— Theme song from The Godzilla Power Hour |
The Hanna-Barbera Godzilla (ゴジラ is an incarnation of Gojira)Godzilla featured in the 1978 Hanna-Barbera animated series, The Godzilla Power Hour.
It is the first incarnation of Godzilla to be animated, as well as the second incarnation of Godzilla to originate in American media, after the Marvel Godzilla.
Name
The name "Godzilla" is a transliteration of Gojira (ゴジラ), a combination of two Japanese words: gorira (ゴリラ), meaning gorilla, and kujira (鯨 or クジラ), meaning whale. At one planning stage, the concept of "Gojira" was described as "a cross between a gorilla and a whale." The two words "whale" and "gorilla" describe Godzilla's traditional characteristics. The word whale represents his aquatic lifestyle and his bulky size. The word gorilla represents his sheer strength and the strategic thinking he uses when fighting against other monsters.
Appearance
The Hanna-Barbera Godzilla, unlike the incarnations of Godzilla featured in Toho's film series, is entirely green in color. His Template:Scutes are unlike those of any other Godzilla in that they begin at the top of his head, and are more triangular in shape compared to Godzilla's traditional maple leaf-shaped plates. The Hanna-Barbera Godzilla's arms are also very long, human-like and flexible, similar to the Showa Godzilla's.
Personality
The Hanna-Barbera is very similar in personality to the Showa Godzilla, being a heroic monster that fends off other more dangerous creatures. The Hanna-Barbera Godzilla travels with the crew of the Calico and responds to help them whenever called by his "nephew" Godzooky. The Hanna-Barbera Godzilla is very conscious of human life and will take steps to avoid harming nearby civilians and help them escape during his battles with enemy monsters.

Trivia
- The Hanna-Barbera Godzilla is the tallest Godzilla on record, standing exactly 400 feet (121.92 meters) tall. However, he is also the lightest Godzilla on record, with a weight of only 500 metric tons.
- Years after Hanna-Barbera lost the Godzilla license, this incarnation of Godzilla and some of his monster co-stars made a cameo in a DC Scooby-Doo comic.
