MUTO

Muto (ムト, Muto) are a species of mutated co-created by Legendary Pictures and Toho that are set to appear in the 2014 Godzilla film, Godzilla.

Name
One of the eight-legged Muto's name is "Hokmuto."

Appearance
According to witnesses of the Godzilla trailer shown in Comic-Con 2013, the Muto were spider-like creatures with long, thin limbs and scythes. However, the Muto's design seems to have been updated from this, as the Muto toys do not resemble a spider.

Leaked toys finally revealed the Muto's design. Its body is black and red. The shape of its head is reminiscent of Gyaos, and it has a triangular jaw. The non-winged Muto have giant hands with "fingers" separated by a considerable length, similar to Orga. Winged Muto seem to have a single red claw, as well as long gliding wings. Both Muto have red eyes and two hind legs, the non-winged having it connected to a sort of abdomen, and the winged having it connected to its body directly.

Origins
The Muto creatures are widely believed to have been genetically engineered by humans, particularity the mysterious M.U.T.O. faction.

Godzilla
It is believed that at least two Muto will attack human vehicles such as aircraft and ships, and they will face Godzilla on at least a couple of different occasions. Nothing else is known about their role.

Roar
The Muto's roar first appeared as an MP3 file hidden in the official Godzilla site. The roar can be heard when the official site loads up, though it is faint due to Godzilla's roar being much louder than the Muto's roar.
