Zilla

Zilla's History

Zilla is an amphibious kaiju with an uncanny resemblance to Godzilla.

Zilla appeared in the first issue of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth as a rogue kaiju. He was first sighted by a submarine which mistook him for Godzilla. He later made landfall in Honolulu, Hawaii and was given the identification as "Zilla" due to radio interference. He then went on a rampage while fighting the CKR forces stationed there before being attacked by Godzilla, who had also arrived, and the two monsters prepared to fight. Godzilla threw Zilla into a building and blasted him with his atomic breath, similar to the way Godzilla finished him in Godzilla Final Wars. However, Zilla burrowed underground and avoided the blast. Zilla then dug behind Godzilla and ambushed him. Godzilla and Zilla engaged in a heated physical battle until Godzilla grabbed Zilla by the neck and choked him. Before Godzilla could kill Zilla, CKR opened fire on Godzilla, distracting him long enough for Zilla to escape to the sea.

Zilla reappeared swimming in the waters around the Monster Islands. Zilla apparently avoided capture when the Trilopods invaded the Monster Islands, as he was not seen inside the Trilopod hive.

Zilla returned for the final battles, where he suddenly appeared in Los Angeles and saved Jet Jaguar from a Trilopod with Godzilla's characteristics. Zilla then took part in the final battle against the Trilopods alongside Godzilla and the other Earth monsters, managing to injure and kill several of the creatures. Zilla attempted to battle Magita, the gigantic Trilopod queen, but was kicked aside by its massive legs. After Godzilla destroyed Magita, Zilla and the other monsters followed Godzilla out to sea.

In Godzilla: Oblivion, Zilla emerged from an interdimensional portal alongside Biollante, Rodan, Mothra, Anguirus and King Caesar. Zilla wandered off and rampaged through the city on his own while most of the other monsters tried to battle Mecha-King Ghidorah. Later, after Mecha-King Ghidorah was defeated by Godzilla, all of the monsters were left behind as the humans left the Earth as it became covered by tiny robotic cells that served as interdimensional doorways.
