Godzilla

Godzilla is a Titan descended from Dagon and overall one of the 5 main protagonists of the Fantasy Adventure Teams franchise. He serves as one of the tritagonists of the kion’s adventures series. He is the current alpha of the Titans and one of the main protagonists of the MonsterVerse, and head of the Leader’s council. He is also one of the mentors of Shanezilla, who is destined to succeed Godzilla as the next king of the Titans. He is also the figurehead of the Leader’s Council.

## Personality

Monarch classifies Godzilla’s behavior as that of a "protector," along with fellow Titans Mothra, Kong, Behemoth, and Methuselah, calling him an "ancient guardian of the natural world." While Monarch initially considered Godzilla to be a threat, it now considers him the potential greatest defender of the planet, as he emerges to battle any aggressors which threaten the balance of nature. Whenever Godzilla is not enraged and in combat, Monarch describes him as "slow, graceful, inquisitive even."

In Legendary Pictures' *Godzilla*, Godzilla's behavior seems to be that of a territorial animal. Ishiro Serizawa theorizes Godzilla is the driving force to restore balance to nature whenever that balance is disrupted, suggesting that he essentially considers the entire Earth to be his territory. However, unlike previous incarnations, he doesn't blatantly attack or plow through ships at sea simply because they are there. In fact, with larger ships like aircraft carriers, he simply dives down under them. Even when he is attacked by the military, he doesn't noticeably react or fight back and simply continues to hunt the MUTOs, even when being followed by four naval ships in close proximity. He also does not seem to intentionally cause destruction. Even when he destroys the Golden Gate Bridge, it does not appear to be intentional, but rather just a reaction from being hit in the gills by missile fire. He shows little interest in humans and instead focuses his attention entirely on the MUTOs. After defeating both MUTOs, he leaves humanity alone without any more conflict.

In *Godzilla: King of the Monsters*, Godzilla continues to behave in this manner. He maintains a patrol route around his territory and uses his glowing dorsal plates to perform an intimidation display. While Monarch initially assumed Godzilla was demonstrating aggression toward them, they later realized he was reacting to the presence of the ORCA before pursuing it to Antarctica. Godzilla recognizes the threat posed by his ancient nemesis King Ghidorah and goes out of his way to seek out and try to defeat the monster on three occasions. Godzilla recognizes Mothra as his ally and communicates with her through sonar. He demonstrates inquisitiveness toward humans, first when he sees Serizawa approaching him and placing his hand on his face, and later when he resurfaces and leans forward to inspect Mark Russell. Godzilla never demonstrates outright hostility toward humans during this time and allows himself to be surrounded by a full military escort when he heads to Boston to confront Ghidorah. As the new alpha of the Titans, Godzilla is said to actively steer other Titans away from human cities and prevent any further destruction.

In *Godzilla Dominion* and *Godzilla vs. Kong*, Godzilla is shown to be considerably more aggressive than before, attacking human structures and military units with surprising brutality. However, these attacks only targeted the destructive group of humans that had poisoned and captured Na Kika, Apex Cyberneticsduring their construction of Mechagodzilla, and the naval fleet which opened fire on him as he arrived to confront Kong in the Tasman Sea. Godzilla otherwise continues to demonstrate a preference to avoid unnecessary conflict, as shown when he spares the remaining fleet when they shut off their power and when he refrains from outright killing Kong after brutalizing him during their rematch in Hong Kong. According to *Godzilla vs. Kong* director Adam Wingard, Godzilla was merely toying with Kong during their first battle and a portion of their second, even smiling and laughing at Kong after hitting him with his atomic breath, and only taking him seriously after receiving a charged blow from his battle axe. Following this, the full extent of Godzilla's feral nature was shown as he went completely animalistic on Kong and violently incapacitated the Titan to bring an end to their fight. However, Kong earned his respect by not surrendering. During their battle with MechaGodzilla, Godzilla shows extreme remorse for his actions when he sees Twilight Sparkle’s supposed death, causing him to wish he never became leader of the Titans. After the two Titans defeat Mechagodzilla with the support of the Adventure Teams, Godzilla decides to leave Kong alone without any additional conflict, finally declaring a truce and ending their ancient war. When Shanezilla redeems, Godzilla happily accepts him as his apprentice and future successor. Godzilla also shows some humor during the Hollow Earth celebration, when he gives Kong the “Too slow” variation.

