* EvilCounterpart: To its prototype, Kiryu, in ''Abraxas: The Clash of Silver''. They're both {{humongous mecha}}s made by Project Talos in Godzilla's likeness as a human means of combating hostile Titan threats, they both break away from their builders' intentions and go rogue partly due to the Zmeyevich's genetic influence, and both are directly influenced by a Zmeyevich from there on. However, where Kiryu has a symbiotic mental relationship with the benevolent Zmeyevich Aleksandra, and he ultimately sides with humanity, Godzilla and the Earth against existential threats; Mechagodzilla's sentience comes entirely from it being possessed by the malevolent Zmeyevich Don and Meg, who side with Ghidorah, aim to commit mass genocide against humanity, and succeed in decimating Hong Kong. Even the mechas' differing constructions reflect this: Kiryu was built by the Apex-Monarch collaboration while Monarch was under the belief he'd be used as an ally for Godzilla in defending the Earth, whereas Mechagodzilla was built exclusively by Apex in secret to commit usurpation against Godzilla and the Earthborn Titans.



* EvilEvolves: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/747230403316826112/ Word of God]] says that he improves his cybernetic technology and fighting technique with every new fighting experience.
* EvilVersusEvil: Offscreen. [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/747230403316826112/ Word of God]] states that he and [[OmnicidalManiac Ghidorah]] are rivals who have encountered and clashed with each-other multiple times in Ghidorah's pre-Earth backstory.



* TaughtByExperience: The author said that he learns to hone his fighting technique with every new experience.



* HorrifyingTheHorror: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/736744231470759936/ Word of God]] says they have some past history with Ghidorah, and whatever it was, even ''they'' despite their nature have since feared the sapient-exterminating OmnicidalManiac for generations; implicitly at least in part because being unable to leave a lasting record of experiencing Ghidorah's omnicide (naturally), renders the experience meaningless to the fleet's culture.

* BodyHorror: They're described as looking like hideous, malformed things that should barely even be viable with life when they're first born. In the [[invoked]][[AscendedFanon ascended]] RecursiveFanfiction ''Fanfic/AbraxasTheClashOfSilver'', the matured Don and Meg exhibit disfigurements, including vestigial, draconic-looking skulls inside either of their chests, which are capable of coming to life and animating their vegetative bodies.



* AdaptationalHeroism: She's firmly on Godzilla's side when [[spoiler:Ghidorah reemerges]], in contrast to how her canon portrayal in the Franchise/MonsterVerse is one of the nastier Titans outright and she's [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder one of the least loyal to Godzilla]] to the point where he eventually kills her.

* AmbiguousRobot: This version of Mechagodzilla [[AlternateUniverseFic doesn't have a Ghidorah skull as its controller]], but it's still clear ''something'' which is related to Ghidorah or Ghidorah's children has some control and influence in the mech, making it ambiguous how much this version is robotic and how much it's a cyborg.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear as of the Timeline's end-point precisely ''what'' the entity that took over Mechagodzilla during its test run really is or how it did so, especially since there's no leftover Ghidorah skull for Apex Cybernetics to use as part of Mechagodzilla in this timeline, but it's clear that the entity has control of the mech's systems and that it's in some way related to Ghidorah and/or the Many. It could be Ghidorah itself, the Many, Don and Meg, or something else.

cyborg. The [[invoked]][[AscendedFanon ascended]] RecursiveFanfiction ''Fanfic/AbraxasTheClashOfSilver'' reveals that the machine has organic Zmeyevich DNA inside it as a telepathic receiver, much like how the ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' version used Ghidorah's telepathic remains, which enables the Zmeyevich Don and Meg to permanently transfer their consciousnesses into the machine, andn it also enables the organic component to turn into ''something'' in order to break out and escape the broken mech.

* {{Cyborg}}: In ''Abraxas: The Clash of Silver'', Mechagodzilla has an organic piece of the Zmeyevich inside it acting as a telepathic receiver, and Don and Meg use it to transfer their consciousnesses into Mechagodzilla permanently. This organic component later mutates into ''something'' and breaks its way out of the mech, taking the Zmeyevich's consciousnesses away with it.



