The Genitor swarm, also known as Murderfish, are a fish-like superspecies that first appeared in the MonsterVerse comic, Godzilla Dominion.

Name[]

Officially, these creatures do not have a name or designation in canon. "Genitor" comes from the term used for their alpha by author Greg Keyes in the script of the comic, to denote it as the creator and controller of the swarm.[2] Illustrator Drew Edward Johnson calls the creatures "Murderfish".[1]

Design[]

Appearance[]

The Genitor swarm resembles their larger alpha, but significantly smaller and with less exaggerated features. Like the Genitor, they resemble the ancient predatory fish Dunkleoesteus with large jagged fangs, forward-facing eyes, and bodies that are blue and purple in coloration with bright red stripes.

Roar[]

The swarm emits high-pitched sounds written as "skreek".

Personality[]

As individuals, the Genitor swarm has shown ravenous hunger and fearlessness in battle. Despite being significantly smaller than Godzilla, the creatures showed no quarrel in swarming the larger Titan in an attempt to eat him alive.

Operating under a hive mind, the Genitor Swarm follows and obeys the commands of the larger Genitor. However, if their alpha is killed, the hive mind is broken and the creatures will proceed to aimlessly swim around and devour whatever they come across, even the remains of their former alpha.

History[]

Godzilla Dominion[]

As Godzilla checks on the remains of his old lair, a single Genitor swarm swims out and bites him, but is swatted away after failing to break through Godzilla's hide. Not long after, the rest of the swarm emerges and attacks Godzilla. While unbothered, Godzilla senses a greater threat and is attacked by the swarm's alpha, Genitor. In a short battle, Godzilla snaps the Titan's body in half, which kills it instantly, while also breaking the hive mind influence the creature had over the swarm.

The swarm proceeds to feast upon the remains of their former alpha, as Godzilla watches. With a blast of his atomic breath, Godzilla vaporizes Genitor's corpse, killing the remaining swarm members as they were feeding.

  2. Genitor post. Instagram (May 11, 2021). “Genitor is not a name, it is a description-- a gender neutral term I used in the script to denote something like a queen bee +, both the creator and controller of the smaller fish. So far as I know, the species is not named. While the term " sub- Titan" has been tossed around (by me at times) to designate creatures of Hollow Earth origin that don't quite rise to the level of Godzilla or Rodan, I have no indication this is a canon term or category.”
