The Servum (セルヴァム Seruvamu) are Godzilla spawn kaiju created by Toho who appear in the 2017 animated Godzilla film, Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters.
Name
The word "Servum" is derived from Latin, and is an gender-neutral accusative singular form of "servus", which can mean "servant", "serf", "slave", "slavish" and "servile".
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.

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. The Servum is 97% genetically identical to Godzilla, and consists of at least two types: the flying-type and the worm-type.
