History Characters / MonsterVerseKaiju

* FirstFriend: The novelization reveals that he was the only Great Ape to treat Suko with a measure of kindness prior to Kong, letting him eat the scraps of his meals and shielding him from being attacked by the others.

[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000012102.png]]

Pack-hunting canine/boar Titans who Kong hunts himself in the Hollow Earth.

* AlienBlood: Their blood is bright green.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: Are pretty terrifying-looking creatures on their own. Kong hunts them for breakfast.
* FullBoarAction: Resemble a kaiju-sized ''Daeodon'', an extinct scavenging ungulate known as the "hell pig".
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: The pack retreats after Kong ''graphically'' kills several of them and shows them mutilating the body of the last one to fall into his traps they run off.
%%Verification? * ShoutOut: They resemble the Wargs from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''.

------
* AmphibianAtLarge: A very large frog with an inflatable throat-sac larger than the rest of its body.
* MightyRoar: Played with. It's small for a Titan, but its vocalizations are extremely loud and nigh-identical to the roars of Kong's species. This [[FooledByTheSound leads to Kong mistaking one's bellowing for another Kong]], only to be disappointed when he comes across the Parrot Frog making them.
* VoiceChangeling: The Parrot Frog is shown mimicking Kong's roars, tricking him into thinking there's another one of his kind. It's likely that the Parrot Frog can mimic other sounds, but this isn't demonstrated in the film

[[quoteright:801:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000011899.jpg]]

A colossal eel-like titan inhabiting a large lake.

* AlienBlood: It has green blood like the Wart Dogs. Although, strangely, its innards and flesh are still red.
* KilledOffscreen: One minute it's fighting Kong while Suko runs off, the next it cuts to Suko being caught up to by Kong who shows up with the creature's beheaded body.
* SeaSerpent: It is a large serpentine Titan that lives in a lake in Hollow Earth and preys on anything that enters its territory. Suko attempts to use one to kill Kong, but Kong is able to overpower and kill it instead.
* StockNessMonster: As a giant reptilian serpent/eel monster residing in a lake within the hollow earth, It does have some similarities to the Loch Ness monster.

* BeastOfTheApocalypse: A tragic example as she is a peaceful titan forced into a villainous role by the Skar King. [[spoiler:Iwi prophecies talk about the Skar King's intentions to conquer the surface world and bring its end with the help of Shimo and her ability to cause Ice Ages, and upon reaching the surface he starts doing exactly that.]]

* DragonInChief: Shimo is actually much stronger than Skar King is, and her presence makes him a significantly bigger threat. [[spoiler:Skar King getting his control crystal destroyed is effectively the heroes' win condition.]]

** Mechagodzilla in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' was a newly-made HumongousMecha and an EvilCounterpart for Godzilla, whereas Skar King is an organic AncientEvil Titan and an EvilCounterpart for King Kong. [[sppiler:More, Mechagodzilla was capable of taking on both Godzilla and Kong in battle through sheer offensive power, while Skar King relies on technique and ferocity, and has Shimo to back him up. Whereas Mechagodzilla's sentience is closer to an AlmightyIdiot that's barely sapient, Skar King is ''very'' aware of his evil and openly relishes in it.]]

* BrainsAndBrawn: A little downplayed. Even though Skar King is no slouch in being an adept and practical fighter by using skillful attacks and technique, Kong clearly outclasses him in sheer strength, therefore, he sadistically utilizes his maniacal intellect by being able to summon Shimo on his side as she serves as the prominent muscle when the 2 of them were later paired up against the might of Godzilla and Kong.

* ThereIsAnother: Was the other giant gorilla that Kong met when he was thought to be the LastOfHisKind.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: While it's obvious from moment one that she's being ForcedIntoEvil by the Skar King, her own morality (and sanity) are a more open question for most of the film. She does however [[spoiler: visibly protests Skar King's orders numerous times, especially when it involves violence,]] which causes him to use the crystal more aggressively until she does as she is told. Making it very clear that [[spoiler: she hates hurting others]] unprovoked.[[spoiler:Happily for all involved, she proves to be a peaceful and friendly GentleGiant after Kong and Suko free her and help her get her revenge on her tormentor.]]

