(ゴジラ, Gojira?), also dubbed Titanus Gojira, is a giant reptilian daikaiju created by Legendary Pictures and (alongside Kong) is one of the two main protagonists of the MonsterVerse, first appearing in the 2014 film, Godzilla.
Afterwards, Godzilla briefly appears in the post-credits scene of the 2017's Kong: Skull Island, making a cameo appearance as two cave paintings and roaring as the film concludes.
Godzilla reappears in his 2019 sequel, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, where he encounters Rodan, Mothra, Ghidorah, and several other Titans.
Following 2019's monstrous clash, Godzilla met and fought against Kong. Eventually, the two form an alliance in an attempt to defeat Mechagodzilla in the 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong.
In Godzilla: Awakening, Godzilla is referred to as a "MUTO" (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism) due to him not having a name at the time.
Godzilla originally gained his true name from the Pacific islanders, who referred to him as "Gojira". In the non-canon novel Godzilla: Aftershock, Eiji Serizawa stated "Gojira" is a Japanese conjunction of gorira (ゴリラ?), meaning "gorilla", and kujira (鯨 or クジラ), meaning "whale", as with most incarnations of the name. Ishiro Serizawa also refers to him as "Gojira", before "Godzilla" is formally used. With that said, most of the English-speaking characters gradually begin to describe him as "Godzilla" throughout the film's events.
Michael Dougherty later revealed that the name "Godzilla" is not the primary name of the monster, but instead a nickname, with the scientific name used within the film's universe being "Gojira". The resulting scientific dubbing of Titanus Gojira comes from the Latin term "Titanus", meaning "Titan", and "Gojira" (ゴジラ, Gojira?, To), meaning "Godzilla" in Japanese.
The Iwi of the Hollow Earth call Godzilla "The Monster Who Ate a Star", and the Iwi of Skull Island refer to Godzilla's species as Zo-zla-halawa, which is roughly translated by Dr. Ilene Andrews to "Great eternal enemy".
Development
For Godzilla's return, it was determined to grant the King of the Monsters a newly revamped appearance that didn't seem radically different from the established Godzilla designs, distancing itself from Godzilla 1998. However, the film producers for the 2014 film were intended for a more realistic approach, and, as such, this Godzilla is entirely computer generated. Lead creature and concept designer Matt Allsopp and WETA Workshop creature designers Andrew Baker, Christian Pearce, and Greg Broadmore were tasked with bringing Godzilla into a contemporary reality while honoring his classic silhouette. According to Andrew Baker, film producers studied the faces of dogs, bears, and eagles to create a more noble and majestic face for the monster king, yet not too cute or threatening or charming.
Portrayal
Godzilla is portrayed through CGI and keyframe animation, with a partial motion-capture performance from T.J. Storm. Andy Serkis, who performed motion capture for Kong in Peter Jackson's 2005 remake, was consulted to make Godzilla and the MUTOs' computer-generated movements more realistic. VFX supervisor Jim Rygiel stated that this Godzilla's fighting style was based on those of bears and Komodo dragons, as they stand up tall and barge their opponents backward with their arms. In the film, Godzilla is seen doing this with the female MUTO. According to Moving Picture Company VFX supervisor Guillaume Rocheron, Godzilla's movements were also inspired by lions and wolves. This incarnation of Godzilla was designed to be as biologically plausible and "realistic" as possible, with the design process being to try and imagine what Godzilla would look like as a believable, real, natural animal.
