A lot more background information is being added, something this site has needed now that the days of "TODAY'S UPDATE IS YET ANOTHER TOON/POWER LEVEL CHART LOL". The new bios have revealed a lot of info, like the history behind the strange "Moguera 2" name in Godzilla: Save the Earth, Rodan raising the DAM Baragon, and the Giant Condor/Giant Eagle split.
It seems fairly equally contrived, in my opinion, to post something made up for an obscure book, that isn't relevant to anything, than to make something up on one's own.

All that said, would it really be so bad if the staff stopped finding increasingly contrived, forced ways to keep a 'daily' update schedule?
I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

Ahh, now there's an idea. Still getting a handle on the coding layout for the site, and I've been looking for areas other than monster bios that need layout updates. Totally overlooked the Cast/Crew section, I'll definitely keep tabs on those.

Just noticed these in the Shin Godzilla bio -
An ancient marine mammal suddenly found itself surrounded by radioactive material.
The creature proceeded to rapidly mutate into an organism that could withstand.
Withstand what? Might be more goofs...

Mmmm - I think it's okay.

Given the context of the post behind it, he adapted to withstand, in regards to the previous sentence. It's a little jumbled around but you get it XD

Then again, adding an "it" at the end isn't that far outside the realm either - lol.

Is there any particular reason why the Monster Bios use "tons" instead of "metric tons"? I'm pretty sure Japan uses the metric system and it'd make things less confusing for anyone from the US viewing them.
