Description
Ultimate Lifeform
SHIN GODZILLA
Height: 120 meters (max)
Mass: 70,000 metric tons (max)
Bio:
In the summer of 2016, a civilian pleasure boat, rented under the name of Professor Goro Maki, as well as his shoes and personal effects, were discovered floating in Tokyo Bay. Evidence of a suicide were initially reported. The boat was at the center of the bay, and a source of interest as the government investigated the point of origin from a new nightmare rising from the waters around Japan.
For decades, tensions brewed in North America over the possibility of kaiju attacks on their home soil. Thankfully, any incidents were few and far between, and could reliably be handled by the United States’ obscenely well-funded military. It wasn’t until the Crystal Incursion of 2007 that even under the auspices of the EDF, America tasted the true threat of a Type 2 kaiju assault under a Level 3 Extinction Event. The US Government began looking in to more pre-emptive directives to protect themselves and their own territory.
After all, while Japan tinkered with its robots and put its faith in pagan god-monsters, the USA could surely pump more resources into creating a super-weapon both unstoppable and controllable.
I mean...we did it before...Didn’t we?
The creature rose from the water, steam rising from its superheated hide, and spilling liquids from various orifices that scalded flesh and corroded steel. Flopping around in violent conflict with an alien environment, the life form quickly began adapting to its new surroundings. The JSDF was quick to intercept but the animal escaped.
With the recent discovery of Gojirasaurus prodigious making itself known to the world, and now this new creature, which shockingly resembled Godzilla as well, the government of Japan convened an emergency meeting to propose new anti-kaiju efforts. A new team, lead by young and ambitious politician Rando Yaguchi, dedicated themselves to unraveling this new threat while G-Force searched for this “new Godzilla.”
It was about this time that Yaguchi’s team recovered Maki’s notes. After losing his wife to radiation sickness in a badly botched nuclear accident, Maki left Japan to work for the Americans. Eventually, his brilliance in genetic engineering was put to use on “Project G.” The prevailing wisdom of the US government was that, since the kaiju threat was still very real and could not be curtailed by anything but OTHER kaiju, the US might as well make kaiju themselves. Controllable kaiju.
It was a ludicrous idea, but Maki threw himself into his work. It was only when he finally saw the growing embryonic creature that he realized what he was about to unleash on the world.
Through no small amount of careful planning, Maki fled with the football-sized embryo, as well as much evidence as he could muster, to Japan, hoping to give it to G-Force.
Unfortunately, Maki knew he was being followed. Anticipating the end, Maki cursed his existence, cursed both the country that took his wife and the country that sought to take his own. So he released the containment unit, and dumped it into the bay. When the assassins arrived to take his life and the evidence, it was nowhere to be found, so Maki was murdered. The assassins made the scene to look like a suicide, but couldn’t find Maki’s notes before the kaiju erupted from the bay! The ship was nearly capsized, and the assassins fled.
What happened next was well-documented. The creature, nicknamed SHIN GODZILLA, rose once again from the sea in a new and terrifying form. Cutting its way across Japan, the full might of G-Force, still at a loss for Mecha after the Crystal Incursion, couldn’t put a dent in the thing. Eventually, the monster WAS stopped by the combined efforts of an international coalition spearheaded by Yaguchi dubbed “Operation Yashiori.”
Shin Godzilla was defeated by repeat injections of a compound designed to freeze its body. The compound was only discovered after Maki’s notes revealed the monster’s genetic code, indicating an advanced ability to evolve in response to its environment.
The freezing compound was only a temporary solution. It could not kill the creature, and the US government, eager to cover their tracks, were perfectly willing to destroy most of Tokyo to ensure the beast’s annihilation. After a tremendous loss of life and massive destruction to Tokyo not seen since the battle between Godzilla II and Destoroyah, the Japanese government remained steadfast in its insistence that Shin Godzilla was contained.
The monster’s frozen body was immediately set upon by a massive effort to cut it apart and keep every individual piece in a consistently frozen state. If the Yashiori compound even slightly wavered in its dosage, the individual pieces could begin to grow and regenerate into new Shin Godzillas. Inspection of the body had already revealed slowly growing smaller creatures each about 10 meters, indicating that Shin Godzilla was already evolving a counter-measure to the freezing agent in the form of smaller offspring that could be potentially immune to it. These bodies were also cut apart and distributed to various storage facilities and warehouses across the country and even the world for constant supervision...
Abilities/Aspects:
- Is able to fire a concentrated atomic heat beam from the mouth, but requires time to supercharge to full power.
- Constantly evolving, Shin Godzilla is potentially the most dangerous creature on the planet and if given the chance, could supplant humanity easily, and even give the other kaiju a run for their money.
- Extreme regeneration
- Genetic code still evolving, the Yashiori compound must be constantly tweaked in order to keep the remains dormant.
- The hide is initially soft and vulnerable, but quickly hardens in subsequent forms.
- Any pieces larger than a few tons that are blown off the monster can immediately begin growing into a new creature.

