MUTO Prime

The MUTO Prime, also dubbed Titanus Jinshin-Mushi, is a giant parasitic created by Legendary Pictures that will appear in Legendary's upcoming 2019 graphic novel, Godzilla: Aftershock.

Appearance
MUTO Prime is nearly identical in appearance to regular MUTOs, except for several notable differences. MUTO Prime has a hardened outer shell with razor sharp back spires on it, large orange-glowing forelimbs, as well as several smaller pairs of forelimbs on its chest.

Personality
The MUTO Prime is classified as having the behavior of a destroyer. The titan also appears to have some sort of rivalry with Godzilla.

Origins
"History speaks of it as the "Earthquake Beetle", or the "Dragon Beetle", but one name etched into ancient stone tablets echoes through myth and legend, and we have come to know it as Jinshin Mushi; an ancient adversary of Godzilla with a rivalry as old as the Earth itself. Jinshin Mushi is an imposing specimen with razor-sharp back spires towering atop a hardened outer shell, making it an unstoppable mountain of a tank as it erupts from the earth. Powerful legs strike the ground like a devastating seismic salvo of cannons heard for miles with each thunderous step, digging into the earth to take a battle-hardened stance on the surface against any Titan aggressor it faces. Mythological studies suggest that Jinshin Mushi is genetically programmed to find a suitable host to reproduce. Ovipositors guided by glands sensitive to the scent of uranium in Titan blood pierces the hide with the deadly speed and reflex of a scorpion tail, depositing eggs inside the stomach lining of its slain opponent. Once nested within the muscle tissue, the eggs begin the incubation process. They slowly feed on the nuclear-rich hemoglobin in the Titan host's blood, making the beast unable to replenish atomic energy and eventually killing it. The embryos continue to grow within the body in a gestation period spanning centuries, before finally emerging from the cracked ribcage of a fallen giant as a male and female sub-species with a biological imperative to reproduce, creating a breeding force to consume all life on Earth. We call them MUTOs."

- Cryptid Profile

Bio-terrestrial nature
The MUTO Prime's possesses tremor-inducing legs, making it capable of producing massive earthquakes.

Durability
Unlike the MUTOs, the MUTO Prime has a hardened tank-like outer shell with sharp spires on its back.

Reproduction
Being a parasite, the MUTO Prime reproduces by inserting its eggs into the stomach lining of a suitable Titan host through ovipositors guided by traces of uranium in the host's blood. Then the eggs settle within the muscle tissue and incubate, slowly feeding on the nuclear-rich hemoglobin in the host's blood and eventually killing it by draining its atomic energy. After growing for centuries, two mature MUTOs, a male and female, will hatch and begin breeding rapidly with other MUTOs, creating a "breeding force" capable of quickly overwhelming life on Earth.

Strength
The MUTO Prime's legs are notably powerful enough to cause tremors strong enough to be heard for miles with each step.
