History Characters / AbraxasHrodvitnon

* AdaptationalWimp: Whereas the Toho version of Monster X was powerful and formidable enough to be a credible rival to Godzilla, this version (currently) would implicitly lose if it fought Godzilla seriously. There's also the AdaptationalSuperpowerChange.
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Including AnywhereButTheirLips, a HeadbuttOfLove, and coiling their necks around each-other in a form of embrace.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom / RedEyesTakeWarning: In Chapter 4, when San takes control and brutally slaughters Jonah’s mercenaries.

* LogicalWeakness: It's unconfirmed but speculated in Chapter 16 that because of how differently Monster X's HealingFactor works compared to Ghidorah's, [[spoiler:it can't regrow a duplicate if San or Vivienne's head is decapitated from it]].

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: A two-headed hybrid Titan (human and Ghidorah) with leathery skin and bony protrusions, created by San transforming and essentially merging with Vivienne. In their second form, they have no wings and are mainly quadrupedal like eastern dragons -- in their final form, [[spoiler:they're a DraconicHumanoid with [[RetractableAppendages retractable wings]] that enable flight]]. San and Vivi have Ghidorah's bio-electricity, but their specific powers differ somewhat and they generate orange-tinted lightning. They’re also essentially the "offspring" of a SatanicArchetype DraconicAbomination, but they're highly benevolent and highly fierce.

* PhlebotinumOverdose: Absorbing too much of [[spoiler:[=MaNi=]/Elder Brother]]'s electrical energy causes [[spoiler:the energy to tear Viv and San's body apart, nearly killing them]].

* PintSizedPowerhouse: They're comparatively small by most Titans' standards, but ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror Rodan]]'' is mesmerized by what they're capable of during an UnstoppableRage.

* PowerGlows / VolcanicVeins: When its powers are being used, or when they flare due to Vivienne experiencing sudden or strong emotions, producing an autumn-orange glow.

* QuizzicalTilt: They do this rather nightmarishly in Chapter 17 whilst in the process of [[spoiler:ripping apart [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother]], in Chapter 17.

--->"'''''RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE!'''''"

* SwallowedWhole: Besides how Ghidorah originally ate Vivienne, and the example under San's folder; [[spoiler:in Chapter 16, Ichi/Eldest Brother and San-2/Youngest Brother basically do this to Monster X again, implicitly to transform them in some way]].

* YouDontLookLikeYou: {{Downplayed}}, but Viv and San's second form is quite distinct appearance-wise from the Toho films' original incarnation of Monster X. We have yet to see what their final form will look like...

--->'''Monster X ([[spoiler:final form]]):''' This is for thinking you can hurt my little boy.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unlike Admiral Stenz, she learns the right lessons from her mistakes and she's open-minded enough that she decides no-one but Monarch should get their hands on Ghidorah's or Monster X's DNA. She also looks to Mark Russell for ideas and advice before the FinalBattle.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Dr. Brooks lampshades in Chapter 11 that he's studying marine history including Titans, not unlike his late father's interest in Godzilla.

* OnlyOneName: They're only known by their first names. Nadezhda and Esfir's last names consist of six characters respectively, and Lubyov's last name consists of ten characters.

!Alan Jonah's organization
[[folder: Alan Jonah]]
A former British Army colonel, who leads an underground paramilitary organization of mercenaries and eco-terrorists. He’s responsible for retrieving the severed Ghidorah head that Monster X is growing inside, and keeping Viv and San caged after their rebirth to further his misanthropic goals.

* BadBoss: There's his lack of consideration for his soldiers' welfare (see ItsAllAboutMe), which may be {{justified}} by his SanitySlippage. He states in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/2 Chapter 2]] that he'll have any {{Disposable Vagrant}}s who show signs of [[MercifulMinion feeling too sorry for Monster X]] shot; [[spoiler:to say nothing of his PlayingWithSyringes]].

* SanitySlippage: Due to the severed Ghidorah-head's borderline-MindRape psychic influence. First he has an AxCrazy episode, then he becomes more unkempt and acts eerily like he's been spending too much time around [[MassEffect/MassEffectRaceTropes Reaper tech]]. [[spoiler:Finally, he becomes an insane, fanatical part of the Many]]. The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/645773162912546816 went into further detail]] about what it's early stages were probably like from Jonah's perspective.

