godziller

perhaps the largest of all lizards. as a child, i thought dearest godzinker to be sacrilegious, perhaps even obscene, for the god in his name. i was naive then, not yet educated of his loving ways, and his tender embrace.

sometimes godzillus is a man and sometimes he is a computer. my preferred form is when they play up the god aspect. not a divine god, but some sort of primordial, vengeful deity, either in truth or essence.

it has been a while since I watched it, but even in the first movie they offhandedly mention godzilla as a legend of sorts before he appears in the flesh. KOTM for all its flaws did a good job portraying the monsters as ancient gods arisen again. godsworth must be an animalistic god. godzilla in many cases is a mostly indifferent, destructive force of nature. as a god, worshipped, worshipping godziller is like worshipping the sun. him still being very much an animal in many ways makes it cool. he usually has no real goal besides perhaps protecting the earth/natural order, or maybe revenge. not a god because of any benevolent creation or overseeing of mankind, but simply because of his immeasurable power. i like it vague though. shin is supposed to be some sort of strange sea creature. the original is some kind of relict marine reptile. anyways upon becoming godziller the mere animal becomes a god.

i dont know. my original point is that i like all godzillers but for more serious godzillus stories I prefer a more ambiguous origin playing up the force of nature/god of destruction aspects. the 90s films have him as a literal t.rex-esque dinosaur that just got nuked and mutated from the radiation. it's just a bit silly even for godzilla, depending on the godzilla in question. i recall some internet debate over whether it would be more inexplicable to find a fairy or a walrus upon one's doorstep. while a walrus is confirmed to exist, it would perhaps be far stranger to find one on your doorstep than a fairy, as should a fairy exist, they probably would go about soliciting and harassing homeowners with their fairy magic. a walrus, however, despises humanity and prefers the saline waters of the arctic north.

my point is that while in ways it is more plausible for godzilla, should he exist, to be some kind of mere animal, however mutated, given his magical powers and constant violation of the laws of physics, he is perhaps more believable as a god. considering the inexplicability of existence itself, perhaps deep within the silent gulfs of space there lurk godzillers of sorts, awaiting love. i do like a lot of the mutant animal godzillas, as that is basically every godzilla.

this present godzillus is a primordial god worshipped by the heathens of old. he did nothing for mankind and expected nothing of them, but was worshipped all the same for his sheer majesty and power. entombed in his marine frame are the lights of the heavens and the inner earth, his self a conduit for their brilliant destructive potential. not a proper animal by any means, though he still behaves much as one. there was only ever one known godziller, and it is not known whether he is a relic of strange evolutions past, a construct of some greater civilization or god, or perhaps some inexplicably and vastly old thing predating the earth itself. his long dreaming was interrupted by the hellfire of mankind, and its strange workings have seeped into him and made his flesh and skin cancerous and overgrown. awoken once more, he reminds the world of the heavens, the earth, and the majesty of their unstoppable fury.

Great Bumblers are an instance of Paradise megafauna lucky enough to survive into the modern day. They are fairly adaptable animals with a broad diet and so have persisted in many rural areas where extensive wetlands and healthy worm+/wyrm populations remain. That being said, they are of a more infamous reputation than the often-revered Drumjaww. The bumbler, in folklore, is often a thief, a coward, and a glutton. They are considered pests in many areas, as they tend to pillage worm farms, hog farms, shellfish farms, or anywhere with living outdoor meat in general. For all the monstrous inventions of modernity, the local Atrox Sapients are often equipped with nothing but crudely made melee implements, which do little to deter one ton of armor and appetite.

worms, or perhaps wyrms. it was a fairly common practice to rear them in artificial ponds and marshes back in the day, but keeping them in the home aquaria has only really kicked off in recent years. wyrms especially seem to be fairly tolerant of abysmal conditions, and both worms and wyrms are often much more lethargic than fish and naturally fond of cramped spaces, making them ideal for smallish display aquariums. fish are, after all, expensive to import and difficult to keep alive. there is also a sense of pride in cultivating rival beauty within the native fauna, however disregarded it may be.

although in most worms and wyrms the females dwarf the males, the species depicted has mature males as the larger of the two, with enlarged, reddish-colored rostrums to aid in their writhing scuffles for mates and territory. older males tend to develop a brightly colored swelling on their rostrum, which is an enlargement of certain glands used for territorial purposes. as a whole, the species are omnivorous, foraging similar to sturgeon but with a broader diet. adults average a meter in length and are considered good eating.
