MUTO Prime (MonsterVerse)

The **MUTO Prime**, also dubbed **Titanus Jinshin-Mushi** or simply **Jinshin-Mushi**, was a giant parasitic daikaiju that appears in the 2019 graphic novel, *Godzilla: Aftershock*.

**M.U.T.O. Prime**, also known as **Titanus Jinshin-Mushi** or **Jinshin-Mushi**, is the unseen overarching antagonist of the 2014 MonsterVerse film *Godzilla* and the main antagonist of the 2019 MonsterVerse graphic novel *Godzilla: Aftershock.*

She is the parent subspecies of the two M.U.T.O.s which fought Godzilla in San Francisco back in 2014. M.U.T.O. Prime emerged shortly after their death to draw out Godzilla. Gradually weakening him over the course of several brief encounters, M.U.T.O. Prime aimed to infect him with her parasitic larvae, potentially giving rise to an entire ecosystem of M.U.T.O.s which could wipe out the human race.

Fortunately, through the intervention of Monarch's Dr. Emma Russell, Godzilla was able to triumph over M.U.T.O. Prime in their last encounter and killed her once and for all.

## Name

The ancient Japanese gave her the name "Jinshin-Mushi", or the "Earthquake Beetle" due to her ability to create earthquakes and her insectile appearance. Her official designation is *Titanus Jinshin-Mushi*, and she belongs to the same species as the MUTOs. Monarch names her MUTO Prime due to her being larger and more powerful than the regular MUTOs.

## Design

### Roar

MUTO Prime's Roar is written as "KREEAH".

## Origins

History speaks of it as the "Earthquake Beetle", or the "Dragon Beetle", but one name etched into ancient stone tablets echoes through myth and legend, and we have come to know it as Jinshin-Mushi; an ancient adversary of Godzilla with a rivalry as old as the Earth itself. The myth of Jinshin-Mushi has been largely erased from history. Records of the encounters between the legendary titan Godzilla have been difficult to find, limited to intricate paintings on ancient Phoenician stone tablets. But the more we learn about the mysterious superspecies, our knowledge about the MUTOs we have previously encountered increases. Jinshin-Mushi is an imposing specimen with razor-sharp back spires towering atop a hardened outer shell, making it an unstoppable mountain of a tank as it erupts from the earth. Powerful legs strike the ground like a devastating seismic salvo of cannons heard for miles with each thunderous step, digging into the earth to take a battle-hardened stance on the surface against any Titan aggressor it faces. Mythological studies suggest that Jinshin-Mushi is genetically programmed to find a suitable host to reproduce. Ovipositors guided by glands sensitive to the scent of uranium in Titan blood pierce the hide with the deadly speed and reflex of a scorpion tail, depositing eggs inside the stomach lining of its slain opponent. Once nested within the muscle tissue, the eggs begin the incubation process. They slowly feed on the nuclear-rich hemoglobin in the Titan host's blood, making the beast unable to replenish atomic energy and eventually killing it. The embryos continue to grow within the body in a gestation period spanning centuries, before finally emerging from the cracked ribcage of a fallen giant as a male and female sub-species with a biological imperative to reproduce, creating a breeding force to consume all life on Earth. We call them MUTOs. We theorize that seismic activity is created by Jinshin-Mushi's underground travels, staying localized mostly in Pacific regions, causing supershear earthquakes that can rip through the planet's mantel at unstoppable supersonic speeds. And the fear struck with every major earthquake comes not from what will topple to the ground, but what will raise from beneath it.

