History Main / BehemothBattle

It's important to note that, with tabletop games, particularly creative players can homebrew their own giant monster battles using mechanics the game systems already have in place, but the results tend to vary. The entries listed here have the concept as a central part of their design.

* ''VideoGame/{{Ultrakill}}'': [[spoiler:Level 7-4 features the 1000-THR "[[MeaningfulName Earthmover]]", a HumongousMecha that is essentially [[ColossusClimb the entire level]], while it's in the middle of a fight with ''another'' Earthmover across the horizon. How do they battle? By [[WaveMotionGun firing massive beams of electricity]] via the [{LightningGun weapons]] embedded into their arms.]]

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'' (2010) opens up with battle between the Titan Gaia and Poseidon's One-Winged Angel form.

* ''Webcomic/{{Aurora}}'': Subverted. There are several sections which the author allegedly nicknamed "the kaiju fight." The first was in chapter 17, when Tynan's OneWingedAngel form fought the Void Dragon, [[spoiler: who of course isn't physically there and thus manifests through a human-sized avatar that remains powerful enough to issue a CurbStompBattle to the legendary storm god.]]

* ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters'': In the Season One's finale, Godzilla battles the Ion Dragon. Needless to say is a very one-sided battle, as Godzilla tears apart the Ion Dragon immediately.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' episode "Tokyo Grows", Brain attempts to take over Tokyo by disguising Pinky as the [[RentAZilla giant monster]] [[PunnyName Gollyzilla]], turning him into a giant with a reversed ShrinkRay, and then turning himself giant too and [[EngineeredHeroics saving the city by fighting Pinky]]. HilarityEnsues when the real Gollyzilla shows up and Brain fights him instead of Pinky.

* The ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise gets a category for itself (in fact, there's only [[Film/Godzilla1954 three]] [[Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla Godzilla]] [[Film/ShinGodzilla movies]], [[Film/Godzilla1998 not counting the 1998 remake]], where he doesn't fight another monster):

* Serves as the climax of nearly every ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' episode starting with ''Series/BattleFeverJ'' (and by extension, every ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' episode), where the MonsterOfTheWeek pulls a MakeMyMonsterGrow and the heroes counter by summoning their HumongousMecha. However, the concept for a climatic battle between giant opponents originated from Toei's ''[[Series/SpiderManJapan Spider-Man]]''[[note]]yes, ''that'' Franchise/SpiderMan[[/note]] live action series.

* The ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise gets a category for itself (in fact, there's only [[{{Film/Gojira}} three]] [[Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla Godzilla]] [[Film/ShinGodzilla movies]], [[Film/Godzilla1998 not counting the 1998 remake]], where he doesn't fight another monster):

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hedUAqopPBg This animated video]] of the Bloop (as a giant cetacean) fighting another giant sea monster called El Gran Majá.

** Even more interesting than the Sperm Whale/Giant Squid conflict would perhaps be the prehistoric encounters between ''Carcharodon megalodon'' and ''[[KrakenAndLeviathan Livyatan melvillei]]'' (the former a giant shark, the latter an older version of a sperm whale [[TookALevelInBadass with bigger teeth]]). There's little evidence they actually did battle with each other, but the fact that they were the two largest predators of their time and place and that they were roughly the same size would make for a very intriguing [[AwesomeButImpractical (while improbable]]) scenario.

* ''WesternAnimation/SeaMonstersAPrehistoricAdventure'': After finishing off a juvenile ''Dolichorhynchops'', a 29-foot ''Tylosaurus'' finds himself in the sights of a larger individual of the same species. The skirmish concludes with the death of the smaller tylosaur.

** The tenth episode also features a fight between a ''Tyrannosaurus'' (one of the largest ever land predators) and a pair of ''Quetzalcoatlus'' (one of the largest ever fliers), though unlike the other examples, this combat consists mostly of posing and threat displays, and never gets physical apart from a few brief pecks.
