Godzilla's species is usually a species of gigantic reptilian creatures. Godzilla himself is often depicted as the last and only surviving individual of his kind. However, others of his kind are alluded to in some media.

Origins

In the original Godzilla, it is proposed that Godzilla was a type of prehistoric intermediary reptile related to both land and sea reptiles that had slept deep underwater for millions of years. They fed on deep sea organisms and lived in peace until an American hydrogen bomb test eradicated all but one individual, who was mutated and scarred in the process. Dr. Yamane proposed that the original Godzilla might not have been the only survivor among others of his kind prior to the detonation, but the H-bomb completely destroyed his home and drew him out. This idea is supported by official artwork of the 1954 Godzilla living with other Godzillas underwater before a huge explosion destroys his habitat, killing his companions and burning and enraging Godzilla and drawing him to the surface.[1] After the original Godzilla is killed, Yamane proposed that other Godzillas may have survived to the present day and could be awakened by future nuclear tests. This explains how multiple individual Godzillas have appeared in all of the Japanese film continuities until Godzilla Final Wars.

In the Heisei era, it is theorized that Godzilla was a species of dinosaur dubbed a Godzillasaurus that had survived the extinction of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period.

In Godzilla: Awakening, the prequel to Legendary Pictures' Godzilla, Godzilla was explained to be an ancient life form of the Permian Period that survived various extinction events by consuming geothermal radiation in a hibernation-like state at the bottom of the sea.

Godzilla's origin is greatly altered for the film Shin Godzilla. In this film, it is proposed that Godzilla is some kind of prehistoric sea creature that came upon nuclear waste on the sea floor in the 1950s and rapidly adapted to withstand it.
