New kaiju, new thingeh.
Swamp - Swamp is as old as Thunder, and like Thunder, he was originally a Bio-Weapon for I believe the RPG Godzilla: Future Destiny. He's been featured as a Bio-Weapon in many RPGs, including KWET. The Arena is the first place he is being featured as a full-fledged kaiju.

Varan- I've actually had this guy in my head for years. I've always dreamed of reinventing Varan the same way Kaneko reinvented Gamera. I eventually wrote my reinvention as a fan-fic, which I stopped writing due to a lack of reviews and some plot roadblocks that I should have cleared away before I started writing the fic. From this fic came Varan, Borneas, Syzir, and several kaiju I have yet to write stats for. As far as my kaiju go, so far, Varan is the most balanced. Some people seem to be complaining about the beams.
Syzir- My little S&M queen. Syzir was one of the six antagonists planned to appear in my Varan fic. Sadly, I stopped writing before (s)he could make his/her grand debut. Leaning more towards the melee side of the attack spectrum.
Borneas- Another one of the six kaiju antagonists in my Varan fic. Aside from Varan, he would be the most flawed character and would go through periods of self doubt and battle his demons, eventually emerging as a hero (in his own eyes at least). A bit more beam happy than his brethren.
Samifeal- The planned main antagonist of a series I may write (but probably won't seeing the response for Offspring). With his name, I took the names of biblical demons and used them as a basis. In terms of character, he's the very definition of evil .
Overlord Ghidorah- If a kaiju fic is going to have Godzilla, naturally it should have Ghidorah. Overlord Ghidorah was more fun to create than his rival, Kaosugoji, so I made him first. Probably the most beam happy kaiju I'll ever create.
Kaosugoji- *shrugs* Why not?

Nido-Baragon: I made him after noticing the similarities between Nidoking and Baragon in design, then fused them together. I tried to make a mostly melee monster, and I think he turned out pretty good.
Raidion: The original was a 4 winged space-wyvern that fed on electricity and such. Then I turned him into a bioweapon for one of MM's RPGs, which mostly looks like this version, albeit with only one pair of wings. This version incorporates the quad-wing feature of the original, but with the design of the bioweapon version.

Okay... lesee here...
Megalith- Originally for my first fan-fic. I wanted an 'original' mecha of my own, so I made him.
Megalith II- Um... an advanced Megalith is all. Yeah.
Kumori- A kaiju originally based off of the Crackler from GTS. Except with negative energy instead of electricity.
Gigoramis- Ah yes, my first fan-made kaiju. Just a little something generic to get myself started, I guess.
Daralog- ...I watch a lot of Tremors. He was originally going to be an elemental kaiju (go figure) for a story of mine, which got axed.
Nidrolas- Same as Daralog. But... with water.
Roldak- In my series, he was Godzilla's ancestor. Yeah. >.>
Molydeus- Ah. He's originally a kaiju from another rpg forum (of which is advertised here indiscreetly). It turns out I liked his design more than I thought, so i put 'im here.
Monster X- ...It's Monster X... but modified...
Artecaex- Here we go. Originally, he was an original charrie by Azure Ghidorah in a certain rpg. So made him full dragon. Then, I made him full kaiju and put him here.
Bahamut- Everyone has their own original kaiju saga. Bahamut was going to have one, but I axed it.
Spacegodzilla- Everyone else has one! I wanted one too!

Another new:
Diarregex - Diarregex started out as nothing but a joke kaiju that I, almost on a daily routine, annoyed IR with saying he should make a poop monster. There's really no inspiration for it, but I guess it could be tracked back to the Golgothan from DOGMA. After getting annoyed a bit with IR's reluctance and thinking more about the beast of shit, I decided to make my own shit monster. Thus far, the reactions are as I hoped, "WTF?"

Dewcepticon: Dude... it's Dewcepticon. What else really needs to be said?
Myrmek: Directly inspired by Isikulu from the movie The Bone Snatcher. Badass monster right there. The name is a modification of the Greek word for "ant".