* OnlyOneName: She's only known by her first name.

* OnlyOneName: Her first name is unknown but it begins with a V.

* OnlyOneName: He's only known by his last name. His first name apparently consists of seven characters.

* SmugSnake: He seems to be in denial that both his brothers no longer consider him one of Ghidorah's heads after he's detached, and now he's just as much a shed skin to them as San is.

* UnwittingPawn: {{Implied}}. He remains loyal to Ghidorah and insists he is still part of the Dragon; but his former brothers are just waiting for another Ni to regrow on their body, and make it clear they no longer consider the Ni/Elder Brother who's detached from them their brother.

* VillainTakesAnInterest: Before separating from Ghidorah, he particularly reacted this way to Vivienne's UnstoppableRage in Chapter 13, whereas up until then he'd had the least interest in her of the three heads, as described by [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/640180207918235648/ Word of God]].

[[folder: Dr. Ishirō Serizawa]]
A prominent Monarch scientist who was essentially the organization's figurehead when alive, and the father of Ren. He had a very close relationship with Vivienne before his death and Vivienne's first death during the Mass Awakening.

--->"''Dust this bitch!''"

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Compared to Admiral Stenz, she learns from her mistakes and is open-minded enough that she decides no-one but Monarch should get their hands on Ghidorah's or Monster X's DNA.

* PowerIncontinence: {{Averted}}. See the below folder for details.

* WouldHurtAChild: Bordering on EatsBabies. They go after [[spoiler:Manda's egg (which apparently contains a fully-formed unborn hatchling)]], seeking to assimilate it.

* AndYourLittleDogToo: He [[spoiler:rips San's head off of Monster X and attempts to [[SwallowedWhole eat him]] in front of Vivienne]].

* EyeScream: Vivienne and San slash one of his eyes in self-defense.

* HateSink: He arguably supercedes Jonah and Guard B-04 in this department within a short time in Chapter 16, when he brutalizes and tortures Monster X with utter viciousness the likes of which could match even Ichi/Eldest Brother's, and he [[spoiler:attempts to kill San in front of Vivienne (and almost succeeds)]].

* PowerIncontinence: {{Averted}}. According to [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/650664898911764480/ the author]], he and the rest of the Many can wilfully turn their tissue’s infectiousness off at will if they so desire it.

* TheStarscream: {{Downplayed}}, but Vivienne observes that he'd rather abandon Ghidorah's side and have her all to himself to torture instead of having to share her now that he has an independent body.

* MoralityPet: She's this to San, having a positive influence on his character growth since he fused with her, and it's because of her that San becomes determined to be better than Ghidorah.

* HorrorHunger: Chapter 15 shows their {{Mind Hive}}s are driven eerily by TheAssimilator variety.

* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:Alongside Ni and Ichi, Ghidorah has regenerated another version of San who has the same pre-BrainUploading memories and is still evil. Vivienne is able to tell the two San's apart when the evil one speaks to her in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/11 Chapter 11]], as San-2's voice sounds the same as when San first fused to her. San-2 scorns the San who's fused to Vivienne as being nothing more than a "shadow" or "shed skin"]].

* DesperatelyCravesAffection: San-2 has the same unfulfilled craving for this as San did, being a clone of the latter San as his personality was before his CharacterDevelopment.

[[folder: Manda (Mandazawa) -- UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD]]