Roar
Since the Godzilla roar is considered one of the most famous sound effects in film history, sound designers Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van Der Ryn were both tasked with paying homage to it while revamping it and creating something new. According to Edwards, they spent six months over the three-year production experimenting with different techniques such as a pine tar-coated leather glove on a double bass trying to match the initial metallic shriek, the following wail, and the finishing bellow of Godzilla's iconic roar. Using microphones that could record sound inaudible to human ears, the team recorded hundreds of sounds at a 192 kHz sample rate before slowing them down to an audible range until they stumbled upon the combination that gave them goosebumps. The final version that was created was the 50th the team produced. The pair tested the roar on a backlot at Warner Bros., using a 100,000-watt tour speaker array for The Rolling Stones. The roar was powerful enough to rattle pipes and rooftops and was estimated that it could be heard up to three miles away. For this experiment, the crew sent out fliers to surrounding communities warning the neighbors about the potential sound disruption; despite these preemptive measures, however, Burbank P.D. started getting calls and people were tweeting 'Godzilla's at my apartment door!' Additionally, Godzilla can make sounds other than roaring, best demonstrated after killing the male MUTO, and when he collapses to Ford's level, he growls in a soft way that sounds similar to a cat purring. In an interview with Mike Dougherty, he revealed that even though he thinks the crew did a great job revamping Godzilla's roar, he pushed them further to bring it even closer to the original 1954 Godzilla's roar. The latest version of the roar measures 174 decibels. The final version of Godzilla's roar is overlaid with the roars from both the 1954 film and the roars used from 1962 to 1975. In Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla's roar from the 2012 Comic-Con teaser and a variation of his extended roar from the main trailer of the 2014 film was used in the film. Godzilla's roar from the Heisei era can be faintly heard when he was ambushed by Kong during their fight in Hong Kong. In a trailer for the PUBG Mobile and Godzilla vs. Kong collaboration event, Godzilla possesses the TriStar Godzilla's roar.
The top of the primordial ecosystem. A god, for all intents and purposes.
― Vivienne Graham
In Godzilla, Godzilla's behavior is that of a territorial animal, Ishiro Serizawa theorized that Godzilla is the driving force to restore balance to nature whenever that balance is disrupted, suggesting that he essentially considers the entire Earth to be his territory.
However, unlike previous incarnations, Godzilla doesn't blatantly attack or plow through ships at sea simply because they're there, in fact, with larger ships like aircraft carriers, he simply dives under them, even when the military launched a combined forces assault to stop him, he didn't react or fight back, and simply continued to hunt the MUTOs, even when he was being flanked by four naval ships. As opposed to any sort of morality, it appears to be that he simply considers humans to be tiny and insignificant and does not care about their general well-being but at the same time does not consider them worth destroying even though they, without harming him at all, fire at him nonstop.
does not seem to destroy on purpose, even when he destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge, it did not appear to be intentional, but just him reacting from being hit in the gills by explosives. He displays little interest in humans and focuses his attention entirely on the MUTOs. His supposed disinterest in the well-being of humans may be caused by their repeated attempts to kill him, the same attempt that showcased their destructive capabilities. After defeating both MUTOs, he leaves humans alone without any more conflict.
However, Godzilla does occasionally display signs of advanced thinking, as he is seen adapting his strategies to fight the MUTOs and even uses sleight-of-hand to trick the male MUTO into approaching his tail, which he uses to impale him on a fallen skyscraper. He appears to possess some degree of emotion as he briefly looks Ford Brody in the eye when he collapses to his level, which also could suggest that he has at least some degree of interest in humans.
Now grown to almost 400-feet tall, Godzilla stands as king of all he surveys. Initially thought to be a threat, we now understand his potential to become our world's ultimate guardian, a towering apex predator emerging from the mysterious depths of the ocean to battle aggressors that threaten the balance of nature.
The creature designated Titanus Gojira draws its immense power from a bio-nuclear circulatory system that activates when threatened, triggering a neutron flux that travels up its shard-like backspines to nucleosynthetic throat chambers where it explodes into a directed wave of atomic breath. Through this remarkable process, Godzilla's roar itself becomes nature's most devastating weapon.
The Monarch facility designated 'Castle Bravo' was built specifically as a flagship underwater observation base by Monarch to study Godzilla in his natural habitat. Our findings so far have been hard-earned but revelatory. Sub-aquatic audio captures suggest the creature utilizes a range of communication frequencies more complex than anything we had imagined. When not enraged into action, the creature is slow, graceful, inquisitive even.
His size and radioactive signature make him easy to monitor, with scans showing him traveling through various oceanic channels on routine patrol routes propelled by his massive tail. There are sporadic gaps where his signature disappears from tracking logs, and analytics is working closely with our mythography team to determine the cause. Dr. Brooks' 'Hollow Earth' theory is gaining more traction because of this finding and is currently leading the ongoing investigation. It is possible that the epicenter of these sightings is proximal to a previously undiscovered vile vortex.
