Hello there! I was wanting to ask about how to best handle mentioning that Shimo would be the second tallest kaiju in the Godzilla Franchise of confirmed height, behind Godzilla Earth at 300 meters, and Godzilla’s tallest foe of confirmed height as well. When I wrote it down, I was trying to write it in relation to how Godzilla Earth’s trivia section was, and ran into mention of Magita (who only has estimates for her height and hence why I did not mention her initially). If this would not be acceptable, then that’s fine, but it does seem interesting.

In honesty, I don't know if there's any interesting observation to be made. She is verifiably not among the top 3 largest Godzilla monsters even if you exclude Godzilla himself; Tiamat, Na Kika, and anime Ghidorah are all longer. (I think it would be disingenuous to disqualify those just because it's a measurement of length and not height. If Ghidorah positioned itself upright, for example, it would still be miles 'taller' than Shimo.) And then as you said, there are creatures without confirmed measurements who are still certainly taller, so she's not even within the top 5.
The absolute most generous trivia item I can come up with is that she's "the second-largest opponent of Godzilla to appear in a film." Significantly less interesting than what was composed initially. I don't know if something with that many caveats is even worth mentioning.
(Highlight for spoiler)
Also, as an aside, not even sure if the Monsterverse portion of her trivia will survive, if the rumors about Tiamat are true.
Ah, intriguing.
I see, all very excellent points. Thank you for the advice!
