This page is a list of minor monsters from Toho-licensed media. This is defined as any kaiju, kaijin, animals, or other beings whose roles have little overall relevance in the media they are featured in, and which are generally not trademarked. As a result, this page doesn't include characters such as Meganulon or Meganula, Fairy Mothra, Garugaru, Barem, and Ghogo, who are all trademarked.

Trilobite.jpg
Godzilla (1954)
Main article: Trilobite.
In Godzilla, a living trilobite was discovered by Dr. Kyohei Yamane in one of 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 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.
Giant Lizard
(大トカゲ,   Ōtokage)
Giant Lizard.png
King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)
Main article: Giant Lizard.
The Giant Lizard scared Kinsaburo Furue while he and an exploration party searched the jungles of Faro Island for King Kong. Osamu Sakurai informed Furue that it was only a lizard and instructed him to throw it, then shot and killed the creature with his rifle.

History

The Giant Slugs were created after the human race's struggle for survival led them to the Gibberellin, a plant which triples the growth rate of an average food harvest and the Earth's pollution after corporations disobeyed the Japanese government's efforts to take care of the environment at all costs. 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, the Earth's slugs were mutated into the Giant Slugs. Alas, the Japanese government wasted no time in eradicating the over-sized 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.

  • In addition to a prop of the monster's entire body, special effects director Teruyoshi Nakano also constructed a large animatronic of the Dragon's neck.
  • A popular rumor is that the Dragon prop was originally constructed for the unmade Toho and Hammer collaboration film Nessie, and reused by Teruyoshi Nakano for Princess from the Moon. However, given that Nessie was cancelled nearly a decade before Princess from the Moon was produced, and that no confirmation of this is made in any known official books, this rumor is likely false.

Kraken

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization (2019) Kraken is an octopus-like Titan with "a dense, curving cone of shell" protecting his head. Monarch discovered him dormant in the Indian Ocean, wrapped around a long-missing nuclear submarine, and built a containment facility around him. Studying him, they learned that he had multiple brains and hearts, could change his color and pattern at will, and could likely regenerate any part of his body. By 2019, neither he nor the outpost had been given an official name. Kraken was one of the many Titans who awakened after hearing King Ghidorah's call. He tricked Monarch's containment field into thinking he was dead before launching a surprise attack, sinking the outpost. He was later pacified when Madison Russell activated the ORCA at Fenway Park.
  • Kraken is named after a sea monster from Norse mythology said to resemble a cephalopod.

History

A new species of Ankylosaurus discovered by Doctor Oniyama with the assistance of a version of himself who travelled through time, 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 Miki Hideo and his friends, who were at the Expo, the Oniyamas used KIDS to devolve Godzilla into Godzillasaurus, and the two ancient reptiles fought. With Ankylosaurus losing the fight, KIDS was used again to fire a syringe full of DNA into Ankylosaurus's body, causing it to rapidly grow into a full-size Anguirus.