Kragos - Kragos is the evolutionary "next step" of an old monster I made, Saronus, aka Ketos. Saronus appeared on one of the old RP boards... either Dark Alliance or Final Destiny, not sure. I get the two mixed up all the time. Anyway, Saronus teamed up with Agira, and the two of them got their assess handed to them by some zoid and a ridiculously overpowered (yes, I know I'm misusing the word) Eva-01. I decided to get revenge on the souped up machines by transforming Saronus into an anti-mech, but the board died before I could ever work out a design, and the monster was lost to time. Eventually I came back to the idea and used it here.
Gammadon - One of my oldest kaiju, yet one very rarely remembered. Hailing back from 1999, Gammadon's original name was Krypton. "Krypton" was pinkish-purple, was entirely HTH, and was a good bit fatter. When I submitted him to the Monster Galaxy, there was a monster already there named Crypto or something, so MM suggested I change the name. One of his suggestions was "Gammadon", so I used that. He also told me he looked "like a demented barney", so I recolored him swamp green. A few weeks ago I was reminescing about my old, forgotten kaiju, and decided to give Gammadon a facelift. I made him less obese, changed his color scheme to something less generic, and threw in the whole "bottomless pit" motiff to give him some new fighting capabilities.

Might as well do the latest two now. Don't think the rest will be ready for another week.
Stagthorn - A kaiju from the Godzilla: Crimson Phoenix RPG days, she was originally a he and a slightly modified kaiju from Ultraman Mebius with a newer name I made up. When still dreaming up the plot to Return of Saberon, I knew Blaradon was coming back and wanted him to have a partner. Thinking for a few days and looking over G:CP, I decided to completely revamp Stagthorn. I 'honored' Megalon by giving her an uber-fied Megalon-like design and threw in some Battra and other bug elements.
Queen Araneae - I've had a spider kaiju running in my mind for months now, even before Neo-Generation, I knew I wanted one. I just had one problem: I couldn't decide on a basis. I didn't know if it should have been male or female, be big and powerful like a tarantula or sleek and speedy like a black widow. Weeks passed as I figured out my problem and tried to combine elements from both jumping spiders, tarantulas, and black widows. Unfortunately, Bio was capable of beating me to the punch with his huge hybrid spider. The two, even at start, had their differences, but it was still to similar, so I threw in some newer things. In came the claws and the Xeno-Jaw.

New addition!
Arthos- Everyone else has a bug kaiju. I wanted one too.

Sure, I'll join in, gotta let you guys know I'm alive somehow.
Bigor: Bigor dates way back to, jeez, around '94 or so. He was originally a member of a team of super-heroes I'd created, and was only about 9 feet tall or so. In this incarnation he was an alien from outer space who had been unfairly exiled to Earth and taken in by the team of super heroes. He also had a huge claw jutting out from his wrists in leiu of his crests.
It wasn't until about 2005 or so that his current incarnation started to take shape. I put him in a fantasy roleplaying board, wiping out his alien origin and replacing it with his current one. I also reduced his intellect drasticaly in this one, limiting it to roughly the level of the Hulk.
Then came the Kaiju Wars board, and his current incarnation, which I'm quite happy with. As far as what inspired him; I'm not sure. I know his physical look was actually heavily influanced by an enemy in a Final Fantasy game, FF 3/6 to be exact. "Number 128" in the Magitek Research facility, or "Inferno" in Kefka's Tower. Same sprite either way. I really couldn't give you the origin of his name. Like all the names of my Kaiju (save Aiya), it was more or less just a result of splicing and/or warping existing words into an interesting name.
Aiya: The name came far before the Kaiju. It's what my daughter used to call Godzilla, before she learned to say Godzilla. I've often theorized it was also kind of her blanket term for all Kaiju, as she's called Gaira and Sanda that before, as well as GINO, and I think Anguirus once.
I wanted a Kaiju to go with the name and I wanted one with some personality, instead of just another mindless city smashing Kaiju. Finallly, I settled on his intergalactic bounty hunter gimmick, and flushed out his origin and history. His look, and for that matter his personality, are heavily influanced by DC's Lobo...who himself is kind of a knock-off of Wolverine, which makes Aiya 3rd Generation unoriginal, doesn't it?
Myston: Myston's origin's are as old as Bigor's are, though he's had a much longer dormancy period. Back during the start of the Street Fighter 2 craze, I endevoured to make my own group of fighters in hopes of selling the idea to a game company, and making big bucks in the process (yeah, I actually thought that's how it went, someone could just make some fighters, and a game company would pay you a couple hundred bucks to buy the rights for the characters to use in a future game).
I actualy wound up with about 30 fighters or so., and Myston was the final boss of the game, though he went under the guise of Mysterio, which I thought was a pretty kick-ass sounding name...and no, I had never heard of the Spider-Man villian of the same name at that point.
At any rate, after that idea went the way of the Dodo, all my characters were lost in the annals of time, save Mysterio, who I kept in the back of my head for future use. I don't know what exactly brought him to my head when I was thinking of new Kaiju, But his look just screamed "Fighter" to me. The look itself is a direct translation of a toy I got when I was 8 or so, a full twenty years ago. It had a pitch black body, and three seperate glow in the dark heads, an insectoid one, a Tyranosaur type with a horn, and I think the third was like a knight's helmet or something. At any rate, the other two were lost rather quickly, and I was left with only the Dino head, which is why Myston looks like he looks. The name is just a slightly warped version of his old name.
GODzilla: He was plucked from a plot for a movie I had. His origin basically sums up the plot. Not much to say here.
Armada P.E.R.F.E.C.T.: In addition to creating Kaiju, I like to create wrestlers. Some gimmicks are better then others and a few have actually found success in the world of E-wrestling, but Armada is one I've always liked. So when I wanted to make a mech, Armada fit the bill perfectly...at least his name did anyways.
Nuvi: I've always had a thing for something that can take the form of others, it denotes flexibility and adaptability, qualities I like. So, with that in mind, I put my own spin on the multi-form kaiju. What I like most about Nuvi is that he can take the form of any other kaiju, which opens up a whole world of options for me in the event that I ever get this piece of s**t computer back in decent form and able to use the net again so I can start battling here again.
So that's them. I still have five more Kaiju I'm working on. A version of Anguirus that had his genes spliced with Godzilla, Ghidorah, and some other kaiju I haven't settled on yet, a kaiju plucked from a Civilization 2 scenario I'm working on that has the soul of the original Godzilla in it. A monster that is actually two, one specializing in melee and one in ranged attacks, and an other-worldly chimera...because chimera's kick ass. I also have one that's all set togo, I just forgot to include the file with me today. Another time.

