Monsters in Godzilla: The Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These are the monsters and other such creatures found in the Fox Kids cartoon series Godzilla: The Series.
[edit] Godzilla
Godzilla is the only surviving offspring of the Original Godzilla that arrived in New York to nest. After the original monster was killed, Nick Tatopoulos convinced the military to conduct a search for any eggs that may have survived. Nick went along to help, and ended up falling into a small cavern containing a number of broken eggs – and a single intact one. Moments after he fell, the egg hatched, and he was soaked in its contents. The infant didn't attack, however, and was actually scared off, quickly burrowing to safety.
While Major Hicks wanted the infant done away with, Nick wished to capture and study it. With the help of Dr. Mendel Craven, Elsie Chapman, and Randy Hernandez, Nick set up a trap for the infant. However, the trap was designed for something the size of a human; the hatchling had gone through a rapid growth spurt and was now 35 feet tall. He quickly thrashed the trap and snatched up Nick. Before he could kill him, however, Godzilla recognized his scent, and after a few moments, released him. Nick realized that the egg's contents had caused the infant to imprint on him, believing him to be his parent.
Over the next few weeks, HEAT studied Godzilla. They discover, for some unknown reason, that he is sterile. Unfortunately, Monique Dupre, a French secret agent assigned to monitor HEAT's activities, tipped off the military, who immediately attacked and apparently killed Godzilla. HEAT had no time to mourn, as they had to go to Jamaica to investigate reports of people being attacked. They got ringside seats, as giant squids attacked the HEAT Seeker. Thankfully, Godzilla was tougher than the military thought; he had survived the attack and followed HEAT.
The mutant reptile appeared, now fully grown at 180 feet tall, and quickly dealt with the squids. Not long after, HEAT discovered that another creature was responsible for the attacks, a giant tar-eating crustacean mutation called Crustaceous Rex (or C-Rex). After an intense fight, Godzilla managed to collapse a cliff on top of C-Rex, apparently killing it (since it returned in the three-parter "Monster Wars," it seems the mutant was only buried and managed to escape). Major Hicks had to make a decision on what to do with Godzilla, and decided to let him live.
The original Godzilla returns as a creature called Cyber-Godzilla in the three-part Monster Wars saga. An alien race called the "Tachyons" resurrect the original monster using cybernetic components. Confronting its son, this 'Cyber-Godzilla' is able to confuse him, allowing the Tachyons to gain control of him as they have controlled several other Earth monsters. Eventually, Nick Tatopulous is able to break the Tachyons' hold on the creatures, but Cyber-Godzilla remains on their side because he is permanently under their control. When faced with a choice between Nick and Cyber-Godzilla, he sides with Nick, and after a prolonged battle defeats his father.
Godzilla is the strongest monster in the series . When Nick travels the world trying to deal with the mutation problem, Godzilla follows close behind, ever ready to come to the aid of his adoptive father.
He differs from his biological father in several ways: he is stronger, seems smarter, and has a few more abilities similar to his father, including burrowing, swimming, climbing, and leaping and running at fast speeds and distances. Like the true, Japanese version of Godzilla, this creature has radioactive breath, which is green in color and is fired from his mouth; this ability is more often used to finish off his opponents. When about to use his breath weapon, his dorsal fins and throat glow blue, and his eyes briefly glow yellow. In the final episodes, his eyes start to glow red when he uses his atomic breath, which means his atomic breath could possibly have gotten stronger. While his atomic breath proves effective on many monsters, some other monsters have been shown to be immune to this. Also, like his Japanese counterpart, Godzilla has tough scaly skin and the ability to regenerate injuries. Godzilla also has razor sharp teeth, claws, and back plates, powerful jaws, and a muscular, whip-like tail. When the Tachyons invaded, he showed that he was resistant to psychic control, but only temporarily.
Godzilla's territorial and protective instincts mean he will not allow a potential threat to just walk away. He is extremely intelligent, and has even shown that he can make moral decisions, such as choosing to assist Nessie to rescue her child. How smart, no one really knows, but Godzilla could be smarter than anyone would believe. He was even shown to have a sense of humor; in the climax of one episode of the series he splashed members of the team with water in a playful fashion. In one episode he falls in love with another mutant reptile known as Komodithrax. She had the ability to fertilize her own eggs and laid a massive egg. Godzilla became its surrogate father. Godzilla and Komodithrax began to raise a family together, but sadly Komodithrax and her egg fall into a giant fissure and die. Godzilla was left to mourn.
Godzilla's main diet consists of fish, although he could possibly eat humans since, in the first episode, he seemed to come close to eating Nick. Usually HEAT have their work cut out for them trying to satisfy him. All in all, Godzilla is a force to be reckoned with. Godzilla was liked by the fans of the original Japanese Godzilla movies due to it being very similar in power, intelligence and abilities. This incarnation was given the nickname "Lizard King," among others, by Randy, which is "King of the Monsters" in his own right.
The trademark atomic flame is put into this version and, combined with its agility, durability, and other abilities, he is much stronger than his predecessor. The creature's ability to adjust to any situation has gained positive response from many fans of the Toho Godzilla. For example, he can climb on top of enemy monsters and shoot his flame downwards. Longtime Godzilla fans almost universally enjoyed Godzilla: The Series more than they did Roland Emmerich's film, and this incarnation of the beast garnered as much or nearly as much respect as the real Godzilla.
