![]() Kamacuras Appearances: Son of Godzilla, Godzilla: Final Wars We know that the folks at Legendary probably think they can just use any design they want for these new kaiju/Titans, but they’d be better off not making almost exact replicas of existing characters.Ģ7. “Giant spider” is perfectly acceptable as far as a design aesthetic is concerned, but this many-legged new kaiju/Titan introduced in King of the Monsters suffers for the fact that we never really get a good look at it in action, and also because it’s a very similar design to Kumonga, another spider kaiju appearing more prominently on this list. Scylla Appearances: Godzilla: King of the Monsters I imagine “giant lobster” probably sounded better on paper than it did it execution.Ģ8. Ebirah, Horror of the Deep is one of the cheapest-feeling Godzilla flicks, and you definitely get a cheap feeling from Ebirah, whose “big moment” is batting away a rock kicked at him by Godzilla. And that’s it! He’s one of the least interesting kaiju in the entire series because he’s basically incapable of doing anything compelling besides standing there in waist-deep water. In fact, he’s probably the easiest kaiju on the list to sum up in a few words: Ebirah is a big lobster. the Sea Monster)Įbirah, unlike Gabara, is not difficult to describe. Ebirah Appearances: Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (aka Godzilla vs. Everything about Gabara is pretty much terrible.Ģ9. His design is goofy and confusing: He’s like some sort of cat-faced, wart-covered crocodile man? He spends most of his time bullying Godzilla’s annoying latchkey son, Minilla, and then gets his ass kicked by Godzilla at the film’s conclusion. ![]() Godzilla’s Revenge is probably the worst Japanese Godzilla movie, and Gabara is doubtless the worst monster to serve as the primary antagonist of a Godzilla film. Gabara Appearances: Godzilla’s Revenge (aka All Monsters Attack) He appears in Destroy All Monsters and gets in a bit of cool destruction during the city-smashing scenes, but ends up watching the final battle from the sidelines with Varan.ģ0. Reflecting traditional Japanese dragons and sea serpents, Manda is sort of like a huge snake with a few tiny legs. Manda Appearances: Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla: Final Wars (stock footage)įor all intents and purposes, Manda is in the exact same boat as Varan, except he has a slightly cooler design. Even in the final battle against Ghidorah, he simply stands by and watches from the sidelines. In Destroy All Monsters he’s one of the denizens of Monster Island that the invading aliens mind-control into attacking earthly cities. However, he really only appears in cameos in the Godzilla films. Varan is sort of a cool design, I suppose-he’s like a big iguana with fangs and webbed limbs that allow him to glide. Varan Appearances: Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla: Final Wars (stock footage) Of the new monsters debuting in 2019’s KOTM, he has the least unique design, so we’ll need to see more of him if his stock is going to rise.ģ2. We never even get a very clear shot of what he looks like, beyond being squat, quadrupedal and spiky-Anguirus type characteristics, if you will. Unfortunately, we know next to nothing about him, other than the fact that he erupts up from under a small German town, and is presumably on the ancient side, given his biblical name. Methuselah is one of the few newly appeared “Titans,” as the kaiju have been dubbed, who made his on-screen debut in 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Most of these have names that are either based on Biblical entities/demons/cryptozoological animals, so we’ll have to wait and see if any are included in future Godzilla installments. ![]() As a result, we have some basic names of a few new kaiju in the Godzilla universe, but have never actually laid eyes on them. Kong now on HBO Max, there’s no better time to familiarize yourself with the rogues gallery, should any of them reappear in the future.Ģ019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters clouded the waters a bit by implying the existence of numerous new kaiju, but not actually showing them off. Instead, this list celebrates all of Godzilla’s many enemies and allies, from the most obscure and ineffectual to his greatest arch-nemeses. Godzilla universe, “Big G” himself is going to be at #1. Therefore, it should go without saying that in any kind of list ranking the monsters of the Toho Co. Every monster on this ranked list has had his features rearranged by Godzilla at least once unless he’s purely been an ally or blood relative. Sure he’s died once or twice along the way, but that’s fairly insignificant compared to the mountains of giant kaiju corpses he’s left in his wake. That’s pretty much his MO: Enter, wreck stuff, break monsters in half, exit stage left. In the last 60 years, Godzilla has messed up a lot of giant monsters. ![]()
