If kaijus are just thing in our imagination then Kong wouldn't count, cause even though he is not a real species of ape he is just a giant ape, and heisei Godzilla also wouldn't count cause he is just a dinosaur who survived the K-T extinction and got mutated by a nuclear bomb and it is possible for an animal to survive the K-T extinction cause as we all know 84% of marine life survive and Godzilla could have went under water when it happen or survived on land by hiding behind something like a mountain or cliff cause some land animals also sruvived the K-T extinction.

And again Bruce and Moby Dick are kaiju cause they have multiple traits and not just size but instead have a large size, strong physichal strength, and intelligence all at the SAME TIME, which is very rare and almost impossible.

And Dinosaurs are indeed kaijus (well atleast the one in Jurassic Park/Jurassic World) since they have frogs DNA and the Indominus-Rex have multiple dinosaur DNA, and the Raptor, T-Rex, I-Rex, and Spinosaurus hands are not like real life Dinosaur hands. As we can see on the left picture the fingers go down, while the ones on the right go up. And if Moby Dick and Bruce doesn't count as kaiju then Gezorah (Giant Squid),Giant Condor (Giant Eagle), Kumonga (Giant Spider(and a nightmare for arachnophobia)), and Mothra (Giant Attacus Atlas Moth) doesn't count cause they have the same trait as Moby Dick and Bruce (Larger than normal, strong/tough, and intelligent). and before you say that between Mothra and an Attacus Atlas Moth size is very different, MD and Bruce have large size, strong, etc all at the SAME TIME.

Still want to say that Moby Dick, Bruce, and Dinosaurs not kaiju? Yes. Dinosaurs (By Jurassic Park standard OR by real life standards) are not kaiju just because they have some genetic alterations that alter their average hand posture and the amount of feathers they have (in the case of carnivores). That's like saying a change in average hand posture for us makes us monsters. It doesn't. It's at best a unique change.

Would GMOs fit the criteria of being kaiju by the logic of "they have DNA not normally in them", ala Jurassic Park's species of dinosaurs.

The Indominus rex is the closest you come to a "kaiju" and it's still nowhere near kaiju levels because it's basically an amped up T. rex/Giganotosaurus with a Dromaeosaur-level brain. Nothing about it is outlandish, extraordinary or impossible. That was hilariously enough, part of the complaint behind it.

For a whale or shark, intelligence, strength, and size aren't rarities. They need those attributes to be able to perform their tasks properly given the type of prey they can face. It's an oddity if they LACK these, but those who do generally die quickly.

They're nowhere near say, Mothra or Godzilla. Or Kumonga. Mothra is literally a moth bigger than a plane, something that is physically impossible. Literally the size difference between Mothra and the Atlas moth is beyond compare with regards to an average whale and Moby Dick.

Godzilla is a mutated dinosaur (In the Heisei series) who, despite his weight and certain biological laws, is able to walk on land without crushing himself, on top of breathing a firey radioactive blast of energy with enough power to send a monster the size of Ghidorah (someone BIGGER than he is) into space. When he melted down, the radiation he released was enough to make the whole of Tokyo inhospitable, before his son ingested them to revive himself and grow. Those types of radiation levels are the same types that keep us out of Chernobyl/Pripyat. Yunno, the place that can't be inhabited for 22,000 years in most cases.

Kumonga's a spider who I'm pretty sure would be crushed under its own exoskeletal weight, let alone its base weight on land. They're literally impossibilities within our world.
