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 Roger
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

Mod
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 Roger
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

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'
6 point task - Read a book from the Life Transformation Books list
For Roger
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 an anthology (collection of short stories)