[edit] First Godzilla/Cyber-Godzilla
Cyber-Godzilla (also called "C-G", along with Cyber-Zilla) was created by a combination of human and alien technology. A cyborg created using the body of the first Godzilla, it is completely under the control of the aliens, with or without their tachyon emissions. Cyber-Godzilla has been seriously upgraded from its original form, and now possesses several weapons, such as a sonic emitter in its chest, eight missile launchers on its dorsal spines, and blue atomic flame breath. While a puppet, there does seem to be a tiny bit of the original's mind left, enough for it to dominate its own offspring. When Godzilla first met Cyber-Godzilla, he was extremely confused, unable to decide who his parent was; the aliens used this confusion to gain control of him.
Cyber-Godzilla was sent to Tokyo during the alien attack, and was the only monster not to turn on them, due to the fact that its mind had been dead for well over a year and whatever had been resurrected was dominated by the programming implanted in its newly cybernetic mind. Cyber-Godzilla was summoned back to Site Omega where it knocked the Giant Bat out. Moments later, Godzilla appeared, and there was a tense moment as the young monster decided where his loyalties lay. He chose Nick. During an impressive battle, Cyber-Godzilla attempted to kill its son; still Godzilla proved to be even mightier than his parent and won.
Cyber-Godzilla's roar was changed to a more metallic sound, which would make sense, because he is a cyborg. Why and how Cyber-Godzilla actually gained atomic flame breath is unknown, but probably the aliens gave it to him while being reanimated and constructed. Of interesting note, Cyber-Godzilla's atomic flame was blue in the series much like the Toho Godzilla, while his son's breath is green. Another mutation named "Komodithrax" had blue atomic flame breath as well. No explanation is given for the radical use of metal in the cyborg's body, however, as much of the cybernetic components seem arbitrarily placed. This includes a cybernetic right arm and a strange metal "helmet" on the cyborg's head, which probably keeps Cyber-Godzilla under Tachyon control without the mind control emissions. In addition, the color of Cyber-Godzilla's skin and back plates were changed for the series. In the film, its skin was blackish grey with blue back plates, much the same as that of its children. However, in the series, Cyber-Godzilla's skin is brown with gray back plates; this is most likely to show decay.
Cyber-Godzilla's death at the hands (and fangs) of his only surviving son is easily the single most violent defeat of any mutation ever shown in the series. Though there is no loss of blood, the creature's right arm is blown off and its chest is visibly ripped open by Godzilla during their battle, and is even shown given off something akin to a death rattle as it dies; no other mutation is shown being defeated in so graphic a manner.
Cyber-Godzilla was the second appearance of the original Godzilla, the first being in the opening sequence of the first episode, "New Family." Also, the fact that Cyber-Godzilla was sent to destroy Tokyo, Japan may have been a homage to the Toho Godzilla.
[edit] Crustaceous Rex
Crustaceous Rex (also called "C-Rex") is a mutated dinosaur-like crustacean which feeds on tar. It possesses a large carapace, tentacles, and huge, clawed arms which support him. Originally, C-Rex hunted the giant squids; however, as that food source dried up, it was drawn to Jamaica and its motorways. C-Rex is believed to have been created months after the original Godzilla died.
The tar C-Rex feeds off of is not all digested; some is stored and can be fired at an enemy in self-defense. The C-Rex's attacks were blamed on Godzilla; however, when HEAT arrived in Jamaica, it was Godzilla who battled the creature, eventually collapsing a cliff on it. C-Rex survived and was sent to London, England, by the Tachyons during the Monster Wars. It also survived that conflict and is currently being held at Site Omega along with King Cobra and the Giant Bat.
C-Rex was temporarily released when S.C.A.L.E. unleashed it and three other monsters, the King Cobra, the Giant Bat, and a new arrival known as Skeetera. C-Rex had a brief fight with King Cobra, but before it could continue, Monique reactivated the forcefields and contained the mutations.
This mutation is very much similar to Cloverfield creature.
[edit] Giant Squids
These are giant squids of indeterminate origin, although it is believed they may have the same origin as Crustaceous Rex and Godzilla. Considerably larger and more fearsome than even a colossal squid, they have more hooks on their tentacles and a row of spines along where the cuttlebone lies. They are able to produce a tar-like substance that could drain the water out of creatures as well as keep them alive so they can eat their prey later. Since C-Rex eats tar, he was attracted by the digestive tar produced by the Giant Squids, which led to him eating most of the Giant Squids.
After being hunted nearly to extinction by C-Rex, the squids moved to shallower water and began attacking boats. The remaining squids were either eaten by C-Rex or killed by Godzilla.
[edit] Nanotech Creature Or PEMC (Petroleum Eating Microbe Colony)
The Nanotech Creature was an artificial microbe designed to dissolve petroleum and other non-biodegradable forms of waste. A malfunction during a public test caused the microbes to begin devouring everything, and the creature began displaying intelligent behavior. Soon, the creature was enormous.
Godzilla appeared, partly out of protective instinct and partly territorial, and tried to fight the creature, which wrapped itself around him and tried to smother him. Godzilla freed himself using his flame breath; however, the creature headed for a petroleum plant. Godzilla followed and attempted to block its attempts, alternating between flame attacks and slashing with his dorsal fins. HEAT devised a way to remove the control mechanisms in the microbes, and Nick managed to deliver a computer virus into the creature. The creature hardened and died, the towering corpse sliced in half by Godzilla's tail.
