{{Main|Trilobite}}<br>In ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla]]'', a living trilobite was discovered by Dr. [[Kyohei Yamane]] in one of [[Godzilla (First Generation)|Godzilla]]'s footprints on [[Odo Island]]. Yamane concluded from the creature's presence in the footprint, along with the age of the sediment found with it, that Godzilla must have been living in a deep underwater pocket since the Jurassic Period before being disturbed by H-bomb testing. In ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'', Dr. [[Tokumitsu Yuhara]] created a cybernetic "Mecha-Trilobite." This technology would lay the groundwork for the construction of [[Kiryu]], using the original Godzilla's skeleton. | |||

It emits a mysterious telepathic energy which, when interpreted by psychics and fed into a recording, produces a melody. Whenever Baby or Rodan heard this melody, they received a large intake of power. In the case of Rodan, the energy from this melody was sufficient to revive him following his battle with [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] and transform him into Fire Rodan. | ||

Aoki brought the completed robot to the enclosure where [[Godzilla Junior|BabyGodzilla]] was being held by the [[United Nations Godzilla Countermeasure Center]] and cared for by [[Azusa Gojo]]. Aoki let Azusa ride on the robot with him, but as they passed over Baby's enclosure the robot sputtered and suddenly dropped out of the sky, crashing in the enclosure. Both Aoki and Azusa were unhurt, though the ''Pteranodon'' Robot was damaged.

}} | During the first military operation against the giant mutated iguana dubbed [[Godzilla (TriStar)|Godzilla]] in Manhattan, two looters named Renny and Jimmy were robbing an electronic store. As their crime was being committed, the 1955 film ''[[wikipedia:It Came from Beneath the Sea|It Came from Beneath the Sea]]'' played on one of the store's television sets, featuring the titular giant octopus. Suddenly, Godzilla came charging through the street where the electronics store was located, scaring away but narrowing missing the two thieves with its crushing feet. | ||
| | | | ||
*''It Came from Beneath the Sea'' was produced and distributed by Columbia Pictures, a sister company to [[TriStar Pictures]] and [[Sony]]. Its inclusion may have been an affordable alternative to one of Toho's other monster movie creations in what is essentially a brief visual gag. | |||

By [[1999]], scientist [[Tokumitsu Yuhara]] had successfully created a cybernetic trilobite, which was dubbed a '''Mecha-Trilobite''' {{Nihongo|メカトリロバイト|Mekatorirobaito}}. Using living nerves and tissue from [[wikipedia:Horseshoe crab|horseshoe crab]]s along with robotic components and special "DNA computers," Yuhara perfectly replicated the extinct arthropod, which moved and behaved as if it were alive. Yuhara intended to use this method to revive extinct species and preserve endangered ones. When the [[Japan]]ese government learned of Yuhara's work, it recruited him to use his method to cybernetically revive the original [[Godzilla]] by merging his skeleton into a battle machine dubbed [[Kiryu]] so it could fight the current Godzilla. | |||

A swarm of bats caused [[Gezora]], a monster created by the malevolent [[Space Amoeba (creature)|Space Amoeba]], to break off his attack on a [[Sergio Island]] village. After Rico told the others about this incident, Dr. Miya concluded that ultrasonic waves must be the key to defeating the alien monsters. While searching for bats, Kudo and Ayako were chased by another Space Amoeba-created monster, a giant turtle called [[Kamoebas]]. They discovered a cave housing the flying mammals. The bats' sonar repelled the monster, proving Dr. Miya's theory. The next day, the alien directed Obata to light the entrance of a cave on fire in an attempt to kill the bats. He revealed his alien possession to the others, but an emotional appeal by Ayako allowed his human side to resurface long enough to let the bats escape. The aliens took control once again, summoning Kamoebas and a second [[Ganimes]] to the island to finally destroy the humans. The bats swarmed around the two monsters, disrupting the extraterrestrial influence. No longer controlled by the aliens, the monsters came to blows. | |||

In 1999, the scientist Ryougen Nishiyama warned humanity that if they did not stop the arms race, it would lead to World War III. To illustrate his point, he depicted a bleak future of a world dwelled by the mutated survivors of a devastating nuclear war; the Soft-bodied Humans in this hypothesis had reverted to an animalistic state and fought each other over whatever resources they could find among the wreckage. | |||

