Juvenile Godzilla

The Baby Zillas ベビージラ (Bebī Jira) are infant mutated marine iguana created by  that first appeared in the 1998 American film, GODZILLA.

Name
The Baby Zillas are called "Baby Godzillas" in their debut film.

Origins
The Baby Zillas are the offspring of the original Zilla. They hatched out of around 200 eggs laid by Zilla asexually in Madison Square Garden back in 1998.

GODZILLA
They begin to hatch soon after Dr. Tatopoulos along with Philippe and his French Secret Service team first discover them. The team had attempted to place explosives upon all the eggs, but had expected there to be much fewer eggs, and quickly realized the eggs far outnumbered the explosives they had brought. As the eggs hatch they begin to feed on the fish that Zilla had stocked up for them, but their supply quickly wanes, and they begin to hunt down and kill the team, who smelled like fish, instead. The team uses a broadcasting room normally used for television sports events at Madison Square Garden, to broadcast a video message to the outside, and get the army's attention. The army sends in a airstrike, and the building is destroyed just after what is left of the team escapes.

Sometime later one baby survives the explosion with its egg still intact. This baby would go on to be the main focus of the unmade sequels to the American 1998 film, but after the films were scrapped, the baby appeared in the Saturday morning cartoon spin-off Godzilla: The Series.

Trivia

 * The Baby Zillas are often compared to the velociraptors from Jurassic Park because of their design and their behavior. Certain moments during the Madison Square Garden chase are almost perfect replicates of the velociraptor stalking scenes in Jurassic Park.
