The 'How did you come up with your kaiju?' thread

[Omegarex24]

Ruckus- The other half to Sunder's tag-team. More of a brute strength fighter than her ranged sniper.

Mitternacht- I wanted a monster composed of something arbitrary, like shadow. He might still need a little tweaking, but I think he's turned out well.

Cerberus- I had the idea at work the other night. Partially inspired by some Digimon or another. Working on a pic, but don't hold your breath. Besides, it was about time I made another machine.

[Inferno Rodan]

Got some catching up to do here...

Champ:

Nessie - Was watching a show with IR about the Lake Champlaign monster and we both got the idea of doing a form of Plesiosaurus kaiju. I did Nessie and he did Champ.

What he said.

Llama Super Destroyer: Big Rick's faithful steed. The original idea came from an episode of Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe was about to trim a llama's teeth, and the owner was explaining that male llamas often try to bite their rival's testicles when they fight. Mike then made a comment about how their kicks were like lightsabers because they were so fast. The rest of the weapon ideas came much later when I actually started to make him. Big Rick was originally a nerdy human, and retains his nerdiness as a kaiju. So I decided to run with that and have all of LSD's weapons and powers based around nerd stuff like Star Trek, assorted video games, etc.

Sauropede: Funny story with this guy. TG came to me a couple weeks ago, asking for ideas for a bug-dinosaur kaiju. One of the ones I suggested was a Sauropod-centipede. He didn't seem real excited about it, but I already had a pretty nifty concept for it in my head. So I decided to make it. TG threw a fit 'cause he realized how awesome it would be like an hour later. I think he's still pissed about it. XD

Panzer: Pretty much the same as Sauropede. Though Panzer isn't really a bugosaur. He's just a dinosaur with one bug-like feature.

I was excited for it you asshole. Whatever, enjoy your damn monster that you'll probably never use more than once...

Ebolco - Watching TV with IR is bad. It's even worser when you're easily inspired to make kaiju. Ebolco came to me while watching a show on History (I think) channel that just happened to feature Ebola.

Tirran-Gomora - Tirran and Gomora are two of my first kaiju ever made. Both were originally kaiju chimeras made by pieces of other kaiju (Tirran was a Godzilla, Destoroyah, Mothra, Ghidorah, Baragon hybrid. Gomora was a Godzilla, Gamera, Rodan hybrid). Tirran was later revamped for an RPG, but he wasn't good enough. Now going into Kaiju 2, I wanted a third demon to be with Milenko and Demortis... But I wanted it to be a female. I wanted it to be every kaiju's wet dream. While she is NOTHING like what her name comes from, I think she's a very fresh of breath ass... air..

Xeno-Zoid: I want to get into the Zoid franchise and after looking up some stuff on Deathsaurer last night (by the way, can anyone tell me what exactly Mega Saurer is?) and with a fic I'm having at TG I thought it would be cool to make a zoid of a xenomorph. It originally started out like the Xeno-Saurers and then I decided "No, this will be Xeno-Thing's archnemesis, gotta make him BIG" so I went for the DS thing. Made the original version more like Clover Parasites. Commander version 70MM rifles were from a clip of a zoid from YouTube, I'm 90% certain it was Koieng Wolf, just to add a little pazzaz. Basically he's designed for another fan fic entirely and I had to cut out the Second Jaw Subatomic Partical Ray, which destroys everything in a 500 mile radius.

Say MM, what's the video signature supposed to mean?

[Azure_Ghidorah]

In reply to Alienhulk's question, Megasaurer = Mega Deathsaurer, so its essentially an upgrade to Deathsaurer. That's my understanding of it.

[Monster Master]

Syntrox - Syntrox is a throw back to my first kaiju such as Tirran and Gomora, which were of course kaiju chimeras. Syntrox is also a kaiju chimera composed of playing Frankenstein with parts of Gabara, Gorosaurus, Baragon, Anguirus, Varan, Manda, and a dash of Zilla.

[DinoHunter2]

Chirokku - Was bored in English last semester and did some doodles in my planner. After a few sketches one of em became Chirokku.

Levoshk - I just remember wanting to draw something really weird and alien looking. I honestly don't recall what made me create it as a marine creature... design wise, my main basis was the alien army from King of the Monsters 2- the basic idea, anyway: it's big, it's crazy looking, and it's got big ol' eyeballs somewhere you weren't expecting. It's also based a little bit off of Soul Edge.