* HiddenVillain: PlayedWith. It has yet to be canonically revealed in the [=AbraxasVerse=] just ''what'' is possessing/haunting Mechagodzilla, but the author drops hints in the Timeline for RecursiveFanfiction to explore which make it clear that it's a Ghidorah-related or -derived entity which intends to continue Ghidorah's work. It could be the Many, Abaddon and Megiddo, Ghidorah itself, or a new entity.
* HumongousMecha: A Godzilla-sized and Godzilla-shaped machine being designed to combat Titans after the Mass Awakening, with a human (or potentially [[HalfHumanHybrid human-ish]]) pilot or pilots controlling it. However, it's heavily implied that ''something else'' which isn't human has hijacked control of Mechagodzilla without its builders realizing.
* MysteriousPurple: It's been established on the author's Tumblr that Mechagodzilla emanates purple light, and it's canonically shrouded in mystery in the [=AbraxasVerse=] Timeline, as described under AmbiguousRobot and AmbiguousSituation.
* PurpleIsPowerful: It's widely accepted on the author's Tumblr that Mechagodzilla emits purple light instead of the movie version's crimson light, differentiating it from the similarly Ghidorah-derived, crimson-glowing and silver-color schemed Monster X in this version. Purple, besides matching Apex Cybernetics' main color motif in the movie, is a color that can represent royalty, ambition and power (Mechagodzilla's builders made it to overpower and usurp Godzilla's kingship so that they could rule the Earth), and also mystery (it's still shrouded in a lot of mystery at the [=AbraxasVerse=] Timeline's end-point, like who its final pilot(s) will be and precisely ''what'' is controlling it without its builders' knowledge and how).

* {{Sadist}}: Gigan is in some ways more sadistic than even '''Ghidorah''' was. Not unlike Ghidorah, Gigan revels in torturing and dismembering his foes and any innocents in sight, looking to have as much fun as possible along the way; but relative to Ghidorah, Gigan is slightly less focused on the death and extinction and is slightly ''more'' focused on drawing out his victims' agony and bodily mutilation as much as possible. Speaking of which… what Gigan turns the sapient aliens that he encounters into makes being mercilessly and gleefully exterminated by Ghidorah look like an outright ''preferable'' fate by comparison.

* LivingAphrodisiac: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/735730101033025536/ Word of God]] says they can emit a pheromone which causes a dopamine rush in humans, and this enables even the ugliest or most inhuman-looking Zmeyevich to seem larger-than-life and appealing. Interbreeding with humans is the express purpose that Ghidorah created the Zmeyevich for, and though the Zmeyevich's own wants vary between individuals, Word of God says that some of them ''do'' want partners and sex.



* PsychicLink: It's implied at the main fic's end that they share some telepathic link to their three-headed originator and can transfer this to their mothers while in the womb. The author stated in a [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/735730101033025536/ lore dump]] that Zmeyevich can telepathically transmit messages amongst themselves, varying from brief words to entire sentences depending on how many Zmeyevich are gathered in a single area.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/735730101033025536/ Word of God]] says that ''all'' the Zmeyevich, once they reach a certain age, begin to fiercely desire something for themselves; whether that something is sex, followers, knowledge, material gain or love varies between individuals.
* {{Telepathy}}: As embryos, they apparently gave the mothers carrying them to term a degree of extrasensory perception towards Ghidorah. The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/735730101033025536/ confirmed]] that the Zmeyevich inherit some of Ghidorah's telepathy which enables them to communicate with each-other and Titans to a limited degree.

* FullConversionCyborg: Kiryu is this as far as we know, being a supercomputer-brained mechanical construct with Titan bones integrated as the basic framework.
* FusionDance: Word of God states that Kiryu will become sentient, and its personality and consciousness will be a Frankenstein of Dagon's bones' faint {{genetic memory}}, the Encephalon's artificial intelligence, and possibly other factors like the Zmeyevich's DNA and/or the connected pilot's mind.

Ren Serizawa switches the original Chip out with a new one in the form of [[spoiler:the Elder Futhark; an act which implicitly will give Kiryu a chance of rebelling against Apex and/or the entity haunting Mechagodzilla, and will likely influence his personality for the better once he gains sentience]].

It could be Ghidorah itself, the Many, Don and Meg, or something else.

* HiddenVillain: PlayedWith. It has yet to be canonically revealed in the [=AbraxasVerse=] just ''what'' is possessing/haunting Mechagodzilla, but the author drops hints in the Timeline for RecursiveFanfiction to explore which make it clear that it's a Ghidorah-related or -derived entity which intends to continue Ghidorah's work. It could be the Many, Abaddon and Megiddo, Ghidorah itself, or a new entity.