!Other Titans
[[folder: Thor]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus þunraz''
A bio-electrical Titan who rejected King Ghidorah's summons during the Mass Awakening, and aids Viv and San. He is loyal to Godzilla and Mothra. His kind are known among the Titans as the Thunderers.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: The details are mysterious, but it's believed he influenced the [[StockUnsolvedMysteries Dyatlov Pass Incident]] before awakening in modern times.
* BlueIsHeroic: His electrical powers specifically produce [[YellowLightningBlueLightning blue lightning]], and he has blue eyes.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He'd agonized by the Many's infection brutally reshaping his body and Keizer Ghidorah partly assimilating him, all whilst his pain receptors are still online and whilst he uses HeroicWillpower to try holding onto his fading mind]].
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:He continues ferociously resisting Keizer Ghidorah with HeroicWillpower even when he's partly assimilated into it, pulling a TakingYouWithMe]].
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Like the other Titans, he's been asleep for millennia, and is surprised in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/7 Chapter 7]] at the world's modern state. He’s also dismayed in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/12 Chapter 12]] that humans' knowledge of him and of the Bone Singer/Grave Chanters' ways have largely died out.
* FourFingeredHands: He explicitly has four fingers on each hand, which underneath his gauntlets are probably like a goat's hoof-toes based on [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/646473689669533696/ the author's artwork]].
* FriendToAllChildren: Threatening "young ones" that he cares about is apparently a surefire way to put you on his kill list.
* HeroicBuild: The author's artwork shows he has a bodybuilder-like torso and limbs.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:After getting infected by the Many, he charges Keizer Ghidorah and lets it partly assimilate him. Using HeroicWillpower, he wrestles with Keizer for control of its forelegs long enough to help the other Titans vaporize them both]].
* HeroicWillpower: In Chapter 17, [[spoiler:despite being infected by the Many and agonized by his partial assimilation into Keizer Ghidorah; by reciting an ancient galdr, he uses this trope to turn parts of Ghidorah's own body against it and aid the heroes to the end]].
* LastOfHisKind: He's the only known survivor of his kind, the rest having been wiped out by Ghidorah in ancient times.
* MixAndMatchCritters: He's overall primate-like, but also has traits of caprinae such as goats.
* MyBelovedSmother: {{Downplayed}} in Chapter 13, when he takes issue with Monster X entering a fight when he thinks Vivienne isn't ready.
* OriginalCharacter: He's an original Kaiju of the author's creation.
* PapaWolf: It's hinted that he feels quite paternal towards Vivienne from the moment he's awoken by her call. There's a reason for this.
* ParentalSubstitute: {{Inverted}}. It's revealed in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/13 Chapter 13]] that he's protective of Vivienne because of his own son's brutal death in combat.
* RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler:His arm gets torn apart by the Many infecting it, he gets partly and gruesomely assimilated into Keizer Ghidorah, and at one point he's still alive even with his ''neck snapped'' before he and Ghidorah are vaporized]]. Likely {{justified}} by [[spoiler:the reanimating effects of the Many]].
* RedIsHeroic: He has red-colored hair.
* RevengeBeforeReason: When it comes to San, this trope is {{averted}} by him. However, in Chapter 17, vengeance for [[spoiler:his son's death]] overtakes him and he [[spoiler:charges ahead looking to kill Ghidorah -- this ultimately leads to his death]].
* ShockAndAwe: Has bio-electrical powers, which he can use offensively by releasing electrical arcs or as a form of communication with other bio-electrical Titans.
* SparedButNotForgiven: He chooses to help Viv and San, despite having a personal reason to hold a grudge against the latter head, but he makes it clear that he still can't bring himself to forgive San.
* SurvivorGuilt: Has a small amount concerning the genocide of the rest of his species, because he knows he went into hibernation as much to preserve his own life as to prevent Ghidorah from using his powers for its own ends.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A Titan resembling a giant ape who's fierce yet seems to have a stronger emotional connection to humans because they're primates, is protective of the female protagonist in an almost paternal manner, personally hates a reptilian BigBad (due to [[spoiler:them killing his family in the past no less]]), and was able to stubbornly reject Ghidorah's alpha call during the Mass Awakening. Sound like anyone? The author even suggests [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656635359659180032 here]] that the Thunderers and ''Titanus Kong'' probably have a history with each-other.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:He uses this rationalization in his final moments when fighting Keizer Ghidorah with HeroicWillpower to help the other Titans finish the monster off]].
* TerseTalker: A little bit, noticeably when he's enraged or agitated. Or at least, what he’s saying in [[AnimalTalk Kaiju Talk]] approximates to Terse Talk when translated to English.
* YouAreNotReady: He says as much to Monster X, insisting they're not ready to face [[spoiler:Ghidorah]] even if the latter is diminished.
* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler:PlayedWith. In Chapter 17, he gets infected by the Many, but he genuinely doesn't know it and is unconvinced when Scylla tells him so, until Mothra makes him aware. Mothra trusts Thor to continue fighting with her until his HeroicSacrifice]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Mothra]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Mosura''
The Queen of the Monsters, who is responsible for transforming San and Vivienne into their second form.

