Alternate names for kaiju?

[Al Diplodocus]

For some time some random thought of mine is that within the Godzilla films' canon, people might call Anguirus Basilisk, since his horns could be compared to the crown the beast of european mythology is often depicted with.

Spoiler:

This may seem random, but think about it: what could the kaiju we all know and love have been called, whether in-universe, or ours? Like how Hedorah comes from hedoro, japanese for mud or sludge.

[CrimsonBloodX]

The way I see it, Destoroyah would be called Satan and Manda would be be called Leviathan or Jormungandr aka the Midgard Serpent.

[edgaguirus]

The Roc of Arabic myth would be perfect for Rodan.

[Cryptid_Liker]

Well, I don't know how the Japanese kaiju would be called but for the American ones? Godzilla would be GYHBH-12082497, the Mutos would be GYHBH-38719369, and I think you get the gist. Or maybe, they just name Godzilla Bert. Definitely wouldn't be mythological creatures.

[edgaguirus]

Or we could go with a pure number system. We have monsters 0, 01, and 02.

Allow me to name Anguillas monster 04.

[goji89]

I'm pretty sure it'd be military names since they'll be the ones fighting them.

Like Lincoln Alpha 023 in sights ready to fire. Then shorten it to LA023 then people mistaking that to LAzero23, then further to, Lazerow why because W is the 23rd letter in the alphabet so you would eventually get Lazerow the monster Kaiju....

Or some shiiit like that.

King of Kongs.

Now get out.

[Al Diplodocus]

- Kong would be Sarura, after the japanese word for primate or ape, or perhaps Hibagon, after a wildman in japanese mythology.
- Mothera would be Mothula.

Mothera? Do you mean Mothra?

King Ghidorah/Manda could be Ngalyod/Taipan from Indigenous Australian Dreamtime stories.