Titans have fallen in line under Godzilla, Camazotz disappeared shortly after the Battle at Boston, Mass Awakening, with a human (or potentially [[HalfHumanHybrid human-ish]]) pilot or pilots controlling it. However, it's heavily implied that ''something else'' which isn't human has hijacked control of Mechagodzilla without its builders realizing.
* PurpleIsPowerful: It's widely accepted on the author's Tumblr that Mechagodzilla emits purple light instead of the movie version's crimson light, differentiating it from the similarly Ghidorah-derived
and he reemerges solely looking to usurp Kong's territory for himself.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Unlike in the [=MonsterVerse=] graphic novel, here his aversion to sunlight is put on display when
silver-color schemed Monster X causes sunlight in this version. Purple, besides matching Apex Cybernetics' main color motif in the movie, is a color that can represent royalty, ambition and power (Mechagodzilla's builders made it to break through his storm.overpower and usurp Godzilla's kingship so that they could rule the Earth), and also mystery (it's still shrouded in a lot of mystery at the [=AbraxasVerse=] Timeline's end-point, like who its final pilot(s) will be and precisely ''what'' is controlling it without its builders' knowledge and how).

* AbusivePrecursors: They're a technologically-advanced civilization which existed billions of years ago: they created [[DraconicAbomination Ghidorah]] specifically to wipe out all life on another civilization's planet in response to the latter civilization rejecting the Makers' alternative "offers" one time too many, and the Makers cruelly abducted, brutalized, experimented on and tortured three innocent wild animals to an ultimately '''horrific''' degree to get their planet-ending BioweaponBeast. After they set Ghidorah loose, it [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters became their]] [[PrecursorKillers Precursor Killer]].
* AliensAreBastards: Sapient aliens whom were scientifically and technologically far ahead of today's human race. And they used their intellects to inhumanely transform three wild animals into an apocalyptic TorturedMonster with both the ability and the inhumanely-ingrained ''need'' to inflict [[ApocalypseHow planet-wide extinction]], then they set it loose on another sapient planet to do just that.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: What they did to San and his brothers when the three of them were just innocent wild animals was pretty horrible and barbaric, and it's really hard to blame Ghidorah for killing them all in revenge. The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/645147573238333440/ once commented]] that the Makers probably enjoyed taking [[ShockStick electric prods]] to whatever animal equated to puppies in their home.
* ButWhatAboutTheAstronauts: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/690309147799011328/ Word of God]] suggests that after Ghidorah [[PrecursorKillers exterminated the Makers]] off of the place where they made Ghidorah, Ghidorah subsequently discovered smaller colonies of the Makers' species were alive on other worlds. Alive until Ghidorah got to them.
* CreativeSterility: According to [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/645147573238333440/ the author]], they only had it in them to think of ways to inflict violence – they literally couldn't imagine anything else.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: They apparently didn't realize that once Ghidorah was done annihilating its intended target, Ghidorah with its new capabilities and powers of mass destruction would be all too capable of and motivated to return to the Makers' location and exterminate ''them'' after all the suffering they inflicted on it.
* FinalSolution: They explicitly made Ghidorah the way that it is to completely eradicate an enigmatic civilization on another planet, setting Ghidorah loose on the planet to obliterate everything on a planet-wide scale.
* GoneHorriblyRight: They turned Ghidorah into what it is now to be a BioweaponBeast so powerful that it could annihilate an enemy civilization on a planetary scale, with the [[TerribleTicking Old Noise]] torturing Ghidorah into doing just that until every visible thing on the targeted planet was dead. Problem was, Ghidorah was still alive, and it still had the Old Noise in its heads tormenting it if it didn't kill something. And the Makers' experiments apparently made Ghidorah able to travel through and survive in space to escape the targeted planet. And Ghidorah's minds had every reason to want revenge on the Makers for the suffering they'd caused it.

But that's about all we know.

