* In a particularly head-hurting example, [=MUTO=] Prime in the ''Franchise/{{Monsterverse}} comic ''Godzilla: Aftershock'' is described as simultaneously evolving ''from'' the [=MUTO=]s, yet at the same time is the same species which ''created'' the [=MUTO=]s in the first place. Not only is this a complete violation of how evolution and speciation works, but would be impossible to render in modern cladistics, as it implies that the evolution of the [=MUTO=]s and Prime is nothing more than a tightly-closed loop. Somewhere, a taxonomist is probably crying.

* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': Titans are all classified under the genus ''Titanus''. Titans represent everything from Godzilla (a reptile) to King Kong (a mammal) to Mothra (an insect). While this is already bad enough, what tips this into making taxonomists everywhere cry themselves to sleep are the following, particularly egregious missteps:

** King Ghidorah is also classed as a titan, even though it's heavily implied in the film that he didn't come from Earth. If this is true, it would be impossible to classify him under the current taxonomic system ''at all'', as by virtue of all life discovered thus far being native to Earth, King Ghidorah's presence would require starting completely from scratch to account for space-faring creatures as well.

Of course, things are also more complicated than even this. Cladistics, dendrograms, phylogenetics... We'll just leave it at this lest YourHeadAsplode. For entirely imaginary taxanomics PlayedForLaughs, see BinomiumRidiculus.
