsal, limb, and tail fins while the male has metallic cobalt blue scales with yellow lateral stripes and violet dorsal, limb, and tail fins. Both sexes have webbing between their clawed digits. They have forked snake-like tongues to help pick up scent particles in the water currents.

Nature:

Bio-Hydroelectric

Behavior:

Territorial/Protector

Unique Abilities:

Constriction:

Out of water, they are able to strike at targets at high velocity and precision. They possess no venom, but prefer to entangle and constrict their prey and/or enemies. They can squeeze with enough force to completely crush all but the most resistance of hulls and infrastructure. Their limbs, though small, are powerful and strong in anchoring them to prey or steering through water.

Lightning-Quick Sensory Reflexes:

The Mandas are not the most heavily armored of kaiju, but rely more on their reflexes to outmaneuver opponents. They track the motions of prey with a highly developed lateral line system, as well as through rows of small photoreceptors along their backs. Sensory input is processed by a heavy metal-infused nervous system, which is also the source of their finest ability.

Bio-Hydroelectric Manipulation:

Like many types of fish, such as electric eels, both Mandas possess battery-like nodes along their bodies which can generate enormous electrical power. They most often use this power to send bolts of directed lightening from their maws, though they can at times produce a full-body shock powerful enough to stun most medium-sized kaiju. Their control over electrical energy is so precise that it often manifests as hydrokinetic phenomena. The Mandas use this manipulation to slide more easily and quickly through the water, and at times to enhance their strikes or produce a hydraulic "force field" to buffer attacks. Sometimes they are even able to generate tsunamis and whirlpools when working together.

BARAGON

Reported Sighting:

Scientific Classification:

Ceratognathus fossorous

Monarch Classification:

Baragon

Nickname(s):

The Fierce King of the Underground

Size:

40 meters tall (131 feet tall)

122 meters long (400 feet long)

Weight:

25,880 tons

Threat Rate:

Moderate

Species:

A biolithic Titan superspecies of synapsids, or proto-mammals, descended from Gorgonopsid-type therapsids due to his bizarre combination of characteristics of both reptiles and mammals. Among the reptilian features of his body are his hairless scaly hide and sprawling quadrupedal gait, while his mammalian characteristics consist of a short muzzle possessing prominent fangs, enormous external ears and possibly a high metabolism. The Titan's epidermis appears to be mostly a deep bloody red in color, with gnarly shards of volcanic and metamorphic rock covering much of his body (thus serving as a form of geological armor plating), culminating in prominent ridges of lithic armor that run the length of the creature's back. They are actually series of interlocking scales which may be derived from hair-like structures, similar to a pangolin, which allow for a greater degree of flexibility. They are also easily shed and replaced by new growths.

Nature:

Biolithic

Behavior:

Guardian

Unique Abilities:

Baragon makes his way through solid stone and bedrock with the aid of his immensely powerful foreclaws and horn-like protrusion on his head. These are also wielded as effective weapons during fights with other kaiju, especially while charging. One of his only softer parts, his ears, seem to play a role in thermoregulation, and are normally folded tightly upon his face beneath his horn for protection. This does not impair his senses, as his eyesight is poor. Instead, he relies on heat-sensing pits along his snout as well as a form of echolocation generated from the horn, which may be akin to a cetacean's melon. By sending infrasonic pulses through the ground, as well as passively detecting vibrations, Baragon is able to pinpoint targets and locations from many kilometers away.

Baragon is also able to generate large amounts of heat when agitated, and can transfer this heat across his body. This can manifest as a full-body aura of intense heat, which can be used to shake off and immolate smaller opponents and can be maintained for several minutes. A more precise variant of this ability channels the heat specifically into his claws and horn to inflict more damage to larger enemies. He also generates lava-like bile within his body, which burns with napalm-like intensity when vomited forth.

Weight:

Species:

Giant florafauna superspecies of prehistoric praying mantis. The Skull Island species has a forest-green exoskeletal carapace with three rows of dark green spines on its thorax. The raptorial foreleg appendages have blood red, razor-sharp teeth-like tubercles. The wings on this species are yellow with splotches of orange broken up by black outlines. Like all mantis species, Kamacuras are sexually dimorphic with the females being larger than the males and are more aggressive, especially during mating when, more often than not, they cannibalize their male partners. The Vietnamese subspecies of the mantid Titans have similarities, but also key differences such as being larger than the Skull Island gimantids and more colorful sexual dimorphism with the smaller males being brighter orangish-yellow and more spectacularly crimson-pink patterned wings resembling flower petals when they elaborate dancing rituals to impress the larger and drabber females that are pale brownish-green with tint of yellow.

Nature:

Florafauna/Bio-Terran

Behavior:

Predator

Unique Abilities Features:

Hydraulic Muscular System:

The muscles within the exoskeleton are built and they function like hydraulic cylinders that enable them to power the creature's strikes to such a terrifying degree at lightning-fast speeds, giving them the quickest reflexes of any Titan.

Malleable Honeycombed Structure:

Despite being lightly built, the honeycombed structure of her exoskeleton makes it more resistant to damaged than would first be assumed. This honeycomb design also gives the carapace some degree of malleability in places, making it more flexible as well as allowing her to change the texture of its armor, from smooth, veined and leaf-like, to rough and bark-like, and sometimes even sprouting thorns and spines.

Wings:

The vividly-patterned wings, usually folded tight beneath an armored carapace, make for intimidating threat displays and can also generate powered thrusts for flights at Mach 3.

Superb Camouflage:

Kamacuras' greatest asset is camouflage. Her exoskeleton is coated with a thin, cuticle-like layer of what seems to be some form of organic crystalline substance. This material is still under investigation due to its' impressive effects. In addition to providing an extra layer of buffer-armor, it seems to work in conjunction with her body's electromagnetic impulses, making it capable of reflecting, redirecting, and projecting light across the visual, infrared, and radio spectrums. This, combined with her texture-changing carapace, makes her practically invisible to all by high ultraviolet and x-ray scans.

Visual Photoreception Acuity:

Kamacuras is a primarily visual hunter, and is in possession of some of the most highly-developed photoreceptors of any recorded lifeform. Her vision ranges the entire ultraviolet, visual, and infrared spectrums, and even seem to detect patterns of energy and motion outside the realm of "vision". Her antennae can also detect the slightest shifts in air pressure and scent.

Parthenogenesis Cloning:

Apart from natural reproduction, each individual gimantid also carries a neurologically-linked clone within the foremost cavity of its slender, tail-like abdomens. This clone itself also carries a copy, and so forth, sometimes down to the size of a normal mantid. Should the primary body become damaged beyond repair, the clone will escape to continue the individual's lineage. It is estimated that only complete destruction of the abdominal cavity would be enough to end a gimantid.

Species:

An ancient species of eusocial insectoid Titans, belonging to the order Hymenoptera. These prehistoric ant-type Titans were roused from their suspended animation by the Manhattan Project and the meltdown of a recently established nuclear power plant 155 miles west from Bernalillo.

Nature:

Bio-Terran

Behavior:

Hive Mind/Destroyer

Behavioral Traits:

While their modus operandi is typical of most ant species, being of a hive mind and having a strict eusocial hierarchy, their intelligence is atypical even of their very minute relatives as it is extremely high comparable to dolphins. Not only were the larger and higher-ranking brethren aware of their surroundings and their enemies, but they could sense what their opposition is up to and could plan pre-emptive strikes against them before the enemies even had started. The scout does most of the reconnaissance while the workers raid and collect materials back to the nest colony on chemically predetermined paths. Soldier ants would be the grunts that carry more of the offensive power than the average Ancestor Ant worker. Warrior ants would be the elite; stronger, more heavily armored, and more aggressive than the soldiers as they're basically the attack dogs. Leading them all would be the Generals as they're the ones directing the horde while taking orders from the King, or the Commander-in-Chief, who in turn, ultimately takes orders from the Queen, the mother of the entire hive colony as well as responsible for its existence via reproductive means. Backed up by their tougher-than-normal exoskeletal bodies packed with shocking amounts of strength, the Ancestor Ants are a force to be reckoned, both individually and collectively as a colony.

