Shimo is a reptilian Titan[3] who will appear in the upcoming 2024 Legendary Pictures film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Text on the packaging of the monster's Playmates figure indicates that she[5] will be one of the film's antagonists alongside the Skar King, describing her as a "legendary ice Titan with unstoppable, world-ending powers" who will oppose Godzilla and Kong.[3] Her existence was first alluded to in the 2022 Call of Duty collaboration with Godzilla vs. Kong, depicted in a cave painting engaged in battle with Godzilla.[6]
Name
Shimo (霜) is a Japanese word meaning "frost" or "gray hair." Shimo also means "hole" or "abyss" in Swahili. Her name was first revealed on a Jada Toys Metalfigs figure at the 2023 Singapore Comic Con.[7]
Design
Shimo is depicted as a reptilian monster with some similarities to Godzilla's evolved form. A quadrupedal creature with white scales, she possesses Stegosaurus-like thagomizers on the tip of her tail and crystalline spines down her back, both of which are a blue color. The spines cover her entire back and thin into a line of spines going down the length of her tail. Shimo is also adorned with many crystals arranged in a crown-like formation protruding at a horizontal angle from the back of her head. Despite her large size, her abdomen and legs are very slim. Her eyes appear to be blue with black pupils, though her pupils are obscured when she glows bright blue. While Shimo assumes a bear-like stance when quadrupedal, merchandise reveals a silhouette of the creature taking on a fully upright posture.[8]

Abilities
Frost Bite Blast/Breath
Shimo is capable of releasing one or more ice beam attacks; the packaging for her individual Playmates figure describes her as possessing a Frost Bite Blast which can freeze opponents, while packaging for the company's Godzilla vs. Shimo figure set refers to this or a similar attack as Frost Bite Breath.[3][9] In the second trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Shimo is shown using the beam(s) to freeze over Kong's axe, and to cause a massive ice storm by firing it into the sky. During the former, the beam creates large ice chunks upon contact. When using the attacks, Shimo's eyes, back spikes, and thagomizers glow a bright blue.