[edit] El Gusano
An earthworm that fed off of a rare poisonous plant; as a result, it mutated and grew to an enormous size. It was given the name "El Gusano"(Spanish for "The Worm").
When Godzilla arrived, they fought to what appeared to be a standstill. Shortly afterwards, the Mexican military attempted to poison El Gusano with a purified extract derived from the plant that caused it to mutate in the first place. However, exposure to the purified form of the extract caused El Gusano to mutate further and seemed to give it the ability to exhale limited amounts of the toxin itself. In the process, Godzilla was poisoned by the toxin and El Gusano escaped. El Gusano did have a weakness to heat and H.E.A.T. managed to ward it off using Flamethrowers. After being given an antidote synthesized by HEAT, Godzilla resumed the battle and defeated the mutant earthworm with his fiery breath, weakening it with the heat, but didn't kill it. Instead, El Gusano just shrunk to a smaller size and escaped.
The creature survived, grew back to its original size, and reappeared during the Monster Wars, where it was under the control of the Tachyons and sent to attack Moscow. After being freed of mind-control, it was next shown being killed by Tachyon ships.
[edit] Cyber-Flies
Robotic flies created by Cameron Winter to implant his control device on Godzilla. Due to this fact, they were woefully weak and easily smashed to bits by Godzilla. They did, however, have a powerful tranquilliser capable of knocking out Godzilla and the power to fire electric shocks, though these were only powerful enough to knock out a human.
[edit] Huge Rat and the Giant Rats
These rats appeared in New York not long after Godzilla. Their origins are a mystery; however, it is possible they were mutated by the pollutants in New York. The rats made a nest underground, in an area connected to abandoned subway tracks.
When they arrived, Godzilla began moving inland in an attempt to drive out the intruders. At the same time, three redneck hunters appeared, hoping to bag the mutant lizard. While Godzilla and HEAT chased a rat through the city, the three hunters used missile launchers to attack Godzilla, only managing to blow apart the spire for the Chrysler Building. The rat went underground, snatching several HEAT members and hunters in the process.
HEAT made an attempt to rescue their partners, during which Godzilla tunneled into the rats' lair. While the humans escaped, Godzilla dug into the river, flooding it and killing most of the rats. However, at least one, the largest of the rats dubbed "Huge Rat," survived and was briefly controlled by the Tachyons during the Monster Wars, but disappeared later for unexplained reasons and was never seen again (though it was probably killed).
[edit] Cryptocleidi
Artificially created from Cryptoclidus by the Tachyons, they were made larger, given skull-like features, and grew front limbs; they now only bear a passing resemblance to their original forms. Two were guarding the alien starship Leviathan, and tried to drive off Godzilla; however, he managed to defeat them. One survived and appeared in "Monster Wars," being brainwashed into attacking Hong Kong and later defending it by snapping the Leviathan out of the sky. It was last seen retreating into the sea from other Tachyon ships, and it is unconfirmed whether it survived or not.
[edit] Reptilians
Guard dogs created from the D.N.A. of dinosaurs by the Tachyons millions of years ago, the Reptilians have a basic quadruped body and a long multi-hinged jaw. They were seemingly killed when the Leviathan was flooded by HEAT.
They were due to make an appearance in "Monster Wars", with one of the creatures attacking Las Vegas. After being freed from Tachyon mind-control it would battle Cyber-Godzilla and die.
[edit] Crackler
A creature created when an insomniac, Sidney Walker, underwent a new sleep treatment; a side effect of this treatment was the creation of the Crackler. The Crackler began attacking anyone and anything Walker resented. Godzilla engaged it at a bus station, but when he attacked the Crackler with his atomic breath, it made the Crackler grow larger and stronger. The Crackler only appeared for brief periods, when Walker's brain waves spiked.
HEAT met it again at a baseball stadium, while Randy and Elsie tried to wake Walker up, hoping doing so would destroy the Crackler. While HEAT used electric prods to try and slow the Crackler down, Randy managed to disconnect the machine used for the sleep treatment, but all it did was set the Crackler on a rampage. By getting Walker angry, HEAT managed to weaken the Crackler enough for Junior to help destroy it as it began to implode. It was going to have a cameo in the final episode.
[edit] Queen Bee and the Giant Bees
A giant bee that is a queen of an entire hive of Giant Mutant Bees. The species was discovered on an island with unaturally large and healthy fauna that fed off the radioactive ashes of the local volcano. When the island's bees pollinated the plants, they too became mutated. Godzilla battled the Queen Bee, but the creature's stingers were deadly, able to weaken him. Godzilla managed to defeat her however.
The Queen Bee returned in the Monster Wars, and was killed in an aerial fight with Tachyon ships.
[edit] Mutant Carnivorous Plants
These plants were mutated due to irradiated lava. When Bees tried to pollinate these plants, they too became mutated.
[edit] Quetzalcoatl and the Baby Qs
A legendary dinosaur/bird evolutionary hybrid that lived in a volcano in Mexico, though it also had a passing resemblance to Archaeopteryx. It first appeared in the episode Bird of Paradise. Its name comes from the belief that its species was the inspiration for the Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent of the Aztecs, the creature was nicknamed "Q" by the H.E.A.T. team. It had a napalm breath ability and its feathers had evolved the ability to resist heat, effectively rendering Godzilla's atomic flame breath useless.
