Every Titan In Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is full to the brim with enormous Titans who have the power to reshape the world. The Legendary Pictures MonsterVerse began in 2014 with Godzilla, starring an incredibly talented cast for the latest franchise based on the popular Japanese kaiju. Since then, the franchise has expanded to include five feature films, an animated series, and a live action series on Apple TV+.

Throughout the series, both Godzilla and Kong have battled some of the toughest Titans of all time, but the latest entry in the MonsterVerse franchise has expanded that list a lot. Thanks to parts of the film playing out both on the surface of the Earth, where Godzilla protects the world from other threats, and in the Hollow Earth, where Kong roams as the undisputed king, a lot of new monsters join the fray. For the most part, these monsters failed to match up with the powers of Kong and Godzilla, but they certainly made things more interesting.

10 Kong (Titanus Kong)

Kong first appeared in 2017's Kong: Skull Island. The aging behemoth served for a long time as the leader and protector of Skull Island and the native people who lived there under his protection, the Iwi tribe. Kong is incredibly powerful, and a skilled fighter who fiercely protects his home and those who he trusts. After the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, Kong decides to return to his ancestral home in Hollow Earth, and that is where he appears in the beginning of Godzilla x Kong.

The film sees Kong exploring the lands deep inside the Earth in hopes of finding more of his own species. However, the area is also full of potential threats seeking to harm Kong. Fortunately, Kong is incredibly intelligent, and able to set up multiple traps, build weapons, and establish a home base complete with a shower to care for himself. Despite this, the film does see him occasionally getting hurt, which leads him to getting help from employees at Monarch on the surface, where they have specially prepared equipment and augmentations to keep Kong in fighting form.

9 Godzilla (Titanus Gojira)

Godzilla proved himself to be the King of the Monsters, and a necessary, albeit incredibly destructive, force for good on the surface world. Godzilla remains on the surface and is usually resting within the ancient Roman colosseum, much to the dismay of the Italian government. However, when threats are approaching, Godzilla is awoken by his psychic link to other Titans, and special technologies that exist in the Hollow Earth.

Godzilla appears in the film fighting lesser Titans to avoid them, causing even greater chaos, and also when he reacts to a psychic distress call. Godzilla has the ability to absorb energy from nuclear power sites, and Titans who have certain powers. When he is awoken in Godzilla x Kong, he goes in search of sources to power up and prepare for a fight that could potentially be his greatest challenge yet. Godzilla is able to evolve and increase his strength after absorbing energy, which changes the color of his scales to blue, and then a reddish purple.

8 Scylla

Early in the film, Godzilla is seen fighting Scylla in Rome. This Titan has some features in common with a large crustacean, like a crab, or lobster. Scylla is similar to other titans like Ebirah, or Ganimes, but it does not have claws or pincers. The creature has six long spindly legs and is encased in a tough outer shell. Scylla also has several tentacles that extend from their mouth and can be used to wrap around and grasp their enemies.

Scylla appears to be invading Rome and causing mayhem before Godzilla steps in to stop them. Together, the two Titans cause intense destruction, but with relatively small effort, Godzilla gains the upper hand and eliminates the threat. As a result, Scylla explodes into pieces, with a shower of yellow liquid emerging from the body.

7 Baby Kong

In the Hollow Earth, Kong eventually stumbles into an unexplored territory known as the Subterranen Realm. This area is full of new creatures and areas that Kong was unfamiliar with, and one of the first creatures he meets there is one that appears to be in the same family as himself. "Baby Kong," as he has endearingly become known, has a thin coat of orange hair, and is huge in comparison to humans, but much smaller than the adult, fully grown Kong.

When Baby Kong first appears, Kong is overwhelmed to see one of his own kind, but quickly learns that the creature is not interested in becoming friends. Baby Kong and a group of warrior Apes attack Kong and attempt to overpower him. However, Kong is a far more experienced fighter, more well-nourished, and simply stronger than his competition. Baby Kong eventually warms up to Kong once he learns more about his genuine compassion and consideration, which is unlike anything he experienced in his pack.

6 Subterranean Titan Apes

Alongside Baby Kong, a small group of warrior or search party Titan apes attack Kong. However, Kong soon learns of a huge civilization of these Apes that exists in the Subterranean Realm. These powerful creatures have been imprisoned and made subject to a vile and cruel leader who forces them to work at what appears to be pointless menial labor, gathering large rocks.

