For Alison

Mothra


No monster enjoys more personality and mythology than Mothra. There is so much to her. For starters, her look is absolutely iconic. She comes in two forms. A whole culture worships her, usually represented by miniature identical twins. She has her own theme song. Her offensive techniques are surprisingly varied and deep. And if one Mothra dies, there’s always another one to take her place. Sometimes two! Mothra is the benevolent protector we deserve, always there to sacrifice herself for the greater good. That’s a nice way of saying she dies a lot.

3 point task - Read a book that comes in more than two forms (i.e., paperback, hardback, ebook, audio book)
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU
5 point task - Read a book with twins in it (must be more than a mention)
6 point task - Read a book where more than two people die (3+)

For Michelle

Titanosaurus


Titanosaurus is the real star of 1975’s Terror of Mechagodzilla. But because he doesn’t get the title treatment, he feels a little disrespected and underrated. He’s a very tall monster, with thick, beefy legs. Atop his long neck sits a great dragon face with a cool fin coming out the back of his head. He’s also as lethal underwater as on land. It’s a shame he never got another big showcase.

3 point task - Read a book with stars or a moon on the cover
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU
5 point task - Read a book with the word 'lethal' in the text
6 point task - Read a book first published before 1975

For Alison

King Ghidorah



When picking the number one Godzilla foe, it has to be this three-headed dragon with no arms. What is it about Ghidorah? He’s just so cool, from his first appearance in 1964 to his most recent battle in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. When you think of Godzilla fighting a monster, that monster is almost exclusively Ghidorah. He can fly, shoot lightning out of his mouths, latch onto Godzilla with his three mouths, and do some real stomping damage as well. He is visually and offensively a perfect counterpart to Godzilla, as his many appearances make clear.

3 point task - Read a book with 3 in the page count
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU
5 point task - Read a book with a dragon in it

And the winners are King Ghidorah and Mothra! *mighty roars is heard*

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

For Alison

Gigan



Gigan is just amazing, a kaiju who seems built from the ground up by a malevolent child. He has knives going up the back of his head, which combined with his beak, makes him seem like he started as a chicken. That beak, however, is flanked by two more knives. Also, instead of arms? More knives. That would normally be enough, but no. Gigan also has a table saw coming out of his torso. The craziness doesn’t stop there. Gigan enjoys modifications in Final Wars that turn his knife arms into chainsaws. Because at that point, why not?

3 point task - Read a book with the word 'knife' or 'knives' in the text
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU
5 point task - Read a book with a young child as a significant character
6 point task - Read a book with just a human torso on the cover

For Michelle

Ebirah



Ebirah might just be a giant crab, but he has personality. For some reason, his entire existence is to guard one island and murder anyone who tries to enter or leave it. That’s it. He doesn’t seem to even move. But that dedication to his task is admirable. Furthermore, he seems like an especially grumpy monster, even though he barely has a face. Godzilla literally declaws him, which is maybe more gruesome than he deserves. But also, don’t mess with Godzilla.

3 point task - Read a book with 300+ pages
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU

For Michelle

Biollante



The main thing about Biollante is how visually striking she is, almost beautiful. Which makes sense as she was created by a scientist who combined Godzilla DNA with the DNA of his dead daughter and injected it into a rose. She’s not even all that villainous until the Godzilla genes take over and turn her into a crazy monster. Supposedly, Biollente can never die due to her ability to regenerate wounds and turn into a cloud of spores if things get too heavy. That means she’s still out there somewhere, just waiting to bloom.

3 point task - Read a book by a female author
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU
5 point task - Read a book with clouds on the cover

Michelle
Biollante - 6 points

Godzilla - random.org says 10 points

And the winners are Ebirah and Biollante! *mighty roars is heard*

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

For Alison

Anguirus



Godzilla’s first foe, the legendary Anguirus. Another quadruped, Anguirus has a much more prehistoric look to him, taking many features from the Ankylosaur. He has a long snout like a crocodile and a turtle-shell back covered in spikes. Though he and Godzilla start off fighting each other in Godzilla Raids Again, they spend most of the series as good pals. Aside from Godzilla, Anguirus has one of the series’ greatest roars. A great monster, and a great friend. But also a great foe. Those Raids Again fights are no joke.

3 point task - Read the first book in a series
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU
5 point task - Read a book that has been tagged 'Humor' or 'Humour'
6 point task - Read a book with the word 'Great' in the title

For Michelle

Destoroyah



A fan favorite, and for good reason. Destoroyah was designed as the ultimate Godzilla foe, as he came from the same oxygen destroyer that took out the original Godzilla. In his final form, he means serious business, looking like a big, thick demon straight from Hell. But Destoroyah also starts small, as a collection of little demons that kill humans like monsters from a horror film (including mini-mouths that totally rip-off Alien). Toho needed a monster that would take Godzilla’s final Heisei movie out with a bang. And they got one.

3 point task - Read a book with "favorite" in the text
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU
5 point task - Read a book that is tagged 'Horror'
6 point task - Read an anthology (collection of short stories)