----

* AllLovingHero: She's implied to be this by her interactions with humans and Titans in the story.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's angelic and benevolent, but you do ''not'' want to cause a harmful ruckus involving those she considers her children. It reflects her personality that her imago form is beautiful, elegant and has a powerful stinger.
* BornAgainImmortality: How she’s BackFromTheDead in the fic’s main time frame.
* CombinationAttack: In Chapter 17, besides participating in [[spoiler:the battle by multiple Titans against Keizer Ghidorah]], she unlocks Godzilla's [[spoiler:Spiral Heat Ray]] via their symbiotic relationship.
* HealingHands: How Mothra influenced Monster X's second {{Metamorphosis}}, according to the author [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20059573?page=3&show_comments=true&view_adult=true&view_full_work=true#comments here]].
* MamaBear: She counts San and Vivienne among her children after Monster X comes into her care, and she's pretty scary when someone's driven Vivienne into a PTSD episode.
* MasterOfYourDomain: When she's pupating during the story, it's noted that she's taking longer to hatch than she did when King Ghidorah's takeover during the Mass Awakening forced her to speed up the metamorphosis. [[spoiler:Monster X's distress call and/or humans' prayers to her pupa prompt Mothra's timely hatching]].
* MetamorphosisMonster: Like in canon. In her larval form, her carapace becomes discolored when she's overdue to begin her metamorphosis.
* RedBaron: She’s also known as the All-Mother, Life Bringer or Giver of Life.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: She seems set on one over [[spoiler:Ghidorah taking Viv and San]] in Chapter 16.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Godzilla]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Gojira''
The King of the Monsters and Ghidorah's ArchEnemy, whom Earth's Titans answer to alongside Mothra.

----

* BloodKnight: {{Discussed}}; in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/9 Chapter 9]], Vivienne blurts to Godzilla's face that he seems to enjoy a fight[[note]] which is a fair assumption, considering the 'smile'/'smirk' he bears at various points in the three {{Franchise/Monsterverse}} movies he's appeared in to date[[/note]], prompting him to draw the line between TranquilFury and TheBerserker for her.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: He's a Captain Smooth towards Monster X when the latter is being trained by the Titans.
* CatlikeDragons: {{Downplayed}}, but he produces a purr-like growl as an expression of affection or reassurance, which Vivienne compares to a cat purring to its kittens when she observes it.
* CombinationAttack: He and several other Titans work together against [[spoiler:Keizer Ghidorah]] in this way. Mothra personally uses her and Godzilla's symbiosis to unlock Godzilla's [[spoiler:Spiral Heat Ray]].
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/623720240777412608 According to the author]], Kratos from ''[[VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4 God of War (2018)]]'' is her headcanon voice for Godzilla when he communicates with Monster X.
* DeathGlare: Naturally, he has this look reserved for when he's facing down [[spoiler:his old enemy Ghidorah again]] in Chapter 17.
* DemotedToExtra: A minor case in its scope, as he's still a secondary character in the story once he becomes a part of present events rather than a mere background character.
* DynamicEntry: In Chapter 17, Godzilla's arrival on the scene is marked by his Atomic Breath exploding through the underground rock to destroy and open up the tunnels that [[spoiler:the regenerated Ghidorah]] is hiding within.
* GeniusBruiser: Like in canon, he's a cunning and tactical combatant even by Titan standards.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He tells Vivienne in Chapter 9 that he might have to "rough [her] up" if she and San cause trouble as if it would be nothing more serious than holding a drunk friend back from starting a fist-fight.
* TheGoodKing: Personality-wise, he has GoodIsNotSoft shades of this.
* GoodLipsEvilJaws: He's the Good Lips to the Evil Jaws of the Many's {{Dracolich}} form when he fights it.
* LastOfHisKind: Like Thor.
* TheNoseKnows: He notes that Vivienne/Monster X has some of the same scent on her that Serizawa did.
* OldSoldier: PlayedWith. He's an ancient and tired being who's still fighting strong and maintaining his dominance among the Titans.
* PapaWolf: He's shown hints of this towards Monster X, such as comforting them and even letting them near his vulnerable gills.
* ParentalSubstitute: He, Monster X and Rodan seem to be juggling the duty of initially caring for the newborn Manda.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He keeps his reservations in check and doesn't jump to any conclusions in Chapter 9 when first meeting Monster X.
* RedBaron: He's known among Titans as the Deep One and Great King Gojira.
* RoarBeforeBeating: The tradition continues, this time when he's training Monster X in a fight in Chapter 9.
* SlasherSmile: He has two in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/17/ Chapter 17]]: one is his reaction to the prospect of getting to hunt with Mothra for the first time in ages, and he spares another when he and the other Titans are in the middle of tearing [[spoiler:Keizer Ghidorah]] a few new ones.
* SpannerInTheWorks: He's responsible for Vivienne and San becoming separated from Ghidorah's malevolent influence when he ripped San's head off at Isla de Mara.
* StealthyColossus: His arrival initially goes practically unnoticed by the other Titans present at his destination, in Chapter 9.
* TheStoic: It's implied this is why he's accepting of San's atonement and doesn't hold any ill will towards him.
* TailSlap: Like in canon, he favors using this as a destructive combative maneuvre. [[PlayedForLaughs Or just to shut Rodan up]] in Chapter 9.
* ThousandYardStare: Vivienne notes he has a world-weary gaze which at times appears to look right through one.
* TranquilFury: He utilizes this to fight effectively.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Rodan]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Rodan''
A bio-volcanic avian Titan, who hates Ghidorah for taking his volcano and taking control of him during the Mass Awakening.

