Zilla

Zilla vs. Godzilla on the cover of issue 2 of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth

**Zilla**is a founding and current member of the **Earth Defenders**. She is a giant Marine Iguana Kaiju, a product of nuclear testing on the French Polynesia Islands. She makes her first appearances in Honolulu in 2010, where she fought Godzilla and lost but later aids him in the Trilopod War.

## Appearance

Zilla resembles a giant sized theropod (Similar to a Dromeosaur or a Tyrannosaur) dinosaur with some tributes to an iguana. She has a rough, square-shaped under bite with a pronounced chin, a long neck and large fin-like scutes along her back and down the length of her long tail. She also possesses a very thick hide. Her legs are long and powerful with three dinosaurian toes on each foot, plus a vestigial toe on the back. Her arms are also long and her hands posses five claws each.

After being accepted into **Fairy Tail**, Zilla is given her Guild Mark. Her Guild Mark is black and placed on the right side of her neck.

## Personality

During her first appearance, Zilla was shown to be wild and ruthless, mercilessly attacking Honolulu, Hawaii for no particular purpose. This was also shown during the Trilopod War when she brutally assaulted the Trilopod clones of Godzilla and Titanosaurus. Four years after Godzilla's supposed death, when Zilla is seen swimming around the outskirts of the Monster Islands, Lucy Casprell suspects she won't come to land because she doesn't feel welcome among the other monsters while Chavez suspects that it's because she's shy. After joining the Earth Defenders, Zilla has been shown to be kind and protective towards her comrades, yet still has been shown to be quite aggressive in battle.

Zilla shares a good relationship with her comrades, especially Kumonga and Kamoebas as well as Titanosaurus (before he defected) as the four Kaiju formed a team. After learning that Titanosaurus had joined the **Earth Conquerors**, Zilla along with Kamoebas and Kumonga became very hurt by this but still never lost hope in their former comrade.

## History

The first Zilla was originally a marine iguana that inhabited the French Polynesia Islands before being mutated by nuclear testing. In 1998, Zilla attacked New York City and was at first mistaken for Godzilla. Zilla laid her eggs in the Madison Square Garden until a majority of them were destroyed by the American military before she was killed by jets. However, one egg had survived and later hatched into the current Zilla before she disappeared. After examining the body of the first Zilla, the military realized that it wasn't Godzilla, but a different creature.

## Abilities

**Power Breath:** A technique that she was taught by Godzilla, Zilla can fire a powerful beam of fiery green energy, similar to Godzilla's Atomic Beam. She used this attack to blast Belcusas off a cliff. However she is currently still learning how to control it.

**Immense Strength:** Uses tooth and claw in battle with opponents such as Godzilla. She can also use her chutes on her back as a slashing/stabbing weapon as seen when fighting a Trilopod Godzilla. She has enough strength to lift and brought opponents like Ebirah and Kamacuras using her powerful jaws. The bite strength of her jaws is able to inflict on Rustyrose's Jet Black Sword Arm. She can also ram into opponents like Belcusas. Her strength also allows her to burrow underground.

**Amphibious Lifestyle:** Being a Marine Iguana, Zilla is capable of spending time underwater as well as on land, similar to Godzilla.