Unique Features and Abilities:

Chemical Trail Navigation:

Once a Scout ant leaves pheromones behind wherever it goes, they become signals enabling the ants to map out the distance and features of the environment.

Telepathic Hive Mind:

Connected together mentally allows the ants to communicate through their antennae whatever they pick up visually or scent wise far and wide to other hive members. This ability is what enables the higher-ranking individuals to communicate orders directly to their smaller, lower-ranking brethren and coordinate their collective movements very precisely. They could also sense the presence of threats from afar, allowing them premeditate on a suitable plan of action to deal with them accordingly.

Radioactive Formic Acid Bite:

All ants possess this lethally toxic bite with the formic acid mutated long ago by radioactivity to turn it into a more formidable substance that can eat through metal. The victims suffer from being poisoned by radioactive toxins that could cause accelerated forms of cancer, cause paralysis, and degrade their internal organs into mush rapidly. Larger victims like Titans with softer skin would be knocked out with their hyperactive immune systems spending days to combat the degradation.

Snap Jaws:

The Ancestor Ants are equipped with long, sword-like serrated mandibles that could snap shut extremely quick, delivering sharp painful bites that could crush bones. They could reach speeds up to 390 km/h with the jaws closing at an average speed of 90 microseconds. Energy is stored in a thick band of muscle and explosively released when triggered by the stimulation of sensory organs resembling hairs on the inside of the mandibles. The mandibles also permit slow and fine movements for other tasks.

Swarming Overheat:

When confronted by a larger opponent, the ants would swarm all over the enemy's body at once and use the combined heat of their bodies as a collective to skyrocket the enemy's body temperature up to precarious levels that the enemy would die or lose consciousness from over-exhaustion, heat stroke, or multitude of toxic bites. Perhaps a combination of them all.

Winged Forms:

All males and some females have wings that enable them to travel long distances. The soldier drones have wings covered by bony plates to protect them during combat. Warriors would have spiked, bulkier armor plates covering their wings despite spending most of their time being terrestrial brutes locomotion-wise, while the more agile and smarter Generals possess another pair of wings. The King Ancestor Ant possesses two pairs of much bigger armored wings that have bladed edges on the armor plates that would enable him to cut through airborne enemies like a hot knife through butter.

King and Generals Within the Eusocial Hierarchy:

An unusual aspect of the Ancestor Ant's eusocial hierarchy is the inclusion of a King and Generals. A King that could more or less stand on somewhat equal grounds with the Queen even though she still has the ultimate authority in the relationship. This is found nowhere else in the Hymenoptera species, which leads a lot of myrmecologists and evolutionary biologists to wonder if this was a primitive trait, a leftover vestigial feature from their more ancestral species, or rather a new evolutionary adaptation in response to more dangerous predatory Titans preying on them. Regardless, it is interesting to note that the King and his Generals would often direct and coordinate the swarms into battle against their enemies. The Generals would be distinguished by a protruding spine curved inwards placed on their thorax between their wings. They are often found on the battlefield battling alongside their smaller brethren. If the threat is too big or strong for even the Generals, then the King would likely get involved and he is a very strong and cunning adversary only second to the larger and more robust Queen. He is distinguished having an armored head armed with a crown comprised of two horns placed behind his antennae, possessing longer mandibles half the length of his entire body, and heavily armored forelimbs armed with thick pincer claws. The King also possess additional powers that none of the smaller brethren, including the Generals, have such as spitting formic acid, a wasp-like tail stinger, and wings generating shimmering sonic waves around his armor blades that enable him to cut cleanly through the densest and thickest metals.

The Queen is a wingless, hulking behemoth with a spiny neck and shell with her armored abdomen swollen and engorged with thousands of trucks-sized eggs. She is supported by two pairs of massive, long armored limbs. She is not to be underestimated as a pushover as her pair of forelimbs evolved into muscular arm-like appendages ending with slender exoskeletal hands with each of her four digits armed with steel-like claws that function like the King's wing blades. Her abdomen should not be brushed off either as it extends into a thick reptilian tail-like appendage ending with a spiked club. Her head was the most disturbing as she has two pairs of composite eyes and three pairs of flexible, serrated curved mandibles that could close together both horizontally and vertically to form a beaked jaw concealing her real fused mouthparts, giving her a dinosaurian-like appearance to her. She'd use mostly brute strength to win her battles, but she'd be foolish not to take advantage of her telepathic powers to command her entire hive from time to time to turn the tide of battle to her favor. She spits out a continuous stream of weaponized formic acid for long range combat.

GILA

Reported Sighting:

New Mexico, USA, 1958

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Gilasaurus horridus

Monarch Classification:

Gila/Gilasaurus

Nickname(s):

The Demon of Gila River

Nuclear Gila Monster

Mutant Yellowbelly

Scaly Roughneck

Size:

220 feet long (quadrupedal)

300 feet tall (rearing up on hind legs)

Weight:

75,000 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderately High

Species:

Ancient species of helodermatid lizards with orange rusted red scales and wavy striations of dark brown that quickly grew and mutated into Titans in an arms race with the Ancestor Ants during the middle to late Cretaceous. The head, unlike the Gila Monster and the Mexican Bearded Lizard's blunt heads, resembled more of Saurosuchus with jaws and teeth specifically designed to slice and puncture through thick armor. These lizard Titans evolved to have stronger osteoderm plates on its head and arms. Thicker pebbly scales that some grew into legitimate bony spikes, particularly on his back down to the base of his tail. The most significant are the extensive belly and chest scales that have been hyperdeveloped into steel-like, segmented plates with minerals of jasper and molten gold embedded in it. The fat, stocky long tail has armored, segmented plates with five spikes on each of them partially made out of jasper as such when they could glow lava orange when the monster charges up with radioactive napalm energy.

Nature:

Bio-Atomic/Subterranean/Volcanic

Behavior:

Territorial

Unique Features and Abilities:

Internal Volcanic Combustion System

Hyper-Evolved Underside Armor:

The underside scales covering his chest and belly had hardened into steel-like, mineralized armored plates to the point that no amount of blunt or cutting force could penetrate them. Combined with already sharp spikes and considerably tough, segmented scutes covering his back and tail, it makes him very difficult to kill or incapacitate.

Fat Tail:

Like the minute cousin it bears resemblance to, the lizard Titan possesses a long stocky, fatty tail covered in segmented bony scutes and spikes that stores excessive radioactive energy for the leaner times. It also acts as a fifth limb for support when the creature stands upright and it could be used as bludgeoning weapon as it bears similar to that of a European mace. The spikes and the gaps between the armor plates glow red-orange when Gila charges his Nuclear Napalm Heat Ray.

Nuclear Napalm Heat Ray:

A signature energy-based, long range weapon of Gila. When the lizard Titan puffs up his flexible armored chest, spines, gaps, and cracks on his body and segmented armored plates glow red-orange. When he is done charging, he spits out a continuous stream of gelling agent mixed with hydrogen peroxide from his jaws while his mouth's venom glands secrete hydroquinone to create the combustible chain reaction in form of a continuous stream of burning napalm. Unlike Godzilla's azure Atomic Heat Ray, the napalm sticks onto his opponents for quite a while causing severe burn damage that could eat through skin and scar muscle tissue with third-degree burns. It is what Gila uses to also compliment his burrowing into the earth. This is the first time that an extremely large-bodied organism was documented of naturally producing the chemicals needed to create napalm within his body.

