Took wayyy longer then i thought but! the next kaiju monster hunter fusion... Dalamadorah!

[inferno-0]

okay, I been having this idea I don't know if you will like it, since is not a ship, buuuuut

I like to imagine a child or toodler! Reader, whose family was negligent with them, making them being alone all the time, one day, running away from home, finding a kaiju and getting attached to it, follow it around, like, finding the parent they never have, how the kaijus will react to a small sad little human not fearing them?

I wrote this with such pleasure, I hope you like it.

BOUND | All Titans x ChildHuman!Reader |

╰┈➤ Warning: English is not my native language.

A child always needs an eye and an eye, given his curiosity about the world. Your parents did not pay much attention to this, completely immersing themselves in work and taking their time only for documents and finances. There is a rule that you need to remember all your life: If the child is quiet, then it is not good.

Meeting a Titan on your way is the most intense detail in your life, especially when he himself is attached to you.

Godzilla

➤ You managed to meet this big guy on the beach, shrouded in sleep and not paying attention to the world around him. At least he doesn't smell you, although an unfamiliar smell still hammered into his nostrils, forcing them to reflexively dilate. A little more and you would be sucked in... The golden gaze was pierced by the rays, and then by the timid you, watching him. Godzilla caught your little figure. Sighing deeply, but realizing that he was not an adult human at all, he continued to warm his scales in the sun. Now it's your turn. Children tend to have no fear at this age until they see a really distorted face, but now it's a big dinosaur that was shown on TV. Your joy knows no bounds, and the desire to get to know each other can be reduced endlessly. Godzilla realized that you won't leave anytime soon, but he tries not to move when he feels your little legs on his sturdy skull.

Mothra/Mosura

➤ Your sad eyes immediately lit up when you saw her in a white light. Mothra found you herself, accidentally finding you in the middle of the forest, leading straight to the temple. The Monster Queen, as soon as she saw you from afar, realized that you were not an adult. In front of her is a child. A human child. Your parents clearly don't look after you well, don't they? Softly chirping at your exclamations, her forelimb slowly approached you as a sign of acquaintance. Your palm pressed against the sharp "paw", taking on its entire appearance and natural essence. She is pleased that you are not afraid of her, but there is one problem. Do I need to send you back to your parents? Mosura knows that such an acquaintance will result in an endless encounter with you. But who objects? Your relatives are clearly not worried about your condition. The Monster Queen is not sure of how exactly to treat little people, but she knows one thing for sure.

It will make you the kindest and most responsible person.

Rodan

➤ If I say that you climbed into a volcano, then I will end the story with it. Let's just remember that Rodan is no longer hibernating, but flying over the islands. An accidental collision with you led to the pursuit of a poor bird desperately running away from your attention. Are you all so nimble? It's just that Rodan is amused by your desperate run in his direction. Come on, baby, a couple more laps and I will be able to walk freely around this place. The big pteranodon was confused when he saw your tears as he retreated. You definitely don't want him to leave you. Rodan was surprised at your courage, but he knows nothing about the treatment of children. Kaiju understands that you are small and fragile, you can hardly survive without an older face, right? The Titan still stayed to watch you. Oddly enough, he liked the way you stroked his beak, although he was quite hot, but he tried to make the most optimal temperature for you. Seeing your happy smile, Rodan understood. He won't get bored with you.

King Ghidorah

➤ Do you remember how I said that children are quite inquisitive? So. Such a quality can take you to very bad "Nannies". But who is complaining? Well, certainly not your parents, who do not know at all where their brood is. Disgrace. Ghidorah grinned at your bright eyes. You clearly did not know who you were with now and what threatened you after this meeting. They are not in a hurry with you, but for now they are just observing and analyzing behavior. Brave and naïve, but for some reason unhappy. Aren't you impressed by their size? Intimidating teeth that can break you? None of this. Three heads have lowered themselves to your level to get a better look at you. They're like distant relatives trying to figure out who you're more like. But only curiosity plays a role here. They have never seen a human child up close, especially one who is not afraid of them. San clearly liked you more than anyone else and he has already begun to melt under your gentle palm than the other two, who look at each other and think about what to do with you? Ichi and Ni only grinned, creating an eerie atmosphere around them. It seems that three personalities will settle in you at once, and which of them will manifest itself more often depends on you.

