The Bridge: Kaiju Roster in a Nutshell · 8:18pm Oct 30th, 2014
Godzilla Junior
-Adoptive son of the Godzilla that was active in the 1990s
-Partially raised by humans, having hatched at an institute
-Despite some roughening around the edges, he is a heroic incarnation
-Co Leader of a faction of mostly benign Kaiju
Mothra Lea
*for wing color see this
-Daughter of the 1990s Mothra who fought Junior's father
-Can be a bit frantic at times, but is very kind, gentle, and extremely protective
-Co Leader of the 'Defender' Faction alongside Junior
Anguirus
-Ancient guardian beast created thousands of years ago
-Gruff at times, but is very loyal and means well
-Member of Junior and Lea's faction
Rodan
-Another guardian beast made a bit after Anguirus
-Physically and mentally youngest of the team, so he can be a bit rash or act without thinking
-Member of Junior and Lea's faction
Xenilla
-Heavily altered 'clone' of the 1990s Godzilla, effectively his son
-Scheming and known to be dangerous. Often battles it out to Junior
-Leader of the Mutations faction
Destroyah
-Prehistoric lifeform mutated by the weapon that killed the 1954 Godzilla
-Known to be bloodthirsty and extremely dangerous. She also as a bit on the crazy side before Xenilla recruited her
-2nd in command of the Mutations
Monster X
-Kaiju previously under control of an alien race called the Xilians
-Past and history almost completely unknown, has amnesia
-Old war friend of Gigan and Megalon
Gigan
-Cyborg Kaiju previously under control of an alien race called the Nebulans
-Gets along fine with X and Megalon, though the latter can get on his nerves
Megalon
-Cyborg kaiju previously under control of alien race called the Nebulans
-Gets along ok with X, and since Gigan is the older Nebulan cyborg, Megalon sees Gigan as his older brother
-Very powerful, but noooot the brightest kaiju
Hyper Gyaos
-An albino descendent of malfunctioning guardian beasts that turned rogue
-loosely leads a flock of smaller normal and 'Super' gyaos
-Driven by an unending hunger
Slattern, Otachi, Leatherback, and Knifehead
-Hail from a parallel dimension called the 'Anteverse'
-Less intelligent than normal kaiju, but cunning nonetheless
-Used as attack dogs by their alien creators
Grand King Ghidorah
-Tens of millions of years old
-Roamed the cosmos, finding civilizations to destroy and feed off their lifeforce
-Caused the dinosaurs to go extinct
Hedorah
-Alien species that feeds off of toxins and common pollutants
-Only goal is to spread its toxins, multiply; destroy all in its path
Gaira
-Brutish and gluttonous
-Has a powerful healing factor so he comes back often
-Will follow near anyone with the promise of lots of food, though he eats mostly for enjoyment
Legion
-Alien species that behaves like ants and lives to conquer new areas for hives
-Main one is their kaiju sized Queen, who can call forth dozens of car sized soldiers
One should add the note of possible love interest of comic book villainess Mane-iac to Gigan's summary :P
Nice job.
What about Hedorah, isn't he( or whatever gender it is) mentioned in the story or was hedorah more of a cameo character like HokMuto???

*raises an eyebrow, pointing the Hedorah portion between Gaira and Ghidorah*
Mighta been hard to see as there was a spacing error, just fixed it
256537
Oh must a mixed it sorry. Anyways keep up the great work I'm really loving the story so far
I mean tarbtano sorry again still new to this site
2565388
It's ok my friend, every slips up. As said there was a spacing error so it probably was hard to see
Real talk....If Slattern is a Category V kaiju then Godzilla is like Category XX
Rest in pepperoni Gipsy Danger (T-T)
Even though Pacific Rim 2 isn't due out till 2017, I'm still pretty pumped to see what Guillermo del Toro and his team will do with it.