Bone-crushing Teeth Jaws

Pyro-Venomous Bite:

A modified version of venom excreted from his jaws that contain inflammatory toxins that would cause irritant burn-like symptoms within the organs and lymphocytes while the nervous system would experience shut down with the heart being the first to suffer as the most severe to come from it being an acrid heart burn or heart attack.

Weight:

33,000 tons

Threat Rating:

High

Species:

Prehistoric golden silk orb weaver-like spider Titan with the cephalothorax being white, her legs being striped black and golden yellow. Her brown crown-shaped, spiky abdomen has a black stripe running down the middle that's broken up by three pairs of yellow 'eyespots' with the other five having each 'eye' on opposite sides of the abdomen. The underside of her abdomen bears an hourglass red-orange mark like that of a brown widow spider.

Nature:

Bio-Terran/Radioactively Venomous

Behavior:

Predator

Unique Features and Abilities:

Webbing:

She could shoot thick silky webbing and a stinger from her mandibles. Kumonga's web could split mid-air into a wide net that could ensnare her foes, restricting their movements. She could also create walls of webs between buildings where she could crawl vertically and also trap her victims.

Sharp Legs:

Kumonga had long legs in sharp points which can be used to skewer opponents, crush through materials, and climb or manipulate the very walls of webbing she had created.

Pedipalps:

Prehensible pedipalps that can be used to grab small prey.

Regenerative ability:

She could regenerate a severed leg it had lost to Ts-Eh-Go when he cut it off with his pincer claw.

Stinger:

A venomous stinger that she spat out that killed one of the Sasori scorpions.

TS-EH-GO

Reported Sighting:

Puebla, Mexico, 1959

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Sasori mortificus

Monarch Classification:

Ts-Eh-Go/Sasori

Nickname(s):

Black Sting

Dark Guardians of the Underworld

Acid-tailed Scorpions

Avatars of Malinalxochitl

Size:

164 feet tall (50 meters)

262 feet long (80 meters)

Weight:

53,000 tons

Threat Rating:

High

Species:

Prehistoric species of Titan closely related to the Pulmonoscorpius of the Carboniferous Period and first appeared in the late Permian period. The carapace of the regular Sasori that average about 180 feet long are imbued with jagged obsidian scutes with the most prominent ones on their tails, giving them a gleaming jet-black coloration. The alpha Titan individual, Ts-Eh-Go, has more of a sapphire coloration, lighter blue underside with a singular row of chili-red blotches running from the base of the mesosoma or abdomen up to the tail stinger. The scorpion Titan is obviously armed with crushing pincer claws that could not only destroy the sturdiest metals, but also cut through Kumonga's webs. However, it is Ts-Eh-Go's asymmetrical mouthparts that make him stand out from other scorpions as one of the mouthparts was elongated like a saber-like fang.

Nature:

Bio-Terran/Radioactively Venomous

Behavior:

Predator

Unique Features and Abilities:

Exoskeletal Carapace:

The carapace is made out chitinous and elements of obsidian embedded into its composition, making the armor tougher and more jagged with spiky protrusions resembling unpolished obsidian flint. A formidable defensive trait useful for protection against larger Titans or others of his own kind.

Crushing Claw Pincers:

The first major characteristic of every scorpion and Ts-Eh-Go is no exception. Ts-Eh-Go's claws were specialized to crush bone, snap limbs off, and cut through Kumonga's tough, fibrous webbing like scissors through paper. The cutting edge of each claw is sharp enough, but it is the pressure they exert is the killer. Amount of pressure is equivalent to 20 alligator bites.

Tail Stinger:

The second major characteristic that every scorpion possesses. Ts-Eh-Go contains the usual anatomical traits needed for a venomous, toxic sting such as a vesicle, or telson containing the pair of poison glands, located right above the stinger. It also contains another gland for acidic streams. The pair of poisonous glands contain deadly neurotoxins that could disorient larger monsters with intense pain, vivid hallucinations, dizziness, abnormal twitches of the muscles, nausea, vomiting, and nightmares for weeks, despite it not being fatal thanks to their bigger bodies. For any organism about the same size or smaller than Ts-Eh-Go though, it is a death sentence as the toxins attack the nervous system causing paralysis, assaulting lymphocytes that lead to dysfunctional organs, causing heart failure, convulsions, and shock. Any or a combination of these things would cause death. Ts-Eh-Go could also excrete a stream of hydrofluoric acid that upon contact would eat into any surface away almost instantly.

Asymmetrical Mouthparts:

One of the mouthparts has evolved into a saber-like fang meant to butcher tougher body parts of his victim while eating.

Frost Giant/Utgard-Loki

Nickname(s):

Mammoth-Tusked Bear

Mountain Cave Demon

Bearded Grizzly

Size:

265 feet tall (Quadrupedal)

315 feet tall (Upright)

Weight:

90,000 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderately High

Species:

Ancient Cave Bears with muscular, somewhat chubby, half-ursine, half-humanoid bodies with grayish brown fur. They possessed giant curved tusks that were half-calcium and half-mineral growing from their lower jaw, shaggy, hairy beards growing from the chin to their wide, thick shoulders, turquoise armored carapace on their neck and back made of actually condensed hair, and muddy-brown scaly plated forelimbs and paws grown with sharp spikes acting as gauntlets and digits armed with ice-blue, long hyperextended claws. They have a crowning mohawk of curved bony spines on their heads. These 'Frost Giants' were ancient relatives of the actual Cave Bears that once lived alongside them in the Pleistocene Period. These beasts were exposed to the geothermal radiation to become what they are today.

This species of prehistoric ursine Titans once ruled the western and northern arctic regions of Eurasia from the Pleistocene Period AKA the Ice Age to the history of ancient human civilizations, which included the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages when Vikings, Celtics, and Goths existed. Like Jormangundr, Frost Giants featured prominently in Norse mythology, but in reality they were an ancient species of giant mammalian predators that once roamed almost half of Europe and northern Russia in greater numbers, with the exceptions of Spain and southeastern Europe. When the Vikings first encountered these monstrous bears, they thought they were looking at the Jotunn AKA Frost Giants from Jotunheim. The terrifying battles or disastrous incidents between the ancient European tribal peoples and the ursine beasts probably what sparked many of the myths about giants and the threat they represented. When food became scarce most of them hibernated deep into the mountains or isolated glaciers hence why the mountains would often be associated with the Jotunn.

Nature:

Bio-Cryogenic

Behavior:

Destroyer

Unique Features and Abilities:

Bio-Cryogenic Nature:

Like Anguirus, Utgard has an internal biological, cryogenic cooling engine that grants him resistance to the sharp cold, arctic air. This what causes the spikes on his armor and back to be perpetually covered in ice crystals as well.

Tough Plated Armor:

Turquoise armored scales on his back, specifically where his shoulder blades are and his neck are what enable protection for the most vulnerable parts that most predatory Titans would likely target.

Scale-plated Arms and Paws:

The modified hairs that have been tightly condensed together as well as some bone growth turn his arms into naturally-evolved armored arm braces that would not only protect his limbs from severe damage, or at least nullify it to a degree, but could also be used to bludgeon enemies.

