The Servum (セルヴァム are Seruvamu)Godzilla spawn kaiju created by Toho who appear in the 2017 animated Godzilla film, GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters.
Name
The Servum's name is derived from Latin, and is the gender-neutral accusative singular form of "servus," which means "servant" or "slave." They are never referred to by name in GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters nor GODZILLA: City on the Edge of Battle, but rather simply addressed as "them" or "those things," though they are at one point referred to as "lizard things." When Adam Bindewald reports to Mulu-Elu Galu-Gu following the Servums' attack on company A and Eliott Leland's subsequent orders, he describes them as "smaller, Godzilla-like creatures" (ゴジラ派生の小型生物).
The Servum's types are denoted as Worm-type (ワーム型 and Flying-type Wāmu-gata) (飛翔型, or Pterosaur-type Hishō-gata) (翼竜型 Yokuryū-gata)
Design
The flying-type Servum has a thin, dark blue body with bumpy skin. It possesses two dragon-like wings on its back, which is lined from head to tail with pointed spikes. The Servum also possesses two thin hind legs and very small arms. The Servum's head sits atop a long neck, and has a long snout with a tooth-filled mouth. The Servum possesses multiple red eyes. An individual giant flying-type Servum much larger than the others appears exclusively in the GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters manga adaptation.
Origins
The Servum is a "subspecies" of Godzilla, and one of the creatures that inhabits the Earth's ecosystem 20,000 years into the future.[3] The Servum is 97% genetically identical to Godzilla, and consists of at least two types: the flying-type and the worm-type.
History
Post-Millennium Series
GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters
When a team of humans arrived on the Earth 20,000 years after humanity abandoned the planet to Godzilla, one of their companies was assaulted by a group of flying-type Servum. The beasts were eventually defeated, but not before killing multiple crew members and wrecking the engines of some of the crew's Landing Ships, leaving them stranded on the planet. Martin Lazzari analyzed the carcass of a Servum, and determined that it was very similar to the strange new plant life on the planet, as both had evolved under the influence of Godzilla's DNA. Later, during the humans' desperate battle against Godzilla, a flock of flying-type Servum attacked the fleet of Hover Bikes led by Rilu-Elu Belu-Be and Adam Bindewald. The pilots were able to kill some of the Servum and evade the rest, and continued the battle against Godzilla.
After Godzilla was destroyed, a huge earthquake struck the Tanzawa Forest area, causing several nearby Servum to take flight. The source of this earthquake was none other than the original Godzilla, now grown to over 300 meters in height.
GODZILLA: City on the Edge of Battle
When Haruo was chasing Miana to talk with her, he fell into a foggy area surrounded by tentacles, but he got out of there thanks to Miana's help, and looked up to where some Flying-Type Servum were, seeing the risk in where he was. Later, when Haruo has reunited with Mulu-Elu Galu-Gu, Yuko Tani, Adam Bindewald and Marco Ghione, Yuko moved away from the group, and ended up falling into the same foggy area Haruo had fallen earlier. She called for help as soon as the tentacles on the ground started dragging her down. The group came to aid Yuko, who was being attacked by Worm-Type Servum. Haruo and the others started shooting at the Servum, and they succesfully rescued Yuko. Soon after that, the Flying-Type Servum that were flying over the area flew down to start feeding on the dead Worm-Type Servum, and noticed the presence of Haruo's group. Some of the Servum were killed by the group's shots, but some Servum got close to Haruo. Suddenly, Metphies, using a Multipodal Battery, quickly exterminated the Servum and saved Haruo and the other's lives. Some time after that, Haruo and the group sighted the Mechagodzilla City, but before they could reach it, they were attacked by a couple of Flying-Type Servum, who were are impaled by Nanometal spikes (controlled by the Mechagodzilla City) and covered in Nanometal after they tried to attack the group.

Episode #5
A squad of United Earth soldiers came under siege by a swarm of Servum, but were able to repel them using a Powered Suit. However, a gigantic variant of the creatures appeared before Rilu-Elu Belu-Be. An injured soldier, who Belu-Be had been helping get to safety, fell to the ground and was stomped on by the giant Servum, killing the man instantaneously. With the beast looming over Belu-Be, it prepared to attack him but was knocked to the ground by a shot from a Multipodal Battery, piloted by Eliott Leland. As Leland remarked to the monster not to underestimate him, he fired several more blasts, dealing massive damage and prompting the Servum to attempt to flee. A nearby Landing Ship charged up for a blast, however, and killed the monster overhead with one piercing shot. The giant Servum then crashed to the ground, with a large hole straight through the center of its carcass.
