Summary: For centuries, mankind had no idea that they were merely guests in a world dominated by giants. Some knew, but few believed them. Then one day, a horrific reminder came in the form of a monstrous mated pair bent on repopulating at the cost of us all. But what's a little pest problem that the king of the monsters cannot solve?

History: The MUTOs were a parasitic rival species to Godzilla's race, thought to have been wiped out before modern man came around. But MUTOs feed on radiation, something that has been increasingly used by people to the point where a male could gestate long enough in an underground cocoon to rise from the ground and seek out its mate. Said mate was all the way in Nevada, and the two converged in San Francisco, using a nuclear warhead to fertilize a whole batch of MUTO eggs that would dominate the world. The military is helpless to stop these horrible things...but Godzilla has awoken too, and he's not all that pleased to see his old enemies up and about again.

Notable Kills: The male dives straight into a boat firing at it.

Final Fate: With some help from a squadron of soldiers, Godzilla is able to defeat the MUTO pair. First, the soldiers detonate the eggs, then the big lizard manages to tail-slam the male into a building before firing his thermonuclear breath into the female's mouth, decapitating her. The bigger MUTO's head was last seen in a MONARCH base. However, it was later revealed that a larger MUTO was still alive, living under a strip mall in Hoboken, New Jersey. After King Ghidorah was disposed of, it turned out to be more than willing to let Godzilla be the alpha. In the end, a species' vile reputation could be redeemed by this lone specimen.

Powers/Abilities: Mutos are capable of unleashing an EMP blast with their front claws, which can knock out all technology within a five-mile radius. They can also use echolocation, and are explosive breeders.

Weakness: Beings of equal or greater power.

Scariness Factor: 4.5-There is something fundamentally wrong about how the MUTOs look. They look like a cross between insects and reptiles, and yet they are described as being mammals as well. Not only that, but they can render our tech useless, their mating habits are uncontrollable, and those unnatural-looking red eyes bore into the soul. Just watch the male rise up from the ground in a theater and tell us you don't feel intimidated. It doesn't help that their relationship with Godzilla is eerily evocative of real-life parasitic relations, particularly the one involving the tarantula hawk.

Trivia: -It is revealed in the comic "Godzilla: Aftershock" that all MUTOs have a father. Yes, the pair in the first film was of an incestuous nature. You may retch now. Anyway, the patriarch of this species was Jinshin-Mushi (Earthquake Beetle) or MUTO Prime. Imagine a MUTO with Anchor Arms and the face of Megatron from the live-action "Transformers" movies, and you have the right idea. It was thankfully killed off by Godzilla after getting its head stomped in (though just how canon the comics are is very debatable).

-Originally, the MUTO pair was Rockmutul and Pterodactyl, whom were kaiju that looked like a six-legged Anguirus and a mantid pterosaur respectively.
