The Techno-Sentient (テクノ・センティエント Tekuno · Sentiento) is an alien monster created by TriStar Pictures that first appeared in the 21st episode of Godzilla: The Series, entitled "Juggernaut".
Design
The Techno-Sentient is a blob-like alien life form that possesses cable-like tentacles and a single eye. Its main body is half orange and half beige, and its tentacles are a light gray color. Its eye is sunken into its body, with the crevice being red and the eye itself having a yellow sclera, blue iris, and a black pupil. As it grew it developed a hollow internal structure surrounding a brain-like central unit.
Personality
While it is never explained as to why, the Techno-Sentient was shown to be incredibly interested in learning about all of mankind through the means of the Internet. When it had presumably found all information it needed to know, it decided to attempt to cause a nuclear war between nations by launching a nuclear missile.

Godzilla: The Series
"Juggernaut"
The Techno-Sentient was a mysterious organism from outer space that has the ability to fuse itself with any mechanical device it comes into contact with. After attacking a boy's toy car, a hot dog stand, an electronics store, a construction site, and an express train, it grew to Godzilla-like proportions. It tapped into the Internet and learns about humans, Earth, and the locations of weapons of mass destruction. H.E.A.T. pursued it to Fort McKenzie, where it fought Godzilla, but the United States military opened fire on both monsters. The Techno-Sentient took the opportunity to wrap itself around a nuclear missile's launch tower in order to fire it. Godzilla then pounded on it, causing the launch tower to become stuck onto the missile itself. Although Randy Hernandez was unable to halt the launch, he was able to change the missile's target coordinates so that it aimed into outer space. The nuclear missile detonated far above the Earth, killing the Techno-Sentient and sparing the planet from nuclear war.
Abilities
Absorption and incorporation
The Techno-Sentient, being an extraterrestrial menace, has unique characteristics, such as the ability to incorporate any kind of machinery or technology into its body, allowing it to increase in size and mass. The Techno-Sentient gains the properties and abilities of the technology/machines that have been absorbed into its body, such as when the monster absorbed a refrigerator and gained the ability to launch ice shards, and when it absorbed a tank and gained a turret. The Techno-Sentient also has the ability to disable missiles and render them harmless before they can explode in its body.
EMP Reflection
The Techno-Sentient is able to reflect electromagnetic pulses away from itself, countering a specially-designed EMP weapon that Mendel Craven tried to use against it.
Intelligence
The creature is intelligent to a degree, as it found the location of a top-secret missile installation by utilizing the Internet.