― Cryptid Profile

Jinshin-Mushis, more often referred to as MUTO Primes, are matriarchs of the MUTO superspecies, and are the final stage in a female MUTO's lifecycle as theorized by Dr. Emma Russell. The evolutionary purpose of a MUTO Prime is to infect other Titans with its parasitic eggs, which would eventually end up killing the Titan host and spawning the smaller, invasive MUTOs. Godzilla's species, in particular, was common prey for a MUTO Prime, which has driven them to the brink of extinction. Through millions of years of evolution, MUTO Primes evolved various traits to become the perfect matchup for Godzilla's species, becoming almost "custom-built" to counter attacks from the *Gojira*. MUTO Primes target *Titanus Gojira* due to them being the biggest, best hosts for their young. In the year 1100 B.C.E, a MUTO Prime was seen by ancient humans attacking a member of Godzilla's species named Dagon and infecting him with her eggs. This same MUTO Prime resurfaced in the year 2014 shortly after the death of her offspring at the hands of Godzilla, leading to the events of *Godzilla: Aftershock*.

## Personality

MUTO Prime is classified by Monarch 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 or when provoked, 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. MUTO Prime, the greatest of MUTOs, was shown to be much more aggressive and driven than her progeny, as she uses hellbent in turning Godzilla into another of hosts of her parasitic eggs just like she did on his predecessor Dagon. As with other MUTOs, she also cared with the well-being of her brethren, as MUTO Prime emerged as soon as Godzilla killed the MUTO couple which confirmed to be her children, hinting that she also sought revenge over their deaths.

## Appearance

M.U.T.O. Prime is nearly identical in appearance to a regular female, except for several notable differences. She was significantly larger than the regular female, has a hardened outer shell covered with razor-sharp back spires, large clawed forelimbs covered in orange scales, as well as several smaller pairs of forelimbs protruding from her abdomen. Her jaws are more defined, along with larger and sharper mandibles. Prime's exoskeleton is metallic-black in color, and she possesses two red visor-like eyes. Protruding from orifices in her skull are four arrow-shaped ovipositors with an orange bioluminescent hue. Unlike regular females, Prime walks on four legs instead of six, as it appears that some limbs were fused during the process of metamorphosis. The hind limbs are tridactyl, ending in three claws as opposed to the hooves of regular M.U.T.O.s. Though her exact height is never stated, M.U.T.O. Prime was much larger than Dagon and was also 50% heavier than Godzilla.