Quetzalcoatl had emerged after a volcanic eruption and proceeded to make a nest. It captured Elsie and brought her back to the nest to serve as food for its infants, human-sized creatures bearing a passing resemblance to both dromeasaurs and the infant Godzillas. Godzilla arrived and the two fought, but his strongest weapon was worthless in the fight. However, when HEAT tried to save Elsie from Quetzalcoatl's hatchlings, the parent left the fight to protect them. Godzilla knocked the family of monsters into the caldera they lived in and ensured it was partially collapsed, trapping it and its young in the lava once again. While Quetzalcoatl may have survived, lack of protective feathers/scales ensured the infants' demise.
Quetzalcoatl is one of the only naturally occurring monsters in the series. This does pose a slight paradox, as beyond mutation there is no satisfactory explanation for its napalm breath, nor its ability to create offspring without a mate.
[edit] Ice Borers and the Baby Borers
| colspan="2" style="text-align:center" |
|||
| Name: | Ice Borers | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Species: | Mutant mole rats | ||
| Seasons: | 1 | ||
| First Appearance: | Freeze (1:16) | ||
| Last Appearance: | Freeze (1:16) | ||
| Mate: | Another Ice Borers | ||
| Offspring: | Baby Ice Borers | ||
| Status: | Alive (Cuddles is the last one) | ||
The Ice Borers are giant mole-like creatures approximately 40-60 feet high. They lived in Antarctica, and travelled through the ice using extremely high body temperatures. HEAT arrived to deal with the problem, and Godzilla followed.
Individually, the Ice Borers were of little threat to the reptile; however, a group were able to drag him under the ice. They were seemingly killed when HEAT devised a way of freezing their heat sacks after studying a young Ice Borer that Randy named "Cuddles", and with the help of a resurfaced Junior, wiped out the colony.
[edit] Loch Ness Monster and Baby Nessie
The Loch Ness Monster is an evolved mosasaur. It is theorized that its ancestors survived the extinction of the dinosaurs and was encased in ice during the Ice Age and entered suspended animation, when the ice melted and formed Loch Ness, the creatures awoke and continued living, its descendents evolving and living a peaceful and secluded existence within the Loch. Over millions of years, her species became much larger and more intelligent. A monster is spotted every 20 years or so, in what is recognized as a breeding cycle. HEAT was called to Loch Ness because of video footage Elsie was interested in following up.
While there, the monster attacked a Scottish research building. During the attack, Godzilla appeared. While the two creatures struggled, HEAT discovered a Baby Nessie being held by the lead researcher, Dr. Hugh Trevor, who made an attempt to make off with the infant. The two monsters, meanwhile, were locked in battle underwater; however, the truly aquatic Nessie gained the upper hand over the amphibious Godzilla. During the fight, HEAT played the infant's cries, distracting both monsters. Nessie went to save the infant, and Godzilla followed. However, instead of continuing the fight, Godzilla freed the infant. Nessie was last seen thankfully giving a farewell cry to Godzilla, who returned in kind.
[edit] Giant Albino Yeti/Robo-Yeti
The Giant Albino Yeti/Robo-Yeti is a robot created by Dr. Yukiko Ifukube, a Japanese scientist, as a counter to the mutation epidemic. Because of the fact the constitution classed it as an offensive weapon, the robot was disguised as a mutation. Its weapons range from electric cables to missile launchers. The Robo-Yeti is also lethal in hand-to-hand combat, being capable of executing martial arts moves.
When HEAT came following reports of people disappearing, the Robo-Yeti was used to destroy their equipment, in hopes of making them leave. When the robot came close to crushing Nick and Craven, Godzilla, having earlier been sighted by a small boy in the ocean, body-slammed the robot, sending it flying. The two engaged in battle, the robot gaining the upper hand after performing a judo throw. As Godzilla lay prone, the Robo-Yeti bent in close, only to receive a face-full of flame. Godzilla then set the rest of its upper body on fire. However, all it did was reveal the machine beneath. Godzilla leapt in, and HEAT was captured. The two giants fought each other to a draw, neither gaining any real advantage.
Meanwhile, King Cobra had arrived. Monique stole the control unit and sent the robot after the snake, who severely damaged it. After Godzilla and the serpent had made a break for Tokyo, Craven worked to repair the robot. After its reactivation, it followed the monsters and helped Godzilla, pulling the snake off of him. However, the mutant snake constricted it, removed its head and thus destroyed Robo-Yeti.
[edit] King Cobra
A mutant cobra that was found in Japan. How it got there is a mystery; however, it may have swum from Asia. Instead of venom, the King Cobra is able to spit a glue-like substance that it uses to trap prey; the glue puts the prey into some sort of suspended animation and seems to be used to store food. The King Cobra has characteristics of a spitting cobra, allowing it to spit its 'venom' at prey; it also has a powerful constricting body, much like a python, which allowed it to destroy Robo-Yeti twice without employing any other attack.
HEAT came to Japan following reports of people disappearing, and of course, Godzilla followed. While there, Godzilla was mistaken for the creature attacking people and went one-on-one with Robo-Yeti, the two fighting essentially to a draw. While they battled, the King Cobra attacked the humans. After Monique stole its control, Robo-Yeti went after the snake but didn't last long. When Godzilla went for it, he got blinded by the King Cobra's venom. The cobra made a run for it, heading for Tokyo, with the blinded Godzilla using his nose to follow it. While HEAT made efforts to make a solvent for the glue, Craven helped repair Robo-Yeti.