----

* AdaptationalHeroism: He displays loyalty to Godzilla in the fight against the Many and [[spoiler:Ghidorah]] that he hasn't displayed in Franchise/MonsterVerse canon, and here he's implicitly not malevolent unless provoked (even if it does take little to provoke him); whereas in the ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' novelization he's outright listed as one of the nastier Titans.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: His scar might be an AchillesHeel.
* BelligerentSexualTension: PlayedWith. The author has [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/637986068089716737/ joked]] that Rodan suspects Monster X is sexually interested in him, when their interactions so far have been vitriolic.
* BerserkButton: Getting a whiff of Ghidorah's scent makes him forget about everything else in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/8 Chapter 8]], and he seems to have a bit of a grudge towards San over Ghidorah's fight with him at Isla de Mara.
* BreathWeapon: He can spit fireballs from his maw, like in unused ''King of the Monsters'' concept art and further hints in the [=MonsterVerse=].
* CantTakeCriticism: Comparing him to [[Characters/MiddleEarthFilmIndependentVillains Smaug]] isn't all that inaccurate, but less psychopathic and with a bit of JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: He's the Sergeant Rough when tutoring Monster X.
* CommanderContrarian: He seems to have mild shades of this. Besides initially resenting being a mentor to Monster X, his personality seems more inclined to react than to act in advance; unlike Monster X, Mothra and Godzilla.
* EasilyForgiven: Not directly to his face, but Lauren Griffin in Chapter 14 doesn't seem to hold any grudge for his massacre of the Raptors before he fell under Ghidorah's control during the movie (which to be fair, he was provoked to).
* GoodIsNotNice: He's firmly opposed to Ghidorah so long as Godzilla remains in charge, but his personality is mostly unpleasant and HotBlooded.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: A mild case. He expresses disgust at the idea of mentoring Monster X, a "half-breed whelp", in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/9 Chapter 9]].
* HiddenDepths: Despite his snarky behaviour towards Monster X; [[NoodleIncident he's apparently reared Titan/s outside his own species before]], and it's {{lampshaded}} that he has some genuine words of wisdom and good advice.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: A variation. Even ''he'' is impressed when witnessing what Monster X is capable of in an UnstoppableRage.
* HotBlooded: Unsurprising, given his characterization in the movie. Mothra comments in Chapter 9 that he's a fine teacher but lacks restraint.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's the most unpleasant towards San and Vivienne out of the Titans they've interacted with so far, but he also stays true to his duty to mentor them in his own snarky way.
* ParentalSubstitute: He seems to be juggling the duty of caring for the newborn Manda with Godzilla and Monster X.
* {{Pride}}: He's bitter specifically about Ghidorah wounding his pride when it beat and enslaved him.
* RedBaron: He's also known as the Fire Demon, the One Born From Fire and the King Of The Sky.
* RedIsHeroic: Although he's not the most pleasant Titan to be around nor the most philanthropic, he is firmly on Godzilla's side in this story.
* ScarsAreForever: It's mentioned in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/10/ Chapter 10]] that he has a scar in his rocky skin where Mothra impaled him during the film.
* TailSlap: Downplayed in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/15/ Chapter 15]] when his short, fan-like tail almost slaps Viv and San in their faces, implicitly deliberately
* UnderestimatingBadassery: ZigZagged. He's confident he can match Monster X in a fight when he first encounters them, but is later disturbed and impressed by San and Vivienne's ferocity when they're truly pissed off.
* WindFromBeneathMyWings: It's minor, but his wings' sonic winds cause collateral damage at the Yonaguni battle.[[/folder]]

[[folder: Scylla]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Scylla''
A semi-aquatic Titan resembling a cross between an ammonite and an arachnid, who aids Godzilla.

