MonsterVerse Beastiary

Post by Dawsbfiremind »

Now that the MonsterVerse is revving up and introducing new and returning monsters, I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of them. In this thread, the (best available) picture and name of a monster will be added as they're confirmed, and picture additions/discussions on their lore and biology can ensue (making this, as the name suggests, a beastiary).
One rule: notable monsters and their species are considered separate entries (ie- Ramarak and Skullcrawler will be separate), and until we another individual of a notable monster's species (ie-Godzilla), said species (Godzillasaur?) won't be included.
Mod Edit: Formatted and organized list.

You forgot the Shinomura and that spider is obviously not Kumonga... *cringes*
Also there's no Godzillasaur, Godzilla 2014 always looked like that, he didn't mutate from anything

All we know so far is "his" name from the copyright website (where it says Legendary has the rights to "Ramarak the skull crawler").

Yeah, it looked good until they showed its face. I thought I was looking at Ebirah for a second.

There's also a giant Nautilus from the Awakening that the Shinomura eats, and a smaller Kong too

Also, don't call Ramarak a "he" without proof, she's obviously big mama :P

That's why I used quotation marks on "he".
Also, can't find a nautilus picture. Anyone got a scan?

Skull Island sure did add a ton of new kaiju to the MonsterVerse.

Hopefully G2 can bring us some more new kaiju.

Now that I look, that critter up there I labeled "spider" might not BE the spider. Take a look at the toy's face (Monster Zero's pictures from the merch thread) and compare:

Should the comics really be included in the film-based universe? i know there's supposedly continuity between the two, but I'm not sure I'd be surprised if something in the comic doesn't end up actually existing. It's a totally different medium by a totally different creative team.

Considering the comic completely flies in the face of the film blatantly saying that Godzilla was drawn to the surface by the U.S.S. Nautilus by having Godzilla running loose on the surface for years beforehand chasing around another giant monster, I'm suprised that people are still entertaining it as canon in any sort of capacity.

Like, there's inconsistencies, and then there's just blatant disregard for continuity.

Not sure if this counts but what the hell.

Name: Adam

Different shaped and number of spikes. Possible different breed or individual thing? Subject found in cave. Maybe there's a breed that lived more on land?

If Ghidorah is being saved for GvKK, I would like a new main antagonist monster. Like Rokmutl, I liked that thing

I do want some classics in G2 as well. A mix would be great. Something about seeing Godzilla and Kong teaming up to take on Ghidorah is really fun to imagine.