Slith - An older monster who I decided to bring back. Slith was originally created for Deadly Alliance, and then got used again (in the same role, essentially) in Final Destiny. Or maybe it's the other way around, I don't really remember which came first, heh. Anyways, from what I recall, I just kinda sketched him up without a whole lot of preliminary concept work or anything.

Gustras - I was thinking about some of the old concepts for The Entity, mainly the more mollusc-like ones, which were nearly immobile. I liked the idea of a monster that could fight it's enemies without even having to move, so I designed Gustras with that in mind. She ended up being pretty ugly and Zerg-like, which prompted me to make her a "goody guy"- I had remembered a comment Bio made after I decided Levoshk would be evil ("Oh come on! Mean, horrible, nasty looking monsters make the best protagonists of all!") and decided to go with that theme and make Gustras a heroic character. She's a more radical example anyway.

Zeno - Okay, the name is kinda lame and I admit, so is this "monster". I just had this idea of a flying machine that could flip it's boosters to be used as weapons, and I sketched like crazy on the idea and felt like it needed to be on the roster. It'd probably get it's ass kicked by just about anybody, but at least it's something different.

Biohazard - Pretty simple concept- a kaiju in a hazmat suit. It seemed kind of ironic, and it looked cool too, so I did some doodles and got this guy. Originally it was going to have an arcing tail with some kind of multi-barreled gun at the end, but I had just drawn Theraxis and felt that two scorpion-tailed kaiju in a row was too much.

Godzilla (TSA) - After I came up with this new Godzilla design, I had considered for a while whether or not to bring it here. At first I was going to add it as an alternate "skin" for CR Godzilla, so that they'd share a slot, but I eventually decided not to do that because of two reasons. 1.) The two were different enough to be seperate fighters. 2.) If both Godzilla occupied one slot, there would technically be one more good guy than bad guy on my roster, and I'm shooting for an even number of kaiju on both sides.

[superjackdaking]

Godzilla-I wanted a more close-range oriented Godzilla.

Mortis-Came up with this guy about a year ago, can't remember how.

Baragon-I wanted to turn a lame-ass kaiju into a bad-ass kaiju.

Mothra-Same as above.

Typhoon-I always thought it would be cool to have a gaseous Kaiju. I also wanted four guardians to represent the four elements of Earth: Animals (Tigris), Plants (Biollante), the ground beneath us (Obsidius), and the atmosphere (Typhoon). It was only after this I thought of the sea

Tigris-I wanted a mammalian Kaiju.

Rot-I just thought that undead Kaiju were really cool, and I wanted my own. Plus, I needed a really powerful monster/

Manta-The Manta Rays from Half-Life.

King Ghidorah-Thsi was an idea I had for a long time: snake headed, scorpion-tailed King Ghidorah.

Mecha-Rodan-A lot of people talked about this at Toho Kingdom when I was a member there. I thought it was a cool idea.

Xerus-You're guess is as good as mine.

Vanguard-Inspired by OR24's Riptide and MM's Hessian.

[SuperSaiyan4Godzilla]

Rodorah: One of my oldest kaiju. If anyone remembers Vader and his kaiju Mieriki...I designed Rodorah to kill him. They never got to fought. Sad about that.

Super Godzilla: You know, there's two things I love (besides masturbation, sex, girls, and Kingdom Herats), and that's Godzilla and DragonBall. I made a Godzilla for the DraqgonBall world. Ha!

Smosh: Emo Squirrel! I made him to celebrate my over-coming of a year long depression. He's also inspired by my friends Raffi and Ryan....heh. Never give a depressed kaiju a blade at the end of its tail.

G-Rex: Delaware doesnt have enough kaiju!

Kire: The Gigan to G-Rex. My family has something of a crabbing heritage...so, that's where that also came from.

Gorathrax: I needed something large in the G-Rex world...Needed a Ghidorah...so, I came up with Gorathrax...just throwing together some things to get a crazy looking 2 headed dragon. Name came from ym friend Raffi, fo he suggested it for another kaiju.

[yaburu]

Wow, I haven't updated this thing since January.

Spirit Godzilla: I don't know why, but I first called him Soul Godzilla, and then in the middle of writing his bio, forgot and switched to Spirit Godzilla. Look at his bio, you'll see. Doubt I'll change it, just leave it there as a monument to my forgetfulness. Anyways, I was thinking one day about the spirits Godzilla 54 let go when he took over the Spirit Eater. I wondered if I could do something better with that. The idea struck me to have him infuse them with his timeline's Godzilla, who was still sleeping in the water.