Shimo

➤ Shimo herself is like a child, only adapting to the ground. Her curiosity is the same as yours, and I don't think she'll be able to keep track of you. But this Titan will still protect you from any dangers around you. You're just a little Titan who needs a parent. Perhaps Shimo's maternal instinct will pull its threads, and you will be completely safe, but she is quite cold with her. Your warm palms try to warm her, but unfortunately she still returns her temperature. She just can't control it, you know? Living in confinement in the middle of lava, as they say, in hot heat, was terrible for her. This reflex of constant cold irritates her and she cannot reduce it even when she is already in her climate. Shimo appreciated your desire to help her, but she would not refuse moral help. At the moment, she needs help looking after you.

King Kong

➤ Kong was a little confused when he saw you alone and running after him. Where were your parents, brave warriors? The Titan instantly realized as he crouched on one knee to see you. The size difference was enormous, but it wasn't a problem for you. The king of the hollow earth was scratching his head now, not knowing what to do with you next. Find your parents? I think this will lead to a lot of panic among the population in which you live. King Kong was still gently holding you in his palm, trying not to let you go deep into the forest. The Big Boy had practically nothing else to do, but remembering his connection with your smaller brothers, he understood where to direct him. Jia. Although the rest of the Monarch's crew would take it more seriously, he trusted Jia more. I think she will understand what exactly needs to be done with you, right? In the meantime, enjoy a walk with him, because you have a lot to learn about each other.

M.U.T.O

➤ It was a little strange to see her in a rather peaceful state with you. The female Muto was initially neutral about your presence, but the behavior was not hostile simply because it didn't make sense. You didn't touch her, and she doesn't touch you. Although she was interested. Well, a small percentage, let's say more confidently. The Titan was extremely surprised by your pursuit, and not by the retreat from her large figure. She didn't even try to drive you away, but she tried to keep you out of where you shouldn't go. Unfortunately, she had no offspring, but she considered your company quite good. You were not an enemy or someone who had the ability to shoot her, but just a child whose parents spat on proper upbringing. He walks and walks, what's the problem with that? Muto decided to keep you to herself, making crackling noises at your pleasant caresses. Perhaps you will have a new Mother whom you will not want to give up.

KING GHIDORAH

Art by me!!!

[generalb]

Concept custom card for King Ghidorah, specifically the version from King of the Monsters!

Now usually I’d include my reasonings for the abilities and whatnot here, but I spend the better part of an hour figuring this shit out, and all of that brainstorming? I did on this post. So if you’re interested in how I came to this, it’s all under the cut. If you want an *exact* explanation for the abilities, send a reply on this post! As always, constructive criticism and feedback is greatly appreciated!

Oh and before I forget,

(Personally I’m leaning a bit towards yes)

How would I go about making a King Ghidora mtg card?

A better question: how would I make a *unique* King Ghidora magic card?

We have to start with the basis of what I know about King Ghidora, which is unfortunately very little. Most of what I know comes from common knowledge, the semi-recent King of the Monsters film, and that weird version in the anime trilogy that was on Netflix that one time. Is that paltry amount of information good enough? Let’s see.

King Ghidora:

Flies

Is from space

Has three heads

Can regenerate said heads and probably partial amounts of itself

Can fire energy beams from all three heads

Is usually on par or stronger than Godzilla.

In Kotm, it’s able to corral other Kaijus to work for it, what with that whole Alpha Titan nonsense.

Seems like a good enough start right?

Wrong! Let me explain by saying why the Godzilla custom card I made is of Shin Godzilla, and not normal Godzilla.

The difficulty in making a plain Godzilla card is because he’s a giant lizard that has a ranged attack. Normally, this translates into a creature with a high toughness and power, maybe a trample or menace, and then an ability that would do ranged damage to creatures. There’d even be space for flavor text.

This is the conundrum I see with a king Ghidora. At most, I can give it Flying, high power/toughness, and maybe an attack that can deal a certain amount of damage up to one, two, or three targets to represent the three heads. But that isn’t interesting to me! If you don’t know, Ikoria released a lot of giant creatures.

Like, a lot of them. Hell, this was the set that had the Godzilla Secret layers that didn’t mesh well enough to get me interested in the first place!