Godzilla has extremely strong feelings about balance, and it can unfortunately lead to excessive decisions. During the events of *Maleficent: The Mistress of Evil*, Queen Ingrith creates a red iron dust that includes Ghidorah’s ground-up scales as a key ingredient, which also has the ability to kill any magic creature that it touches. The fact that Ghidorah’s remains were used, and how Ingrith’s schemes would ultimately affect the natural balance in negative ways, Godzilla went completely berserk. In the end, Godzilla declares Ingrith’s punishment to be 5 years in Kryptarium Prison, as a start.

## Abilities

### Atomic breathbreath

Godzilla uses his atomic breath to drill
The MonsterVerse Godzilla retains the character's trademark atomic breath or **Heat Ray Breath**. While he seems to use it as a weapon of last resort rather than as his primary weapon in his battle with the MUTOs, he uses it more frequently in his battles with King Ghidorah and Kong. When Godzilla charges his atomic breath, he draws energy from his bio-nuclear circulatory system which activates when he is threatened. This triggers a neutron flux that manifests as a blue glow which slowly moves from the tip of his tail up his protective dorsal fins, which serve as energy reserves for his atomic power. Finally, the energy reaches the nucleosynthetic glands in Godzilla's throat chambers, where it explodes into a concentrated wave of atomic energy. Godzilla then spews this atomic energy from his mouth as a blue blast of flame which is capable of destroying one Shinomura, wounding and knocking down the female MUTO, pushing back and burning King Ghidorah, and drilling a hole straight into the Hollow Earth. In addition to serving as a weapon, Godzilla's atomic breath can be utilized as a "dominance display," while he also uses the bluish glow which emanates from his dorsal fins as an intimidation display. When he fires his breath directly into the female MUTO's mouth, it decapitates and kills her almost instantly. After their battle in Boston, Godzilla ultimately incinerates Ghidorah's last head by holding it in his mouth while firing his atomic breath. In *Godzilla vs. Kong*, Godzilla used his atomic breath to dig through the surface of the Earth in Hong Kong straight toward the Hollow Earth in seemingly a couple of minutes. When Godzilla charged his atomic breath to drill into the Hollow Earth, his body displayed more bioluminescence than usual. It appears that once Godzilla has fully charged his atomic breath, he can fire it multiple times, the best example being when he fires it multiple times in rapid succession during his battle with Kong in Hong Kong. Kong's axe, which seemingly used the dorsal plate of another member of Godzilla's species as its blade, was able to absorb Godzilla's atomic breath and release its stored energy upon impact. Godzilla's ray was also overpowered by Mechagodzilla's Proton Scream in a beam lock when the mecha amplified its beam. *Godzilla vs. Kong: The Official Movie Novelization* suggests that the atomic breath Godzilla used in the beam lock with Mechagodzilla was the same one he used to drill into the Hollow Earth. According to the movie's opening credits, his atomic breath has an energy yield of 3.15 x 10^14 joules or 315 terajoules, which is equal to 75.3 kilotons of TNT, and a minimum temperature of 20,000 degrees Celsius (hotter than the sun's surface) meaning his atomic breath could be more powerful than that. According to *New Century Special Effects Movie Guide*, Godzilla's atomic breath is composed of Cherenkov radiation. The novelization of *Godzilla vs. Kong* states that his atomic breath contains energy from Quantum States.

### Symbiosis

Godzilla possesses a symbiotic bond with Mothra. The two are able to communicate using sonar over great distances, with Mothra using this ability to locate Godzilla and lead Monarch to his location to revive him. After King Ghidorah wounds Mothra with his gravity beams, her life energy rains down into the wounded Godzilla, imbuing him with increased power that causes his skin to crack and glow orange while emitting incredibly intense heat. In this empowered state, known as Burning Godzilla, Godzilla can utilize his powerful incendiary nuclear pulse, which manifests in the shape of Mothra's wings and makes the sound of her roar.