Meanwhile, Tokyo was under attack from the King Cobra, with Godzilla close behind it. HEAT created the solvent and while Randy and Elsie found the snake's lair and freed its victims, Nick and the others took Robo-Yeti and headed for Tokyo. Robo-Yeti again made a move on the giant snake but was beaten worse than before. Nick managed to restore Godzilla's sight, and he made short work of the King Cobra. The King Cobra wasn't finished off, however; it apparently survived and was one of the monsters the Tachyons controlled. It was sent to attack Paris but after the invasion was thwarted, the King Cobra was captured and is currently held on Site Omega.
When the forces of SCALE attacked and "liberated" the Island, King Cobra was freed and engaged in a free-for-all with C-Rex, Giant Bat and Skeetera. King Cobra trapped Giant Bat with its adhesive venom before being bitten by Skeetera. It was then attacked by C-Rex before Monique reactivated the forcefield and contained the two monsters again.
[edit] Termite Queen, Mutant Soldier Termites, and Mutant Worker Termites
A mutated termite colony was found in the Amazon that was devouring the rain forest. The first time Godzilla fought them, the Termites swarmed all over him. HEAT later used a radio signal to force the Termites to attack each other before Godzilla returned to destroy the Termite Queen and her colony.
[edit] Giant Bat
The Giant Bat had the ability to emit powerful sonic waves from its mouth that could blow away anything and could become even stronger in water. At close range, the sound can render an opponent unconscious (however, other than that, the giant mutant bat had little physical force aside from its teeth and talons).
The monster appeared in the "Monster Wars" trilogy fighting with Godzilla only to be controlled by the Tachyons who commanded it to retreat. When it broke free of its control, it helped H.E.A.T. (unintentionally) and took out many Tachyon fighters with its shriek. Godzilla followed suit and the two encountered Cyber Godzilla, and the Bat was quickly knocked away when Cyber Godzilla used its chest cannon. The end of the episode shows that the Giant Bat survived and was merely knocked unconscious by Cyber Godzilla.
The Giant Bat reappears in SCALE, where it is confined to Monster Island along with King Cobra and Crustaceous Rex. It was shown to be flying around the Island with laser-like devices keeping it from escaping, which were shot into a hi-tech collar on its neck. The collar also prevented it from using its sonic scream. When SCALE attacked, the collar was shut down and it was able to use its power again. However, it was trapped by King Cobra's venom and bitten by Skeetera. It escaped and ultimately lost a dogfight against Skeetera. It was later confined once again.
[edit] Giant Mutant Vampire Bat
The Giant Mutant Vampire Bat was a mutation that was briefly mentioned in the episode Underground Movement, where HEAT was being sued for damages caused by Godzilla when he fought a mutated vampire bat in Miami, Florida.
[edit] Chameleon
A genetically engineered hybrid monster created by Cameron Winter with a combination of Godzilla's DNA and a chameleon's DNA. It was sent out to destroy New York where the people mistook it for Godzilla. Later Nick proves that Godzilla is innocent. The two squared off and it proved to be immune to Godzilla's atomic breath. It could also blend in with its surroundings, causing it to turn invisible to even radar.Strangely it lacked Godzilla's atomic breath and the only other ability of Godzilla's that it showed was his speed. It was finally destroyed by a biological agent called the French Anti-Godzilla Bazooka, which was used by Philippe. This bio-weapon was meant for Godzilla but Philippe changed his mind, seeing that the Chameleon was responsible for the rampage at New York, not Godzilla. He then fires it at the Chameleon. It turned the monster into stone and then destroyed it.
[edit] Bacillus
A giant, mutant germ, the Bacillus has a spherical body, a prehensile stinger, and the ability to produce an endospore. Its stinger will automatically infect anything it pierces. The Bacillus is an interesting mutation as it is a multi-cellular organism created from a single-celled organism; however, it is possible that it was a bacillus colony that was mutated. It could also spit a green slime.
The Bacillus first appeared near a reservoir, and HEAT was extremely concerned about what would happen if it entered the artificial lake. Godzilla appeared and battled the creature, which was susceptible to heat. However, before its apparent death, the Bacillus slashed Godzilla with its stinger, infecting him with a deadly virus that attacked his cerebral cortex. Nick and Monique attempted to save him by entering his body and manually exterminating the viral agents.
Meanwhile, the Bacillus returned, having protected itself using an endospore. While Nick and Monique worked inside Godzilla, the mutant bacteria made another run at the reservoir. The two inside Godzilla managed to eliminate the virus; however, they were low on oxygen and headed for Godzilla's nostrils. Godzilla's healing ability kicked in and he rapidly recovered. He headed straight for the mutant, snagging it off the reservoir wall. The two fought, Godzilla now aware of the danger from the stinger. With some help from HEAT, Godzilla finally killed the beast, and sneezed Nick and Monique out.
[edit] Giant Mutant Widow Spider and Hybrid Spiders
The Giant Mutant Widow Spider was a Black Widow Spider mutation. The giant Mutant Widow Spider initially covered Godzilla in webbing because, due to a device Craven used to try and control him, he was confused during the fight. HEAT used a bomb that was loaded with flowers from the Chrysanthemum family. Godzilla showed up and took care of the adult spider. This mutation was able to reproduce asexually just like the first Godzilla, and thousands of eggs that hatched into super-deadly Hybrid Spiders.
