## Summary

**MUTO Prime** (**ムートー・プライム *Mūtō Puraimu***) is a Titan that appears in the 2019 Legendary Comics graphic novel, *Godzilla: Aftershock*.

The parent subspecies of two MUTOs which fought Godzilla in San Francisco, MUTO Prime emerged shortly after their death to draw out Godzilla. Gradually weakening him over the course of several brief encounters, MUTO Prime aimed to infect him with its parasitic larvae, potentially giving rise to an entire ecosystem of MUTOs which could wipe out the human race. Fortunately, through the intervention of Monarch's Dr. Emma Russell, Godzilla was able to triumph over MUTO Prime in their last encounter and kill it once and for all.

## Mentality

**Personality**: MUTO Prime is classified as having the behavior of a destroyer. Being the natural predator of his species, she appeared to have an ancient rivalry with Godzilla. Like the regular MUTOs, Prime's main goals revolved around consuming radiation to gain strength, and reproduction. MUTO Prime was only seen attacking humans to obtain sources of radiation and didn't seem to kill out of pure malice. When her eggs have been safely deposited inside a host, they emit a unique sonic frequency known as "the Drums of Raijin", which causes MUTO Prime to switch from fight to flight and retreat underground.

## Arsenal

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Seismic Concussive Blast**: In its third encounter with Godzilla, when it punched the ground, MUTO Prime triggered a shockwave that destabilized a nearby faultline or created a new one as a result of its fracturing a weak portion of an existing tectonic plate. It used this ability directly on Godzilla and turned it into a concussive blast to knock him off his feet.
* **Sonic Roar**: MUTO Prime can emit a sonic roar powerful enough to shatter Godzilla's dorsal plates. MUTO Prime's eyes glow bright red before using this attack. The Sonic Roar causes seismic instability, and was evolved to specifically resonate and shatter Godzilla's dorsal plates through 'harmonic resonance".
