Besides the Godzilla monsters.......

[Arturo Classico]

So other than the various Godzilla based monsters (as they would win based on popularity alone) who do you think is the best japanese monster, My pick honestly would be Mothra I actually like him better than Godzilla honestly. I'll include pictures if you don't know the monster by name.

Anguirus


Baragon


Biollante


Destroyah


Ebirah


Gamera


Gigan


Gyaos


Hedorah


King Ghidorah


King Kong


Manda


Megalon


Mothra


Rodan

King Ghidora has always been it for me, but dammit if all of those listed aren't awesome looking

[AriadosMan]

Gamera is really neat

[biafra]

Cthulhu would pwn them all. As would Nyarlotep the Crawling Chaos.

Out of those pictured though giant lobster guy is ok.

[VenomFang]

I always hated Gamera and never understood his popularity. From that list, Ive always liked Anguirus a lot.

[bibboid]

Gamera - giant, fire-breathing, flying turtle. What is not awesome about that?

King Ghidorah - three heads shooting lightning bolts randomly in all directions = one of the most devastating creatures of all time.

[Joe Neglia]

None of the above. The true answer is Gezora:

[Kevin Hamilton]

King Kong; which doesn't even need the caveat 'besides the Godzilla monsters'.

Granted I'm talking about his entire cannon from back in '33; which may not count if you're just talking about his Japanese appearances.

But I'm voting him anyway.

[Sharpy Snow]

Honestly, the only two I know off the top of my head are Kong and Mothra. And I hate moths.

[G✇JI☈A]

King Ghidorah.

And I will give some love to Anguirus.

Im gonna go about this with the theory of if i wanted to take over the world in it's current incarnation what monster would i choose.

Majority of those would probably get laughed at if i tried to take over the world with it and would not cause that much destruction...and kong is only 25ft and got killed by fighter planes no thanks.

So that leaves me with me a 3 headed dragon or the devil look alike ......Yea im goin with destroyah , i mean he flies , creates miniature spawns , LOOKS LIKE THE DAMN DEVIL!!!...and with all of that i would say i can probably take over the world in a matter of hours depending on how stubborn the military is lol.

So now that that is out of the way destroyah without a doubt.

[Mozenrath]

King Ghidorah was always my favorite, and still is. Mothra and Rodan were on and off friends with Godzilla, weren't they? I guess I always thought of Ghidorah as Godzilla's true rival, and liked him for that reason.

[Big L]

King kong

[delurked]

I always liked Anguirus and Gigan. Mechagodzilla was probably the coolest looking though.

[Beav]

Mothra and Rodan kick ass.

[DSR]

I've always been partial to Megalon. So he gets a vote.

My other vote is for....other. And by "other" I mean "Guiron":



A living, breathing Ginzu knife...that also shoots throwing stars.

['Foretold' Joker]

Biollante

Who doesn't like a giant near immortal plant monster of immmense destruction, lol

Gamera is full of meat.

Had to go with Rodan and Gigan. Rodan just because hes the long time favorite, and Gigan because it is consistently Godzilla's toughest fight. Also was a fan of Biolante just for the beatdown the thing gave, but alas no third choice.

Never really was a fan of Ghidorah, never seemed all that intimidating. He shoots beams that do little comparable damage, and often gets a head pulled off. Plus the thing has no arms, lame.

[rhennesey]

I think Biollante is pretty damn cool even though she's a girl monster and Godzilla's half sister. I liked Rodan as a kid because my first name also shared the same letter. I always thought that Godzilla's monsters were pretty bland.