[edit] Mutant Manta Ray
A mutated manta ray that can fly and breathe ice. It appeared in New York while apparently migrating to a colder climate to hibernate. HEAT and Godzilla intercepted it, and the mutants fought while HEAT came up with a plan to trap the mutant in an ice rink, thereby lulling it into hibernation. Using cold air, they drew it to the ice rink, where Nick waited to stop Godzilla following. The ray then entered hibernation, ready for transport to Site Omega. While being transported, it woke, escaped, and went on a rampage.
HEAT were attending Elsie's sister's wedding when the ray appeared and tried to attack the humans. However, Godzilla returned and the two entered a battle of hot and cold, that altered the weather of the area. Nick and Elsie tried to draw it out to sea, while Godzilla tried to stop it from freezing Nick's boat. However, it was incapable of freezing the salt water. Once far enough out, Godzilla again tried to fight the ray. However, the ray froze Godzilla's upper body, and he sank into the ocean. Fortunately, the salt water broke the ice, and Godzilla snatched the ray and dragged it underwater before creating a whirlpool to suck it into the depths. Whether or not it survived is unknown.
[edit] Techno-Sentient
The Techno-Sentient was a mysterious object from outer space that landed on Earth. It had the ability to fuse itself with any mechanical device it came contact with. Attacking an electronic equipment store, the alien became an 8-foot tall amalgam of assorted mechanical parts. It next striked at a contsruction site, where it absorbed the machinery and grew to Godzilla-like porportions. Tapping into the internet, the Techno-Sentient learns about the Earth, mankind, and the location of weapons of mass destruction. H.E.A.T. pursues the alien to Fort McKenzie, where the alien heads straight for the base's nuclear arsenal. Godzilla tries to stop the alien, but the military opens fire on both monsters and gives the Techno-Sentient the opportunity to wrap itself around the launch tower of a nuclear missile. Godzilla pounds on the Techno-Sentient, locking the alien with missile, which is then launched into space and detonated by Randy; killing the Techno-Sentient.
[edit] Giant Silver Hydra
The Silver Hydra was a cnidarian like creature which stalks an abandoned mining field. It possesses the ability to regenerate and replicate like a real hydra. The Silver Hydra does not appear to be a direct mutation from any specific government tests or chemicals, and appears to have originated from the mine. HEAT investigated the mine when a little girl lost her 2 brothers in the mine, who were attacked and frozen in a liquid metal silver alloy that the Silver Hydra spat from its mouth. After discovering the creature and half of the members being encased in metal, Nick and HEAT summoned Godzilla who broke into the tunnel and attacked the Silver Hydra. The Hydra split into 2 identical hydras and managed to freeze most of Godzilla's body in silver metal.
The Silver Hydra proceeded to chase down HEAT until reaching the end of the mine shaft. Nick and the others discovered ice cold water being blocked up by the mine, they managed to break it open and send ice cold water through out the tunnel. Godzilla's metallic coating froze and broke off, freeing him, where as the twin Silver Hydras were frozen solid as well by the water and crumbled into pieces.
[edit] D.N.A. Mimic
The result of a French experiment gone wrong, the D.N.A. Mimic was a shapeshifting creature capable of turning into anything it touched, including humans. When HEAT were trying to track it down, it managed to evade them by mimicking Elsie, but a side effect of its transformations was a higher body temperature than that of humans, allowing them to expose its cover. HEAT developed a means of destroying the mimic, but matters were briefly complicated when it duplicated Godzilla and began to fight it; hitting the wrong target would kill the real Godzilla. Nick was nevertheless able to tell which was the true Godzilla and killed the Mimic.
[edit] Lizard Slayer 1, Lizard Slayer 2, and Lizard Slayer 3
The Lizard Slayers were "Anti-Godzilla" weapons created by Cameron Winter. There are three models: Lizard Slayer 1 is a ground walker, Lizard Slayer 2 is an amphibious attack vessel, and Lizard Slayer 3 is an air assault vehicle. The three hunters (from the episode Cat and Mouse), Hank, Dale, and Bill, were broken out of prison to act as pilots; if they killed Godzilla, they would be given a "get out of jail free card." However, their ineptitude combined with Godzilla's natural intelligence meant they were very poor at their job.
After HEAT, Major Hicks, and Godzilla destroyed the Slayers, Winter acted as though the three hunters had stolen the mechs. It was a bittersweet victory for HEAT, as Nick found out that the government had been impressed by the mechs and given Winter orders for models for the military, much to Major Hick's discomfort; Winter then calls Nick and further taunts him.
[edit] Swamp Beast
The Swamp Beast was a monster of mystical origins. The Swamp Beast can fire mud at an opponent, trapping them. When a developer began working in a bayou swamp, the creature appeared and attacked the workers. When HEAT arrived to investigate, Godzilla attacked the beast, which was apparently under the influence of an old Cajun, but using its ability to fire mud, it trapped Godzilla and escaped.
The Swamp Beast reappeared at a function held by the developer. HEAT was present and as such, Godzilla returned to protect Nick. Du Mare tried to trap Godzilla again; however, he used his flame breath to dry the mud, allowing himself to break free. The two fought until the Cajun called the beast off. It made a return to the swamp, and Godzilla would have followed if Nick hadn't told him to let it go.
[edit] Fire Monster
The Fire Monster was a creature which had the power to surround itself with flames, forming a sort of larger "body" out of the fire. The heat it gave off meant that missiles and bullets exploded before they could get anywhere close. It could also absorb fire. It attacked an oil rig and menaced HEAT before fighting Godzilla, feeding off his atomic breath until HEAT used oil (its fuel source) to lure it away. The fire Monster burned itself out before Godzilla doused it with water and defeated it.
