Never thought of that ..im off to take a look..need to remeber 140 pg minimum
Mod
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 a 'crabby' character (irritable, cantankerous, bitter)
4 point task - Read a book with a title that begins with a letter in KAIJU
5 point task - Read a book set on a small island
6 point task - Read a book with a dedication to someone at the beginning
For Roger
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
Im looking for a short 4 or 5 pt.Ive got a 6 but its quite long and doesnt work for my other challenges

Mod
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

Mod
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
6 point task - Read a book with three or more mouths on the cover (can be a combination of human and animal mouths, but they must be easily visible)
For Roger
Orga
A lot of Godzilla’s later enemies transform throughout the film, not emerging as their full selves until the final fight. Orga goes another route, simply beaming down to Earth when it’s time to fight Godzilla. His transportation evolves from a flying rock to an alien spacecraft, but he appears fully formed. This means we don’t get to know much about the monster. He looks cool, almost like a Pacific Rim monster, but doesn’t stand out among other monsters on this list. He does get points for trying to swallow Godzilla, though he learns the hard way why that’s a bad idea.
3 point task - Read a book set along the Pacific Rim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific...
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 "Science' or 'Science Fiction'

Mod
Rodan
Rodan is very popular, one of the all-time legendary monsters. But consider this: Rodan’s design, while classic, is just a bit on the boring side. On top of that, he and Godzilla don’t actually fight all that often. They’re good pals in most of their appearances together. Rodan certainly isn’t a poor monster, but when it comes to the big ones, he’s a little on the overrated side.

For Roger
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.
