Summary
One of the most crucial element to the success of Toho ’s originalGodzillafranchise was the colorful array of kaiju that the King of Monsters squared off against , but some of them had their massive potential wasted in one - off appearance . Ever since his first fight against Anguirus inGodzilla Raids Again , Big G ’s moving-picture show have typically ended with him jar with another giant , or in some cases multiple monsters with some of his accompaniment . Anguirus appear in several classical Toho movie and was finally established as one of Godzilla ’s most fast allies . Other friends and enemies were not afforded a follow - up , even though many should have been .
Many fan - favorite kaiju were never given a 2nd look by Toho , despite interesting backstories , powers and abilities , and gamy - timber creature designs . With more titans coming toLegendary ’s Monsterverse timeline , these monsters all have a chance at a new life in upcoming projects likeApple TV+ ’s Godzilla TV showand theGodzilla vs. Kongsequel . Modern special effect and chronicle - telling can give some of Toho ’s biggest wasted opportunities a right shot at redemption . Seeing some of these monsters face off with Legendary ’s Godzilla would be an exciting proposition for hypothesis of both the current movies and the Toho classics .
9Manda
The sea dragon Manda made his first appearing inAtragon , a Toho kaiju picture that did not need Godzilla . He crossed over into Godzilla ’s man in 1968’sDestroy All Monstersas one of the monsters who attacked the satellite ’s major cities while under the ascendence of the foreign wash known as the Kilaaks . While his appearance has varied , Manda typically look as a traditional Oriental flying dragon , with a long snake - like torso , two long barbels on his face , and saddle horn and spikes adorning his head . Manda does not own any over-the-top ability , but he does have the constrict abilities of a Snake River and a condemnable bite .
Godzilla x Kong : The New Empire did its part to grow Legendary ’s Monsterverse , which is brimming with Titans across all its movies and show .
Given his similarities to the traditional dragons observe in China and other part of Southeast Asia , Manda ’s introduction in the Monsterverse would be easy explainable as a guardian deity , and a benevolent Titan . He is in desperate need of a blueprint update though ; Manda could be so much more flowery and beautiful than he has been presented in Toho ’s movies . return the update to conversant monsters like Mothra and Rodan that would in all likelihood be a middle point of Manda ’s introduction to the narrative .
8Varan
Despite only making one venial appearance in a Godzilla movie ( once againDestroy All Monsters ) , Varan has win a bit of a rage following among kaiju fans due to his interesting design and glide power . Varan was wasted in his one appearance alongside Godzilla , as he was just a bystander in Godzilla ’s showdown with King Ghidorah , just as Manda was . Varan was involved in the development of several other cancel or redeveloped Toho Godzilla movies , including a asterisk role inThe issue of King Ghidorah , which finally becameGodzilla vs. Giganand saw Varan supplant by Anguirus .
In the Monsterverse , Varan would probably operate as a benevolent kaiju due to his lack of powers , which would not allow him to act out against humanity under Godzilla ’s watch . With that say , one of the biggest misses on Toho ’s part when it comes to Varan is that he was never give the opportunity to fight another monster . As a Titan in the Monsterverse , Varan could in the end see some natural process , even if it was n’t against the mighty Godzilla himself .
7Titanosaurus
The aquatic Titanosaurus stole the show in 1975’sTerror of Mechagodzillawith one of the truly unique roars in the Toho Godzilla movie . Originally a passive sea - dwelling animate being , Titanosaurus was place under the ascendance of the ape - like Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens and used in a coordinate attack with their update version of Mechagodzilla . Godzilla defeats the twosome thanks to some supporter from INTERPOL , who deduced that a sonic flak could break Titanosaurus , and he get an atomic breathing place clap to the chest before falling back into the ocean
Technically , the " tangible " Titanosaurus has never been learn on celluloid . During his intact appearing inTerror of Mechagodzillahe was under exotic mind ascendance , and therefore not do as himself . In the Monsterverse , his highly cool bellowing and plan , which heavily feature fins across his body and shining red hide , could get a right update while also throw Titanosaurus the peaceful existence he was denied by Toho . As another of the benevolent Titans that roam the ocean , Titanosaurus would be a welcome summation to the expanding Monsterverse .
6Megalon
Megalon has an excellent over - the - top creature design , skill set , and background story … all of which was wasted in the extremist - sillyGodzilla vs. Megalon . Megalon is the guardian deity of the underground kingdom of Seatopia , and he was unleash to the Earth’s surface as Seatopia ’s solution to the atomic tests that had damaged their home . Megalon has one of the more unique sets of powers among the Toho kaiju , as he is capable of producing a laser beam from the French horn on his heading ( very similar in appearance to King Ghidorah ’s yellow beams ) , dissipate geothermic napalm bullets out of his sass and bop / gouging opponents with his monumental drill - alike arms .
