**MUTO Prime** (ムートー・プライム *Mūtō Puraimu*) is a Titan who appeared in *Godzilla: Lord of the Galaxy*.

MUTO Prime is a deadly Titan and the Alpha of MUTOs, who fought Godzilla in 2014. She fought one of the members of the Godzilla species, Dagon, with their fight being interrupted by an Oxygen Destroyer.

## Name

MUTO Prime's name refers to it being the progenitor of the two MUTOs which fought Godzilla in 2014. In the MonsterVerse continuity of Godzilla, ancient mythology speaks of the creature as the **Earthquake Beetle** or **Dragon Beetle**, while Monarch gives it the official Titan classification ***Titanus Jinshin-Mushi***, or simply **Jinshin-Mushi**. This name is derived from the *Jishin Mushi* (地震虫 *lit.* Earthquake Bug')**,** or Earthquake Beetle, of Japanese mythology, said to carry the Japanese islands on its back and create earthquakes with its movement.

Despite the connection, MUTO Prime's name, perhaps erroneously, adds an additional 'n' to *jishin*, creating "Jinshin." The same name is also used for the regular MUTOs.

## Design

MUTO Prime has the same basic body shape and appearance as its offspring. However, it is considerably larger and possesses a hardened outer shell along with razor-sharp back spines. MUTO Prime's legs are gigantic and muscular, as are its forelimbs which it uses to knuckle-walk and possessing mantis-like claws. MUTO Prime's skin is primarily smooth and brown, save for its claws which are mostly covered in red scales.

## Origins

If a Female MUTO won't find a Mate, she may evolve into MUTO Prime.

## History

1,500 years ago Dagon, Rozan and Zmey Gorynych fought MUTO Prime in the Antarctic, with their battle causing an Earthquake. The monsters fell into a massive crack and were sealed in ice for more than a millennia, with Dagon being the only one left.

### *Episode Two - The Impostor*

In 1990, MUTO Prime fought Dagon. Dagon saved his son, but before he could defeat Muto Prime, EDF sent an Oxygen Destroyer missile. The King escaped and survived, with the Alpha of the MUTO species being presumably killed by the super weapon.

She was recovering for the next 24 years, while her descendants were taking over the Earth ecosystem. In 2014, she appeared once again, facing her final foe - Godzilla.

## Abilities

### Echolocation

MUTO Prime is capable of using echolocation to communicate with other MUTOs. She used this ability to track juvenile Godzilla in the cave.

### Sonic Roar

MUTO Prime possesses a sonic roar. However, unlike the MonsterVerse MUTO Prime, where its roar is more of dispersing field, MUTO Prime's sonic roar looks more beam-like. The Sonic Roar is much more powerful than the one Anguirus posseses, as it can crush bones of smaller Titans and even shatter Godzilla's dorsal plates. MUTO Prime used this ability against Dagon, destroying his eardrums temporarily.

### Electromagnetic pulse

MUTO Prime can unleash an electromagnetic pulse while striking the ground with her claws, or clapping her claws together. This ability has the same effect as EMP that MUTOs and Fake Godzilla possesses, but it has larger range.

### Shockwave Blast

By slamming the ground with her forearms, MUTO Prime can create powerful shockwaves. She used this ability to destroy the giant stone pillar, and tried to knock Dagon out of his feet. The strongest shockwaves unleashed by MUTO Prime can be compared to a great earthquake.

### Physical Strength

MUTO Prime possesses immense physical strength, rivaling the Godzilla species' strength.

### Durability

MUTO Prime can take quite a lot of damage, while also receiving a resistance to high temperatures and even Godzilla's Atomic breath.

### Burrowing

Prime was able to claw and tunnel through the Earth's crust with ease, with her underground travels often being mistaken as natural seismic activity.

### Asexual Reproduction

Unlike the rest of the species, MUTO Prime doesn't require a male to reproduce. If the enemy was defeated in a battle, she uses her tentacle-like ovipositors to stab their chest and lay eggs inside the victim. After hatching, the larvaes begin to devour the host alive. While MUTO Prime could impregnate any Titan, she prefers the radioactive ones, as the radiation is needed for MUTOs to survive.

### Weaknesses

Although MUTO Prime's shell is incredible resistant to physical attacks, her flesh is much softer and can be damaged easily. Juvenile Godzilla couldn't damage her exoskeleton with his atomic breath, but he easily burned her ovipositors. MUTO Prime also demonstrates considerable difficulty when fighting in the water, as she was overpowered and dragged around by Dagon, and would most likely have been defeated by him if it wasn't for the Oxygen Destroyer.

## Trivia

* MUTO Prime's roars are a mixed sounds of Mega Kaiju from Pacific Rim series and regular MUTOs sounds.
* Unlike MonsterVerse MUTO Prime, who could swim underwater quite efficiently, LordVerse MUTO Prime seems to have difficulty doing so.
