Godzilla has fought a huge number of monsters over the years, but they're the tip of the iceberg compared to the amount of intended monsters.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Godzilla has fought numerous foes over the years, and even more have been planned without ever coming to fruition. The beloved kaiju first appeared in 1954's Godzilla, a thoughtful and powerful monster-movie rumination on the horrors of the nuclear bomb.
17 Chamelegon Chamelegon was an alien mecha that was intended to serve as the villain in the unmade movie S.O.S. Tokyo! Godzilla's Suicide Strategy. Taking his name from the word "chameleon," the character was going to be invisible in what has been speculated to be an attempt to save money in the film's budget. Unlike human beings, however, Godzilla was going to be able to see the new enemy, allowing them to do battle.
13 Gryphon Before Godzilla was remade in 1998, a separate American remake had already been attempted in 1994. The canceled Godzilla movie's villain would have been an alien bioweapon designed to destroy all life on the planet, named Gryphon. Arriving inside a meteorite, the creature would collect generic material from animals all over the globe in order to construct a body for itself that it would then use to wreak havoc.
10 Bagan Bagan is one of the more interesting of Toho's canceled Godzilla villains. He was envisioned as a shapeshifter that could switch between three forms: ape, fish, and dragon, with a fourth, amalgamated form added in subsequent proposals. He was conceived for an unmade 1980 movie titled Resurrection of Godzilla, and was later proposed as the villain in a 1990 Mothra movie, which would have been titled Mothra vs. Bagan.
7 Frankenstein Starting life as a King Kong movie titled King Kong vs. Prometheus, Kong was to be pitted against a giant, humanoid monster assembled by the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein from the body parts of Africa's most fearsome beasts. The project eventually morphed into King Kong vs. Godzilla, and when looking for a concept to follow that movie, Toho considered Godzilla fighting a giant Frankenstein's monster.