* KarmicDeath: They, or at least members of their kind with the power to do so, engineered a colossal BioweaponBeast with the power to obliterate all visible life on an entire planet (horribly torturing three innocent animals to form it), and then the Makers set said beast loose on another planet's sapient inhabitants [[FinalSolution to do just that]]. That same beast, vengeful for the torture inflicted on its original animal forms, then turned around and inflicted the same omnicide on the Makers.
* LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair: They were scientifically and technologically far superior to humanity, being capable of interstellar travel and extensively transmutating Ghidorah into the planetary extinction-bringing DraconicAbomination that it is now, and what little we know of the Makers themselves paints them as cold and inhuman in their morality but sophisticated. However, they apparently weren't prepared for Ghidorah turning against them and using the very world-ending powers they gave it to annihilate them – "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/46831738/chapters/122322187 Damnatio Memoriae]]" further indicates that the Makers weren't expecting Ghidorah to be quite as powerful as it ended up being.
* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. They're a technologically-advanced alien race who have a dubious concept of morality, deliberately inflicting a global extinction event on another sapient planet. The Makers' atheism is ''not'' used by the author to paint them as enlightened or rational, given how the [=AbraxasVerse=] continues to run with the ''King of the Monsters'' movie's thematic comparison of the Titans to old gods, plus it's hinted that the Makers' anti-spiritualist attitude contributed to their failure to realize [[DraconicAbomination just how powerful and dangerous their creation was until it was too late]].
* ShockStick: They use what appear to be electrical prods to violently shock the Dorats, both during and after their capture.
* StarfishLanguage: According to [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/653745095218266112/ the author]], the original [[TerribleTicking Old Noise]]'s message which the Makers originally coded into Ghidorah as a "standing order" is almost impossible for Vivienne to comprehend as a human fused with a former part of Ghidorah, although she can still get a sense of the general meaning.
* TranquilizerDart: They fire paralyzing darts at the Dorats in the process of capturing them, bringing the Dorat who would become San down with one.

!Other Titans
[[folder:Skullcrawlers]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Cranium Reptant''

An aggressive species of giant serpentine predators which are normally found on Skull Island, although several specimens escaped into the Hollow Earth's tunnels during the Mass Awakening.

----

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: {{Downplayed}}. The ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' title sequence indicates they've been classified as a Titan species in [=MonsterVerse=] canon; whereas in this story, Chapter 17 explicitly shows that Thor himself doesn't consider Skullcrawlers to be in the same class as Titans and indicates there is a distinct class difference.
* TheBusCameBack: Their entrance into the story at around Chapter [[spoiler:11]], having gotten off Skull Island, is an Unexpected Character moment.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: As mean and HorrorHunger-driven as Skullcrawlers are, the Many and/or the [[spoiler:partly-regenerated Ghidorah]] send them ''fleeing for their lives''.
* ImplacableMan: In Chapter 11, torching them with flamethrowers and incendiary grenades doesn't impede them. Note that in ''Film/KongSkullIsland'', a gas explosion proved to be capable of dealing mortal harm to a Skullcrawler – these Crawlers are just ''that'' desperate to escape [[spoiler:the Many and/or Ghidorah]].
* SoundOnlyDeath: The last we see of two Crawlers is them being violently pulled out of sight through a hole, followed by the sounds of them being mutilated [[spoiler:and assimilated into the Many]].
* WallCrawl: One of them scales a cave wall to reach a hole a significant distance above ground level.
* TheWorfEffect: They're on the lower end from the Many or [[spoiler:a partly-regenerated Ghidorah]]. The antagonists of ''Film/KongSkullIsland'' positively ''flee'' from these new monsters, which dispatch them with frightening swiftness.

[[folder:Dagon (Adam, Raijin) ('''*Unmarked spoilers*''')]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Gojira''

Another male of Godzilla's species who Godzilla knew when alive. He died after being parasitized by the MUTO Prime millennia ago. Project Talos builds a dome around his grave in what is now the Philippines.