Actually... Slattern is (officially) around 596 ft tall when fully upright and apparently 392 ft in a quadrupedal stance, while in this fanfic Godzilla is about 100m (so ~330 ft) tall. Slattern actually towers over Godzilla.
Btw I'm completely disregarding weight because tbh kaiju weight is retarded and totally arbitrary.
On a somewhat related note, that puts the jaegers firmly in regular kaiju range which does make them a reasonable choice for an anti-kaiju fighting force.
Very cool breakdown on the roster, nice pics, too.
Random Question : If this story was made into a T.V. series, who would voice the kaiju? Now, we already know who voices who in MLP:FiM, but who would be your choice voice actors or actresses to play Junior and the rest of the gang?
Here are my choices so far:
Godzilla Junior : Michael Dorn (Klingon Worf/Star Trek TNG; Kalibak/Superman: The Animated Series & Justice League; Coldstone/Gargoyles)
Xenilla : Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor/Superman: The Animated Series & Justice League Unlimited; Dark Dragon/American Dragon: Jake Long)
Rodan : Nolan North (Smokescreen/Transformers Prime; Superboy/Young Justice)
Anguirus : Kevin Michael Richardson (Bulkhead/Transformers: Prime; Principal Lewis: American Dad!)
Mothra and Destroyah : I can't really make up my mind for who to voice these two, what would be a good fit?
Monster X : Peter Mensah (Predaking/Transformers Prime Beast Hunters)
Gigan : Steven Blum (Starscream/Transformers Prime; Orochimaru & Zabuza/Naruto)
Megalon : Brad Garrett (Robert Barone/Everybody Loves Raymond; Lobo/Superman: The Animated Series & Justice League)
Haven't put a lot of thought into the rest, yet.
So what are your choices?

I suppose I wasn't giving Slattern enough credit when you put it like that.
It's just when you take into account Godzilla's healing factor and atomic breath, it creates a quite the power gap.
However it's important to note that the Kaiju in Pacific Rim are basically bio organic weapons. So every time a Kaiju from that universe is defeated it's masters take that data to improve the next version. A practice that regrettably showed terrific results against the PPDC's jaeger program.
So given enough time it's quite possible that a Kaiju could be engineered to be the perfect counter to any opponent, even the king of monsters

Still thinking over that, but for some here's my thoughts
Godzilla Junior : Not sure at the moment on a good example that fits mental image for pitch
Xenilla : Ditto, abet I see his speech pattern being more accented and slier than Junior, in similar vein to Scar from Lion King
Rodan : Nolan North definitely works, alternately it be Michael Rosenbaum (Flash/Justice League)
Anguirus : Mr. Richardson is good, but I'd say more in line with James Horan (Wheel-Jack/Transformers: Prime)
Mothra: I'd say a mix of Ali Harris (Lady Palutena/Kid Icarus and Super Smash Bros) and Wendee Lee (Leona/League of Legends)
Destroyah : Closest I can think of is Karen Strassman (Shyvana/League of Legends)
Monster X : Spot on
Hyper Gyaos: Gina Torres (Phyllis Crawford/ Hannibal, Airachnid/Transformers:Prime)
2565848 I heard more of Sam Riegel's take for Teddie for Megalon
2568789 Here are the voices I imagine for the Kaiju.
Godzilla Junior: Daniel Riordan (Alduin from Skyrim).
Mothra Lea: Jen Taylor (Cortana from Halo).
Anguirus: Peter Cullen (Ironhide from Transformers G1).
Rodan: Ian James Corlett (Cheetor from Transformers: Beast Wars).
Xenilla: David Kaye (Megatron from Tansformers: Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy).
Destoroyah: Pat Carroll (Ursula from The Little Mermaid).
Gigan: Steve Blum (Starscream from Transformers: Prime).
Monster X: Kevin Conroy (Batman from the Animated Series).
As you can pick up, I am quite a huge Transformers fan, and as for Megalon and Hyper Gyaos, I still don't know about their voices yet.
2568789 Ali didn't voice Palutena in Super Smash Brothers. She also voiced Liara from Mass Effect.