However, Craven realised the scientific value of the monster and, with Randy's help, smuggled it into HEAT HQ where it reawakened and almost burned the place down fighting Godzilla. Craven eventually atoned for his mistake by causing a huge explosion that used up the oxygen in the vicinity, smothering the creature's flames.
The Fire Monster was left at the bottom of the sea in a vacuum-sealed bubble. At the end of the episode, a shark damaged the container and apparently released it.
[edit] Norzzug
A sphinx-like monster from Saudi Arabia awoke after many years by archaeologists who were cleaning it with a rust removing agent. Its blood is made of oil, which it uses to breath fire. Godzilla defeated the monster when Nick told Godzilla to throw him into the salty ocean water, which caused its iron skin to rust and petrify.
[edit] Giant Mutant Hummingbirds
Giant Mutant Hummingbirds that attacked San Francisco, California. The grew because of the food supply (flowers) being polluted by chlorofluorocarbons. Since then they have acquired a taste of pollutants for their food supply, they attacked the airplane's engines. They have the ability to create mirages from flapping their wings and have saliva similar to battery acid. Godzilla defeated them when HEAT attached a visor on him with impact resistant acrylic glass base layered with light filtering tints to counteract varying degrees of image refraction to his eyes he was able to finish them off. After the battle the U.S. Coast Guard picked up the hummingbirds' bodies from the ocean. The Pentagon wanted to study their stealth capabilities.
[edit] Medusa, Scorpio, and Giant Gila Monster
Medusa, Scorpio, and the Giant Gila Monster were three mutations owned by a travelling mutant circus. Medusa was a mutant anemone and the main attraction in the circus, but was driven insane by her environment and attacked New York. She used her ability to drain moisture from living creatures to defeat Godzilla before he rehydrated and destroyed her.
[edit] Giant Sea Anemone
Medusa wasn't the first mutant sea anemone HEAT has encountered. One was mentioned in the non-aired episode The Ballad of Gens Du Marais.
[edit] Megapede/Giant Cicada
A giant centipede that was destroying farms in Chicago, Illinois. It journeyed to an amusement park where it fought Godzilla. Megapede seemed to have gained the upper hand for shooting poisonous barbs and a toxic foam which it sprayed on Godzilla's eyes then he retreated into the water. Megapede had a weakness that was electricity because of it being electricuted on a rollercoaster ride. When HEAT tried to search for it all they found was a cocoon. It turned into the Giant Cicada. It went on top of a building flapping its wings trying to find a mate, but all it did was create interferences in electronic devices, luckly the managed to stop it with insulating foam. Godzilla returned and brought down the building and they engaged in battle. Godzilla and the Giant Cicada fought under water, until the Giant Cicada drowned.
[edit] Giant Centipede
The Giant Centipede battled the Shrewster in Maximillian Spiel's monster arena.
[edit] Ts-Eh-Go, Second Wave Scorpions, Third Wave, and the Nightmare Scorpion
A military mutant scorpion code-named the First Wave, Ts-Eh-Go had the ability to fire acid from its tail at a target. It proved uncontrollable, escaped, and went wild in the desert. HEAT went after Ts-Eh-Go, following sightings, and soon found out the truth of its creation. Godzilla went up against it, but was badly injured by its stinger.
Meanwhile, HEAT and Major Hicks found that the military had created the Second Wave , a much smaller, white version of Ts-Eh-Go. Elsie discovered that a mud found in the region had the ability to cure Godzilla. While the two monsters had a rematch, the Second Wave escaped. Surprisingly, they attacked Ts-Eh-Go, and both were killed when the research building was burned down. There was also mention on development of a "Third Wave."
In Randy's fever dream there was a "Nightmare Scorpion".
Ts-Eh-Go is also the Navajo word for scorpion
[edit] Armillaria
A mutant fungus that could suck the amino acids from any living organism. The mutation is destroyed by Godzilla's atomic breath.
[edit] Shrewster
An interesting mutation, the Shrewster was created when a lab, experimenting with artificial twisters, had an accident, and a nearby shrew was mutated and given the remarkable ability to exist inside a twister. In fact, it never left it, using the twister to travel and hunt for food. HEAT encountered it when they were sunbathing and the Shrewster appeared, before being chased off by Godzilla. As HEAT tracked its history, the mutant returned, sucking N.I.G.E.L. and Nick inside.
HEAT developed a way to neutralize the twister, thereby allowing Godzilla to close in. However, even without it, the Shrewster was extremely agile, but unfortunately for it, it was trapped in a bandstand and transported to Site Omega. However, the Shrewster seems never to have made it to the island, as it appeared during a fight in the mutation fighting arena, in the final episode of the series.
[edit] Skeetera
A mutated mosquito that could temporarily absorb power from other creatures by drinking their blood. Physically, Skeetera was essentially a giant version of a female mosquito. After being defeated by Godzilla, HEAT arranged to take it to Monster Island. However, an extreme animal rights group called S.C.A.L.E. sneaked onto the island and freed all the monsters. Skeetera then began to absorb the abilities from the King Cobra and the Giant Bat, gaining the ability to fire adhesive venom (though the venom didn't have the same properties as that of the King Cobra) and emit the loud screech of the Giant Bat (but couldn't focus it). Godzilla arrived and helped to herd the mutations back to their holding areas. However, Skeetera attacked him and stole his atomic breath. The combination of all three powers resulted in an ability to spit explosive fluids. Skeetera was finally defeated after being knocked into electric cables.
