Monarch

"*Beyond logic lies truth.*"
―Monarch's motto, 1994
**Monarch** is a scientific cryptozoological former secret organization created to study Titans (former term - Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms; MUTOs). Monarch was established in the wake of the 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in 1946, which awoke two titans from hibernation: the titan who would be later known as Godzilla and Shinomura.

Monarch was an active participant in the 1954 military operation Lucky Dragon, in which the US military planned to lure the two titans with a nuclear bomb at the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The nuke was successful in killing Shinomura but Godzilla's fate was left unknown as he was never seen after the bomb was detonated.

## Outposts

Monarch built outposts around the world to study the titans that were located there. Each outpost has a fail-safe kill switch in case the respective titan in that outpost were to try to escape. So far, the fail-safes only managed to kill Baphomet and Vishnu.

## Hollow Earth Entry Stations

Monarch established Hollow Earth Entry Stations in a select few locations where Hollow Earth portals were found to try and enter the Hollow Earth. There was one at Skull Island established near Outpost 33, but it was sealed off by Kong to keep Godzilla from trying to escape during their fight on the island.

* Entry Station 01: Antarctica
* Entry Station 02: Gates of Hell, Darvaza, Turkmenistan