Instead of complying to the agreement, corporations merely developed a technique to mask the noxious fumes being poured into the sky. So, after the excessive amounts of pollution and the Gibberellin's hormones, Earth's slugs were mutated into Giant Slugs. Fortunately, the Japanese government wasted no time in eradicating the oversized mollusks, sending flamethrower-equipped soldiers to take care of the creatures. Thanks to the Self Defense Force, every last one of the Giant Slugs were burned alive. | ||

While a crew of sailors was sailing aboard their boat in the ocean, they witnessed the Dragon surface near their boat. Their first reaction was to shoot the Dragon with harpoons, landing only a few hits. The Dragon then swam at full speed toward the ship, destroying it and killing all aboard. | |||

As it bit into a straggler's neck, [[King Ghidorah (Rebirth of Mothra 3)#Cretaceous King Ghidorah|Cretaceous King Ghidorah]] seized it in his central head. Before the ''T-rex'' could be devoured and Cretaceous King Ghidorah could abduct the ''Triceratops'', Rainbow Mothra made his presence known with a volley of Cross Heat Rainbow Lasers, causing the space monster to drop the screaming dinosaur. | |||

Stumbling upon an oasis with a herd of Apceros, the Hunter offers a thirsty Artemis to go to the water first. A Cephalos quickly emerges from the sand and attacks, but it is quickly decapitated by the Hunter. After the attack, he admits to letting Artemis go first as a means to lure it out.

|The Watchuki, sometimes called the Snowmen, were a species of ape-like people living in the Himalayas. Thousands of years ago, humans drove the Watchuki high into the mountains, where they would remain, and become the subject of local superstition. There they discovered a jungle growing in an dormant volcano and used geothermal power to maintain a thriving civilization hidden within the mountain. They mined gems and developed relatively advanced technologies and weapons during their exile, as they kept their large warriors in cryogenic stasis, and prepared for their return to the surface world to wage war on the humans and take back their mountainous lands. It is posited by Dr. Quinn Darian that their xenophobic attitude led to their being forced into the mountains in the first place, but the veracity of this statement is never addressed or confirmed. | |||
When the crew of the ''Calico'' came to the Himalayas, they were led into forbidden territory inhabited by the Watchuki, who took them prisoner. Godzilla arrived to rescue them and they sent the [[Great Watchuka]] after them. Godzilla defeated their champion, but the battle reactivated the volcano and triggered an eruption. Godzilla slammed a giant stone into the mouth of the volcano to stop the eruption, presumably burning the Great Watchuka and all of the Watchuki to death in the lava. | |||

| [[H.E.A.T.]] ventured into the jungle to find some of the spiders and collected a few samples. They broke up into two groups, but both of them were pursued by Infant Giant Mutant Widow Spiders. They got into a great fight and returned to the base to treat the wounded, but then discovered that these spiders were like widow spiders, only larger; this caused them to theorize that they might be a new species. Hicks planned to eliminate the spiders by dousing the island in pesticides, but realized that that would kill everything else on it. The spiders were resistant to almost all toxins, and the Queen Giant Mutant Widow Spider attacked the base. | |||

The prolonged presence of the Red Dust in Tokyo brings forth a crimson plant mass spreading throughout the city, one that engulfs, weakens, and ultimately tears down buildings as it multiplies. Scientific and military experts nickname the phenomenon 'the Blob' or 'Gray Goo', both echoing the hypothetical scenario where out-of-control self-replicating machines or predatory cells consume all biomass on Earth. | |||
| | |||
*The red plant mass shares similarities with the red weed from H. G. Wells' classic science fiction novel ''[[wikipedia:The War of the Worlds|The War of the Worlds]]'' (1898) as well as the future flora / fauna ecosystem influenced by [[Godzilla Earth]]'s presence as seen in ''[[GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters]]''. | |||

Hideous and malformed mutations that inhabit the lowest levels, past the 80th floor, of the otherwise idyllic future city of Harmony Cluster Nine in the year 2299. The origins of these nocturnal creatures are never revealed, but they are considered common vermin by the future inhabitants, who routinely drop firebombs into the lower levels to keep the mutants' numbers in check. When a time-traveling Godzilla is brought to Harmony Cluster Nine by the villain Elmer Mason, the ensuing chaos allows the mutants to run rampant above-ground, violently attacking innocent citizens and Mason's pirate armies alike. | |||

|A corporation known as [[Genco]] created the Godzilla egg in [[New York City]]. They attempted to collect DNA from [[Monster Island]] so that they could combine it with the egg and create the "ultimate bio-weapon." This awoke Godzilla, who ventured to New York City in order to get the egg back. After defeating [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]], [[Mechagodzilla]], and destroying the Genco building, Godzilla retrieved the egg and took it back to Monster Island. | |||