----

* DisappearedDad: It's [[LukeIMightBeYourFather ambiguous]], but Godzilla suspects he was the bull who conceived him, although Dagon was never involved in Godzilla's upbringing and was only seen by him from a distance, and it's implied this wasn't unusual behaviour among their kind.
* FullConversionCyborg: If only in post-mortem physical remains and GeneticMemory. See the Prototype's folder for details.
* GeneticMemory: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/736280271902703616/ Word of God]] says that some components of his psyche are still ingrained within his bones millennia after his death, similarly to [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingKong Kong]]'s canon genetic memory guiding him to his ancestors' ruins, and those elements can be transferred and act like a SoulFragment for the formation of Kiryu's consciousness after the bones are incorporated in the mech's construction.
* LukeIMightBeYourFather: Godzilla's has suspected since his youth that Dagon/Raijin/Adam was his biological DisappearedDad, but he can't be sure.
* MechaEnablingPhlebotinum: His ancient bones are the Phlebotinum, being cannibalized as an organic endoskeleton which the Kiryu MK I is built around, with the side-effect that his {{genetic memory}} acts as a SoulFragment affecting the mech's ascension to sentience.
* SoulFragment: Word of God ([[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/736280271902703616/ 1]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/736386104247369728/ 2]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/736371211145216000/ 3]]) says that Dagon's GeneticMemory will likely contribute to the FusionDance formation of the Kiryu MK I's own consciousness and cause it to inherit a few of Dagon's mental tics.
* PosthumousCharacter: He died thousands of years ago, but Godzilla still thinks of him once in a while, and his fossilized bones are being used to construct Kiryu, with Word of God furthermore stating that his bones' GeneticMemory will likely influence Kiryu's own mind like a SoulFragment.

[[folder:Camazotz ('''*Unmarked Spoilers*''')]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Camazotz''

A bat-like Destroyer Titan which attacked San Diego during the Mass Awakening. He's transcribed in ancient hieroglyphs on Skull Island.

----

* ContinuityCameo: He only appears in the main story's final chapter, in the form of photographed hieroglyphs.
* DarkIsEvil: His emergence causes Skull Island's PerpetualStorm to close in and darken the sky, and he's disoriented by [[WeakenedByTheLight sunlight]].
* TheDreaded: The Iwi refuse to so much as approach a cave where ancient writings on him are transcribed, and Dr. Brooks feels a knot in his stomach when contemplating his return.
* TokenHeroicOrc: {{Inverted}}. While most of the awakened Titans have fallen in line under Godzilla, Camazotz disappeared shortly after the Battle at Boston, and he reemerges solely looking to usurp Kong's territory for himself.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Unlike in the [=MonsterVerse=] graphic novel, here his aversion to sunlight is put on display when Monster X causes sunlight to break through his storm.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Fleet's God ('''*Unmarked Spoilers*''')]]
!! '''Gigan'''
!!!'''Scientific name:''' TBA

A malevolent and extremely depraved extraterrestrial cyborg Titan, who commands a horde of demented, spacefaring alien worshippers. He might have encountered Ghidorah before its arrival on Earth, and he or his worshippers might be responsible for a ''Titanus Gojira'' formerly known as Ozymandias becoming Spacegodzilla via infecting him with a cordyceps-like crystalline fungus.

----

* AdaptationalBadass: In most incarnations, including his [[Film/GodzillaVsGigan first ever appearance]], Gigan was the puppet or at the very most the PsychoForHire to technologically-advanced, human-sized aliens who were the true masterminds. In this incarnation, the hierarchy is reversed, with Gigan being the one in charge and the advanced spacefaring aliens being his thralls and worshippers.
* AliensAreBastards: He's a destructive Titan of extraterrestrial origin like Ghidorah, and as vile as Ghidorah is, Gigan is ''at '''least''' as sadistic as it was''.
* AllThereInTheManual: He has yet to appear in any [=AbraxasVerse=] stories or the timeline at all, but his existence in the setting has been confirmed by the author. The Earthborn Titans' encounter with him is set to be referenced in an upcoming ''Fanfic/AbraxasEmptyFullness'' story.
* {{Cyborg}}: He's apparently a part-organic creature modified with cybernetics body-parts, much like his ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' incarnation and like his demented little followers.
* {{Sadist}}: Gigan is in some ways more sadistic than even '''Ghidorah''' was. Not unlike Ghidorah, Gigan revels in torturing and dismembering his foes and any innocents in sight, looking to have as much fun as possible along the way; but relative to Ghidorah, Gigan is slightly less focused on the death and extinction and is slightly ''more'' focused on drawing out his victims' agony and bodily mutilation as much as possible. Speaking of which… what Gigan turns the sapient aliens that he encounters into makes being mercilessly and gleefully exterminated by Ghidorah look like an outright ''preferable'' fate by comparison.
[[/folder]]

!Miscellaneous ('''*Unmarked spoilers*''')

[[folder:The Makers]]
An advanced alien civilization who created Ghidorah to be their weapon billions of years ago… and were promptly destroyed by it.