Cryogenic-Inducing Claws:

The long claws are coated in a bluish, cooling retardant substance secreted from glands in the paws. When Utgard claws into a Titan, the claws sort of inject the substance into the wounds, albeit with less precision and finesse than a cobra bite. Nevertheless, this substance actually freezes blood cells in the body causing a chemical chain reaction where the bodily processes start to slow down, affecting metabolism, causing symptoms with headache, loss of vision, heart failure, increased respiratory difficulty, and lethargy being primary examples. However, it is ineffective against ice-based Titans or creatures heavily armored with Anguirus having both attributes.

Judo Bear

Size:

172 feet tall

Weight:

77,000 tons

Threat Rating:

Low to Moderate

Species:

A prehistoric species of short-faced bear closely related to the spectacled bears from South America and the North American giant short-faced bears of the Ice Age. However, instead of the usual quadrupedal body plan nearly all bears, even the Frost Giant, adapted to, this Ursine Titan superspecies evolved with a mixture of traits that contribute to the bizarre appearance so often described in Japanese folklore as a yokai, the Japanese word for demon or spirit. Apart from the obvious similarities to Asiatic Black Bears and spectacled bears such as black fur, Y-shaped creamy vanilla mark from snout to its circular ears, tan brown streaks on its shoulders and back, and a white crescent mark on its chest, it had some interesting traits similar to the Ice Age's short-faced bear (Arctodus pristinus) such as a disproportionately short snout and relatively longer limbs. More interestingly and shockingly was that the overall body proportions are strikingly identical to a human's as it was not only bipedal, but its legs were more muscular and larger than its already beefy and lengthy arms that were supported by strong pectoral and dorsal muscles. The Titan's head was proportionately smaller than the rest of its body. Not to mention that the torso is incredibly human-like; longer and muscular with a slimmer, hardier stomach that could support actual visible pairs of abdomen muscles than the Frost Giant's relatively bigger belly and wider torso. Then adding more eeriness to this Titan is the presence of a fully developed thumb, albeit shorter than that of an ape or human, in addition to the five digits on its paws. This would make it more humanoid in body plan, though gracile and smaller than its stockier and bigger, more distant European relative. The surprising discovery of four bear cubs with one of them being a baby sleeping next to the Titan were clear indicators that this bear Titan was not only a female, but also a mother to her cubs, as male bears would often behave cannibalistically towards them.

Nature:

Bio-Terran

Behavior:

Territorial/Omnivore

Unique Features and Abilities:

Brute Strength:

Like all bears, Onikuma possess enormous strength as her relatively lithe, slender body is still packed with a lot of muscles, giving her considerable muscle mass enough to claw off a chunk of a mountain. She could wrestle with monsters twice her size and inflict great bodily damage with her claws.

Bite Force:

She has powerful jaws armed with teeth delivering a devastating bite force that could punch through some of the toughest hides and crush bones.

Tough Hide:

While relatively modest compared to most Titans, her hide is not something to sneeze at as it would be like trying to punch through a rhino's hide only twenty times thicker. It is also what enables her to barrel through a cliff wall without significant injury.

Speed and Agility:

She is quite fast and agile because of her small size and her species' lighter bone density. She could roll and even do some backflips to avoid projectiles thrown at her way.

Martial Prowess:

Her fighting stance is a combination of her natural ferocity and power as a monstrous bear and basic martial arts that combine power and speed altogether. It involves a lot of typical clawing and jabbing with her paws mixed with wrestling moves and counters that one would find from judo. Surprisingly, her species are better able to kick than most mammalian Titans discovered so far, which would explain why their legs are just as muscled and/or more so than their forelimbs. One well-placed kick from her clawed feet could severely snap bones and knock the wind out of her opponents, disorienting them enough so she could either escape or launch a counterattack.

RATTLOR

Reported Sighting:

Arizona, USA, 1963

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Crotalus mortus

Monarch Classification:

Rattlor

Nickname(s):

Jake

Overgrown Rattler

Screech Tail

Fire-Spitter

Snake in the Grass

Slitherin' Yellowcrawler

Size:

80 meters (262 feet long)

Weight:

35,000 tons

Threat Rating:

High

Species:

An alpha member of Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes mutated into "Macro" subspecies by the radioactive fallout of the Yellowstone Eruption. Not only having grown to enormous sizes, but the species as a whole have some of their natural traits mutated and modified into more potent versions of them that pose a very serious threat to humans or any animal unfortunate enough to be on the snakes' menu while acquiring new ones. Rattlor has his frontal brows and back of his head covered in sharp, thorn-like scales with a flexible row of spines running down from head to tail. Unique to him and his kin was the development of a bony roof of their mouth, their unusual cravings for a flammable mineral called iridium and phosphorous, and the presence of a special bladder meant to store exorbitant amounts of methane.

Nature:

Venomous Predator

Behavior:

Secretive, but aggressive

Unique Features and Abilities:

Powerful Nuclear Neurotoxins:

The geothermal nuclear radiation from the Manhattan Project had mutated the venom glands to produce more potent versions of the regular rattlesnake's neurotoxins. When Rattlor bites into his prey, his fangs inject the neurotoxins that could now paralyze and incapacitate larger giant animals through weakness of their limbs and loss of vision. Giant Titans would suffer from headaches, depression, and dysfunction of the bowels, which would cause abnormal changes in their behavior that would last a week at most. Smaller victims would suffer from extremely forms of cancer as well as having trouble breathing with the brain shutting down and eventually, the whole body causing a slow painless death.

Fire Spit:

Another change to Rattlor's physiology was the development of a second pair of venom glands in the upper jaw that were heavily modified to produce stinging, acidic inflammable chemicals. Along with the presence of iridium and phosphorous in its smaller sharp teeth, when the snake produces bio-electricity thanks to a small gland in the roof of its mouth, the sparks react with the flammable minerals simultaneously with the excretion of the acidic, flammable chemicals from the grooves in the gums near the fangs. Thus, this allows mutant rattlesnake to spit fire, which could burn and destroy an entire army platoon.

Sonic Tail Rattler:

The mutation in the tail is the formation of a pair of sound organs that are like the equivalent of vocal chords making the base of the rattler look bulged like a club and the enlargement of the rattle's width. This modification of the trait allows them to make a high-pitched sound that sounded like a horrid mix between a scream and the usual rattling sound. The sound that would not only attack the auditory cortex of the brain, but also shatter windows and cause electronics to short-circuit, becoming nonfunctional.

Nickname(s):

King of the Yellowbellies

Size:

110 meters (360 feet long)

Weight:

42,000 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderately high

Species:

An alpha member of the "Macro" subspecies of the desert kingsnake that was mutated by the Manhattan Project. Distinguished by a crown of spike-like horns on his head, horned bony brows over his eyes, and a row of longer spines running along his entire body all the way to the tip of his tail ending in four thagomizer-like protrusions.

Nature:

Bio-Electric Mutant

Behavior:

Non-venomous constrictor

Unique Features and Abilities:

Biological Electrical Defense Field:

Yellowback and his species have four pairs of specialized battery-like muscles on both right and left flanks that could produce and distribute great charges of bio-electricity throughout their bodies, creating a defensive EMP field/static barrier around them that could fry electronics at mid-range within a couple hundred feet of them while also electrocuting anyone who gets too close as well.

Irradiated Immune System:

Yellowback's hyper-mutated immune system evolved to become extremely resistant or resilient to toxins and pathogens.