## History

### *Godzilla: Aftershock*

Around the year 1100 B.C.E., MUTO Prime encounters a member of Godzilla's species (referred to as Dagon by Monarch), and the two Titans engage in a ferocious battle. Almost immediately, she gains the upper hand, beating down Dagon, but not fully killing him. Using her ovipositors, she inserts two eggs into the stomach lining of the wounded Titan, leaving them to feed off of his nuclear-rich blood while he still lives. In the year 2014, MUTO Prime resurfaces and attacks a naval base in Guam, attracted to the payloads of the nuclear submarines stationed there. She lifts a submarine with her mouth and crushes it in her mandibles before Godzilla rises from the ocean to stop her. The two have a brief fight before MUTO Prime retreats, burrowing deep underground. Later, Dr. Emma Russell and her associate, Tarkan, travel to Japan to investigate a massive crater that appeared near a temple. The two are lowered into the depths of the crater and barely escape with their lives after MUTO Prime burrows straight through the tunnel. Shortly afterward, MUTO Prime attacks a Russian submarine in the Barents Sea, splitting it cleanly in half and killing the entire crew. Godzilla appears and rams her away from the sub, but she quickly retreats once again. Meanwhile, Emma Russell travels to Siberia with Tarkan and San Francisco Commission member, Miles Atherton, to investigate yet another crater, presumed to have been created by MUTO Prime. While there, they discover dozens of MUTO egg casings in the remains of a Godzilla. MUTO Prime continues her rampage, this time attacking a nuclear power plant located in Creys-Malville, France. Godzilla arrives to fight her, and charges directly at her before she can escape. MUTO Prime fights back, swiping at Godzilla with her massive forelimbs, causing blood to be drawn. She manages to knock him down and attempts to stick him with her ovipositors, but Godzilla throws her off before she can do so. The two Titans roar at each other before MUTO Prime burrows into the Earth once more. After gaining enough evidence from research, Emma Russell presents her findings to her team in the southern Philippines. First, she reveals that the MUTOs are a weaponized sub-species of MUTO Prime, specially evolved to destroy ecosystems and reshape them for their own needs. Emma also reveals that given enough time to grow and mature, a female MUTO can metamorphose into a MUTO Prime, if need be. Finally, she explains that MUTO Prime had killed multiple Godzillas in her lifetime, as evidenced by egg casings found in Siberia and the Philippines. The team begins to put together a plan to help Godzilla defeat MUTO Prime, and deduce that tricking Prime using sonic pulses would be the best option. Emma and her team travel to Angra Do Heroismo, located in the Azores, to carry out their plan. Utilizing massive speakers, the team blasts sonic pulses to trick MUTO Prime into thinking her eggs have already been implanted in a Titan host. MUTO Prime arrives and realizes she is being tricked. In a rage, she smashes the speakers and causes the Monarch operatives to retreat. Emma realizes that MUTO Prime did not fall for the trick due to the sonic pulses not coming from inside the body of a Titan, as they naturally would. The plan is revised, this time with the pulses to be played from within the depths of a bunker holding nuclear material, located in the Beartooth Mountains, Montana. MUTO Prime travels to the bunker to feed on the nuclear material stored there. As she approaches the bunker, Godzilla arrives and rams her to the ground. She quickly rises to her feet, and the two Titans proceed to violently pummel and wrestle with each other. While fighting, MUTO Prime releases a sonic roar so powerful that it shatters some of Godzilla's dorsal plates. Emma and Tarkan rush into the bunker and activate a device that blares the sonic pulses, which effectively distracts Prime. With the massive parasite distracted, Godzilla grabs and lifts her onto his back before releasing a massive nuclear pulse from his dorsal plates, sending her soaring into the air and causing limbs to break off. MUTO Prime falls from the sky and slams back onto the ground, heavily wounded. Before she can react, Godzilla crushes her head with a devastating stomp, killing her. With his ancient rival finally defeated, Godzilla makes his way back into the ocean, radiating a pure nuclear energy cloud from his back.

### Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization

While walking through Monarch's Castle Bravo base in the Caribbean, Mark Russell spots the corpse of the MUTO Prime that Godzilla had killed being dissected and studied by Monarch scientists.

### *Godzilla Dominion*

The fossilized skull of a MUTO Prime can be seen jutting out the side of an underwater cavern amongst other Titan remains as Godzilla swims towards his old lair.

## Biography

The mother of the two MUTOs that were slain by Godzilla, MUTO Prime emerged in 2014, where she attacked a United States military base in Guam from the underground, following a series of earthquakes that traveled there from Japan. Her assault soon caught Godzilla's attention, who realized his mission to stop the MUTOs is still far from over and engaged her as she feeds on a nuclear submarine just offshore. MUTO Prime, however, punched Godzilla aside before retreating, leading to a cat-and-mouse chase between the two Titans which culminated at Athena II Nuclear Power Plant in France, at which MUTO Prime came close in avenging the deaths of the two MUTOs by nearly infecting Godzilla with her ovipositor. However, Godzilla slashed her in the face before the two roared at each other as their fight ends in a stalemate for a time being. MUTO Prime's emergence caught the attention of Monarch, who then track down the kaiju as they are putting pieces together. Their investigation concludes the fact that the new MUTO is the parent subspecies of regular MUTOs encountered so far as well as the mother of two MUTOs whom Godzilla slain at San Francisco. Dr. Emma Russell, one of Monarch's scientists, proposed to replicate the sonic pulse which was given off by the MUTO eggs, which she deduced signaled to their mother that they were safely implanted inside the host and would pacify her. With MUTO Prime sighted heading to the Azores in Portugal, this plan was set into motion, with powerful loudspeakers emitting the pulse as MUTO Prime burrowed underneath them. However, this had the opposite intended effect, causing MUTO Prime to burst from underground, killing nearly everyone involved in the operation. Against the lack of faith in the government, Emma and Tarkan set up the ORCA prototype to properly replicate the MUTO egg pulse underground in hopes of creating a more desirable effect. As this happens, MUTO Prime arrived at a storage site for decommissioned nuclear submarine power cores with Godzilla hot on her tracks. As the two kaiju clashed once again, Emma and Tarkan activate the signal soon after MUTO Prime shattered Godzilla's dorsal plates, causing her to hesitate just long enough for Godzilla to recover and lift MUTO Prime onto his back and unleashed his nuclear pulse in point-blank range, launching MUTO Prime into the air, severing some of her limbs and sending her crashing back to Earth. As MUTO Prime lay on her back, Godzilla quickly walked over to her and stomps on her head, crushing it and finally killing her.