----

* AdaptationalHeroism: She's firmly on Godzilla's side even when [[spoiler:Ghidorah reemerges]], whereas in the ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' {{novelization}} she's remembered as one of the nastier Titans outright.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: She uses her sharp-bladed legs to combatively slice openings in her foe's skin.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodSpider: {{Downplayed}}. She aids Godzilla and Mothra in the war against [[spoiler:the Many and Ghidorah]], but besides her GoodIsNotNice / GoodIsNotSoft personality, apparently she genuinely has destructive urges.
* GoodIsNotNice: She's somewhat abrasive and...
* GoodIsNotSoft: ...besides being a ruthless combatant, she will not waste time arguing about putting down [[spoiler:a fellow Titan who's been infected by the Many]].
* HitAndRunTactics: She notably uses these against [[spoiler:Keizer Ghidorah]] in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/17/ Chapter 17]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Ghidorah]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Ghidorah''
A malevolent extraterrestrial Titan which was responsible for instigating the Titan Mass Awakening before being defeated by Godzilla. It consists of three draconic brothers with a single body, who each have control of one of the three heads: San (later San's AlternateSelf, San-2) who is known to the other heads as "Youngest Brother" or "the Third"; and the "Eldest Brother" (the central head, Ichi, "the First") and "Eld'''er''' Brother/Young'''er''' Brother" (the right head, Ni, "the Second").

[[folder: Manda (Mandazawa) -- UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD]]

!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''[[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/185769385301 Titanus Manda]]''
A newborn marine serpentine Titan and the offspring of a long-dead old friend of Godzilla.

* CatlikeDragons: His physical body language as an infant is a lot like a kitten, which gets briefly {{lampshaded}}.
* ADogNamedDog: He's named after his father the Lord of Dragons, and his species.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: His father was the [[spoiler:protector of Mu]] and an old friend to Godzilla, but nothing is known about his mother except that she and the Lord of Dragons had intended to start a nest.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/637226140951625728/ The author's intention]] is to make his {{Reincarnation}} this: is Manda truly Serizawa reborn or a different entity entirely?
* NotSoExtinct: Godzilla assumed that the previous Manda and his kind were extinct before becoming aware of Manda's egg.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The last survivor of an ancient, draconic Titan species which lived around Yonaguni and resemble eastern dragons quite closely in appearance and behavior. Manda (and his kind) have a very snake-like body shape with green or blue scales, crystalline-looking spines, horns and antlers, and cerata appendages vaguely resembling wings.
* {{Protectorate}}: His egg before he's born, in Chapter 13.
* RedBaron: Possibly. His father is described by Godzilla as "Lord of Dragons".
* {{Reincarnation}}: It's implied he might be (see MaybeMagicMaybeMundane) a reincarnation of Dr. Serizawa, though without memory of his past life unlike Mothra. The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/637226140951625728/ suggested]] it might be a cosmic reward to Serizawa for making a HeroicSacrifice to a [[BigGood god]].
* ReincarnationFriendship: Assuming he is Serizawa reincarnated, him imprinting on Monster X (particularly Vivienne's head) as a surrogate mother seems like this, considering Serizawa and Vivienne had the same kind of relationship with the roles reversed. Manda also seems particularly fascinated by Ren, hinting at another familial variation.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He's only comparatively small by Titan standards, but the infant Manda fits this trope to a T.
* [[SeaSerpents Sea Serpent]]: A rather draconic example (his species are outright described as dragons), although his father was benevolent towards human seafarers, and it looks like he'll be following the same route.
* StockSoundEffects: As a baby, he has a certain chirping sound effect, [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/631248784044736512/ according to the author]].
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: He has amber-gold eyes. The "supernatural" part becomes more relevant due to the hints that he might be Dr. Serizawa reincarnated.
* ThemeNaming: Manda's name continues the ADogNamedDog tradition among Titans.
* WalkingSpoiler: Technically averted, as the author wasn't secretive on her Tumblr about [=Manda=]/Mandazawa's nature.

