 * 1) Godzilla: Now obviously, Godzilla is THE best monster ever. I absolutely love Godzilla because he's dinosaur, and I really love dinosaurs. While I admire Godzilla's character in all eras, I prefer his character in the Showa series in which he starts off as the symbol of the horrors of nuclear warfare from a country that experienced it firsthand and then becoming the hero of earth as of Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, protecting it from other monsters such as King Ghidorah, along with other monsters like Rodan and Mothra. Between his debut in 1954 and his latest appearance in 2004, Godzilla has starred in 28 movies (the 1998 American remake doesn't count).
 * 2) King Ghidorah: Other than Godzilla, King Ghidorah is my absolute favorite monster of all time. He's a giant golden dragon with three heads and two tails which is pretty cool. It doesn't matter which new powerful monster Toho creates, King Ghidorah is, hands down, Godzilla's greatest nemesis, he is the main antagonist of the Godzilla series. In terms of origin, my favorite King Ghidorah would be the Showa one, I like that he is a space monster that comes down to earth and tries to destroy everything, he's definitely a true Ghidorah with this origin, it also gives Godzilla a reason why to put aside his destructive ways, and why they're both archenemies, King Ghidorah, as a space monster, reminds Godzilla of what he used to be, a cold and heartless force of destruction, he makes Godzilla realize his own faults. Although, my favorite King Ghidorah in terms of design would be the Heisei King Ghidorah from Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, not only because it was the first King Ghidorah I've seen, but also because of how ferocious it looks, just look at that thing! Though, if it had the hair from the Showa King Ghidorah, it would definitely look alot better than it already has. Between his debut in 1964 and his latest appearance in 2001, King Ghidorah has starred in 6 movies.
 * 3) MechaGodzilla (all versions): Not much needs to be said about MechaGodzilla, it's a robot Godzilla, a machine built to fight Godzilla. I honestly like all three versions of MechaGodzilla, but my favorite one in terms of design would be Kiryu and my favorite one in terms of role would be the Showa MechaGodzilla, I honestly like how it's the only monster that tried to ruin Godzilla's reputation by disguising himself as Godzilla and making him look like the bad guy. But what about the Heisei MechaGodzilla you might be asking? Well, it's my second favorite MechaGodzilla in terms of both. Design wise, I like the Heisei MechaGodzilla because it was the first one I've seen because of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee on GameCube, I always thought it was the only MechaGodzilla there is until I've seen Kiryu, who I thought was called "MechaGodzilla 3" at the time, on the internet, and also saw the movie, Terror of MechaGodzilla. Role wise, I think it makes more sense that it was built from the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah than around the bones of the original Godzilla since the original Godzilla's 50 meters tall, therefore supposed to be 5 meters shorter than the Godzilla it was fighting, while Mecha-King Ghidorah's a really big monster, therefore giving a reason why MechaGodzilla is taller than Godzilla rather than being the same size as Godzilla in the Showa series. Between its debut in 1974 and its latest appearance in 2003, MechaGodzilla has starred in 5 movies, even if they're all different monsters in different continuities, it's still MechaGodzilla.
 * 4) Rodan: Rodan is my favorite monster that Godzilla's teamed up with. Like Mothra, he's one of the first two monsters that Godzilla's teamed up with, that's why I like him alot. Rodan's a pteranodon which is pretty cool, prehistoric creatures will always be cool in my opinion. My favorite version of Rodan would be the Heisei Rodan from Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2, it's not only the first Rodan I've seen because of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee on GameCube, but it's also because he looks more like an actual pteranodon in appearance. Between his debut in 1956 and his latest appearance in 2004, Rodan has starred in 6 movies, that includes his own movie as well.
 * 5) Mothra: Even if she is an enemy in most of her appearances, Mothra is still one of my favorite monsters that Godzilla's teamed up with, she is one of the first two monsters that Godzilla's teamed up with. She is the reason why Godzilla and Rodan became friends and also one of the reasons why Godzilla became good in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. Mothra is a giant moth that is divine. My favorite version of Mothra is the Heisei Mothra from Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth. Between her debut in 1961 and her latest appearance in 2004, Mothra has starred in 11 films, that includes her own movie and the first Rebirth of Mothra movie as well.
 * 6) Anguirus: Anguirus is obviously Godzilla's first ever monster he fought, so I really gotta have him somewhere on my list. I know that he would later become one of Godzilla's friends, but we never got to know how they become friends or even how they met, but that does not matter to me, Anguirus is still a pretty cool monster. Anguirus is a four-legged dinosaur that looks similar to an ankylosaurus, I really don't know what he's supposed to be, but he looks cool anyways. My favorite version of Anguirus is the 1968-1972 Anguirus from Destroy All Monsters and Godzilla vs. Gigan, the one from 1974's Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla is the same suit, but it didn't have the fangs, it isn't bad, but to me, it makes the Final Wars Anguirus look better. Between his debut in 1955 and his latest appearance in 2004, Anguirus has starred in 5 movies.
 * 7) Gigan: The interesting thing about Gigan is that he was the first monster to make Godzilla bleed, followed by the Showa MechaGodzilla, very impressive because nothing else in the previous films were able to do something like this to Godzilla. Gigan is a reptillian humanoid space bird with a visor for an eye, three fins on the back which kinda acts like wings I guess, a buzzsaw in his frontal abdominal region and large steel hooks for hands and feet. As much as I like the Final Wars Gigan, my favorite version of Gigan would be the Showa Gigan from Godzilla vs. Gigan and Godzilla vs. Megalon, only because it was the first Gigan I've seen because of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee on GameCube. Between his debut in 1972 and his latest appearance in 2004, Gigan has starred in 3 movies.
 * 8) SpaceGodzilla: Now, SpaceGodzilla is a nostalgic villain for me, I always thought he was a tough monster for Godzilla to beat until I saw the Showa King Ghidorah's movies. His design's pretty cool, he's the evil twin of Godzilla. So far, SpaceGodzilla has only starred in 1 movie.
 * 9) King Caesar: I honestly like King Caesar, he's pretty cool and I love his kung-fu fighting style. I also like that he's able to reflect energy attacks back at its target with its eyes, it's really clever I must say. So far, King Caesar has only appeared in 2 movies, Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla in 1974 and Godzilla: Final Wars in 2004.
 * 10) Monster X: For something like this monster to be Godzilla's last opponent, Monster X is a pretty cool monster, even before transforming into Keizer Ghidorah, he's still extremely powerful. He's a physical match for Godzilla, and I really like the way he fights. And of course, Monster X only starred in one movie which is Godzilla: Final Wars.
