godzilla

Like most incarnations, Godzilla is a bipedal reptilian creature with large dorsal plates running down his back. This Godzilla's face is more square, his neck is broad, and is the first iteration of the character to feature gills. His eyes are small with a golden-yellow color, and his teeth are also relatively small and far less straightly lined up as in previous Godzilla's. The head and neck tend to lean forward more and the nostrils are more separate, being located on opposite sides of the snout, creating a more reptilian appearance as opposed to the more mammalian fashion of being far more close together in the front compared to prior Godzilla designs.

The MonsterVerse Godzilla's dorsal plates are smaller than his Japanese counterparts', but still retain the core maple-leaf shape, although straighter and very sharp, creating a more jagged look when rising from the water. Godzilla's claws are black and larger, and his feet are wider, resembling that of an elephant. His skin is far more crocodilian-like, and rougher than the other designs, with a very dark gray (almost black) color. His body and tail are very wide as well, making him appear somewhat bulkier than other Godzilla's.