I put the idea in the back of my head and got the bare bones of the back story out, and started on Spirit Godzilla's bio. A bio which went unfinished for weeks. I had to ret-con the part about Godzilla '54 letting the souls he was carrying go, but other then that, it was pretty easy. Not sure where the Hulk/Godzilla hybrid idea came from, I think I was watching the 2003 Hulk movie when it struck. But I like it, a lot. I had to squeeze him into Kaiju Uprising, as the original storyline didn't feature him. But I felt the presence of one more kaiju was needed, and he fits the bill.

Giga-Lon: I came up with the idea for a Megalon revamp when I saw his name and something clicked within me. I thought "Upgrade him, then show that in his name."

Originally, I was going to name him Galvalon. Why? Well, we have Megatron, then Galvatron. So I tried it here, but it didn't quite fit the bill. So from there, I thought of Mega in terms of computing. What's after Mega? Giga. Gigalon. Sounds far better. So I gave him some upgrades to his existing abilities, streamlined him, and that was it...or so I thought.

Terra-Ann: ...Until I took a look at Gigan's name. Saw the Giga. What would that turn him into...Terran. No, that sounds to much like the human species name in space sci-fi shows. So I extended the last part. Terraann. I had to hyphen the last part to make it look better, and thus, Gigan's upgrade is born. When I saw that the last part had a female name, and that Giga-Lon's last part could work as a male name, the hamster in my head got off the toilet and into his little wheel.

A kaiju love story of sorts. Immediately, a Romeo and Juilet scenario came into my head. Two lovers, on opposite sides of a war, plot plot plot, and the two are somehow cursed to take the forms of two giants. A lot still needs to be flushed out though. Once I got it all, I'll post it to their bios.

Terra-Ann herself came out very well in terms of her looks and powers. I'm quite happy with her.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Ok, I've just gotta put it out.

Solranous AD: I have tried three different stories with Solranous having a terrestrial beginning, and they all got scrapped somewhere along the line. I tried genetic spawn who started as a guard dog for his creator, kept the genetic idea but have said creator dead before he comes out. I then tried to make one where he existed way back in medieval times. And none of them managed to survive to its completion.

Then, I tried something that Solranous has never been through before... An extra-terretrial life form. A Solranous that is alien in origin. I haven't started that story yet, but slowly but surely those wheels are turning, trying to make the fourth time a charm. Plus, the spines were just starting to annoy me, which is why I junked the first three. They all had Godzilla-like spines, which had finally gotten on my nerves. I'm half tempted to junk the remainder of my 'old group' honestly, and start completely anew.

Sorry, getting off track... Anyways, where I came up with Solranous AD's creepy (in my opinion, also, I've barely touched upon it with what's there... I'll need to finish it up at some point...) biology is anybody's guess, and I think it stemmed from a particular thought that I'm going to type down right here:

'I need a reason for Solranous to have such insane endurance...'

Yeah, that one. Somewhere along the short line (probably when I was typing it up, cause it was very recent when I first made him ), this spanned to including incredible recovery times from poisons and diseases. Plus, I was tired of constanly making his attacks nuclear based, another thing I chucked out with Solranous AD, and again the alien biology plays a big part here.

Also plan on making him meaner then his past incarnations... -_-

Archleperx: A Kaiju resident of the world Solranous AD lives on that I'm trying to develop, she's the Rodan to Solranous' Godzilla, but I wanted a bird Kaiju (or bird-like, in most cases) that perferred fighting on the ground, and only resorts to fly-bys when bested in a straight up brawl. Not to mention its a she. Was, very shortly, originally planning to make Archleperx male, but junked that idea three seconds after thinking it, its fun to have a female monster that can best the main Kaiju of the series in a straight up brawl. Can make her the main Kaiju, Bio's already got the idea of a female main, and if I did it it'd look like I ripped it off of him.

Besides... we don't have enough feathery Kaiju!!! There's like, what, two? Not counting Archleperx, of course.

Edit:

Sacreldine: ... All I can say for this one, is that I don't think I was myself when I pulled him, quite litterally, out of nowhere... Don't know if I'm gonna keep him or not...

Also, as a note, I finally got too ticked off at my old group and junked the rest of them.