Heh, I'll join in on the fun, though most of my monsters I've posted as of now are just redesigns...
King Ghidorah (TAoM)- The final form of Ghidorah in an old fan fiction idea called Godzilla: The Age of Monsters. Was originally supposed to resemble my old Onyxia Ghidorah from KW:ND, but I decided against it to create a hybrid tribute to all the Ghidorahs out there. He will more than likely recieve a redesign/update as he may be used in an upcoming Eva fanfic idea.
Ghidorah (TAoM)- The younger form of KG. Was based off GMK Ghidorah, but was going to turn on its ally (would more than likely have been Gigan in the story) and drain all it's life force to empower itself. The resulting amount of energy would transform it into King Ghidorah. Will more than likely stay as this and not be used in the possible Eva fanfic.
Barugon (TAoM)- Ah, one of my more interesting redesigns. I decided to draw upon Barugon's "chameleon" aspects more and poof, Barugon was made. Has a decent chance of popping up in the Eva fanfic I mentioned earlier. He was to be a chameleon mutated by an alien energy.
Godzilla (TAoM)- Loved the concept of this guy, picture wise. Nuclear Transcendance is bleh though, don't know why I ever thought of it. The design will be reused in the upcoming fanfic, but will probably be revamped around.
Shroom- Ah yes, good ol' Shroom. If I recall, he was inspired by listening to Ralphie May's "Smoking Weed with Jesus" joke. Took the concept of a fungal giant from Warcraft and gave him some crazy powers. I enjoy his concept of weakening a foe over time while keeping them in place as well as being able to put himself out when caught on fire.
Evangelion Unit 01- Early concept for my version of Unit 01. This is definitely going to be revamped later on.
The Hybrid- One of my possible "finales" for the fanfic. Basically an extremely powerful hybrid creature. Gave him the Lance of Longinus because I hate it when people abuse shields beyond belief (little ironic with me using A.T. Fields... >_>). His design is pretty unique, IMO...
Tuskarr- I told IR that I'm making a walrus monster, and he basically replied with "...". Now he's made, and can actually be quite the challenge, especially to fliers.
"Count" Ungula- Had this guy planned for awhile but never got to making him. He's basically a combination of all the Nether Rays from Warcraft. I also wanted a "drainer" monster.

Hm...
The Colossi(Valus, Quad, Gaius, Phaedra, Avion): Eh...I've toyed with the idea of taking some of the Colossi into an Arena battle for a while, but I guess I just never got around to it until now. 'Sides, here at the Extension I can give them a couple new "powers" and such that I probably couldn't get away with over at the Kingdom.
And yes, I do plan on adding the rest of them to my roster, soon as I can find some decent screens for them.(If anybody can help me in this, 'twould be much appreciated.)
