His tail now measures 582 feet (177 meters) long and has a total length of 984 feet (300 meters). In addition, his eye color is now red-orange, but it also changes when he uses his atomic powers, becoming bright blue or yellow-orange, much like his attacks. The tip of his tail is also more rounded. The claws of his toes are also longer and curved. The three large central dorsal plates running from mid-way down his back are the same shape as the original Godzilla's dorsal plates. Instead of being jagged and straighter in design, the new design features more protrusions. While retaining the same basic design as his 2014 appearance, Godzilla received a slight revamp for King of the Monsters, with his dorsal plates changing in shape. Legendary confirmed that their Godzilla's tail is 550 feet and 4 inches long, with his total length being 274 meters long (899 feet) his height is 355 feet, there are exactly 89 dorsal plates running down his back, the palm of his hands are 34 feet and 4 inches each, and that his roar can be heard from 3 miles away, loud enough to make an opponent go deaf. His body and tail are very wide as well, making him look somewhat bulkier than other Godzilla designs. His skin is more reptilian and crocodile-like, and rougher than the other designs, and is a very dark gray (almost black) color. Godzilla's claws are black in color, and his feet are wider, resembling an elephant's feet with larger claws than the other Godzilla designs. Godzilla's dorsal plates are smaller than the previous designs, but they still retain the core maple-leaf shape, although straighter and very sharp, somewhat like MireGoji's creating a more jagged look when rising from the water. According to Andrew Baker, the filmmakers studied the faces of dogs, bears, and eagles in order to make Godzilla's face look noble and majestic, yet not too cute or threatening. The head and neck seem to lean forward more and the nostrils are more separate, being on opposite sides of the snout, and making him more reptile-like instead of the more mammalian fashion of being close together in the front compared to past designs. His eyes are small and a golden yellow color, and his teeth are small and not nearly as straightly lined up as in previous Godzilla designs. The 2014 design's face is blocky, it's neck is broad and has shark-like gills, making this the first Godzilla design to feature gills. Lead creature and concept designer Matt Allsopp, and WETA Workshop creature designers Andrew Baker, Christian Pearce and Greg Broadmore were tasked with bringing Godzilla into a contemporary reality while honoring his classic silhouette. Just like the 2007 Godzilla design, this design is completely computer generated. Thus, he was given a new design that didn't look radically different from the established Godzilla designs like the TriStar Godzilla design from the 1998 film did, but like the TriStar design, it was intended to have a more realistic approach. The resulting scientific dubbing of Titanus Gojira comes from the Latin term "Titanus", meaning "Titan", and "Gojira" (ゴジラ Gojira ?, To), meaning "Godzilla" in Japanese.įor Godzilla's return, it was decided to give the King of the Monsters a newly revamped look. Michael Dougherty later revealed that the name "Godzilla" is not the primary name of the monster, but a nickname, with the scientific name used within the film's universe being "Gojira". With that said, most of the English-speaking characters eventually start to call him "Godzilla" over the course of the film's events. Ishiro Serizawa also refers to him as "Gojira", prior to "Godzilla" being formally used. Godzilla originally gained his true name from the Pacific islanders, who refer to him as "Gojira". In Godzilla: Awakening, Godzilla is referred to as a "MUTO" due to him not having a name at the time.
