In the real world[]
- An asteroid strikes the Earth, causing the KT extinction event which killed 65% of all life on the planet, including the dinosaurs (Excluding birds).
In the Godzilla series[]
- An asteroid hits the Earth, killing much of the planet's life. The population of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures is reduced, but many species do not surrender to extinction. Across the planet, many small populations of such species as plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, and even some dinosaurs (including the ankylosaurus and a theropod species known as the "Godzillasaurus") continue to survive and breed.
- The three-headed space monster Desghidorah arrives on Earth and begins to absorb the life energy from the planet. The dominant race of the world, small humanoids called the Elias, attempt to fight back along side a race of giant insects called Mothras. Eventually, Desghidorah is defeated and sealed inside the Earth, but the Elias are left extinct, and only one Mothra remains alive. (Rebirth of Mothra)
- An alien spacecraft crashes into the sea, and the ship's crew, squid-like creatures called the Millennians, remain trapped within, unable to operate the ship without light from the sun. (Godzilla 2000: Millennium)
