Name: Zilla; Zilla JR.
Age: 17 years old
Size:
Height- 200' (at the top of his dorsal spines in a neutral stance)
Length- 500'
Weight- 20,000tons
Sex: Male
Personality: Zilla JR. is very different from his late father. Unlike his late father, who reproduced asexually, Zilla JR. is sterile (or possibly can only reproduce sexually and a mate simply doesn't exist, since Niko only stated that there was "no risk of him reproducing"). However, he falls in love with a mutant Komodo dragon, named Komodithrax, and becomes surrogate father to her unborn offspring. Unfortunately for Zilla JR., Komodithrax and the giant egg she laid fell down a crack in the ice and supposedly died.
Zilla JR. is also much more aggressive than his parent; rather than fleeing from an attack, he will usually, like Godzilla, fight or destroy his attackers. For a mutation, he is very intelligent and shows the ability to make moral decisions. For example, he aids Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster in recovering her stolen baby (this is when Zilla makes a "moral decision", although H.E.A.T. member Monique says that it's just instinctual for creatures to work together.)
Zilla JR. also shows some planning and strategy in his fighting style, though this can be abandoned for sheer savagery and straightforward attacking, if he is angered enough. He has even shown a sense of humor, as he splashed members of the H.E.A.T. team with water in a playful fashion.
His most prominent trait, though, is his protectiveness of Dr. Nick Tatopolous. When Nick is journeying around the world, Zilla JR. is never far behind.
Powers & Abilities: Zilla JR.'s signature weapon is his green atomic breath. This is something his father lacked and it sally used to finish off opponents. It has incredible range and heat, capable of melting steel and turning sand into glass.
Another ability that sets him apart from his father is his ability to take high levels of damage. Where as his father was killed by a series of missile strike, Junior is shown taking large amounts of heavy artillery with no ill effects much like Godzilla himself.
In relation to his durability is his enhanced regeneration, allowing him to recover from injuries much quicker than a normal animal, in several occasions being stung by highly venomous mutations and rarely showing side effects, or in cases where he is affect quickly regains his strength.
Zilla JR. has shown on a number of occasion to have a large number of physical abilities. He often over powers other mutations with sheer brute strength. His claws are extremely sharp, capable of shredding steel even while he is still a juvenile. His tail is also an incredibly powerful weapon as well, and can be used to crush and strike his opponents.
However his is also incredibly fast and nimble. moving incredibly quickly from one location to another. He is also incredible burrower, even moments after hatching could quickly burrow through many yards of concrete to escape the ruins of Madison Square Garden. Once fully grown he could tunnel incredibly large distances in extremely short periods of time, sometimes appearing on the battle field from under the ground.
Zilla JR. spends most of his time in the water, descending from Marine Iguanas he is natural swimmer. However is appears he his able to breath under water, once resting unconscious for a long period of time while sick, under the water and is noted by Nick to be breathing at the time. Junior is an excellent swimmer, capable of traveling all over the world in very quickly if need be.
Zilla JR. is shown to be very intelligent especially for a mutation. He has shown planning and tactics in battle and the ability to make moral decisions. He is also shown to have a large brain for his body size, a trait very unique among reptiles in general. As the series progressed, Nick noted Junior seemed to get more intelligent.
Weaknesses: Poison has be been shown to work better on him than most other types of offensive attacks. He is also vulnerable to dehydration, having once almost been killed by this when fighting the monster Medusa. He is also not as durable as say Godzilla and larger Kaiju.
Faction: Earth Defender
Biography: In the bleary summer of 1998, thunderous footsteps shook the streets of New York City, and a shrieking roar shattered windows. Buildings were smashed, landmarks pulverized, fish trucks....eaten? Headlines blared "GODZILLA TAKES A BITE OUT OF THE BIG APPLE!," "KING OF THE MONSTERS IN NYC!," and vendors lined the streets selling shirts declaring "Godzilla Was Here!" and photographs were taken in the massive footprints left in the monster's wake.
Of course, within days, it was all too obvious that Godzilla had not attacked New York, had not dug tunnels throughout the city, laid 100 eggs in Madison Square Garden, or died from 6 Tomahawk missiles on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was instead a beast later known as "Zilla," or "Godzilla In Name Only" by the Kaiju Zoological and Enthusiast community, had chosen the metropolis as a place to lay its eggs and find food (why is subject to question.) Despite the fact that the King of the Monsters had not died at the hands of the US Airforce, they sure liked to believe he did, and the announcements to the contrary were severely downplayed in the media.
Regardless, Biologist Nick Tatopolous knew that there was a very, very good chance that not all of the creature's eggs were destroyed in the blast that obliterated the nest. Leading a small search party, Nick discovered a lone egg. Hatching and imprinting on the scientist, "Zilla JR.," as it came to be nicknamed, began to follow Nick with incredible loyalty and intelligence, proving itself to be not only an efficient and agile fighter, but a benevolent Kaiju at that.
The real question remained, however, as to where the original came from. That answer came in the form of Phillip Roche, and his protégé, Monique Dupre. Part of a French Special Forces sector, the two were charged by their superiors to "clean up a mess" left from a series of experiments conducted in French Polynesia, were 5 "G-Cell Mutations" had escaped after a catastrophic accident (it is believed that S.C.A.L.E., a pro-Kaiju rights organization/eco terrorist cell, was involved in these events).
Nick Tatopolous, forming the H.E.A.T. team, hunted down all the remaining mutations, with Zilla's help, of course. After a particularly traumatic event in Alaska, Zilla was later taken to Monster Island, where he would spend the remainder of his life.. most of it, anyway...
