Godzilla Biology

[Ernesth100]

I kinda think the Muto's and Godzilla prey on each others species. Given the leaks.

Well Zack there is the Chernobyl fungus

[Ernesth100]

Radiotrophic fungi are fungi which appear to use the pigment melanin to convert gamma radiation[1] into chemical energy for growth.

So basically steriods?

Uhm...anything else?

[BrollySupersj]

Snowdenzilla, this may sound like a super specific question about Godzilla, but is there descriptions of Godzilla's swimming style? Is it more like a croc with using the tail, or a aquatic lizard with moving the whole body? Any mention at all?

[Ernesth100]

Probably...nevermind.

[Ernesth100]

Probably swinging his tail back and forth as means of proplosion.

The Earth did have higher radiation levels, think of radioactive decay as well. So a creature that uses radiation and is stable for an animal at least, would have to be pretty big. So imagine the dinosaur extinctionary event, a body from space smacking into the planet kicking up dust with radioactive elements from the soil and from the upper mantle so you'd have radioactive debris everywhere. Where would the safest place be? The ocean. So a creature with a higher radiation tolerance from that time period would have to cope with more radiation and probably survive and adapt since it would probably not be that detrimental to them. There also would be place to hide in the ocean and plenty of food, and carcasses on land to come back for.

Speaking of feeding I wonder exactly how much food Godzilla would eat? Like atleast a quarter of his body weight in meat.

[Snowdenzilla]

Approximately nine sandwiches.

Enough with the got damn sarcasm I can only take so much before it begins to piss me off!

This thread is now on my list of failed attempts.

[Snowdenzilla]

This self depreciating thing doesn't suit you. I liked you better as a nimrod.

So, who wonders if Godzilla might hit a nuclear reactor ala G84 in this film? Anyone else think that might be one of the stronger influences as play here?

[Diablojira]

It would be nifty if Godzilla goes after nuclear power sources, as he has done in the 1984 film as well as others (the opening recounting of daikaiju history in Godzilla vs. Megaguiras, for example). On the Japanese 60th anniversary site (http://godzilla.jp) the silhouette of Godzilla resembles the 1984 version, and birds fly past him much as they did in that film. This draft script seems to have used monster physiology concepts from a number of Godzilla films: Godzilla (1954, 1984), Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, Godzilla vs. Megaguiras, and the physical fighting brutality of GMK, and appears that it may have blended them well. We can't yet be sure if the human part of the story refers to stories from past films. Overall, the leaked designs for Godzilla and the draft script show that we should be getting an authentic Godzilla film, not some re-imaginging. I'm looking forward to it!