----

* AbusivePrecursors: They're a technologically-advanced civilization which existed billions of years ago: they created [[DraconicAbomination Ghidorah]] specifically to wipe out all life on another civilization's planet in response to the latter civilization rejecting the Makers' alternative "offers" one time too many, and the Makers cruelly abducted, brutalized, experimented on and tortured three innocent wild animals to an ultimately '''horrific''' degree to get their planet-ending BioweaponBeast. After they set Ghidorah loose, it [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters became their]] [[PrecursorKillers Precursor Killer]].
* AliensAreBastards: Sapient aliens whom were scientifically and technologically far ahead of today's human race. And they used their intellects to inhumanely transform three wild animals into an apocalyptic TorturedMonster with both the ability and the inhumanely-ingrained ''need'' to inflict [[ApocalypseHow planet-wide extinction]], then they set it loose on another sapient planet to do just that.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: What they did to San and his brothers when the three of them were just innocent wild animals was pretty horrible and barbaric, and it's really hard to blame Ghidorah for killing them all in revenge. The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/645147573238333440/ once commented]] that the Makers probably enjoyed taking [[ShockStick electric prods]] to whatever animal equated to puppies in their home.
* ButWhatAboutTheAstronauts: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/690309147799011328/ Word of God]] suggests that after Ghidorah [[PrecursorKillers exterminated the Makers]] off of the place where they made Ghidorah, Ghidorah subsequently discovered smaller colonies of the Makers' species were alive on other worlds. Alive until Ghidorah got to them.
* CreativeSterility: According to [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/645147573238333440/ the author]], they only had it in them to think of ways to inflict violence – they literally couldn't imagine anything else.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: They apparently didn't realize that once Ghidorah was done annihilating its intended target, Ghidorah with its new capabilities and powers of mass destruction would be all too capable of and motivated to return to the Makers' location and exterminate ''them'' after all the suffering they inflicted on it.
* FinalSolution: They explicitly made Ghidorah the way that it is to completely eradicate an enigmatic civilization on another planet, setting Ghidorah loose on the planet to obliterate everything on a planet-wide scale.
* GoneHorriblyRight: They turned Ghidorah into what it is now to be a BioweaponBeast so powerful that it could annihilate an enemy civilization on a planetary scale, with the [[TerribleTicking Old Noise]] torturing Ghidorah into doing just that until every visible thing on the targeted planet was dead. Problem was, Ghidorah was still alive, and it still had the Old Noise in its heads tormenting it if it didn't kill something. And the Makers' experiments apparently made Ghidorah able to travel through and survive in space to escape the targeted planet. And Ghidorah's minds had every reason to want revenge on the Makers for the suffering they'd caused it.
* HazmatSuit: When they venture out into the wilderness where the Dorats live, they wear full-body protective suits which obscure their true features.
* InscrutableAliens: Information on them is kept vague. [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/674216378268549120/ Word of God]] has described the Makers as intelligent but very inhuman in mind and has also [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/730833917979115520/ compared]] [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/674295714930671616/ them to]] the Forerunners in ''Franchise/{{Halo}}''. "Damnatio Memoriae" reveals that the Makers know the concept of mythical gods and deities but they "have [[OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions long since abandoned superstition]]", and it's revealed that they created Ghidorah to annihilate an enigmatic "Enemy" civilization which had rejected the Makers' previous "offers"; making Ghidorah a three-headed SiblingFusion in acknowledgement of both the number of refusals and the RuleOfThree[='s=] religious significance to the Enemy. But that's about all we know.
* KarmaHoudini: Some generations apparently passed the Makers by while Ghidorah was growing in their captivity, meaning that some of the Makers involved in the cruel experiments that had the mandate to inflict [[FinalSolution complete genocide]] on another sapient planet lived and died without facing punishment.
* KarmicDeath: They, or at least members of their kind with the power to do so, engineered a colossal BioweaponBeast with the power to obliterate all visible life on an entire planet (horribly torturing three innocent animals to form it), and then the Makers set said beast loose on another planet's sapient inhabitants [[FinalSolution to do just that]]. That same beast, vengeful for the torture inflicted on its original animal forms, then turned around and inflicted the same omnicide on the Makers.
* LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair: They were scientifically and technologically far superior to humanity, being capable of interstellar travel and extensively transmutating Ghidorah into the planetary extinction-bringing DraconicAbomination that it is now, and what little we know of the Makers themselves paints them as cold and inhuman in their morality but sophisticated. However, they apparently weren't prepared for Ghidorah turning against them and using the very world-ending powers they gave it to annihilate them – "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/46831738/chapters/122322187 Damnatio Memoriae]]" further indicates that the Makers weren't expecting Ghidorah to be quite as powerful as it ended up being.
* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. They're a technologically-advanced alien race who have a dubious concept of morality, deliberately inflicting a global extinction event on another sapient planet. The Makers' atheism is ''not'' used by the author to paint them as enlightened or rational, given how the [=AbraxasVerse=] continues to run with the ''King of the Monsters'' movie's thematic comparison of the Titans to old gods, plus it's hinted that the Makers' anti-spiritualist attitude contributed to their failure to realize [[DraconicAbomination just how powerful and dangerous their creation was until it was too late]].
* ShockStick: They use what appear to be electrical prods to violently shock the Dorats, both during and after their capture.