Elephant Walrus

Size:

60 meters tall (196 feet)

90 meters long (295 feet long)

Weight:

98,000 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderate

Species:

A highly derived species of rhynchosaurs, which are a group of Triassic diapsid reptiles distantly related to the archosaurs, that have survived the Triassic extinction by adapting to life underwater. Over time, their conservative lizard-like bodies generally evolved into more aquatic walrus-like bodies, limbs becoming gigantic, clawed flippers and their tails growing longer and bigger into shark-like flukes. Their skin is comprised of dark copper pebbly, bony scales. Their diet changed from herbivory to carnivory that went with their tusk-like premaxillae of their mouth becoming beak-like meant to shear into flesh and crush diamond-hard shells of other Macro species or minor 'Titan' monsters. They have also evolved a secondary pair of tusks, which like walruses, are longer and thicker among males that use them for fighting, dominance, and display. Other noticeable traits are the presence of red inflatable neck pouches, which is present on both sexes for communicative purposes, and large, bulbous proboscis found only on males. Their bodies are not only humongous and wide, but incredibly thick and bulky from many layers of blubber that protect this Titan species from the harsh frigid elements of Antarctica's inhospitable environment.

Nature:

Flippered Marine Rhyncosaur

Behavior:

Highly temperamental

Unique Features and Abilities:

Huge Tusks and Beak:

Massive tusks protruding from his face serve as offensive lances that can rip through titanium with little effort. They continue to grow, but are worn through the constant use in battle. Their tusk-like premaxillae of their mouth evolved becoming more beak-like meant to shear into flesh and crush diamond-hard shells of other Macro species or minor 'Titan' monsters.

Liquid Nitrogen Bellow:

Maguma is able to convert the water he had stored in the "water pouches" in each flank of his neck and fire out concentrated blasts of nitrogen from his mouth, freezing and suffocating everything in his path. Water is processed and filtered through a specialized chamber in the abdominal region that send it to the water pouches. The excess material such as salt get caught by specialized hair-like structures resistant to the cold and sent into excretional glands on behind his ears. His proboscis acts as a vent for excess nitrogen to exit out of.

Size:

43 meters tall (141 feet tall)

110 meters long (360 feet long)

Weight:

42,000 tons

Threat Rating:

High

Species:

This ancient iguana-like monster belongs to a Titan superspecies descended from an unknown line of primitive archosaurs more closely related to Euparkeria. They have been sighted within the jungles and mountains of Skull Island, as well as diving along the coast to great depths. Their conservative, lizard-like body plan grants them access to many habitats, while their armored scales and quill-tipped tails protect them from other predators. Their saliva contains a radioactive venom which they utilize in a similar manner to Komodo Dragons to hunt large prey. They are certainly not picky eaters, though, and will consider most things smaller than themselves as potential meals as well. Though they hunt mostly on land, they often make their dens within a deep channel of water, whether in a lake, river, or the ocean. They seem able to respire oxygen partially through their skin, particularly through pores along their ventral neck region above their dewlaps.

Nature:

Relic Archosaur

Behavior:

Stalker/Ambusher

Unique Abilities:

Radioactive Venom:

The creature's saliva contains radioactive venom that, once injected via bite, would run rampant into victim's bloodstream causing cancer, excessive blood loss, degradation of the lymphocytes and white blood cells. The victim would slowly die an agonizing death as their insides slowly become wrecked with cancerous tumors and liquified organs.

Skin Respiration

Toxic Blood:

Rhedosaurus carries ancient viruses and pathogens within his bloodstream, making his blood toxic and lethal upon bleeding. A deadly plague would form, causing nearby animals and people to fall severely sick as the deadly pathogens enter in the body.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1984

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Mapingutherium paradoxicus

Behemoth/Mapinguary

Nickname(s):

Behemoth Titan

Mastodon-like Creature

Size:

480 feet tall

Weight:

147,000 tons

Threat Rating:

Moderate to High

Species:

The Titan descendants of prehistoric, semiaquatic ground sloths with large, curled tusks resembling those of a mammoth, knuckle-walking in a way reminiscent of a gorilla. He is covered in light brown fur, while his head resembles that of a mammoth with small ears and a short tapir-like trunk. Behemoth also has a row of small flat spines running down his back. The ends of his forelimbs are tipped with broad fingers bearing very large claws, with the hindlimbs being stouter for weight bearing; due to this, Behemoth is capable of standing on his hindlimbs. Behemoth's tusks also appear to have some sort of green algae or vines growing on them.

Nature:

Bio-Terran

Behavior:

Territorial

Unique Abilities:

Durability:

Behemoth's fur is essentially fireproof, as fire cannot burn on it. Very little of the heat from the fire actually affects Behemoth's skin, which makes it merely a nuisance.

Reforestation:

Behemoth's movement leaves behind trace amounts of radiation which, as a result, grow jungle-like foliage in his path. One noticeable example of this was when clear-cut portions of the Amazon rainforest spawned due to Behemoth's radiation.

Strength and Combat:

Behemoth can use his strong and sharp tusks to destroy buildings with ease. He can also attack with the claws on his front limbs while standing on his hind legs.

Destroyer

Unique Abilities:

Amphibious Nature

Scylla's inner biology greatly resembles that of a squid, allowing her to survive both on land and in water.

Durability

Due the spiky armor that covers her body and legs, Scylla is durable enough to topple buildings and withstand bullets and missiles with little to no damage.

Liquid Nitrogen Emission

Scylla is able to emit massive quantities of liquid nitrogen from her body, which enables her to slow down the melting of ice in Antarctica, stabilizing the global sea levels in the process.

Strength and Combat

Due to her lack of other limbs, Scylla fights using her legs. These legs and their spiky tips are strong enough to tear through solid rock and buildings with ease.

Species:

The MUTOs are ancient parasitic arthropods that evolved during the Permian Period of Earth's history. Technically, the MUTOs are apart of a smaller sub-species of the much larger MUTO Prime. The MUTOs reproduced by killing members of the Godzillasaurus species, as well as other species of titans, and laying their eggs inside their prey's radioactive bodies. Like Godzilla, they feed off of the Earth's natural radiation.

The MUTO's bodies are covered in an iridescent, metallic grayish-black exoskeleton. They have orangey red, narrowly shaped eyes. The shape of their head is reminiscent of Gyaos, and they have triangular jaws resembling a hooked beak, with the male MUTO having two 'mandibles' in his chin while the female only has one.

The female MUTO has two pairs of forelimbs and a smaller pair on her chest, and is much bigger than the male MUTO, standing nearly twice the height of the male and being almost as tall as Godzilla. She also has a pouch-like structure on her abdomen, which while gravid visibly contains the glowing eggs. The male MUTO is nearly identical in appearance, except that one of the two forelimb pairs has been modified into his wings, which are long, pointed and membranous, similar to those of a pterosaur. The design possesses long, slender somewhat deer-like hind limbs, with flat, broad feet ending in two hoof-like toes. The forelimbs all end in a pseudo claw form, being curved like a sickle. When walking the MUTOs use the front "knuckle" of their claws, giving it a hook-like appearance.

MUTO 3 looks slightly different in appearance to MUTO 2, the other female MUTO. MUTO 3 has three fin-like structures running down her back, as well as leg joints that all end in a noticeable point. Unlike her deceased kin, her exoskeleton is more of a gray color instead of black. It is possible that she is another species of MUTO not yet seen before.

Nature:

Bio-Electromagnetic

Behavior:

Parasitic Predators

Unique Abilities:

Durability

Both MUTOs were durable enough to take barrages of both small and large arms fire without any damage. Though the attacks from Godzilla shown to harm them as the female MUTO went down from the first atomic ray shown to weaken her for short period of time.

Echolocation

Both MUTOs can use echolocation to communicate, find sources of radiation, and locate each other.

Electromagnetic Pulse

The male MUTO is able to unleash electromagnetic pulses from his claws, which can disable electric apparatuses in a five-mile-wide radius (though it is also implied he does not necessarily have to rely on his claws to unleash an EMP, as when he gets the warhead, he unleashes it from within mid-air). The female can instead surround herself with an EMP field, which performs the same function. There don't appear to be any limits to how often either MUTO can use their EMP abilities. In the official novelization, it is explained the EMP ability evolved as a defense mechanism, used to prevent Godzilla's species from using their atomic breath.

