User blog:TheShadowAssassin/Monster Appreciation Weeks - Godzilla

I don't think this one came as a surprise to anyone; Godzilla is probably one of the most well-known monsters in the world. Not only is he well-known, but the ealier versions appear really derpy to me. Don't ask.

Appearance
Godzilla is a large daikaiju (which stands for "great monster" or "giant monster" in Japanese) created by Toho Company Ltd. Godzilla first appeared in the 1954 film, Gojira.

Godzilla has evolved a considerable amount over the years, but there are some key features that remain the same. Features such as his largedinosaur-esque form with rough, bumpy scales and large dorsal plates.



Personality
Despite what most people think, Godzilla doesn't intentionally seek out opportunities to destroy everything in sight. He usually has a specific destination he wants to reach, and simply destroys any obstacles that may be in his way, including buildings and other man-made structures. Godzilla pays little to no attention to humans, but instead focuses on more important things such as defeating other monsters. For this, Godzilla is typically considered a hero rather than an enemy.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Godzilla has many strengths, as well as weaknesses.

Most of Godzilla's strengths include the following:

Atomic breath: The ability to fire a concentrated blast of radiation from his mouth.

Nuclear and magnetic pulses: The ability to emit a large amount of atomic energy in all directions for a short distance.

Godzilla has an incredible amount of durability and endurance, as he is seen taking extreme amounts of damage but not dying.

Godzilla is capable of lifting extremely heavy objects, some of which over 2,000 tons.

Godzilla is able to swim for long periods of time.

Godzilla is able to use his atomic breath to propel himself upwards as a form of flight.

Most of Godzilla's weaknesses include the following:

Godzilla is vulnerable to electricity, however, there have been some instances in which a lightning bolt gives him energy or makes him stronger.

Godzilla has a soft spot beneath his armpits (don't we all? I mean, if you tickle me there you'll probably get slapped).

Godzilla's size and bulk has made it difficult for him to keep up with more agile monsters.
