Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In Toho’s movies, Godzilla has a deep catalog of villains. Beginning in the 1960s, the King of the Monsters has fought off over a dozen villainous kaiju. Some have become popular enough to appear in multiple movies, while others have only been used once. Godzilla has been fighting with other monsters since 1955’s Godzilla Raids Again when he went up against Anguirus. Not all Godzilla movies, however, are about good versus evil.
Related 8 Monsterverse Questions Finally Answered By Godzilla x Kong The Monsterverse had slowly been sowing the seeds for many mysteries which were finally explained in detail in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Kamacuras Kamacuras first appeared in 1967's Son of Godzilla. Not as large as other kaiju, the monsters are giant praying mantis. They were originally normal insects but were mutated by experiments to control the weather by the United Nations at Solgell Island.
Gabara Gabara, a giant green monster, stands out as a Toho kaiju that doesn’t actually exist in Godzilla canon. That’s because his only role was in All Monsters Attack, a movie that centers on a young boy’s dreams of adventuring on Monster Island with Godzilla’s son. Gabara was a manifestation of the boy’s fears about a bully at his school who was also nicknamed Gabara. The boy dealt with this fear by dreaming about Gabara being defeated by Godzilla.
The origin story has changed for the monster depending on the Godzilla timeline being depicted. While most stories stick to the idea of Hedorah being an organism from space, one novel, GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse, changed Hedorah to a colony of microorganisms found in a waste disposal area which were converted to a biological weapon. That's in keeping with so many of Godzilla's enemies being created by humans disturbing the environment.
Megalon is associated with Seatopia in classic Godzilla lore. Seatopia is a massive underground kingdom that is disturbed by nuclear testing, which falls right in line with the Godzilla franchise's commentary on environmental meddling. Megalon is worshiped by the people and when their home is in danger from the testing, he's called on by the Seatopians to fight for them.
The scientist had been experimenting with ways to control sea life, and when aliens approached him, he offered up his discoveries, including Titanosaurus, to them. After being mind-controlled by aliens, Titanosaurus joined forces with Mechagodzilla and helped him oppose Godzilla. Despite the odds, Godzilla managed to survive against both monsters. After his defeat, the creature never returned to the Godzilla universe.
After coming to Earth, SpaceGodzilla captured Godzilla’s son and became embroiled in a heated battle with the Japanese military, a robot called Moguera, and of course, the monster he originated from. Due to the vast amount of power he carried, SpaceGodzilla is the only Toho villain that Godzilla was never able to beat without help. SpaceGodzilla is so powerful that he's only appeared in a single movie.