Flight

The male MUTO has wings which he can use to fly through the air, but his top speed is undetermined. Naturally, these wings aided him in seeking out radiation to offer to the female. The wings also gave the male a massive combat advantage against Godzilla, being able to ambush him from the skies with a series of strafing and grappling attacks. He would usually be able to escape back into the skies before Godzilla could retaliate.

Intelligence

The MUTOs have shown to be intelligent enough to work as a team as the male MUTO was able to drag Godzilla away from the female MUTO, who then attacked him in unison. The female was also able to quickly determine Ford's involvement in destroying her nest.

Reproduction

The female MUTO has the ability to reproduce sexually. She lays hundreds of eggs near radioactive objects so that when her offspring hatch, they can immediately feed off the radiation. As parasites, the females of the MUTO parasitic species lays their eggs inside the radioactive carcasses of the larger Godzilla species in order to reproduce. If no carcass is present, the female will create an improvised nest by smashing a large hole into the earth to lay and protect the eggs in. The will to reproduce for MUTOs is their main driving force, and is so rapid that it is described as a "breeding force" that can quickly overwhelm/over-populate the Earth.

Speed and Agility

The male MUTO was able to outmaneuver Godzilla due to his wings and smaller size while the female MUTO possessed enough speed to outrun humans.

Stamina

The MUTOs were shown to have excellent stamina and resilience. The male spent most of his time after hatching flying around in a constant hunt for radiation, and most importantly, a potential mate. In his final confrontation in San Francisco, the male fought Godzilla for several hours by himself, from afternoon to well into the night, while the female built a nest for their eggs. The female also displays excellent stamina, traveling from Nevada to San Francisco in the span of a couple days, tearing through any obstacles between her with her own massive size. She fought alongside the male in San Fransisco, even while being incredibly injured from Godzilla's attacks, most notably his atomic breath.

Strength and Combat

Both the male and female MUTOs possess immense physical strength. The male MUTO was strong enough to drag Godzilla way from the female MUTO without difficulties and dredge up a Russian attack submarine from the depths of the ocean and pull it dozens of miles inland on the island of Hawaii; the fact that he could perform such a feat, and later attack a ship in San Francisco Bay to collect a nuclear warhead, implies that he posses some swimming capabilities. The female was able to claw herself out of Mount Yucca, as well as being able to destroy buildings with ease. She was also able toss Godzilla himself around a few times, despite his own immense size and weight.

TITANOSAURUS

Reported Sighting:

South Pacific Paleo-Sphere (a vast unusual Bio-Sphere stretching across the North and South Pacific, bordered or defined by the Mariana, Philippine, Bougainville, Tonga, Izu Bonin, and Japan trenches), 1989

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Titanus sauropisces

Monarch Classification:

Titanosaurus/Taniwha

Nickname(s):

Dr. Mafune's Dinosaur

Size:

650 feet tall (minus the large tail fin)

2,778 feet long

Weight:

151,498 tons

Threat Rate:

Low to Moderate

Species:

At first, Titanosaurus was thought to be the sole surviving species of spinosaurs, a family of sail-backed, crocodile-snouted theropod dinosaurs of the early to middle Cretaceous, as he shares many physical similarities to them such as his tapering, triangular crocodile-like snout, relatively long, flexible neck, two fan-like sail fins: One on his head and neck, the other on his back, powerful hindlimbs with partially webbed feet, and strong, lengthy forelimbs with partial flippers armed with sharp claws. The only exceptions are his immensely strong tail ending with an enormous fish-like tail fin and the two pairs of horns with the smaller pair growing from his bony eyebrows while the larger pair grow from behind his cranium, granting him a rather draconic appearance. However, genetic testing and phylogenetic assessment later revealed that Titanosaurus was entirely something else.

The dinosaur-like beast was part of an entirely new group of animals that blur the line between amphibians and reptiles called Pseudoreptilia. Prehistoric animals that are highly derived amphibians that started out as aquatic, underdeveloped tadpoles, but growing up into adulthood, they take on more reptilian, land-based characteristics such as hardened scaly skin, more developed, straighter limbs, heightened senses, strong air-breathing lungs, and powerful tails while still retaining some of their amphibian ancestry such as their ventral gills, fish-like fins, and pores between scales that enable absorption and respiration of oxygen from the water. They are basically the amphibian versions of dinosaurs and Titanosaurus is the monumental pinnacle of this group of peculiar animals.

Nature:

Bioluminescent/Bio-Terran

Behavior:

Passive Aggressive

Unique Abilities:

Titanosaurus is highly adapted for life in the deep sea. His reddish coloration makes him nearly invisible to other abyssal inhabitants, as red light doesn't penetrate far into the ocean. Five pairs of external gills along the ventral side of his neck are home to colonies of bacteria that assist in respirating a variety of volcanic chemicals, similar to those found within the bodies of giant tube worms. The many folds within the skin of his ventral regions increase surface area for better oxygen extraction as well. He does not rely on any form of sonar, but possesses a very sensitive lateral line system across his body, allowing him to detect even very faint movements and construct a three-dimensional map of his surroundings in pitch darkness. This allows him to move silently within the abyss, attracting as little attention as possible.

Despite being adept in the dark, Titanosaurus retains large, functional crocodile-like eyes, which are very sensitive and can detect the still poorly-understood phenomena of hydrothermal light and seismic light. This sensitivity, however, makes him almost totally blind on the surface, where he must protect his vision with dark green nictitating membranes, giving his yellowish eyes a greenish tint. His lateral line is also easily provoked by hypersonic frequencies, which he is quick to respond to. Like many deep-sea organisms, Titanosaurus is bioluminescent, which is activated in ever-changing patterns along his dorsal fins, possibly as a form of communication, though he is the only member of his species observed thus far. Under stress, he is able to produce a sudden, very intense blast of light all across his body, stunning attackers.

Physically, Titanosaurus is sleek, but still very powerful. He easily outpaces Godzilla underwater, and is highly maneuverable and graceful. On land, however, he is much more cumbersome. Even so, he retains use of his powerful claws, spike-like crocodilian teeth, and immensely strong tail, whose thrashing is able to create whirlpools underwater and gales in the air. A strike from such an appendage is estimated to be enough to level the average city building. At times, even his terrestrial clumsiness plays in his favor as he violently throws his weight around. His hide is coated in thick layers of large, overlapping mineral scales for flexible protection.

Titanosaurus doesn't solely rely on his physical brawn, however, as he has a specialized "lung" coupled with a specialized pair of glands that together produce extremely hot, highly-pressurized water that boil at about 80 degrees Celsius when he shoots forth his scalding hot geyser breath from his mouth.

EBIRAH

Reported Sighting:

Letchi Island, 1966

Specimen

Scientific Classification:

Titanochelus allobrachiatus

Monarch Classification:

Ebirah

Nickname(s):

Daimyo of the Deep

The Giant Claw

Lobster Titan

Size:

288 feet tall

436 feet long

Weight:

38,953 tons

Threat Rate:

Moderately high

Species:

Titan species of prehistoric lobsters that are the most massive crustaceans with much of their massive bulk due to high concentrations of microcrystalline minerals within their rusty-brown, reddish exoskeletons. This biolithic physiology makes them extremely durable with their weakness being their more vulnerable, sensitive joints. Their shells share uncanny resemblance to the deep seafloor down to the microscopic level that makes them undetectable to sonar and radar. They also have some morphological traits possibly indicating a relationship with eurypterids, though this may be another example of kaiju genetic drift or convergent evolution.