Now perhaps I just don’t go out enough anymore, but I don’t think I’ve run into any of these giant creatures from Ikoria. Some like the Apex’s can be excused since Ikoria also leaned heavily into the Mutate mechanic along with the giant Beasts. But there plenty of creatures, legendary or not, that are still in play in commander from even before Ikoria, sometimes because their abilities are just plain stupid(Krenko Mob Boss) but most others due to how fun it is to build a deck around(Xantcha, Sleeper Agent).

When i look to play commander, i want someone strong, perhaps not op, but im at least looking for abilities where i can say, “yeah, that’s cool! I can think of a way to exploit it.” And when i look at a big flying dinosaur alien that fires lasers, i just don’t see it. King Ghidora, in all its complexity, manages to be as boring as King Kong in terms of abilities. Very cool in the movies, but in card building? There’s very little I can see that i could give it that couldn’t just be given to a Godzilla card or any other Titan.

I could give it the alpha nonsense but even that could go on a Godzilla or even King Kong card if I went there. No, the truly unique part of Ghidora that baseline Godzilla doesn’t appear to have is its regenerative effects. But even that is hard to represent. While the Keyword Ability Regenerate does exist, it’s not exactly in theme. Ghidora, after all, isn’t able to completely regenerate from scratch, else it wouldn’t have lost to Godzilla. And usually, all creatures “regenerate” at the end of each turn, reverting to their power/toughness before any damage dealt.

Of course, I’m not the first to take a crack at this. What have others done for Ghidora?

…hmm. There’s *some* neat ideas. Nothing that scrathes right though. What if I go back and watch the first fight between it and Godzilla in kotm?

Okay first off WOW they keep cutting to the people so much in these fights. Remember when people were mad they cut away form the fights in the 2014 movie? I’d rather that then Monster-human-monster-human-monster. Jesus.

Anyways, something neat I noticed: Ghidora isn’t exactly stronger than Godzilla per se, but is smarter. The three heads often worked to subdue Godzilla rather than deal massive, devastating blows. Guessing here, but it seems that its Anti-Godzilla strategy is to tire it out and then go for the kill.

Hmm…..strong, but not much stronger…..works smarter, evades Godzillas biggest attacks, and doesn’t seem to take much damage when they hit anyways. Laser beams. Intimidation tactics. Sends smaller Titans to fight and weaken. Indirect damage?

You know, I’m starting to see something here. Perhaps Izzet? You know what cards are coming to mind? ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph, Captain Ripley Vance, and Stella Lee, Wild Card. I like it’s 6/6, but with the abilities I’m thinking of, perhaps a 4/5 would be a bit more even. What can happen in thirds enough that it could be done at least once per turn but not to the point that it’s insane?

Ghidorah is clever, to the point where it uses sources outside its natural abilities . In that case, I think some form of card manipulation might be possible. Perhaps something that lets you look at the 3 top cards of your library , before putting them back in any order. Than another ability that lets you revela the top of your deck, and if it’s a creature, King Ghidorah deals 3 damage to any target? This is a neat idea, but it doesn’t feel like something a Kaiju should be able to do.

Ooo! I’ve got it! Storm! Okay I have an idea I’m gonna go put it together

Titan History: Godzilla

Welcome once again to Monarch: After Dark, the digital gateway between you and the organisation dedicated to understanding and navigating this troubled new world we live in.

For today's communication, it was decided by Monarch officials stationed at Castle Bravo (Outpost 54) that we should create an updated historical account on arguably the most recognisable and infamous of the Titans we currently know of; Godzilla.

(Pictured above: aerial footage of Godzilla leaving San Francisco the morning after G-Day, circa. 2014)

Monarch Database File: Godzilla

Monarch Designation: Titanus Gojira

Height: 393 feet

Weight: 99,634 tons

Length: 582 feet (tail)

Nature: Bio-Atomic

Behavioural Classification: Protector

---------------

A member of an ancient reptilian species that was known to exist as early as the Permian period, Godzilla serves as a guardian of the natural order, rising from the depths whenever the balance of the world is threatened, be it by other Titans or by humanity. Newfound information has revealed that, at some point in their early history, the Titanus Gojira species waged war against a population of great apes within the Hollow Earth. The outcome was victory for the former, while the latter migrated to a surface landmass that would become Skull Island, where they would face near-extinction.

Throught the millenia, imagery of these Titans showed their defense of humanity against other Titans, including the seemingly extraterrestrial lifeform, "Monster Zero". These battles were documented well, immortialised in the form of cave paintings and tales passed down through the generations.

