Godzilla: King of the Monsters
elephantine - sized sequelGodzilla : King of the Monsterswill see Titans clash once - and we have a theory about the identity of one of the movie ’s mystery monsters . The stars of the show this metre around are Godzilla himself , Mothra , Rodan , and the terrifying King Ghidorah , all of whom have been heavily featured in the trailers and on their own item-by-item posters . However , the second traileralso propose a coup d’oeil of two Titans who do n’t look like any of the main four .
King of the Monstersis the continuation to 2014’sGodzilla , which sound off off Legendary Entertainment ’s MonsterVerse , innovate the massive new version of the intimate giant lounge lizard , and pitted him against two MUTOs ( monolithic Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms ) . Those two were a male and female of the same species , and were never officially dedicate name besides " MUTO 1 " and " MUTO 2 . "

MUTO 1 and MUTO 2 were n’t the only kaiju conception thrown around forGodzilla , and with the MonsterVerse grow bigger , we would n’t be surprised if some of those early intent made a comeback . Looking at a nip in the trailer , it seems as though one of them may already have .
Godzilla: King of the Monsters Has Two Secret Titans
The four know Titans inGodzilla : King of the Monstersare all pretty recognizable : Godzilla with his upright position and typical back spines , Mothra with her luminescent wings , Rodan with his flaming - edged wing , and King Ghidorah with his three heads . Though the latter three were torpid during the first movie , we also do it where they ’re located : Mothra is in a hidden rainforest temple in China , Rodan is inside a volcano in Mexico , and Ghidorah is suspend in the Antarctic . However , in the 2d full - length prevue forKing of the Monsterswe seetwo Titans emergingthat do n’t match any of those physical attributes or location .
One is a creature with crab louse - corresponding legs , tunnelling up from beneath an oil field , which looks like it may well be the spider kaiju Kumonga . The other is heavy to see , but it is large enough that a mountain appear to have formed on top of it and it look like it has a surd shell with spines . This Titan bet like it could be Anguirus , one of the very first kaiju sport in Toho ’s film , which made its introduction in 1955’sGodzilla Raids Again . However , arecent TV spotoffered a better look at both of the secret Titans , and the one emerging from the mountain could actually be something newfangled alone .
Theory: The Mountain Monster Is Rokmutul
In summation to the two MUTOs , there were several other original kaiju purpose created forGodzilla . One was a unknown wight with many legs seen destroy a ship in the2012 Comic - Con annoyer , and conception artistJosh Nizzialso apportion designs for two creatures that he worked on : a Pterodactyl - esque kaiju , and a six - legged lizard called Rokmutul ( pictured above , on the right ) . Like Anguirus , Rokmutul seems to be largely based on the armored dinosaur Ankylosaurus . However , whereas Anguirus has a hard shell with many closely - group , upward - steer rachis ( kind of like a mark between a tortoise and a porcupine ) , Rokmutul ’s spines acquire directly from its back and are slanted backwards .
Although Rokmutul did n’t cease up appearing inGodzilla , the movie did establish that there are lashings - possibly even C - of Titans lying dormant underneath the Earth , and it would n’t be at all surprising if Legendary decided not to countenance those early designs go to waste . If the mystery Titan inGodzilla : King of the Monstersis actually Rokmutul rather than Anguirus , it would foretell well for the futurity of the MonsterVerse .

What Rokmutul Could Mean For The MonsterVerse
Godzilla : King of the Monsterspromises to deliver plenty of fan service for those who were fans of Godzilla before he swam his way over from Japan to the United States . The Toho films have a large gallery of classic kaiju , some of whom will be fall inKing of the Monsters , while others waitress in the wings as the MonsterVerse continue to develop . However , the MUTOs were one of the most interesting element ofGodzillabecause no one - not even the devotee - knew incisively what they were . The reveal that of the second MUTO was a major moment in the photographic film , and the fact that they were a mated pair impart some pathos to their deaths .
Kong : Skull Islandwas also a mixture of the familiar and the new . There was King Kong , of course , at the center of the report , but the film also bring in adelightful raiment of monsterssharing the island with Kong - from the grisly reveal of Mother Longlegs , to the deadly Leafwings , and of course the creepy two - legged Skullcrawlers that pestis Kong ’s existence on the island . Once again , it seems that Legendary is n’t just interested in using the MonsterVerse to exhaust the collection of pre - existing monster that the studio has the rightfield to , but also wants to progress up its own collection of original creatures .

If Rokmutul ( and perhaps also the crab - legged kaiju ) are also only new monsters , it would try out a continued consignment to fleshing out the MonsterVerse with Modern designs . After all , King of the Monstersalready has four of the most famed kaiju from the Toho moving-picture show to attract consultation ; it would almost be a shame to just casually befuddle in Kumonga and Anguirus as well . With Rokmutul , however , the motion-picture show could uncover a coolheaded and sadly fresh monster from the first moving picture rather than let that excogitation go to waste product . By using each Modern picture show to give away never - before - seen kaiju , the MonsterVerse can keep hardcore fans on their toe and keep the franchise finger fresh .
Of course , there ’s a strong possibility that there were n’t just be two more kaiu inGodzilla : King of the Monsters . The trailers have beleaguer the Titans emerging en masse to reclaim the planet , so the guesswork of the kaiju emerging from beneath the oil colour subject area and mountain may be part of a bigger montage - perhaps even from the end of the movie , to place up the event ofGodzilla vs. Kong . We ’re sure as shooting attend forwards to seeing these creatures in their full glory .