Radiological analysis indicates a diet mostly consisting of scavenged volcanic minerals and various chemicals acquired from thermal vents and cold seeps.

Nature:

Biolithic

Behavior:

Deep Sea Predator

Unique Abilities:

Ebirah is also, however, an opportunistic predator. He is armed with a disparate set of claws powered by hydraulic muscles. The right one is far larger and stockier, being able to exert enormous amounts of pressure and snapping fast enough to generate a huge cavitation blast which can be aimed with deadly precision against smaller targets up to a quarter mile away. Though most effective in water, this weapon is also not to be underestimated in air either as it could also generate destructive shockwaves. The left arm is far more slender and longer, ending in a more sword-like pincer claw that is capable of much more fluid, rapid motion meant for slicing and stabbing into his opponent's tough hides.

He has a smaller extra set of grasping limbs and claws meant for greater manipulation of objects and during feeding.

Ebirah also has a longer tail-like abdomen adorned with large spikes on each armor segment and the tail fin having sharp, blade-like protrusions that he could use to bludgeon other Titans.

Weight:

169,350 tons

Threat Rate:

Low

Species:

A species of prehistoric marine turtles that bear great resemblance to Alligator Snapping Turtles that had been artificially created and modified through genetic engineering by unknown cybernetic technology that was truly advanced for ancient times, basically turning the creatures into one of the first biologically artificial Titans. Gamera resembles a giant bipedal, snapping turtle that has a large head with a sharp, hawk-like serrated beak, the lower jaws sporting tusks, powerful, muscular arms with large claws and the shoulders armed with bony spurs, elephantine legs with clawed feet, an enormous spiky carapace with artificial cyborg engines built within, and a small armored tail. He has a dark-green, blue-grayish coloration with his shell sporting jade coloration.

Nature:

Genetic Artificial Titan

Behavior:

Protector/Guardian

Unique Abilities:

Atomic Plasma Balls

Occurs whenever the spikes on his small tail glow in neon orange all the way up to his throat when he then fires a combustion of Atomic Mana Fireballs from the mouth

Shift to Flight

The four holes on his shell harbor engines that generate more than enough turbulence and power for vertical takeoffs. His arms expand into flipper-like wings with dark cobalt membranes for further maneuverability while his hind limbs retract into the shell.

Saucer Mode

All four limbs, tail, and head retract into the shell as he spins around in circular motion.

Massive Bite Attack

Gamera's beaked jaws are hardened with layers of calcium reinforced with steel alloy thanks to the Muan's advancements in bioengineering and genetic modification that give his beak the sharpness surpassing that of a broadsword. His bite could cut and shear through the toughest hide and densest bones of Titans while his inner spike-like teeth would crush and pulverize the tough substances with ease.

Protective Hardened Shell

With layers of orichalcum, steel, and unknown minerals integrated into the keratin framework, his shell could tank the hardest of physical blows and deflect energy projectiles back at his enemies.

Fast Swimmer

Elbow Spike Slash/Stab

Retractable and sheathable spikes that Gamera would use as melee weapons to slash and stab his opponents in softer and critical spots.

35,000 tons

Threat Rate:

Extremely High; Extinction Level

Species:

Gyaos are hypervorous, artificial reptavians that are horrific chimaeras of several traits from birds, pterosaurs, bats, dinosaurs, and lizards, genetically-engineered by the ancient Muans in their quest to create their own army of genetically perfect Titans. The Gyaos resemble malnourished, giant bat-like pterosaurs with a flattened, arrow shaped head, rough, reddish-brown skin, large leathery wings with three claws on each, taloned feet and a flat tail.

Nature:

Genetically-Engineered Organism

Behavior:

Ravenous hypervores

Unique Abilities:

Flight

All life stages of Gyaos are agile capable flyers. The juvenile Gyaos can reach speeds up to Mach 1, adults can reach Mach 4.2, and the Alpha Gyaos can reach Mach 4.5. adult Gyaos and Alpha Gyaos were nimble enough to dodge the majority of the plasma fireballs Gamera aimed at them.

Sonic Scalpel

Gyaos can generate a powerful beam from its supersonic scream. It is measured at 3 million hertz and can slice objects in half with ease.

Regeneration

The Gyaos has a healing factor, which makes it capable of regrowing its severed foot after only an hour.

Asexual Reproduction

The Heisei Gyaos can manipulate its chromosomes in order to reproduce even without a mate.

Growth

The Gyaos can grow and evolve quickly as long as it continues to eat.

Durability

Alpha Gyaos is able to shrug off missiles and can survive orbital re-entry.

DNA Manipulation

The Gyaos can manipulate its own DNA to suit its environment. This not only allows it to reproduce asexually but to grow in size and strength and even develop new adaptations. When one Gyaos evolved into an Alpha it gained protective lenses over its eyes in order to allow it to be awake during daylight.

Flock Mentality

All of the Gyaos congregate in mega-sized flocks that could block out the entire sun. Once a Gyaos or several of them spot their prey, that one individual communicates to the entire flock and the rest follow to attack. These pterosaur-like monsters use their numerical advantage to gang up on solitary Titans or weakened individuals, eventually overwhelming their victim due to their unrelenting drive to satiate their near-constant ravenous hunger for flesh.

Species:

One of the newest Titan species created by the interbreeding between the "Macro"-sized versions of Carcharodon carcharias and Carcharocles megalodon in the South Pacific Paleo-Sphere. As a result, this shark Titan species bears genetic attributes of both as well as being much bigger than either any of them along with couple of new kaiju-like traits such as armored spiky plates evolved from dermal denticles, bony bladiie-like spurs and spines on the flippers and dorsal fin.

Nature:

Ancient/Macro Hybrid Predator

Behavior:

Terrifying Force of Nature

Unique Abilities:

Massive Bite/Chomp Attack:

Acheilus/Bruce's bite force and many rows of titanium-hardened teeth can punch through some of the densest and toughest hides of Titans. He could actually tear and rip their flesh apart. His same bite could also easily tear through a warship, even like the Archangel, without breaking much of his own teeth.

Fin Blade Slice:

Thanks to the blade-like nature of his spurs and spines on his fins, he could use them to bisect and slice through enemy ships or other marine monsters in addition to his body spikes.

Massive Fan Tail Whip:

Like Titanosaurus, one whip of his finned tail could generate whirlpools or tsunamis and the fin alone is enough to destroy smaller ships and damage the likes of the Archangel and the Minerva.

Species:

Ancient Titan descendants of Livyatan that have taken on Basilosaurus-like characteristics in a minor degree of atavism as in having an elongated serpent-like body with the hind flippers grown back as well as having a row of spikes from head to tail. The 'melon' on his head has become covered in armored plates not only for protection, but to also function as a ramming weapon without suffering from the physical trauma resulting from such a collision.

Nature:

Ancient Aquatic Predator

Behavior:

Aggressive

Unique Abilities:

Echolocation:

Like his non-Titan counterparts, his 'melon' organ in his head sends out sonar to determine his distance to nearby objects and navigate his way through the ocean. It could also be used as a stun weapon to temporarily disorient larger Titans or knock out smaller organisms unconscious.

Enhanced Head Armor:

Bony plates grown onto his head enable him to ram into objects and inflict bludgeoning damage without suffering from the trauma.

Species:

The Roc are gigantic, atavistic eagles with yellow beaks, blue-indigo plumage, greenish wing feathers, and golden head crests that usually prey on smaller Titans, sometimes killing medium-sized Titans by swooping fast and hard onto their necks with their sharp foot talons to kill them by breaking their necks. They also retain some reptilian features such as clawed wings, bony horned eyebrows over their eyes, and feathery dinosaur-like tails.