(Pictured above: Cave painting documenting a battle between Godzilla and Monster Zero, circa. 1973)

While much of the history surrounding the individual we know today as Godzilla is unknown, his modern history is far clearer. First discovered in 1954 by founding Monarch figures William Randa, Keiko Muira and Leland Shaw, the initial reaction to the Titan's existence was an attempt to kill it using a nuclear weapon. Covered up as the Castle Bravo nuclear test, it was believed that Godzilla had been killed until he resurfaced a year later in Hateruma Island.

His next widely documented appearance was the infamous G-Day in 2014. Tracking down a mating pair of Titanus Jinshin-Mushi (aka MUTOs), Godzilla battled and eventually killed them in San Francisco, though not without extensive damage done to the city and the Golden Gate Bridge beforehand. Months later, he battled with a Jinshin-Mushi Prime, which resulted in the Prime destroying his dorsal plates before she, too, was killed.

According to Keiko Muira, and her grandchildren Cate and Kentaro Randa, who were recovered on Skull Island in 2017 through an "in-between" realm linking the surface to the Hollow Earth, Godzilla responded to a Gamma Radiation Simulator abandoned in the 1960's and battled a large dragon-like creature before they were able to escape. Their account is currently under Monarch investigation.

(Pictured above: Godzilla using an "intimidation display" in front of Monarch's Castle Bravo crew, circa. 2019)

In 2019, a mass Titan outbreak instigated by eco-terrorist Alan Jonah and Monarch paleobiologist Emma Russell called Godzilla to action once again. He first appeared in front of Castle Bravo, where he prepared to attack before the outpost lowered its weapons and calmed him down. He made way to Antarctica, where Monster Zero had recently been awakened. The two battled before the latter Titan retreated.

They clashed again off the coast of Isla de Mara, Mexico, where Godzilla succeeded in tearing off one of Monster Zero's heads. Before this battle could end, likely in Godzilla's favour, the military deployed an experimental superweapon called the Oxygen Destroyer, which severely weakened Godzilla and allowed Monster Zero to escape and regenerate its missing head before usurping control over Earth's Titans.

Their final battle took place in Boston following an evacuation of the city. Godzilla had support from an ally Titan known as Mothra to battle Monster Zero and its own ally, Rodan. The battle ravaged much of Boston, and culminated in Godzilla being dropped from the troposphere and Mothra being killed by a powerful blast from Monster Zero. With some assistance from Monarch and a final gift from Mothra, Godzilla achieved a heightened state of power and caused a thermonuclear explosion that destroyed Boston, and Monster Zero.

Following the battle, other Titans gathered around and bowed before Godzilla, accepting him as their new alpha. In the interim between this and the next major incident, Godzilla would travel the globe and keep other Titans, such as Scylla and Amhuluk, in check.

(Pictured above: Godzilla surrounded by other Titans, bowing down and accepting his claim as the alpha Titan, circa. 2019)

Following a period of minimal Titan activity, Godzilla suddenly surfaced in Pensacola, Florida and destroyed an Apex Cybernetics facility before returning to the depths. In response to this, a joint operation between Monarch and Apex went underway to use another Titan, Kong, to track down an energy source that would give humanity the edge over Godzilla before he could hurt more people.

Godzilla and Kong clashed twice. Their first battle took place in he Tasman Sea, where Godzilla intercepted a naval fleet transporting Kong to Antarctica. This encounter was short-lived, and only a last-ditch effort by ex-Monarch agent Nathan Lind prevented Kong from being killed. Their second brawl in Hong Kong placed Kong on better footing, armed with an axe he obtained within the Hollow Earth, though Godzilla still prevailed and nearly killed Kong.

However, deception from Apex allowed them to siphon the energy from the Hollow Earth into a secret anti-Titan weapon, Mechagodzilla. After losing control of the mecha, it went on a rampage and battled a weary Godzilla nearly to death before a resuscitated Kong intervened. Working together, the two Titans triumphed over Mechagodzilla and parted ways without further conflict.

(Pictured above: Godzilla departing Hong Kong following Mechagodzilla's defeat. To date, this is the last confirmed sighting of Godzilla, circa. 2024)

And there you go! A simplified but up-to-date account of Godzilla's modern history. We will upload more information regarding him as we are authorized to do so by Monarch officials. We hope you have learned something from this historical account, and we will be back shortly with new information.

Until next time,
