In the decades that he ’s been on silver screen , Godzillahas front a masses of unlike monsters . Sometimes are vicious , while others act as as benevolent shielder . Some flummox around for a while , but most usually fly forever after the deferred payment stray .
Whatever the sheath , the Godzilla universe is home to some of the greatest elephantine monsters in all of scientific discipline fable . They ’ve challenged the King of the Monsters time and time again , and while most are n’t successful , some of them allow a lasting mental picture on the serial .
Updated on November 13th , 2021 by Ben Hathaway : With the release ofGodzilla vs. Kong , there are now several more kaiju to summate to the Godzilla enemies roll .
Kamacuras
Arguably the most canonic of Godzilla ’s opposition , Kamacuras is nothing more than a massive praying mantis . Initially introduce inSon of Godzilla , Kamacuras ( and the wanderer Kumonga ) is a worthy antagonist for one of the franchise ’s lighter films .
While if it were grade against some of the series ' later monsters it would n’t last long , Kamacuras has intimidating scythe stage that give Godzilla and his son , Minilla , a distich of sharp cutting . A human would certainly need to avoid it if forced to reside on its island .
Battra
Essentially Mothra ’s counterpart , Battra only appear in 1992’sGodzilla vs. Mothrayet still made an impact on the franchise . It is an restrain brute with a phenomenal , fearsome design ( both in terms of its larvae stage and final leg ) .
While it ’s seemingly just an counter version of Mothra , Battra is much more . It ’s a brawny monster because it can put its rage aside and form with its mortal enemy to work down a greater terror . The laser beam that can come out of its eyes also help make Battra a force out to figure with .
Titanosaurus
A monster with a unforgettably outre appearance , Titanosaurus was a one - and - done monster as well as the final Kaiju foundation in the Showa series .
Even with Mechagodzilla by its side , the aquatic dinosaur Titanosaurus could n’t nurse a candle to Godzilla ’s posture . With its great power being a waving , webbed stern , the beast was at a raw disadvantage compared to both Godzillas ' atomic beams . It ’s actually mention several time inTerror of Mechagodzillathat Titanosaurus is a gentle fauna ( hence a lack of genetic defense mechanisms ) , but its brawn does make it capable of a firm punch if not an outright win .
Hedorah
Hedorah just looks like he hurts . He ’s a towering , angry molten lump of pure terror and ranks amongstGodzilla ’s strangest enemies . Actually , it ’s mostly toxic waste , which Hedorah exudes in addition to his remarkably powerful fight moves .
The monstrosity debut in the not surprisingly titledGodzilla vs. Hedorahand has testify to be one of the most hard resister for Godzilla in the Toho picture . Hedorah is Japanese for ' clay , ' which is apt considering that Godzilla had a hard clip getting a keep on him .
M.U.T.O.
The M.U.T.O. kicked off the reincarnated MonsterVerse Godzilla celluloid in 2014 , which was a bluff move considering they were a steel newfangled institution for the film .
The M.U.T.O. proved very powerful , with a duo of them almost defeating Godzilla in the streets of San Francisco with their strength and cunning . If Godzilla had n’t vote down them both , there would have been grand ( or perhaps millions ) of the scary thing run around .
Monster X
Monster X is one of the more scarily powerful modern monsters Godzilla has faced off against . This three - headed creature with a genetic liaison to the supremely powerful Ghidorah debuted inGodzilla : Final Wars .
With a bony shell and insane strength , Monster X handed Godzilla some of his most painful beatdowns . Also , he took a nuclear bomb calorimeter power point - clean and did n’t seem to have much to complain about afterward , safely qualifying him as one of the stronger Godzilla villain to ever hit the projection screen .
Rodan
Rodan gets slumber on sometimes , which is strange , considering Rodan is one of Godzilla ’s old and most hefty enemies . Any creature that can take flight and generate shockwaves solid enough to flatten city deserves some respect .
Rodan has been fighting Godzilla since 1964 , though he debuted in another unrelated film in 1956 . Rodan also featured heavily inGodzilla : King of the Monsters , where his great power got amplified to terrify effect .
King Kong
The main event in theGodzilla vs. Kongmovie . Some might squabble whether King Kong is actually a Godzilla resister , but they ’ve appeared together before and will likely continue to even after the MonsterVerse movie .
King Kong is warm enough to knock down building and rive apart gargantuan snake , order him high on any list of monsters . In his most late incarnation , his size and strength have been increase well , no doubt to match that of Godzilla .
Anguirus
Anguirus is Robin to Godzilla ’s Batman . Always there when Godzilla needs him , he was a unwashed brother in the Showa era . While he was first introduced as Godzilla ’s foeman , Anguirus seemed to patch thing up with the vainglorious G and decided to struggle on his side . With a back covered in sharp spike , Anguirus is hard to lash out from behind , and Godzilla often bounces enemies off of it for added damage .
But while Anguirus may be a intrust friend , he ’s reasonably useless by himself . Without any range attack , his ability to reserve his own is limited , and if a goliath ever manages to give up him onto his back , his abdomen is left exposed to potential damage . Still , despite enduring the most damage out of any of Godzilla ’s allies , he keeps coming back to help his crony meter and clock time again .
Gigan
With a pair of curved blade for arms and a power saw in his stomach , Gigan is a mishmash of different behemoth thrown together . Part machine and part animal , Gigan ’s trunk does n’t make a whole lot of sense . But Gigan is still consider one of the toughest enemy of the 1970s .
Gigan is pretty much a giant Swiss Army Knife . He has a laser that he tear out of his forehead , he can draw enemies into his spinning leaf blade , and he can wing . unhappily , Gigan is one of the more arrogant monster of the Godzilla universe , and it is here where he often meets his dying .