― Monarch Creature Profile
For Godzilla's return, the King of the Monsters was given a radically new origin story that deviates from the previously established origin of him being mutated by the hydrogen bomb: in Godzilla, Godzilla is explained by Monarch to be an ancient, radiovorous apex predator that has existed for millions of years, existing at least as early as the Pliocene period. As the planet's natural surface-based radiation began to decrease, Godzilla adapted to survive by diving deep into the ocean and consuming the planet's natural geothermal radiation in a hibernation-like state from its molten core. Godzilla vs. Kong meanwhile indicates that Godzilla's bio-atomic biology and abilities are derived directly from the Hollow Earth's potent blue energized mineral which the Titanus Kong built their temple among.
Pre-films
In 1954, an American nuclear submarine unknowingly awakened Godzilla when it reached the lower depths of the ocean, drawing him to the surface in search of new sources of radiation. Godzilla attacked and fed on American and Soviet nuclear submarines in the South Pacific Ocean, with each nation believing the other was responsible for the attacks. When Godzilla's existence became known, the American military began detonating a series of nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands to try and kill the creature, under the guise of nuclear testing. On March 1st, 1954, Godzilla was lured ashore at Bikini Atoll, where the American military detonated their first-ever dry-fuel hydrogen bomb, code-named Castle Bravo, in an attempt to kill him, but Godzilla survives and vanishes soon afterward, and the United States covers up all evidence of his existence. A scientific organization called Monarch was formed to study Godzilla and any other supersized "hyperfauna" like him, and continued to search for him in the following decades.
Kong: Skull Island
The 1954 Castle Bravo nuclear tests weren't tests, they were trying to kill something. ― William Randa Godzilla was mentioned by Monarch operative William Randa, who stated that the 1954 nuclear tests were not tests, but attempts to kill Godzilla. Later, in 1973, Houston Brooks and San Lin would brief James Conrad and Mason Weaver on several other monsters who ruled the world alongside Kong. This included Godzilla, along with Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah, who were all shown to the two via classified Monarch cave paintings.
Godzilla
In 2014, Godzilla detected the mating call of a MUTO, a parasitic life form that lived during his era and laid its eggs in the corpses of his species, believing their call to be a threat. To preserve his existence, Godzilla came ashore in Honolulu to fight the winged male MUTO before it could meet up with its female counterpart and reproduce. Godzilla confronted the MUTO at the Honolulu airport, engaging in a brief clash before it flew back out over the ocean. Godzilla returned underwater and continued pursuing his enemy. The United States military believed Godzilla to be just as big a threat as the MUTO, although Ishiro Serizawa, now a scientist working at Monarch, stated that Godzilla was only present to hunt the MUTO and that he should be allowed to do so, but was ignored. When the female MUTO emerged in Nevada and began heading to California to meet up with the male, the military formed a plan to lure Godzilla and both MUTOs out to a remote island and kill them all with a nuclear warhead several times more powerful than Castle Bravo. Serizawa believed the detonation would fail to kill any of the creatures and warned William Stenz, the Navy admiral in charge of the operation, to call off the attack. Stenz regretfully told Serizawa they had no choice and allowed the warhead to be armed and carried by boat over San Francisco Bay. The male MUTO used its electromagnetic pulse ability to disable the military's vehicles and steal the warhead to be used as a food source for the nest in which the female would lay its eggs. Godzilla emerged from the Bay shortly afterward, surfacing near the Golden Gate Bridge. Tanks were deployed onto the bridge and opened fire on Godzilla while civilians were attempting to cross it. Godzilla withstood the artillery fire until a blast hit him in the gills, causing him to accidentally smash into the bridge and cleaves it in two. Godzilla shrieked and continued to approach the city, where the MUTOs had constructed their nest. Shortly afterward, Stenz