Gojira!

Gojira, also known as Godzilla, is Japan's biggest, baddest, most famous, mutated monster. The first movie came out in 1954. Here he was pretty mad because something nuclear the people did woke him up/mutated him, so he decided to mess up some buildings and be a symbolic critique on nuclear testing/weapons. He later became friendlier and evolved into a hero who fought bad monsters. In the 80s Godzilla was re-invented as a bad-ass who hates Tokyo. Most recently, like a few weeks ago, a new American version was released (let's forget the other American version, it doesn't exist) starring the biggest Godzilla yet.

Throughout all of the Gojira movies a lot of other monster played a part. My personal fav is Mothra, who is always on the side of the humans. Sure, Mothra larva sound like a locomotive, look like a male body part, and spray white stuff, Mothra is one kick-ass moth-type monster:

Or maybe not so much kick-ass as drag-you-across-the-floor-ass?

Another famous Godzilla franchise monster is Ghidorah, the three-headed monster:
How many of the 28 (this is not counting the American versions) Gojira movies have you seen?