* **Sonic Roar:** The MUTO Prime was able to release a powerful sonic roar, which was so powerful that the sound waves easily shattered Godzilla's dorsal plates. MUTO Prime's eyes would glow red when she used the sonic roar, similar to how Godzilla's eyes glow blue when he uses atomic breath. The sonic roar causes seismic instability, for it evolved to specifically resonate and shatter Godzilla's dorsal plates through "harmonic resonance".
* **Electromagnetic Pulse:** MUTO Prime can unleash an electromagnetic pulse while striking the ground with her claws, or clapping her claws together.

* **Bio-Terrestrial Nature:** The MUTO Prime possessed tremor-inducing legs, which made her capable of producing massive earthquakes. By slamming the ground with her forelimbs, MUTO Prime could trigger shockwaves that would destabilize nearby fault lines in the Earth. As explained by Dr. Emma Russell in the graphic novel, MUTO Prime triggered these massive earthquakes to lure out members of Godzilla's species into a fight they cannot win. 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. Prime's jaws are evolved for grinding and breaking rocks while digging tunnels.
* **Lava-Like Blood:** MUTO Prime's blood contains lava, which superheats her forelimbs to near transparency.
* **Reproduction:** Being a parasite, the MUTO Prime reproduced by inserting her eggs into the stomach lining of a suitable Titan host through ovipositors guided by traces of uranium in the host's blood. Then, the eggs settle within the muscle tissue and incubate, slowly feeding on the nuclear-rich hemoglobin in the host's blood and eventually killing it by draining its atomic energy. After growing for sometimes up to centuries, two larval MUTOs, a male and female, will hatch and mature before beginning to breed rapidly with other MUTOs, creating a "breeding force" capable of quickly overwhelming life on Earth. It is stated by Dr. Emma Russell that any female MUTO can eventually metamorphose into a MUTO Prime if one does not exist or if circumstances demand it.

## Trivia

* The rivalry between Godzilla and MUTO Prime echoes the rivalry between Kong and the Skullcrawlers. Like the latter two, Godzilla's species has been rendered nearly extinct by the MUTO Prime, and like Kong, Godzilla was forced to fight and kill the MUTO Prime to ensure his continued survival.
* In *Godzilla Dominion*, an early design of MUTO Prime can be found in the Titan graveyard in the form of a deceased squid-like Titan.
* According to Arvid Nelson, the author of *Godzilla: Aftershock* and *Skull Island: The Birth of Kong*, only with Monarch's help can the current Godzilla beat MUTO Prime, indicating MUTO Prime was powerful enough to rival Godzilla without assistance.
	+ When asked about how her abilities would fare with Kong, Nelson and illustrator Drew Edward Johnson provided ambivalent answers: Nelson theorized that Kong's strength could overpower MUTO Prime with blunt force trauma, while Johnson believed that Prime's screech and seismic abilities would afford an advantage against her opponent's strength. Albeit, both have acknowledged that either one's understanding of the Titans could be taken than the other.