talks with Serizawa, and in the process, he finally has a change of heart. Realizing that Godzilla may be the only one capable of destroying the MUTOs, Stenz and the military finally allowed him to proceed into the city. When Godzilla entered downtown San Francisco, the male MUTO attacked him while its mate laid her eggs. Meanwhile, Ford Brody and several other soldiers were sent into the heart of the city via HALO jump to recover and disarm the warhead before it could explode. Godzilla finally reached the nest and roared at the female MUTO, who charged at Godzilla and tried to attack him, but Godzilla barged her backward and pinned her to the floor, planting his foot firmly on her throat. Soon, the male re-entered the battle, and Godzilla ended up getting overpowered. The male kept him occupied allowing the female to ram Godzilla into a building. Continuing to distract the challenger, the male eventually pierced Godzilla's skin and was soon aided by the female. While they mercilessly stabbed a downed Godzilla with their claws, the nest was left unguarded. The soldiers recovered the warhead, while Ford Brody opened a gasoline line, causing the entire nest to explode in a fireball. The female MUTO witnessed the explosion and stopped pummeling Godzilla to rush towards the nest, while her mate continued to pummel Godzilla for a few more moments before realizing what happened and flying off with her. The female roared in anguish and sadness over her dead offspring but became enraged upon seeing Brody near the nest. Before she could kill him, Godzilla emerged from behind her, and attacked with a sudden blast of his atomic breath, buying time for Brody to escape and for the other soldiers to carry the warhead to the docks. The male flew behind Godzilla and pulled him out of the way, allowing the female to recuperate and chase after the soldiers. As the male flew behind Godzilla to try and grab him again, Godzilla anticipates his next move and, with a mighty swing of his tail, slammed the male MUTO into the side of a skyscraper, which impales the male MUTO, and killing him. Godzilla stopped for a moment to catch his breath, only for the skyscraper to collapse onto him and bury him in debris. As Godzilla laid on the ground being buried in debris, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Brody, who was running to the docks. As he briefly stares down at Brody and identifies him as the one who saved him from the two MUTOs, Godzilla is then consumed by smoke. Brody continued onward and reached the docks, only to witness the female MUTO kill all of his companions. Brody approached the warhead attempted to try and disarm it, but it was clamped shut, so he switched on the boat instead of preparing to send it out to the sea where it could detonate safely. Suddenly, the boat's engine deactivated as the female MUTO approached, her EMP field disabling all nearby electronics. Brody drew his pistol and aimed it at her, fully expecting to be killed. Just then, out of nowhere, Godzilla came up behind the MUTO and clamped his jaws down on her neck, pulling her away from the boat and saving Ford. Godzilla grabbed the MUTO's jaws, pried them open, and finished her off in a "Kiss of Death" fatality by firing his atomic breath down her throat until her neck blew open and her head tore off, killing her instantly. After decapitating the female MUTO, Godzilla roared victoriously before dropping her head and collapsing to the ground due to exhaustion. The boat reactivated and began heading out of the bay, while Brody was rescued by a helicopter and the boat exploded with the warhead far from the city. The next morning, San Francisco was in ruins, while military and emergency personnel surrounded Godzilla's unconscious body. Serizawa and his assistant, Vivienne Graham looked at Godzilla, believing him to be dead. Suddenly, Godzilla's nostrils flared and he began to stir. Everyone looked at him, wondering what was going on and Godzilla's eye opened, confirming that he is still alive. Shortly afterward, Ford, Sam, Elle, and other families were finally reunited. Meanwhile, as Godzilla stood up and began walking back out to the ocean, the media hailed him as the "King of the Monsters" and a hero who saved San Francisco. As a result of that, the city's residents began cheering for him. When he finally reached the shoreline, Godzilla let out one last victorious roar before sinking back into the sea and disappearing beneath the waves.
