Monarch agent Mariko (Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization)

Behemoth is a Titan who first appeared in the 2019 Legendary Pictures Godzilla film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Name

Behemoth is named after a beast mentioned in the Bible (בהמות Behemot), which is interpreted often as either referring to a mythical creature or a large animal such as an elephant or rhinoceros. Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization also gives Behemoth the alternative name Mapinguari, derived from a a Brazilian cryptid believed to resemble a giant sloth.

Design

Behemoth is a mammalian creature resembling a gigantic sloth. He knuckle-walks like an ape using his long and muscular forelimbs which are larger than his hind legs. Behemoth's most notable trait are his colossal mammoth-like tusks which jut downward from his cheeks. Behemoth is covered in light brown fur, and appears to have greenish vines or algae growing on his otherwise gray tusks. Behemoth possesses a row of bumpy triangular spikes running along his back. Behemoth is very tall and appears to nearly match Godzilla himself in physical stature.

Origins

Behemoth was discovered by Monarch in Brazil, and an outpost was constructed around him. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization, a Monarch agent named Mariko states, "There are cave paintings of him that are twelve thousand years old."[1]

History

MonsterVerse

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Behemoth was among the many Titans awakened from his slumber in Brazil by King Ghidorah's call. Like the others, he began to rampage through populated areas. Eventually, he made his way to Boston along with Methuselah, Scylla, and the six-legged MUTO. There, they found the alpha they were following, Ghidorah, slain at the hands of Godzilla. Rodan approached Godzilla to challenge him, but was intimidated by his gaze and ultimately submitted. The other Titans all followed suit, each "bowing" in their own way to the new King of the Monsters. News outlets reported afterward that Behemoth's trail of destruction had begun to restore clear-cut parts of the Amazon rainforest.

Abilities

Tusks

Behemoth possesses two large tusks protruding from his face, similar to a woolly mammoth. He uses these large tusks to destroy structures in his path.

Restoration

Behemoth's radiation is able to restore jungles he passes through. When he was heading towards Boston, news outlets reported that his trail of destruction restored clear-cut parts of the Amazon rainforest.

Durability

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization, a jet of blue-white fire emitted from a nozzle installed in the ceiling of the outpost angers him but leaves his fur unharmed.

Filmography

Books

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization

Monarch prepares to terminate Behemoth when he responds to Ghidorah's call. However, an agent named Mariko, who sympathizes with Emma Russell's mission and believes Behemoth to be "the most interesting of the Titans," cuts the power to the outpost's backup kill switch. He quickly dispatches a group of soldiers and a nozzle firing blue-white fire before breaking out of the facility, killing her. From there, his role in the book is the same as the film.
