Top 10 Most Interesting Kaiju Monsters
These monsters are generally known as Kaiju in Japan. Kaiju monsters are usually depicted attacking major cities and battling either the military or other monsters. They have been an important part of Japanese pop culture for decades.
These Giants are some of the most interesting Kaiju monsters that we would love to see in MonsterVerse.
Let’s take a look at the list of the top 10 most interesting kaiju monsters in this article.
1. Godzilla
Godzilla is a prehistoric reptilian monster awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation. With the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Lucky Dragon 5 incident still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons.
2. King Ghidorah
King Ghidorah is a fictional monster, or kaiju, which first appeared in Ishirō Honda’s 1964 film Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. The character was initially created by Tomoyuki Tanaka, Eiji Tsuburaya, and Shinichi Sekizawa as an homage to the eight-headed mythological Japanese dragon Yamata no Orochi. Although the name of the character is officially trademarked by Toho as “King Ghidorah”, the character was originally referred to as Ghidorah or Ghidrah in some English markets.
3. Rodan
Rodan is a fictional monster, or kaiju, which first appeared as the title character in Ishirō Honda’s 1956 film Rodan, produced and distributed by Toho. Following its debut standalone appearance, Rodan went on to be featured in numerous entries in the Godzilla franchise, including Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, Invasion of Astro-Monster, Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, and Godzilla: Final Wars, as well as in the Legendary Pictures-produced film Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
4. Mothra
Mothra is one of the most popular and fascinating kaiju monsters of all time. She isn’t known for her fighting. She is a colossal sentient caterpillar or imago moth. Also, she is mostly portrayed as a heroic character. She might get a reasonable amount of attention in MonterVerse to attract the female demographic. If we say that she could even get her standalone movie in the future, it wouldn’t be wrong. Additionally, she is worshiped as a goddess by the natives of Infant Island.
5. Gigan
Gigan is a kaiju from Toho’s Godzilla franchise who first appeared in Godzilla vs. Gigan. Gigan is a space monster resembling a species of reptile who was turned into a cyborg by the Nebulans. Gigan sports a huge buzzsaw in its frontal abdominal region and large metallic hooks for hands.
6. Mechagodzilla
Mechagodzilla is a fictional mecha character that first appeared in the 1974 film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. In its debut appearance, Mechagodzilla is depicted as an extraterrestrial villain that confronts Godzilla. In subsequent iterations, Mechagodzilla is usually depicted as a weapon designed or made by man to defend Japan from Godzilla. In all incarnations, the character is portrayed as a robotic doppelgänger with a vast array of weaponry, and along with King Ghidorah, is commonly considered to be an archenemy of Godzilla.
7. Hedorah
Hedorah also known as the Smog Monster, is a kaiju monster who first appeared in Toho’s 1971 film Godzilla vs. Hedorah. The huge monster was named for Hedoro the Japanese word for sludge, slime, vomit, or chemical ooze.
8. Destoroyah
This principal baddie was born from the very weapon that killed Godzilla in the original film, the Oxygen Destroyer. This menacing being starts out small but soon morphs into one of Godzilla’s most fearsome and malevolent foes.
Destoroyah could handle some of Godzilla’s attacks that would obliterate lesser foes, plus his regenerative capabilities and vicious nature made him terrifying in a pit fight. He nearly killed Godzilla outright – one of the few Kaiju to manage it.
9. King Caesar
King Caesar’s design is mostly inspired by a Chinese Guardian Lion that can be found in Buddhist traditions. He is shown as an anthropomorphic giant Lion, who protects his village from rampaging dragons. King Caesar is quite an interesting character. And also, he will make a great Godzilla villain. He can also appear as a good guy in MonsterVerse, which wouldn’t be surprising for us as he has all the characteristics to become a human ally.
10. Megalon
Megalon is a kaiju who first appeared in Toho’s 1973 film Godzilla vs. Megalon, his only film appearance to date.
Megalon is a super cool insect kaiju that resides in the underground kingdom of Seatopia, which he protects from outside threats
