The MonsterVerse's 4 Heroic Titans Revealed In Godzilla vs Kong

According to the Godzilla vs. Kong novelization, there are at least four benevolent Titans in Legendary’s MonsterVerse. The actions of these creatures benefit rather than hurt humanity - even though civilization hasn’t always been on their side. The cinematic universe of Godzilla and Kong is populated by an untold number of these monsters who have been living on Earth for thousands of years.

Modern humans fear them, and often for good reason. Several have caused problems for the world, both on-screen and off. The MUTOs wreaked havoc in 2014’s Godzilla, while Ghidorah came close to terraforming the planet with his storms in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Other dangerous Titans have been encountered in MonsterVerse tie-in material too.

There’s no telling what would happen if there weren’t Titans out there who believed in protecting the balance of nature. The fourth movie’s novelization confirmed that four of the known Titans in the MonsterVerse are governed by a desire to “protect some sort of global balance”. Here’s who these creatures are, and how they fulfill this goal.

There’s no question the planet’s most important protector is Godzilla, the Titan alpha. After all, it’s been him and no one else who has risen to the occasion all three times the Earth faced a threat that endangered the planet. When the MUTOs were stirred by their hunger for radiation, it was Godzilla who hunted them down. The same applies to his mission to beat Ghidorah and to stop APEX from resurrecting him in Godzilla vs. Kong. Godzilla’s quick reaction-time whenever there’s a Titan problem is thanks in part to his amazing sense of awareness. He often spends his time listening, and whenever he hears a disturbance, he takes measures against it.

King Kong has protective instincts, but admittedly they’re not as wide-ranging as Godzilla. For most of his life, the ape has been limited to one island in the South Pacific, protecting both it and its human inhabitants from the Skullcrawlers. Now that Kong has been relocated to the Hollow Earth world, his responsibilities have grown tenfold. There’s so much more for him to oversee now, which means he may be facing greater challenges than just the Skullcrawlers.

Another benevolent Titan in the MonsterVerse is Mothra, who gave her life so that Godzilla could save the Earth from King Ghidorah. Based on what’s been established about Mothra, it appears she shares a much more meaningful connection to the Earth’s humans than Godzilla does. Apparently, she is connected with an ancient cult responsible for waking her up with music (the MonsterVerse’s take on the Twin Fairies). Mothra, who was worshiped as a guardian deity by those people, dedicated her entire existence to ensure the planet's safety. She’ll be sure to continue along this path when she gets reborn again.

Behemoth is one of the four monsters who joined Rodan in bowing down to Godzilla at the end of King of the Monsters. As mentioned in the movie’s credits, Behemoth eventually settled in the Amazon rainforest, where the radiation from his body replenished the region and brought beauty back to the area. The Godzilla vs. Kong novelization expanded on this by saying that the humans there came to appreciate its presence. That’s because Behemoth, unlike some Titans, is a peaceful creature who has proven to have a positive impact on the environment. This fact has seemingly been recognized by Godzilla, who came to his aid when he was attacked by Amhuluk in the Godzilla vs. Kong graphic novel prequel, Dominion.
