True American Godzilla
MemberMothra LarvaeJul-06-2014 10:05 AMIf you had been given the chance to design the 2014 Godzilla's final form, what would it be like? Remember, they wanted a realistic take/version to the monster.
My Design (True American Godzilla):
1: I like the idea of a Godzilla species emerging from the deep sea, but I would have given it more 'deep sea' qualities as this would be its home.
2: The gills for underwater breathing is a must, but also "fin-like" dorsal spines fir that ease of underwater travel.
3: The scales be very light yet tough, and be the 'shark-like' scales. Shark scales are designed to allow the water to travel through/around them better than normal fish. As such they can swim better than other fish their size and silently than the other fish.
4: To be a deep sea critter, webbed hands and feet are a MUST! This would mean the legs/feet couldn't be the sauropod-like legs as they don't have the room for webbed digits.
5: Shark-like rows of teeth, because many predators loose a few teeth in combat so a new set is ready to come and take its place.
6: Depending on how deep down Godzilla was would depend on the coloration. See many deep sea fish above 6000m have one solid dark color (not counting any natural glow it may have). Those below 6000m deep tend to be the albinos. To have a Godzilla species hiding in the oceanic trenches, many of whom are at or over 6000m deep, the Godzilla species would be the albinos (white skin, red eyes).
7: Legendary's Atomic Breath design is good, it uses super-heated gas+nuclear radiation+pressure/force, ignited by electricity. I'd probably do the same style thing, making sure to design it such a way that it can work underwater and on the surface.
8: Super-fast regeneration (like X-Men's Wolverine or the Japanese Gojira) isn't realistically possible. So a tough yet light armor is possible. After all we humans are artificially making light yet tough armor for our soldiers.
9: The one big weakness to Godzilla's species, because they dwelled in the deep sea, would be bright lights. So daytime attacks wouldn't be possible... unless Godzilla was blind for some reason.
10: Make the skeleton super light and an unknowm material designed to realistically support Godzilla on land. Godzilla would have multi-hearts to allow enough circulation throughout the body. Reaction time wouldn't be the greatest, but considering Godzilla has a super-tough armor that shouldn't be a problem (well, for him at least). The dorsal spines would double to release excess heat as he's such a huge animal (which hibernating in the deep would double as a hydrothermal vent region).
11: To have enough nuclear radiation for his natural reactor, the Godzilla species would find a deep sea uranium deposit and use their stone-cutting claws to get to the deposit, then use their stone-chewing teeth to grind it to nice sized pieces for ingestion (thus fueling the nuclear reactor). Since they live in the deep, their metabolism is slower so a deposit can feed them for a good long time.

I was looking up to see elephants (who's feet is the same type structure as the 2014 Godzilla's) can swim, let alone swim in the ocean. Turns out they have been known to swim in the ocean. On record, they can swim for 6 hours without touching the bottom and travalled as far as 30 miles at 1 mph. So turns out the 2014 Godzilla design, which I thought couldn't really swim well in the ocean, can actually swim.

I would design him like this,which is still the same as the design in the movie..i love the design so much..maybe the only thing i want to change is his pupil..i want to make the pupil smaller..making it less friendly..
