Template:Infobox Monster Tiamat, also dubbed Titanus Tiamat, is a giant daikaiju created by Legendary Pictures that appears in Legendary's 2019 film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, as a name briefly seen on a monitor.
Name
"Tiamat" was a primordial water goddess in Akkadian mythology, the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. The name "Tiamat" is also applied to many modern monsters; for example, a five-headed dragon in Dungeons & Dragons.
History
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Tiamat was found in Stone Mountain, Georgia, USA, by Monarch, who built Outpost 53 around it. When Ghidorah calls all the Titans, Tiamat breaks free and begins to hunt with its new pack. When the ORCA calls all Titans to Boston, Tiamat does not arrive in time for the battle and does not see Godzilla become the new alpha of all Titans (except Kong).
Trivia
- The outpost Tiamat was contained in, Monarch Outpost 53, is a possible reference to the 1953 Warner Bros. film The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms.