Immense strength
Like previous incarnations, Godzilla possesses immense physical strength and can use his huge mass as a weapon. He can toss the MUTOs around with ease by biting into their bodies and he can effortlessly push the female MUTO backward with his arms (like a bear would with its opponent). The strength of his tail swing was great enough to kill the male MUTO outright as well as knock over a large skyscraper by accident. However, unlike previous incarnations, Godzilla didn't use his arms much to toss them around; due to his combat style being modeled after those of bears and Komodo dragons, which despite having powerful jaws and teeth, use their front legs and claws as their primary weapons. Similar to other Godzilla incarnations, this Godzilla possesses enormous physical strength. His physical strength is greater than MUTO Prime; who could cause earthquakes with her punches; as confirmed by the writers, that he was able to lift MUTO Prime onto his back, despite her comparable size and weight to Godzilla. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla was able to spin and throw the larger Ghidorah with ease and was strong enough to rip one of his heads apart. During his final confrontation with the Apex Titan he managed to pierce Ghidorah's chest with a single stomp. He was stated by the director and novelization to be equal to Ghidorah in terms of physical strength. In Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla could use his Dorsal Fin Cutter (背びれカッタ, Sebire Kattā?) and Tail Hammer (テールハンマ, Tēru Hanmā?) to cleave through and destroy navy battleships effortlessly. In an exchange of blows between himself and Kong, Godzilla was shown to be able to overbalance Kong and leave him dazed long enough that Kong required assistance from the navy and jets to distract Godzilla from charging his atomic breath. He could also swing and toss Kong several hundred feet away and smash through buildings easily, with the force of said swing being sufficient to wrench Kong's arm out of socket. The events of the film also showcased the full extent of how violent this incarnation could be, as well as a more feral side such as walking on all-fours at one point. While only at half of his strength during his battle with Mechagodzilla,, Godzilla retained enough to push Mechagodzilla back after charging at the robot and managed to slam it through a nearby building with assistance from Kong. According to Jared Krichevsky's opinion, if Godzilla was not weakened by fighting with Kong, he would have possessed the strength to fight and potentially destroy Mechagodzilla, at full strength he a bit stronger than Mechagodzilla. Godzilla's arms are also shown to be strong enough to rip off the wings and thagomizers of the Ion Dragon, completely dismembering the smaller Titan before throwing the remaining parts of its body into the Hollow Earth portal. After having to evolve and absorb solar radiation from Tiamat's lair, Godzilla became stronger than his previous form, being able to fight against the significantly larger Shimo in Hollow Earth and later Rio de Janeiro. In his fight with Kong in Egypt, he charged at Kong and threw him through one of the pyramids and threw Kong over his head which looked akin to a wrestler Suplex. When he fought the Skar King in Rio de Janeiro, the Simian Titan tried to attack him with his Whip but during an impressive display of strength, Godzilla catches the Whip in his jaws and effortlessly flings him away and breaks the weapon.
Durability
In Godzilla, Godzilla was stated to have survived exposure to the nuclear tests carried out in the South Pacific in the 1950s, even appearing to have withstood the detonation of Castle Bravo, a 15-megaton hydrogen bomb, at Bikini Atoll while directly next to the bomb. A testament to his durability is his survival of numerous extinction events that occurred millions of years before his encounters with humanity. Additionally, like his previous incarnations, Godzilla showed no outward signs of damage from any weaponry used by the United States Armed Forces, including heavy gunfire, missiles, tank shells, and various other weapons. Godzilla seemed to not even notice most of these attacks, only flinching slightly at artillery fire striking him at point-blank range and briefly showing visible pain after being struck directly in the gills. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla can survive a powerful electrical blast released from Ghidorah after he absorbed the energy out of a nearby transformer, though he did appear wounded by it. He later survived a fall from thousands of feet after being airlifted by Ghidorah, though he is still weakened by the sheer amount of pain caused by the impact. While Rodan was severely wounded and Mothra was even killed by Ghidorah's gravity beams, they did no lasting damage to Godzilla, with him merely being sent backward by them. In Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla was shown to withstand a punch from Kong (which can be compared to a 4.2 magnitude earthquake), staggering only a bit. He is also shown to quickly recover after being stabbed by Kong's axe on his thigh, and after being stunned by Kong's axe when hit in the face, emitting an explosion that knocked both Titans backwards. Godzilla can also endure Mechagodzilla's punches and kicks that have been charged with Hollow Earth energy, and while Number 10 was cut in half by 40% proton scream, Godzilla could withstand a full-powered proton scream with his durable hide, though the scales on his chest were left scorched. can also survive being punched repeatedly by Kong wearing the Beast Glove, and while Kong did stun him for a couple of seconds, it did not leave any lasting damage to him. He was also able to survive being frozen by Shimo, though he needed Mothra's help to break out. Godzilla, like all Titans, can also survive gravitational inversion, a planet's worth of gravity reversed in a split second.
Amphibious nature
Though he is more closely related to reptiles, Godzilla has an amphibious lifestyle. He possesses gills and amphibious lungs so he can stay underwater indefinitely, but he closes his gills when he's on land so he can use his lungs. He spends half of his life in water and the other on land, which makes him an adept combatant in both environments. Capable of swimming at speeds exceeding 60 knots (69.04 mph) by undulating his tail like a crocodile, Godzilla can outpace most naval/seafaring vessels. Maritime scenarios also allow Godzilla's buoyancy to offset his tremendous weight and gain a much greater range of motion than when he's outside of water.