* BenevolentMonsters: [[spoiler: Initially enslaved by the villainous Skar King, Shimo's actions are driven by his control. However, upon gaining her freedom, she switches to the good side immediately. Shimo exhibits no further aggression after Skar King's death and appears content to simply coexist peacefully with the great apes, hinting at her inherently benevolent nature.]]

* CoDragons: She shares the role of Skar King's top enforcer with one of the Skar King's direct followers. She's his strongest minion, but she isn't genuinely loyal ''at all'' and only does his bidding when forced to do so.

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He keeps Shimo in line by using a crystal to cause her pain.

* InformedAttribute: The film itself establishes Shimo as a formidable force. Her immense size, durability, and cryokinetic abilities pose a significant threat, even to Godzilla. Their clashes throughout the movie showcase her power, forcing Godzilla to evolve to a new form to effectively combat her. However, the film avoids explicitly stating her power level relative to past threats like Ghidorah. In the novelization, it is revealed the human characters believe she is more powerful than Ghidorah for simply forcing Godzilla to evolve, and it establishes Godzilla'snewest evolved form is far more powerful than his "Burning Godzilla" form.

* BerserkButton: While it doesn't take much to anger him, [[spoiler: he does get downright irate with Suko for not laughing loudly enough with the other apes at Kong's metal incisor.]] Insecure much?

* BloodKnight: The Skar King is constantly looking to indulge his lust for violence, whether it be through acts of petty cruelty or outright wars of aggression. This bit him back hard in the past, as the entire reason why Skar King was banished into the depths of the Hollow Earth in the first place was because he tried to pick a fight with the surface world, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor and got one in the form of Godzilla.]] Unfortunately he didn't learn from the experience [[spoiler: and by the time he's freed from his prison come ''The New Empire'', is eager to try again with Shimo as his backup.]]

* ChildHater: Very much so. [[spoiler: He threatens to beat and later tries to kill Suko his implied son.]]
* ChokeHolds: [[spoiler: For using a long skeletal WhipOfDominance, that won't stop him for attempting to strangle his victims as he did while battling Kong by wrapping his weapon around his throat by garroting him as the latter is visibly gasping for air. Kong breaks free from his grasp and manages to overpower him.]] [[spoiler: After Godzilla destroys his whip, the attached crystal falls to the ground as Kong tried to grab it, only for Skar King to have his forearm locked around his neck to have him aggressively held back to seize control again over Shimo.]]

* WorldsStrongestWoman: A ''serious'' contender for this amongst the Titans. The novelization reveals that she caused the Ice Ages through her powers and once helped Godzilla defeat Ghidorah. Even when not actively using them, merely being in the area causes the surrounding environment around her to freeze, a state of being that Godzilla has to actively force himself into through absorbing massive amounts of radioactive energy. Skar King's control over her makes his rule undisputed amongst any Titan that opposes him, and whenever his own combat showing isn't enough to bring down his enemies, he falls back on using Shimo's brute force to overwhelm them. Kong is able to handle him well enough Solo, but a single blocked attack from Shimo's BreathWeapon leaves him with crippling injuries that require the B.E.A.S.T augmentation in order for Kong to use his arm again. Godzilla spends much of his time on the surface absorbing and refining ''massive'' amounts of energy to achieve a NextTierPowerUp to stand against Shimo, and even with that, it merely allows him to endure being frozen and match her physically, spending much of the clash between them holding Shimo back from unleashing too much destruction at Skar King's bidding rather than decisively overpowering her. Admittedly, Shimo doesn't deal any major damage to Godzilla herself, and in his powered up state Godzilla can outright undo Shimo's Ice Age clouds, with not much indicating his evolution was temporary. [[spoiler:Thankfully, this immense power is counterbalanced by Shimo being a NonMaliciousMonster who has no interest in actively using her strength to assert dominance]].