Well, this is certainly a horrifying looking creatures, and it ups the ante on the grotesque and horrifying nature of Shin Godzilla. In a way though, I think you perfectly captured what Shin Godzilla is: A horrifying, mutated, disturbing corruption of Godzilla's form; some bizzare side mutation that is as much a deviation of Godzilla's form as Orga or Biollante, but unilaterally NOT a true Godzilla.
In my opinion, Shin Godzilla only works as something that is Godzilla parallel, like one of his clones, or even Zilla, but something that doesn't work when you try to claim that it IS Godzilla. He is as much a 'GINO' as '98 Godzilla, and is less worthy of holding that title than the Legendary version. I will stand my ground that trying to make a Godzilla that is this fugly as sin is the absolute wrong way to design a Godzilla, and still hold your head high saying it's the 'Real' Godzilla, but that is just my opinion of course.
But this version here, and the backstory you have given it, works quite well, as it is only a horrible copy of Godzilla, a grotesque failure that is terribly dangerous and a horrifying punishment for not having learned their lesson from Biollante.
Since the last version of Godzilla is missing, I would be very interested in seeing the Godzilla prodigious be drawn to it once it reforms and finally put an end to this horrifying monstrosity.

I like to think that the reason Shin G would look so much like Godzilla in a shared canon is because Godzilla represents an ideal form for an alpha-predator kaiju. So, Shin G, naturally evolving into a form best suited to its environment, assumes the naturally ideal form.

i know what you might say... but im doing this expy of kaiju monster for a fan-made archetype of yugioh cards imgur.com/a/AlnqD and your shin godzilla art is the bets i've ver seen, so ca use it?
I promised thsi is the only art of your a i'lll ask for its just darn perfect for the the archetype, promised ti give you the credit for the image

.... holy f.... this is disturbing ...
personaly don´t like the t-rex-esk tiny arms but eh ... just a minor complaint
other than that ... yupp awesome as always ...
..... soooooo if it´s not too much to ask can you redraw zilla? either RoE zilla or zilla jr. from the animated godzilla series would be awesome ..

The reason that people sometimes recoil from small arms, especially on a universal image of power like Godzilla or Tyrannosaurus Rex, is because as homo sapiens, ALL OF OUR POWER IS IN OUR ARMS. We do everything with our hands, and it's the reason we're at the top of the food chain. To see a creature who essentially doesn't need arms, like a theropod dinosaur, but is fundamentally more powerful than we are, is inherently disturbing and we reject the idea outright.
Tyrannosaurs didn't give a shit. Their power is in their head and their legs. Big arms would just weigh them down.
Shin G has tiny arms more as a reference to the original G'54 maquette, but also because it's intentionally designed to look freakish and upsetting.

Very good point you make KaijuSamurai.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
it surely does look freakish alright ... though i think it would look just as freakish if his arms were a bit longer but still bonerevealing thin .. .. anyway ..
granted it was generaly common for theropod dinosaurs like the t-rex, carnotaurus or allosauros (there are no herbivorous theropods are there?) who had small arms ... though in case of allosaurus and spinosaurous they seem to have had some fair armlength even though they still werent used ..
there were however some herbivorous dinosaurs with fair armlength like the iguanodon but i guess it still rather traveled quadropedal than bipedal ... it made use of his arms with its thornike thumps though ..
there is also said that a bit of the iguanodon went into godzilla .. i guess the way he stands? not entirely sure ..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There actually were herbivorous theropods - therizinosaurs and some ornithomimids.
And yeah, Iguanodon went into Godzilla's original design - namely the arms. In those days, it was thought that Iguanodon had full-on grasping hands like an ape's or a human's.

That's a part of the original design. Shin G has tiny arms. No idea why, but it does.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
as has been said, for him to look freakish ..
shin godzilla is simply nightmarefuel ...
i mean his tail is also kinda is chimeraesk ..

I mean in the practical sense. He started out with no arms and then sprouts them as he becomes upright standing. They serve no purpose and they aren't atavisms because they never had a purpose in the first place. Best guess is pre-emptive preparation for a fight with something his size.

the second form is like derp! BLORRRGGHGSGJA:SR *throws up lava while derp eyebols*

While I hoped the arms would be longer in your art, the design is scary as shit more so than the original good work, can’t wait to see Godzilla Earth, MechaGodzilla Earth and Anime King Ghidorah

You could almost imagine it's rage being from the constant pain of evolving. Like it's body is constantly mutating and changing, with bits literally bursting out of you or rapidly growing, which would be pretty damn painful to experience, and when your being attacked from loads of little nasty things, it's almost like it's saying "Piss off! Go away!"

My first impression when I saw him:
HOLY SOMERSAULTING FUCK KILL THAT FUCKING THING WITH FIRE
Which is good because I am aware Shin Godzilla is supposed to be scary.