The Subterranean Titans appear to be divided into different groups, which include workers and warriors. The workers appear malnourished, losing hair, and thinner than the other group. However, the warriors do not appear to be in much better shape as they appear physically stronger, but each is scarred and injured, potentially by the ape in charge, who appears to be prone towards violence against his own kind. Eventually, Kong is able to liberate these apes from their enslavement, and offer them a brighter future.

5 Skar King

The Skar King is the aggressive and ambitious leader of the Subterranean Titans. He resembles a lean orangutan, with long slender limbs, but his body is also extremely lean and muscular. His fur is reddish in color, with war paint markings and scars on his body likely acquired from his previous warring with Godzilla before he was imprisoned, and in the time since he has been trapped. He also wields a weapon made of bones, potentially from some sort of snake titan, which has a sharp blade that can control his greatest asset, Shimo.

Skar King was a dissenter from the group of Titan apes who helped to protect the Iwi tribe and remain in the Hollow Earth. Skar King had greater ambitions to rule over humanity, and freely roam on the surface as the leader of every realm of the Earth. However, when he rose up and gathered a large group of apes to support him, Godzilla was able to overpower him and his followers, and imprison them in the depths of the Subterranean Realm.

4 Shimo

Shimo is the most powerful Titan to appear in Godzilla x Kong, aside from the Alpha Titans, Godzilla, Kong and Mothra. However, it appears that its intelligence is slightly behind that of the Alpha Titans, and it exhibits behaviors more like a pet, such as enjoying being petted, and allowing other Titans to ride on its back. Shimo resembles Godzilla in its appearance, although its powers are ice-based. In fact, Shimo is revealed to have been the cause of the Ice Age, with its powerful blasts literally changing the atmosphere on the entire face of the Earth.

Shimo is a captive of the Skar King, and he is controlled with the sharp scale in the Skar King's long whip-style weapon. This scale is potentially one of Shimo's and the Skar King found a way to wield it and inflict excruciating pain on Shimo and force it to do his will. When Shimo is eventually freed from the control of the Skar King, he turns on his cruel captor and quickly turns him into ice. His ice blasts were also shown to cause Kong to suffer intense frost bite after a short blast.

3 Tiamat (Titanus Tiamat)

Tiamat is an aquatic and serpentine type Titan that resides deep in the ocean. Tiamat appears to be a guardian of great power, which Godzilla wishes to access in order to charge up ahead of the incoming great battle. The creature is long and slender, with a dark green coloration and sharp purple fins. They also have a large frill around their neck which is extended out in combat in order to scare off potential threats.

Godzilla makes short work of Tiamat, quickly killing the creature and getting to the power reserves the Titan formerly protected. While this could leave the impression that Tiamat was a lesser threat, the reality is that Godzilla is an elite Alpha Titan who's incredible strength and power made light work of a Titan that seemingly guarded its place for a long time before Godzilla stepped in.

2 Water Snake Titan

Another serpentine type Titan is seen in the Subterranean Realm as Kong follows Baby Kong to their home. This creature appears only briefly, and is mostly under the water's surface, which makes it difficult to identify them. However, the creature had prominent blue coloring with yellow stripes along its long thin body.

The creature resembles the Leviathan Titan that has been referenced and hinted at in previous MonsterVerse films, but due to its location in the Subterranean Realm, it is likely to at most be of the same species, rather than the same Leviathan Titan referenced in the earlier movies. The creature terrifies Baby Kong, and he was well aware of the creature's existence, which means that it likely harmed or killed others in his pack, without ever being captured. Kong easily defeats the creature, and takes its body as food, which he shares with Baby Kong.

1 Mothra

While Godzilla became the undisputed King of Monsters on the Earth's surface, Godzilla x Kong reveals a lot of information about Mothra through the Iwi tribe. Mothra is hailed as the Queen of the Monsters, and the guardian of the portals that lead to the surface. Mothra is worshipped by the Iwi people, with them building special temples dedicated to the Titan, and they work in unison with her to create firm boundaries that separate the surface world and the Hollow Earth.

Mothra is also an ally to Godzilla and Kong, who is capable of communicating with both and instructing them to work together. Mothra is awoken by Jia, the last surviving member of the Iwi tribe from Skull Island, when she visits her people in the Hollow Earth. Mothra displays incredible intelligence, compassion, and care towards the Iwi people, and preserves the natural order between the Titans and the worlds above and below in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