*Thorn towers: asparagus-looking plants that move up and down while shooting lasers vertically. The lasers are colored the same as the player's character, and at higher levels, when [[Mothra]]'s eye beams come in contact with the lasers, she is damaged. | |||
*Vine cannons: plants that are rooted on the ground and have some kind of flowers coming out of them. From those flowers they shoot spinning projectiles that slowly home in on the player's monster. | |||
*Bio-blockades: strange prickly-looking bushes that go up and down from the ground. While they do appear on Earth, it is only in the background and they do not attack, nor can they be hit. | |||
*Bio-cannons: large plants that have a big flower in the middle. They attack the exact same as the pole enemies, and like them, these plants cannot be walked through until defeated. Like the previous plant, it only appears as part of the background on Earth. | |||
*Airborne bombers: flying flowers that shower bullets down once the player gets close. This type of enemy does not appear on Earth. | |||

The bats' sonar repelled the monster, proving Dr. Miya's theory. The next day, the alien directed Obata to light the entrance of a cave on fire in an attempt to kill the bats.

Instead of complying to the agreement, corporations merely developed a technique to mask the noxious fumes being poured into the sky. So, after the excessive amounts of pollution and the Gibberellin's hormones, Earth's slugs were mutated into Giant Slugs. Fortunately, the Japanese government wasted no time in eradicating the oversized mollusks, sending flamethrower-equipped soldiers to take care of the creatures. Thanks to the Self Defense Force, every last one of the Giant Slugs were burned alive.

While seeking safety inside a tunnel from the rampaging Cyclops Creature, Quinn and the rest of the Calico crew discover ancient hieroglyphs that shed more light on the one-eyed monster's past: long ago, a spacecraft from another galaxy, piloted by at least two giant aliens, came to Earth and landed on the island, where the pilots were attacked by the same Cyclops Creature.

Watchuki People |
Godzilla Episode 12, "The Sub-Zero Terror" |
The Watchuki, sometimes called the Snowmen, were a species of ape-like people living in the Himalayas. Thousands of years ago, humans drove the Watchuki high into the mountains, where they would remain, and become the subject of local superstition. There they discovered a jungle growing in an dormant volcano and used geothermal power to maintain a thriving civilization hidden within the mountain. They mined gems and developed relatively advanced technologies and weapons during their exile, as they kept their large warriors in cryogenic stasis, and prepared for their return to the surface world to wage war on the humans and take back their mountainous lands. It is posited by Dr. Quinn Darian that their xenophobic attitude led to their being forced into the mountains in the first place, but the veracity of this statement is never addressed or confirmed.
When the crew of the Calico came to the Himalayas, they were led into forbidden territory inhabited by the Watchuki, who took them prisoner. Godzilla arrived to rescue them and they sent the Great Watchuka after them. Godzilla defeated their champion, but the battle reactivated the volcano and triggered an eruption. Godzilla slammed a giant stone into the mouth of the volcano to stop the eruption, presumably burning the Great Watchuka and all of the Watchuki to death in the lava. |

Ankylosaurus(アンキロサウルス Ankirosaurusu) |
Godzilla, King of the Monsters |
A new species of Ankylosaurus discovered by Dr. Mad Oniyama with the assistance of a version of himself who travelled through time, the Ankylosaurus's fossilised skeleton was placed on display at a dinosaur expo. With the expo in operation, the two Oniyamas used KIDS to fire a beam into the fossil to revive it, resulting in a living Ankylosaurus. Aware that Godzilla would come to protect Hideo Kaneko and his friends, who were at the Expo, the Oniyamas used KIDS to devolve Godzilla into a Godzillasaurus, and the two ancient reptiles fought. With the Ankylosaurus losing the fight, KIDS was used again to fire a syringe full of DNA into the Ankylosaurus's body, causing it to rapidly grow into a full-sized Anguirus.