* WouldHurtAChild: Specifically, Would Hurt a [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals Baby Animal]]. "Damnatio Memoriae" confirms that the Dorats they turned into Ghidorah were still small juveniles of their species when the Makers violently captured them and started cruelly experimenting on them.

[[folder:The Fleet]]

Technologically-advanced and space-faring but utterly deranged alien beings in the service of Gigan, who they worship as a god. Gigan might be responsible for driving them to their deranged mindsets. They might be responsible for a ''Titanus Gojira'' formerly known as Ozymandias becoming Spacegodzilla via infecting him with a cordyceps-like crystalline fungus.

----

* AliensAreBastards: Horrific, self-mutilating {{sense freak}}s which worship [[{{Sadist}} Gigan]] and support his incursions and atrocities on other innocent worlds. Although it's implied they might have been forcibly turned into this by Gigan when he invaded their original homeworld(s) rather than having always been this way or chosen it.
* AllThereInTheManual: They have yet to appear in any [=AbraxasVerse=] stories or the timeline at all, but their existence in the setting has been confirmed by the author. Their invasion of Earth is set to be referenced in an upcoming ''Fanfic/AbraxasEmptyFullness'' story.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: As [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/735206743682990080/ explained by the author]], they genuinely believe that experiencing as much pain and pleasure as possible to build up their experiences of every sensation possible is the key to a life well-lived.
* BodyHorror: They modify themselves with genetic alterations and cybernetic implants throughout their entire lives to heighten their sensations, to the point where they're almost unrecognizable as the single or multiple species that they originally hailed from.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: {{Inverted}}. The cybernetics that they integrate into themselves are specifically added to ''heighten'' sensations rather than in any way take away from them, since these aliens believe that to lose any sensation is to lose one's self.
* {{Cyborg}}: They modify themselves with a mix of genetic alterations and cybernetic implants throughout their lives (the latter in particular they take on in imitation and admiration of Gigan), to the point where they're almost unrecognizable as whatever species they originally hailed from in its or their natural state(s).
* DesignerBabies: These creatures' BodyHorror modifications? Offspring receive their first ones in utero.
* FlayingAlive: The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/735206743682990080/ says]] that when one of their own kind is on the point of death, their brethren peels their skin off them ''while they're still alive'' to be sown into a family tapestry, and they even use the dying alien's cybernetics and life-supporting chemicals to ''heighten'' the sensations.
* GenuineHumanHide: A variation. They have a custom where they make leather tapestries representing their family trees out of the skin of their deceased relatives. And they take that skin off for the tapestry ''[[FlayingAlive before]]'' [[FlayingAlive they're dead]].
* SenseFreak: They believe that the best way to live one's life is by experiencing as many sensations both positive and negative as possible. To the point where they extensively modify themselves and their offspring with cybernetic implants and genetic experiments to ''heighten'' sensation, and they literally allow themselves in their dying moments to be {{flayed alive}} while ''under the influence of '''sensation-heightening''' chemicals and implants''.

* FeelNoPain: Implicitly {{downplayed|Trope}} in their case. Injuries which would at least stun a living Titan with pain for a few moments have a much shorter-term effect on the Many if any.

"Damnatio Memoriae" reveals that the Makers know the concept of mythical gods and deities but they "have [[OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions long since abandoned superstition]]", and it's revealed that they created Ghidorah to annihilate an enigmatic "Enemy" civilization which had rejected the Makers' previous "offers"; making Ghidorah a three-headed SibingFusion in acknowledgement of both the number of refusals and the RuleOfThree[='s=] religious significance to the Enemy. But that's about all we know.
* KarmaHoudini: Some generations apparently passed the Makers by while Ghidorah was growing in their captivity, meaning that some of the Makers involved in the cruel experiments that had the mandate to inflict [[FinalSolution complete genocide]] on another sapient planet lived and died without facing punishment.

* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. They're a technologically-advanced alien race who have a dubious concept of morality, deliberately inflicting a global extinction event on another sapient planet. The Makers' atheism is ''not'' used by the author to paint them as enlightened or rational: quite the opposite, given how the [=AbraxasVerse=] continues to run with the ''King of the Monsters'' movie's thematic comparison of the Titans to old gods, plus it's hinted that the Makers' anti-spiritualist attitude contributed to their failure to realize [[DraconicAbomination just how powerful and dangerous their creation was until it was too late]].

* StarfishLanguage: According to [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/653745095218266112/ the author]], the original [[TerribleTicking Old Noise]]'s message which they originally coded into Ghidorah as a "standing order" is almost impossible for Vivienne to comprehend as a human fused with a former part of Ghidorah, although she can still get a sense of the general meaning.

* AbusivePrecursors: They're a technologically-advanced civilization which existed billions of years ago: they created [[DraconicAbomination Ghidorah]] specifically to wipe out all life on another civilization's planet in response to the latter civilization rejecting the Makers' alternative "offers" one time too many, and the Makers cruelly abducted, brutalized, experimented on and tortured three innocent wild animals to an ultimately '''horrific''' degree to get their planet-ending BioweaponBeast.

* ButWhatAboutTheAstronauts: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/690309147799011328/ Word of God]] suggests that after Ghidorah [[PrecursorKillers exterminated the Makers]] off of the place where they made Ghidorah, Ghidorah subsequently discovered smaller colonies of the Makers' species were alive on other worlds. Alive until Ghidorah got to them.
* CreativeSterility: According to [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/645147573238333440/ the author]], they only had it in them to think of ways to inflict violence – they literally couldn't imagine anything else.

* FinalSolution: They explicitly made Ghidorah the way that it is to completely eradicate an enigmatic civilization on another planet, setting Ghidorah loose on the planet to obliterate everything on a planet-wide scale.
* GoneHorriblyRight: They turned Ghidorah into what it is now to be a BioweaponBeast so powerful that it could annihilate an enemy civilization on a planetary scale, with the [[TerribleTicking Old Noise]] torturing Ghidorah into doing just that until every visible thing on the targeted planet was dead. Problem was, Ghidorah was still alive, and it still had the Old Noise in its heads tormenting it if it didn't kill something. And the Makers' experiments apparently made Ghidorah able to travel through and survive in space to escape the targeted planet. And Ghidorah's minds had every reason to want revenge on the Makers for the suffering they'd caused it.
* HazmatSuit: When they venture out into the wilderness where the Dorats live, they were full-body protective suits which obscure their true features.
* KarmicDeath: They, or at least members of their kind with the power to do so, engineered a colossal BioweaponBeast with the power to obliterate all visible life on an entire planet (horribly torturing three innocent animals to form it), and then the Makers set said beast loose on another planet's sapient inhabitants [[FinalSolution to do just that]]. That same beast, vengeful for the torture inflicted on its original animal forms, then turned around and inflicted the same omnicide on the Makers.
* LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair: They were scientifically and technologically far superior to humanity, being capable of interstellar travel and extensively transmutating Ghidorah into the planetary extinction-bringing DraconicAbomination that it is now, and what little we know of the Makers themselves paints them as cold and inhuman in their morality but sophisticated. However, they apparently weren't prepared for Ghidorah turning against them and using the very world-ending powers they gave it to annihilate them – "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/46831738/chapters/122322187 Damnatio Memoriae]]" further indicates that the Makers weren't expecting Ghidorah to be quite as powerful as it ended up being.
* ShockStick: They use what appear to be electrical prods to violently shock the Dorats, both during and after their capture.
* TranquilizerDart: They fire paralyzing darts at the Dorats in the process of capturing them, bringing the Dorat who would become San down with one.
* WouldHurtAChild: Specifically, Would Hurt a [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals Baby Animal]]. "Damnatio Memoriae" confirms that the Dorats they turned into Ghidorah were still small juveniles of their species when the Makers violently captured them and started torturously experimenting on them.
