Monsters (AniGoji continuity)

Monsters or s of the Planet of the Monsters continuity created by are generally unique in terms of biological characteristics known to humanity comparing to monsters seen in previous films and other medias.

History
Gigantic organisms suddenly began to appear on Earth at the end of 20th century, understandably astonishing humanity. The cause of the monsters was speculated to be mutations of unique species triggered by drastic changes in the environment. However, Metphies's view towards this is different; as he views it as nature's revenge towards arrogant civilized species, and it was said that the destruction of civilizations by monsters had happened on other planets as well.

The battle between King Caesar and Megalon inspired humanity the idea of LTF (Let Them Fight) and several or more Titanosauruses that had been studied at Bonin Islands, Japan were used to counter Godzilla although individuals that encountered Godzilla were likely to be deceased.

Biology
Most monsters barring Godzilla had been regarded as mutations of normal organisms and thus were able to be killed with conventional weaponry as long as they didn't appear in urban areas. Thus Godzilla's existence itself was a shot out of the dark, as it possessed nothing more than science fiction-like biology, such as the ability to shoot a beam from its mouth, high stealthiness, and its durability, which allowed it to be immune to nuclear weapons. Terraformed ecosystem by Godzillas including wyvern-type of Servum and plants have inherited several characteristic from Godzillas such as to emit EMP and metalic tissues. There are other monsters, however, to perform notable abilities or characteristics such as sonic cannon by Manda, mysterious scales and strings by Mothras, electricity emission by Gabara, metal-dissolving acids by unknown crustacean-like organisms, Hedorah's existence itself, laser-like corrosive sap and instant regeneration by Biollante, extreme parthenogenesis of Zillas, Dogora's biology, and so on.

Many of monsters in this continuity have been portrayed to be more species-like rather than being an unique and single individual: even for gigantic monsters to have several to more of individuals and hypothetical related species differing body size, and possibly to breed. Some monsters such as Giant Octopus and Ebirah, have been regarded as "subspecies" of monsters.

Monsters in this continuity were said to be able to absorb electromagnetic waves, and thus able to make surprise attacks on urban areas, should they arrive.

All the monsters that fly are speculated to be able to control gravity around the bodies because of physically inconsistent to be able to fly with such size and mass.

It was said that monsters were specifically attracted to urban and populated areas for unknown reasons, but humanity held the belief that monsters targeted humans with a sort of hatred rather than preying on them naturally, while certain species of monsters also fed on other animals.

Monsters, such as Anguirus and Baran and Baragon, were considered to be easier targets to defeat for not containing any pathogenic bacteria.

It was revealed in the Godzilla: Project Mechagodzilla that either smaller types or smaller individuals of monsters can be hunted by humanity for foods possibly with relatively little armaments such as by refugees.

'Friendly' monsters
Battra, Mothra, King Caesar (possibly), and Gigan, being exceptionally powerful even by monster standards except for Godzilla Earth and Filius, have been confirmed to be on Earth prior to 20th century (all the three have been on the planet at least since ancient periods), and all of these, unclear whether or not by own will, have been friendly to humanities and battled against powerful monsters such as Godzilla Earth and Megalon while Gigan's corpse was designed to fight for humanity. These three were noted not to afraid of facing off powerful enemies although it is not unclear whether or not Gigan possessed his own will before or after taking nano metals in, and at least Battra and Mothra and Gigan are able to damage Godzilla for some extents; both Battra and Mothra, said to be able to defeat even Godzilla Earth if the two works in pairs, can destroy large fractions of Godzillas' fins and skins, Battra and Godzilla Earth targeted and tried to devour each other to gain feasible energies to counter Gorath, Gigan in initial state can dodge and hold considerable amount of time against Godzilla Earth's electrical beams, and King Caesar could take down Megalon which caused one of severer damages on humanity even by monster standards in relatively short periods, along with him and minimized the damages on Okinawa.