* DisneyDeath: {{Subverted}}. As described in the Phoenician tablets, he was believed dead by the ancient humans who witnessed his fateful defeat by Jinshin-Mushi, then those humans rejoiced when Dagon awoke and returned to the sea (not unlike Godzilla's Disney Death in the 2014 movie). Except Dagon had been infested by the Prime with MUTO eggs, which afterwards eventually killed him.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: ''Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire'' has her go from bowing in subservience to Godzilla five years earlier to committing no less than three atrocities in his presence: invading his territory, openly attacking humanity, and directly challenging him when he awakens to put a stop to it. [[spoiler: Sure it costs her her life]], but that takes some serious balls nonetheless.

* StrongerThanTheyLook: She doesn't fully ''seem'' to look powerful upon first glance, but she's proven to be a difficult enemy in ''Godzilla Dominion'' where Scylla has tangled with the likes of Godzilla during their brief scuffle in Georgia where she restrained him with her numerous tentacles to keep him at bay, and has used her several spike-tipped legs to carve through his tough scales that made him bleed. Her prowess wasn't enough to defeat him though.
** [[spoiler:Completely subverted in "The New Empire", where she is killed by Godzilla without putting up much of a fight.]]

* YourHeadAsplode: [[spoiler: She gets her head graphically blown apart from a blast of Godzilla's Atomic Breath right before the title even appears.]]

* ChameleonCamouflage: {{Implied}}. The individual seen ambushes one of the scattered Rockclaw and its skin resembles the rocky environment it hunts in.

* SingleSpecimenSpecies: {{Averted}}. Only one specimen is seen feeding on a Rockclaw, but two more are shown in an overhead shot watching Kong run through Hollow Earth. The novelization also shows several others of the species feeding on Rock Critters.

* NeckLift: at the end [[spoiler: After destroying the crystal that was controlling Shimo, he gets neck lifted by his {{Implied}} father and almost strangled by him, until Kong intervenes in a PapaWolf moment.]]

* OffingTheOffspring: Skar King treats his son, Suko, like complete junk despite his loyalty, so it's natural that he would brand him for death once Suko defects to join Kong. [[spoiler:Cementing this is when Suko destroys the crystal Skar King used to control Shimo, which enrages the homicidal age enough that his immediate response is to grab his son and attempt to strangle him to death.]]

* AbusiveParents: While never outright stated, the Skar King is heavily {{implied|Trope}} to be Suko's father (which would also make him Suko's ArchnemesisDad), and a number of other orange-haired simian babies, as later on in the film, [[spoiler:there's a brief shot near his throne which shows a bunch of female Great Apes holding babies, all of them with the same orange colored fur as Suko]]. Not only was Suko evidently unspared the Skar King's brutality and cruelty based on his visible scars and initial viciousness towards Kong; but during the movie, the Skar King moves to [[WouldHurtAChild attack Suko]] ''purely'' for not joining the rest of his gang in laughing loudly enough at Kong's prosthetic tooth, [[spoiler:and when Suko's beloved caretaker pleads with the Skar King to be merciful, the Skar King responds by feigning mercy for a moment, then sending Suko's caretaker to their brutal death by lava immolation ''in front of Suko''. Finally, when Suko destroys the Skar King's Shimo-controlling crystal, the Skar King {{neck lift}}s Suko and tries to strangle him to death]].

* BeastOfTheApocalypse: A tragic example as she is a peaceful titan forced into a villanious by Scar King. [[spoiler:Scark King used Shimo to create the last Ice Age, and the Iwi prophecies talk about him intentions to conquer the surface world and bring its end with the help of Shimo.]]