EnvironmentWhile holding the advantage of strength in battle, Godzilla's amphibious nature and large size limits him to certain environments where he has space to move, and as such, is not suited for environments with complex architecture. Godzilla's amphibious nature allows him to function on or sea, although, he is significantly faster and more agile in water than on solid ground. On land, terrestrial scenarios are much more taxing on the Titan's stamina. This made Godzilla more susceptible to surprise attacks from Kong, who could exploit the Hong Kong city environment thanks to his ingenuity.
Excess radiationWhile his species is evolved to absorb radiation, Godzilla cannot tolerate radiation levels above the amount his body can naturally sustain. When Dr. Serizawa detonated a nuclear warhead to revive Godzilla, its radiation combined with that of the Hollow Earth was too much for Godzilla's body to handle, and as such, he had a set amount of time before he exploded "like an atom bomb". However, after Mothra's sacrifice not only healed Godzilla but pushed it further, Godzilla could unleash the excess radiation safely and survive.
Gills
The gills on Godzilla's neck appear to be a weak spot, first demonstrated when he smashes through the Golden Gate Bridge after being hit there by missile fire. The two MUTOs were able to draw blood from Godzilla by stabbing his gills with their claws.
Sonic roarDuring his final battle against MUTO Prime, Godzilla was directly hit by the parasite's sonic roar, which was evolved to resonate at a frequency powerful enough to shatter his dorsal plates.
Oxygen DestroyerGodzilla was severely wounded by the Oxygen Destroyer and almost killed by it (but this weapon that did not have any affect on Ghidorah; due to his extraterrestrial nature) the Oxygen Destroyer forced him to retreat so that he could regenerate, but the process would have taken him years before he would be ready to face off against Ghidorah again, prompting Serizawa to manually revive him with a nuclear warhead.
Godzilla (2014 video game)
A relic species of an extinct organism which stood at the top of the ecosystem that was bombarded with high-density radiation during Earth's Paleozoic Era. It escaped to the deep sea during the mass extinction of all living things in the Permian period. Lurking for eons at the bottom of the ocean, where it managed to perpetuate its species, it appeared on land once again in the 1940s, when it was tracked by both U.S. and Soviet armies. Able to walk upright vertically on two legs, it can survive on land, in water, and below the earth. It possesses tremendous physical strength, and in combat, most foes are overwhelmed just by the enormous destructive power of its long tail. Its ultimate weapon is the heat ray it blasts from its mouth. Although his incarnation of Godzilla was created in Hollywood entirely through CGI animation, the production team put great emphasis on giving it the sense of a costumed character. For the battle in the last scene, human movements were reproduced with CGI animation using motion capture technology, so that the characters' personalities would shine through, allowing audiences to empathize with them. ― MonsterVerse Godzilla Kaiju Guide bio The MonsterVerse Godzilla appears as the final boss of the game when the player reaches 100 meters as Godzilla. When in the middle of fighting jets as Burning Godzilla, there comes a report of a kaiju heading for Godzilla. When the kaiju arrives, it appears to be another Godzilla, which the G-Force commander states as impossible. When playing as the MonsterVerse Godzilla, you only grow in power, not size since this Godzilla is different from all the other kaiju in the game. When facing smaller monsters, the opposing monster will look up as the MonsterVerse Godzilla is bigger than them. It is also more difficult to hit smaller monsters as the MonsterVerse Godzilla as his claw swipes are aimed higher than where his opponent is. The MonsterVerse Godzilla is also one of the strongest monsters in the game, alongside Burning Godzilla, Kiryu, and Super Mechagodzilla.
Godzilla Battle Line
2021 Godzilla appears as the selectable character of the game as part of the Godzilla vs. Kong collaboration. Just like Heisei Mothra, Godzilla uses his atomic breath to drain other players. His nickname also called him, The King of Destruction. Godzilla not only became available again with the addition to Mechagodzilla, but he also became a leader unit. His atomic breath still drains the enemies health like his unit form. His special move fires an atomic ray that can span the entire map, dealing 10 ticks of 35 damage and allowing melee units to be spawned in for cheaper temporarily.