Nature:

Aerobatic Seafaring Predators

Behavior:

Predatory

Unique Abilities:

Bullet-Proof Feathers:

Their feathers have been hardened by steel minerals integrated into them from digesting the flesh of their radioactive prey, yet still flexible enough to not hinder the birds from flying.

Keen Eyesight:

The Rocs have extremely sharp vision that enables them to see colors, ultraviolet, and energy traces of radioactivity from their prey items.

Enhanced Strength and Speed:

These birds could dive faster up to maximum speed that surpasses that of modern air jets while comparable to that of the Rodans, which allows them to kill their victim in one hard swoop that would break the victim's spinal cord. More surprisingly, they can lift and carry prey that are twice their own body weight.

Species:

Flocks of giant avian descendants from an unknown species of Old World vultures that venture from pelagic coasts to across the seas and are characterized by their bronze, copper-red plumage, naked bald necks with red throat pouches, and heads armed sharp beaks that have razor-sharp teeth inside them. They have a taste for younger, and/or weakened Titans and dead animals.

The Grimm Reaper, an older and larger individual with battle scars and a deformed head after years of eating radioactive carcasses. His feathers a jet black and having a more stooped, hunchbacked posture. The other distinguishing feature that makes him a terrifying specter, especially in the night is his one mutated left eye. In comparison to his multiple right eyes on his skeletal right side of his face, his left one is crimson, enlarged and bloodshot. In the night, his left bloodshot eye glow crimson, which makes the monstrous vulture's glare all the more creepy and evil.

Nature:

Radioactive scavengers

Behavior:

Opportunistic

Unique Abilities:

Radiation Burst:

They are able to expel a burst of highly lethal radiation that contaminates their surroundings and forms a temporary "shield" upon their own bodies.

Feverish Aggression:

The animals become extremely aggressive when each individual tries to secure their own spot on a fallen monster. They spend more of their energy squabbling and fighting each other than feasting.

"Death's Glare":

Grim Reaper's glare illuminate ominously in crimson and once enveloped in such a light, the victim begins to experience hallucinatory visions and their view of this individual elder Ookondoru becomes increasingly warped and distorted into that of a horrific illusion where the Grim Reaper becomes a terrifying, literal personification of Death with a sickly aura around him. Many of them often die without resisting the monster snatching them up in his beak, or ripping them apart with his talons with their will to fight slowly evaporating. Some just died on the spot from just being overwhelmed by sheer paranoia alone. This is the first time such a minor Titan is ever described to have such a supernatural ability to alter the victim's perception of reality. There is currently no scientific explanation as to how and why this bird got it in the first place, let alone describe how such a glare could have a dramatic effect on his victims.

The Godzilla of Down Under

Mutated Frilled Neck Lizard

Size:

436 feet long

Weight:

20,050 tons

Threat Rate:

Moderate

Species:

Jirass is a Titan species of dinosaur, more specifically, belonging to a family of primitive neotheropods called Dilophosauridae. While bearing uncanny similarities to her infamous relative such as relatively gracile theropod build, double bony thin crests, and grasping hands, she has several striking traits that make her truly a unique Titan on her own merit. She has an ornamental, spiny neck frill that when flared outward from her neck, it would display startling, frightening blend of colors ranging from crisp orange, speckled brown, to yellow.

Nature:

Semi-Aquatic Dinosaur

Behavior:

Elusive, but dangerously tenacious when provoked

Unique Abilities:

Her frill was in fact a highly complex structure that included layers of tightly-packed subcutaneous blood vessel and sponge-like airway networks that enabled the many folds to function as gills. Also embedded within the frill's tissues, as well as across much of her body, were a variety of symbiotic bacterial colonies. These colonies likely also played a role in nutrient absorption and respiration during periods of dormancy. Many of their own byproducts were highly toxic, making Jirass' flesh unpalatable to most other creatures. Contact with human skin often resulted in rash outbreaks similar to poison ivy.

Jirass' most potent defense and offense was her ability to concentrate her body's toxic compounds within modified salivatory glands, which spit out as a projectile attack. This venomous fluid could be projected with great accuracy and speed as a spray, a stream, or blob depending on the targeted threat or prey. Additionally, she was able to charge her venom-fluid with her body's bioelectricity, creating a "poison taser" effect that would short out most machinery and stun similarly sized and smaller kaiju.

Threat Rate:

Moderately High

Species:

The Titan superspecies of Stegosaur that had managed to outlast its other relatives from the Jurassic Period and onwards into the present thanks to being mutated into semi-aquatic, omnivorous Titans similar to the Godzillasaurus. These bipedal stegosaur Titans sport a combination of both Stegosaurus and Kentrosaurus traits such as two staggered rows of dorsal dermal plates and two rows of long sharp spines surrounding the plates. The largest of the plates were between his shoulders. His long armored tail ends with three rows of deadly spikes, totaling about nine tail thagomizers. His brawny arms and shoulders are covered in armored scutes and spikes and his hands are partially webbed with each digit bearing sharp claws. His armored elephantine feet end with blunt, hoof-like claws. Stegasaur's head is smaller proportionately to his body than Godzilla's head-to-body proportions. However, the bite force of his toothy jaws and hooked beak is not to be underestimated as it would be like getting bitten by a snapping turtle.

Nature:

Prehistoric Plated Amphibious Dinosaur

Behavior:

Fierce Defender

Unique Abilities

Isotope Flame Breath

Stegasaur fires a concentrated beam of Pure Radiation from his mouth. Occurs when his spines glow in a neon pink/purple color from his tall all the way up to his head.

Spike Tail Whip

His tail thagomizers could penetrate through concrete and seriously wound or injure even the strongest of monsters with a well-placed strike to the joints or head.

Plated Scale Shield

His purplish-gray scales are also diamond-hardened to the point that missiles and artillery rounds are rendered ineffective against such a body armor. He could even tank some of the more severe physical attacks for a long period of time until he is overwhelmed, or exhausted.

Mega Stomp

Stegasaur could create massive earthquakes and make the whole earth shake with one stomp with the purpose of disorienting his opponents or trapping their feet in the fault lines he created.

Massive Bite Attack

The bite force of his beaked jaws could puncture through though scales and hides of other Titans. Stegasaur could also eclipse bones with such a bite. With Isotope Fire stored in his mouth, he could also sear his enemy while biting him at the same time, cauterizing the wound in the process as well as inflicting maximum pain.

Species:

Prehistoric Gliding Dragon superspecies with emerald green scales and olive green underbelly. The dragon's head is crocodile-like with a notched hook at the tip of its snout, mustache-like feelers, and sports two pairs of horns with ear-like fins behind them. Amhuluk has crocodilian osteoderms with spiky protrusions all the way to the tail that ends in a vertical fin-like fluke. The Titan's forelimbs are of equal length to the hindlimbs with the former having huge fin-like membranes on its arms.

Nature:

Ancient Apex Titan

Behavior:

Unique Abilities:

Radioactive Fire Breath:

Amhuluk can spit out pressurized radioactive vapor in a form of a white plasma laser-like beam from his mouth that could set entire city blocks ablaze and wipe out most conventional military weaponry thanks to a crop-like organ in his chest.

Horn Charge

Glided Flight:

With the use of his fin-like membranes on his arms, Amhuluk is capable of limited flight over long distances for several hundred miles before having to land.

Fast Swimmer:

Thanks to his fins and his crocodile-like body, the dragon is able to swim adeptly in large bodies of water and could fight underwater well as equally as he could on land.

Toxic Mist:

Skin glands underneath his scaly hide are able to release a toxic gas that could poison everything with a lethal virus within four miles.