The Monsterverse could restore the lordliness that Megalon was deny by Toho . As was vulgar in the latter half of Toho ’s Showa Era , Godzilla movies were mostly aimed at children and were therefore more or less silly . Megalon is portrayed as a dim and almost infantile monster with very footling case-by-case scrap attainment . He can subdue Godzilla with the helper of Gigan , but Megalon lose cursorily and embarrassingly once Gigan is chased off . As a subterraneous god , Megalon would be a great fit in the Monsterverse ’s Hollow Earth and could make an excellent adversary for Kong , who currently reigns over the Hollow Earth .
5Jet Jaguar
Another dupe ofGodzilla vs. Megalon ’s giddiness , Jet Jaguar is in desperate want of a second chance . As a true cult favourite of kaiju fans , Jet Jaguar ’s legacy has continued despite that being the only Godzilla film he was ever featured in . The size - shifting robot is a benevolent defender to his core , as he continues to help Godzilla and represent humanity even after he becomes ego - cognizant . His skill solidifying is for the most part in hand - to - hand combat , as he does n’t possess any beams or laser to shoot , but his design is iconic .
While inGodzilla vs. MegalonJet Jaguar was contrive by a alone scientist , Jet Jaguar would be a great pick as a robot under the control of Monarch . act as the inverse of the deadly and counter Mechagodzilla , Jet Jaguar could and should be an friend of Godzilla and a defender of human beings , called in to quell other indocile Titans and act as a safeguard in lawsuit Godzilla ever move around bad – which has fall out several times in his history . Jet Jaguar could even be introduce as the first Jaeger if a Monsterverse andPacific Rimcrossover ever does do to pass .
4Biollante
One of the times Godzilla exit speculative was in the first flick of the Heisei Series , Godzilla vs. Biollante . His opponent was Biollante , a works - based kaiju create from gene splicing Godzilla ’s cells into a rose , which have an accelerated mutation . to begin with appear as a massive bloom - like beast , Biollante return by and by in the movie with one of Toho ’s greatest creature designs ever to combat Godzilla a 2d time . Biollante essentially battle Godzilla to a draw , with Big GB give way from exhaustion while Biollante splits into spores and rises into the sky , technically still alive in spore form .
A creature design as cool as the monumental , tentacled , red - bellied version of Biollante should have never been limited to one major appearance . The Monsterverse could trim away the unneeded parts of Biollante ’s origin and simply introduce her as one of Earth ’s guardian Titans . Given that the entirety of the conflict between humans and Titans is ground upon the Titans ' end of correspondence on the planet and man ’s taste for put down it , Biollante is a instinctive paroxysm in the Monsterverseto act on the satellite ’s behalf , whether in the Hollow Earth or on the open somewhere .
3Orga
Orga unwisely tried to engulf Godzilla whole , which went as expected as soon as Godzilla activate his " atomic pulse " fire . The Monsterverse can move out some of the more perplexing element of Orga ’s origin but leave in his walloping stature , massive claws , and regenerative abilities , which would make for a unequalled and difficult - to - defeat opponent for Godzilla as long as he does n’t taste to swallow boastful gram again .
2Battra
Godzilla has battled mass of his doppelgängers like Mechagodzilla and SpaceGodzilla , but what about a glowering version of Mothra ? Featured in 1992’sGodzilla vs. Mothra , the kaiju known as Battra was created by the Earth itself to support the major planet from the clime - changing capabilities of an ancient civilization . That led to him assail all of humanity , believing them to be the real problem with the satellite , ending with his defeat at Mothra ’s hands . Battra was eventually reawakened and ultimately teamed up with Mothra to shoot down the malevolent Godzilla , although he did go in the battle .
After seeing the somewhat controversial but very cool changes that the Legendary Monsterverse made to Mothra ’s designing , a dark Mothra kaiju would have to be awing . Battra ’s backstory aligns with the Titans ' overall purpose on Earth , and an exploration into his contention with Mothra – and humanity – could make for an entertaining story for the Monsterverse . As was the type with most of these monsters , Battra should have been used on more than one affair by Toho as pit to swear out up Mothra , Ghidorah , and Mechagodzilla time and again .
1King Caesar
Undoubtedly one of the coolest monster in the Showa Era , King Caesar is another ancient guardian deity who assist Godzilla in kaiju scrap . King Caesar ’s invention is found off of the Okinawanshisa , a hot dog - lion hybrid creature that is said to ward off immorality . The radical - gymnastic kaiju first fought alongside Godzilla against Mechagodzilla in the golem ’s first - ever appearance , 1974’sGodzilla vs. Mechagodzilla . In plus to possessing prodigious strength and speed , King Caesar can bewitch the DOE beam from other kaiju in one centre and kindle them out the other , a utile onrush against the radio beam - give notice Mechagodzilla .
King Caesar also makes a small-scale visual aspect inGodzilla : Final Warsunder alien control , but he is quickly kill by Godzilla himself . In both appearances , King Caesar is given limited screentime and very little to do outside to absorb punishment . TheMonsterverse could recognize King Caesar ’s possibility as another challenger for the function of Alpha Titan . Much like how Kong uses his intelligence to combat Godzilla ’s strength and nuclear breath , King Caesar ’s speed and power to redirect energy could be the winder to taking the Titan throne for himself in futureGodzillafranchise films .