[edit] Prototype Dragmas and Full-Grown Adult Dragmas
The Dragmas (an acronym for "Democratic Resurgence Against a Global Mechanized Armageddon") were genetically engineered reptilian-like monsters created by Dr. Jonathan Insley, a scientist who thought he was saving the world by using them as a weapon to eliminate other mutations. They have three legs, wings, and razor-sharp teeth and claws. Dragmas also possessed completely impenetrable skin, in which nothing could breach it. Despite being smaller than Godzilla and most other mutations, they used their armored bodies and huge numbers to take down their enemies. This makes them the strongest monsters in the show and in a large pack, they were able to kill Godzilla (in an alternate timeline). They also had the ability to rapidly reproduce. In an alternate timeline, into which HEAT was drawn, the Dragmas had taken over the planet, decimating humanity and wiping out Earth's mutations, including Godzilla. HEAT was determined to return to their time and stop this from happening. Finally making it to the present, they made a move on the lab where the immature Dragmas, lacking the armored hides, were. HEAT managed to kill them, with the timely help of Godzilla, thus averting the disaster.
[edit] Mutant Jellyfish
A jellyfish mutation that Godzilla and HEAT fought except for Craven who called in sick. Its powers are swimming and jelly-like nuclear acid. During their fight a storm sent HEAT to the future.
[edit] Komodithrax
Komodithrax was a mutant komodo dragon that Godzilla falls in love with after Nick and Audrey's romantic trip in Alaska is interrupted by a giant mutant turtle and they end up on a deserted island with Komodithrax. Godzilla and Komodithrax defend HEAT from the Giant Turtle, and H.E.A.T. finds a giant egg in Komodithrax's nest. She and her egg fell into a canyon, along with the Giant Turtle, and died. Godzilla was left to mourn.
Like Godzilla, Komodithrax was powerful and like Godzilla himself, had an atomic flame breath, which was blue in color and was almost similar to the one used by Cyber-Godzilla. She was almost as adept a fighter as Godzilla, but was smaller and appeared unable to regenerate or burrow. Also, Komodithrax had laid a giant egg which she fertilized herself.
[edit] Giant Egg
Komodthrax was shown to have laid a giant egg. Godzilla and Komodithrax even made a nest for the egg. Sadly, it fell in a canyon and supposedly died along with Komodithrax and the Giant Turtle, though some believe that there is a slim chance that they survived.
[edit] Giant Turtle
The Giant Turtle appeared in the same place and at the same time as Komodithrax, the turtle and the giant komodo dragon share the same fate, when they fall into a canyon together a result of Komodothrax tackling the turtle. Sadly, Komodithrax's egg fell in the canyon too.
[edit] Thorny Devil, Giant Armadillo, Desert Lizard, and Desert Rat
Thorny Devil, Giant Armadillo, Desert Lizard, and Desert Rat are four mutations that were located in Area 51. The Giant Armadillo escaped and ran around the compound of Area 51, where agricultural experiments were also conducted, until HEAT trapped it in the roots of a giant Mesquite bush. It proved formidable withits plated hide and a powerful tail that can generate immense shockwaves by slamming against the ground. The Thorny Devil was much larger and more powerful, with great physical strength, armoured skin that could withstand Godzilla's flame breath, and the ability to shoot spikes which each contained at least toxic equivalent of twenty scorpion stings. It fought Godzilla to a standstill and escaped before Randy tried (and failed) to knock it out with tranquilisers. Godzilla re-entered the fight and flipped the monster onto its back, killing it by blasting its defenseless underbelly.
[edit] Deep-Dweller
The Deep-Dweller is a mutant Frogfish who lived in total darkness which made its weakness "light". Godzilla and HEAT weren't able to destroy it but they did send it back to its natural habitat.
[edit] Rhinosaurus
A mutant rhino genetically engineered by Cameron Winter's company, that appeared in the Mutant Arena to challenge Godzilla. Initially Godzilla was only interested in escaping the arena, but once Rhinosaurus threatened Nick (who had been thrown into the arena along with the monsters) Godzilla attacked it. Rhinosaurus put up a fierce fight until it was knocked out by a powerful blow from Godzilla's tail.
[edit] Giant Water Beetle
A mutant water beetle that sprays ammonium nitrate from its nostrils, which is deadly to humans. Maximillion Spiel, the man behind the Mutant Arena, sent it to distract HEAT while his men abducted Godzilla, before calling the creature away from HEAT HQ. The Water Beetle returned later in the episode, attacking Randy and Monique when they tried to sneak into Spiel's compound and pursuing them into the mutant arena, where HEAT tricked Rhinosaurus into attacking it. After Godzilla defeated Rhinosaurus, he threw the Water Beetle into Spiel's office, where it attacked him. Rather than being used in the arena, the Water Beetle seemed to have been tamed and used as an attack/guard dog by Spiel. It is implied that the Water Beetle was rescued after its part.
[edit] Unused Monsters
Prior to the series' release, several sketches surfaced of monster designs. These were given names of Toho monsters for identification purposes. While many of these appeared in preliminary sketches these monsters didn't play a role in the series. However, four were used in the intro sequence, possibly to keep the identification of monsters to appear in the series a mystery, alongside Godzilla and Crustaceous Rex. The unused monsters that appear in the opening titles are: Flying Gigan, Gus the Spider, Manda the Worm, and Megalon.
