Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, Mothra, Ghidorah, Behemoth… and a lot of other titans have already been well
grounded in the Monsterverse. But in this Episode we will review some of the most
bizarre and strange creatures that you might not have known about in this kaiju universe.
Join us as we reveal some of the physical appearances, abilities,
and causes of death that some of these creatures had to suffer.

And go check out our merch. Coming up, monsterverse creatures you’ve haven't heard about.
Consider yourself knowledgeable if you are acquainted with at least
three of these creatures. Note that not all of the animals discussed here are considered Titans.
And most importantly, take the existence of these animals with a grain of salt.
Even though all of these are mentioned or depicted in official Monsterverse material, it's still not
100% clear whether these are considered canon to the Monsterverse timeline. Ok enough disclaimers.
Number 1 - Giant Anomalocaris
Lets travel back in time to the events prior to 1973 and land in 1953 at the monarch headquarters.
Here, this relatively new secret organization was commissioned to study massive unidentified
terrestrial organisms that were starting to appear after the introduction of atomic technology.
In the graphic novel Godzilla Awakening, we follow Eiji Serizawa, Ishiro Serizawa’s father, inside
a facility where they were holding a sample of the titan now known as Shinomura. But this isn't the
one we are going to focus on. We are going to focus on this interesting creature right here.
There is no official name for this animal but it was referred to as some sort of giant shrimp,
by looking at some of its physical properties we can tell that this animal features characteristics
found in cambrian organisms. Almost like a mix of trilobites and this fella, the Anomalocaris,
an ancient crustacean with a distinctive pair of curled appendages that it used to capture prey.
But this Monsterverse crustacean was a lot bigger. But what was the purpose of having
such a creature in this story? Later on we see an image of Shinomura on top of a creature of
the same species. It was mentioned in the book that Shinomura was a kaiju that heavily depended
on high levels of radiation for survival, meaning that this creature must have also been highly
radioactive. This is the first and only time we see this creature in an official Monsterverse
installment, The next creature on this list however, just might appear in live action.
Number 2 - Margygr (margie-gruh)
During the events of Godzilla King of the Monsters, Monarch had moved its headquarters
to castle bravo, an extra large, concealed base located somewhere near Bermuda. Here, according
to the official novelization of this film, Monarch scientists were studying a corpse belonging to a
strange looking kaiju called Margygr. This word originates from Norse mythology meaning “mermaid”
or another loose translation “Sea Giantess” suggesting that this kaiju was a female. This
mythical creature was also referred to as being malevolent and evil at times. Our Monsterverse
rendition of Margygr is depicted as a bizarre looking titan, with a flat face and forward facing
eyes, similar to a human. Its skull would reach to the back of its neck. Additionally this titan is
seen to have part of its skull revealed, with some of its armor and scales showing traces of burn
marks. Additionally, the book states that this creature wasn’t necessarily of titan proportions,
but rather the size of a large whale. This is all we know about Margygr, but we want to know more,
how did this thing die? To develop a feasible theory we must take into account that this was
an aquatic monster, and that its wounds appeared to have been caused by burn marks. This animal was
also mentioned to be found somewhere in the arctic ocean. There is one monster in this kaiju universe
that fits this description: Godzilla. Godzilla can be both a terrestrial and aquatic monster,
shoot atomic rays underwater, and its observed that during that time, Godzilla would sometimes
patrol the Arctic waters. Remember that the myth referred to Margygr as a malevolent creature,
which is precisely the type of kaiju Godzilla would dispose of. Any creature of this size
would prey on the larger creatures such as whales and perhaps grow up to become a greater threat
to the Gman himself. Which is why it was killed - if Godzilla in fact did kill this kaiju afterall.
The next creatures we are about to discuss probably suffered a more frightening fate.

Number 3 - Giant Ceratopsians
In the Film Kong Skull Island we were taken to a frightening boneyard setting where we witnessed
all sorts of dead creatures including two individuals which just so happened to be Kong’s
parents. But there’s another skeleton. This one. As you can see, this skeleton strongly resembles
the well-known ceratopsian known as triceratops. A three horned herbivore that measured around
30 ft in length in the real world. Now we have to take into account that this particular triceratops
skull was much larger, suggesting that at some point in time, larger triceratops specimens used
to roam this island. These specimens would have dwarfed the triceratops animals that we know
today. So what happened to them? This is just a theory but it is implied that everything laying
in this boneyard was put to death by the swarm of skull crawlers that emerged from the depths.
Anything that could be bitten into was taken apart by these predators until driven to extinction.
Which is what almost happened to the kong species except this fella.
But given that Skull Island is in fact an extension of the biomes seen in the hollow earth,
we could still see some of these lurking around in a future Monsterverse film.
Number 4 - Giant Lemurs
Yes, apparently there are giant lemurs in this kaiju universe.. And these are pretty big. In
Godzilla Dominion, the Gman is found reminiscing on what the earth used to look like and what it
looks like now. In this flashback Godzilla sees two Lemur-like creatures that tower over the
surrounding trees. Meaning that these things are pretty big. In addition to that these things have
a tail tipped with a pointy end which indicates these could possibly be used as a weapon.
Moving on to this creature’s back we see that this thing had some discreet dorsal formations
along its spine, somewhat similar to what behemoth has. Finally we see that this creature had some
pretty strong limbs, toned musculature is seen in the original picture suggesting that apart
from being nimble creatures, these things could’ve also been strong animals. These closely resemble
the ring-tailed lemur, which believe it or not, also fall under the order of Primates. If you
didn’t know these harmless looking creatures are actually pretty aggressive towards humans.. Unless
you own one as a pet. The funny thing about this monster is that it was actually a byproduct of
some miscommunication within the production team of this comic. In the Author’s notes this mention
of a “giant lemur” was actually referencing an extinct lemur known as the Archaeoindris.
This mention then turned into the illustration of a Giant Lemur like kaiju.
But what happened to them? This particular area in Godzilla’s flashback shows that it
is now underwater.. Meaning that over time, these creatures probably retreated to the
hollow earth or dormant somewhere… or they’re just flat out extinct.
Do you think any of these creatures mentioned in this list are still alive somewhere on the planet?
Or do you think that they will never reappear in the Monsterverse?
