Who is godzillas worst enemy

Yes, everyone knows Mothra. But did you know Mothra had a punk rock, cigarette-smoking, no-good cousin? That argument becomes moot with the arrival of Godzilla, however, and the two must work together to defeat him. He dies saving the humans he hated so much. SpaceGodzilla looks amazing. His origin is too wild to go into here it involves a lot of monster DNA and a black hole and what the heck, a white hole too , but he presents Godzilla with a foe that is both big and smart.

SpaceGodzilla kidnaps and imprisons Baby Godzilla to draw Godzilla out for battle. Rodan is very popular, one of the all-time legendary monsters. I am a sucker for low to the ground, quadruped monsters. What hope do they ever have of beating Godzilla? Yet they keep trying anyway. Such is the case with Baragon. Baragon is borderline adorable, with the body of a bear-like creature and a head not unlike a bat, and it hurts to see him go down.

Another quadruped, Anguirus has a much more prehistoric look to him, taking many features from the Ankylosaur. He has a long snout like a crocodile and a turtle-shell back covered in spikes. Though he and Godzilla start off fighting each other in Godzilla Raids Again , they spend most of the series as good pals. A great monster, and a great friend. But also a great foe. Those Raids Again fights are no joke. Some of these characters have shown up so many times, and with so many different origins, it can be hard to average out who they are for ranking purposes.

But across all this, Mechagodzilla remains a near-perfect representation of how cool it would be if Godzilla were a robot. Just stay away from the M. Far and away the most disgusting monster on this list, Hedorah is a product of pollution. It is pollution. And as such, it flings weaponized filth wherever it goes. Hedorah is also one of the first monsters to enjoy multiple forms. More rock-kicking action! Just like with Ebirah, Kamacuras is essentially just another earthly animal that happens to be giant-sized, this time a praying mantis.

There are actually a few of them in Son of Godzilla , but Godzilla takes them all out with no difficulty. Really, the only memorable Kamacuras moment is the aforementioned rock, which one of the mantis monsters throws back at Godzilla, hitting his son Minilla flush in the face in a hilarious moment. Kamacuras also shows up briefly in Godzilla: Final Wars as one of the plethora of monsters wrecked by Godzilla in an extended montage. This time, he ends up impaled to death on an electrical tower.

Things rarely work out for Kamacuras. This is mostly due to his intriguingly bizarre design, which essentially takes the lower body and forearms of a great ape, but saddles him with the long, curving horns of a Woolly Mammoth. Unfortunately, we never get to see Behemoth mix it up with the other monsters, but the mere fact that he has more of a mammalian design makes him more unique than most—although one wonders how he compares to Kong, if they both essentially have ape bodies. Mechagodzilla II , Godzilla vs.

SpaceGodzilla , Godzilla vs. Destoroyah he actually becomes integral to the plot. But ultimately, Minilla only gets ranked this high because he has a cool dad.

In Destroy All Monsters he appears but simply stands around during the final battle, looking on. Baragon is like the Pete Best of kaiju. I could totally understand ranking this guy lower. Unlike say, Baragon, he participates in the fight against Ghidorah and is the only monster that is able to bring Ghidorah down out of the air.

Illogically, his signature move is a jumping kick, because why not? Jump-kick stuff like Bruce Lee? The primary antagonist of the goofy Son of Godzilla , Kumonga actually has a fairly cool-looking design.

The giant spider proves himself decently capable in that film and also contributes during the Ghidorah fight in Destroy All Monsters , using his webbing to keep Ghidorah from taking to the air.

This giant robot predates Mechagodzilla, so you can give him a pass on the originality front. How much you enjoy him depends on how much of the cheesy Showa series goofiness you can handle, because Godzilla vs. Megalon is one of the silliest of the kiddie-era Godzilla flicks. He gets at least a few bonus points for the silly Jet Jaguar theme song , though.

SpaceGodzilla, like M. What fans got in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla was probably the worst of the Heisei series films and a monster that is basically Godzilla, except with some huge crystals on his shoulders. Weird, wild stuff, but presented in a very kid-friendly manner. He also takes issue with Godzilla, and they have some pretty good fights both in larval and adult form.

In the end, though, Toho seemed to realize they were making a one-shot character and gave him a fitting death at the end of his only film. The original Godzilla featured bold and effective social commentary, but as the series progressed, it took on a much lighter sci-fi tone. This included pitting the King Kaiju against a host of equally threatening enemies of different shapes and sizes.

Eventually, Godzilla went from a creature of rampaging destruction to a giant wrestler fighting opponents in a very large ring. As more movies came out, so too were more enemies introduced, some better than others.

Each has managed to give Godzilla a run for his money, and some even came close to killing him. Updated on August 2nd, by Derek Draven: Godzilla continues to rampage his way through the cinematic world, most recently in the long-awaited Godzilla vs. Kong, which debuted to massive box office numbers and fan praise.

The Hollywood version of the character seems to be heading into more outrageous and over-the-top territory with each passing film, and it's only a matter of time before the franchise enters the same territory as the classic Showa-era Godzilla series.

This means even more crazy and inventive foes for Godzilla to square off against, many of which will probably make a return in one form or another. His greatest foes are also some of the deadliest, and they've taken on different interpretations over the years. This cool-looking creature resembled a cross between a Japanese dragon and a serpent and was just as deadly as the combination would suggest. Although the two never squared off officially on film, a deleted scene from Destroy All Monsters shows some snippets of them having a bit of tussle.

The scene was rejected due to both being on the same side. Manda made another appearance in the super-corny and ultra-fun Godzilla: Final Wars when it attacks the Gotengo warship. It loses the fight when the Gotengo fires a freeze beam at it, before ramming straight through its icy corpse, shattering it into bits. Hedorah , which is available to stream on HBO Max. Hedorah is one of the few kaiju to nearly put Godzilla down for the permanent count.

The creature is extraterrestrial in nature, hailing from the Dark Gas Nebula. It arrived on Earth to feed on the pollution in the atmosphere and environment, but it was an unwelcome guest for humanity. Godzilla battled the creature, and nearly lost his life in the process. The combination of physical strength and energy-based bolt attacks almost killed him before Godzilla got the upper hand. He lost an eye and a hand in the process, which must have been a blow to the ego.

Biollante One of Godzilla's most fearsome and tragically underrated foes is Biollante, a mixture of plant, human, and Godzilla DNA. The result is a nightmarish genetic monstrosity that could regenerate its damaged body, and shrug off some of Godzilla's most devastating attacks.

If that weren't enough, Biollante is also capable of spitting radioactive sap at its foes in order to weaken and harm them. Godzilla had his hands full more than he'd have liked when he went up against this horrifying creation, and it was nearly curtains for him. Mechagodzilla , which is available to stream on HBO Max. This particular kaiju is sometimes benevolent, and sometimes malevolent, depending on the circumstances.