! Monarch
[[folder: Drs. Ilene and Ling Chen]]
Monarch scientists and identical twin sisters, whose family have worshipped Mothra for generations. They’re the mother and aunt respectively of Ziyi and Yong.

* FlashbackNightmare: Ilene admits in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/7 Chapter 7]] that she still has nightmares of Vivienne's death in Antarctica nearly a year on, [[spoiler:before the twins find out Vivienne is alive]].
* HumansAreFlawed: {{Discussed}} by Ilene in Chapter 12 as part of a shared KirkSummation about Emma Russell's faults.
* OCStandIn: Dr. Ling's personality gets a bit more development to show her similarities and differences from her sister, whereas in Franchise/MonsterVerse canon she's so far been a FlatCharacter with only one scene (two in the ''King of the Monsters'' novelization).
* ShipperOnDeck: PlayedWith. Ling teases Ilene about her interactions with Mark.

[[folder: Dr. Houston Brooks]]
An older Monarch scientist, responsible for monitoring Mothra at Outpost 61.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Like in Franchise/MonsterVerse canon. He's a mellow enough person and can even be somewhat nervous, but he's no pushover.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: His response to the analysis of Monster X's DNA in Chapter 7 establishes him to be this.

[[folder: Dr. Rick Stanton]]
A Monarch scientist who's currently stationed at Castle Bravo.

* DeadpanSnarker: Apparently, he and Vivienne have something of a friendship based around their ability to wittily match each-other in this regard.
* HiddenDepths: He already showed clear signs of being a good person beneath the DeadpanSnarker in the film; but in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/12 Chapter 12]], he admits that he self-reflects and worries his [[TheCynic cynicism]] might be pushing him towards the DespairEventHorizon.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: He serves this role from at Castle Bravo when informing Outpost 61-a of immediate Titan activity.

[[folder: Dr. Ishirō Serizawa]]
A prominent Monarch scientist who was essentially the organization's figurehead when alive, and the father of Ren. He had a very close relationship with Vivienne before his death and Vivienne's first death during the Mass Awakening.

* DeaderThanDead: Briefly {{discussed}} in relation to him in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/5/ Chapter 5]]. Vivienne believes that because Serizawa's body was completely vaporized, she and San couldn't bring him back the same way San resurrected her if they tried.
* FamedInStory: He's posthumously regarded the world over as something of a legend following his HeroicSacrifice.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: He had a variation with Vivienne (see her folder for details).
* OlderThanTheyLook: It's briefly lampshaded in Chapter 12 that he looked more like a man in his fifties than seventies.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Vivienne, he was a father figure, and it's strongly suggested that although she never told him she felt that way, he reciprocated the feeling. It gets PlayedForDrama in the story.
* ParentsAsPeople: PlayedWith. He was a great scientist, a wise figurehead, and he and Vivienne were mutually dear to each-other, but his son Ren could tell that Serizawa was closer to Vivienne than to his flesh-and-blood son because Serizawa and Vivienne saw eye-to-eye more.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Him and Vivienne were this, something he more or less acknowledges to her in a flashback in Chapter 5. Ilene thinks in Chapter 11 that Vivienne's death shook Serizawa to the core for the short remainder of his life.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's dead, but his memory lingers strongly throughout the story, especially with Vivienne.
* [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}}: Though it's ultimately a case of MaybeMagicMaybeMundane, it's suggested that the newborn Manda might actually be Serizawa reincarnated]].
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Very tragically {{discussed}} by Ilene and Madison in Chapter 11. They suspect Serizawa was partly motivated to make his HeroicSacrifice in the hope that he and [[PlatonicLifePartners Vivienne]] would somehow be reunited in death, since he was unaware that Vivienne was OnlyMostlyDead after Ghidorah ate her]].
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: It's implied his relationship with Ren was like this, making time to visit Ren rarely.

[[folder: Colonel Diane Foster]]
The experienced leader of Monarch's G-Team.

* ColonelBadass: Like in Franchise/MonsterVerse canon.
--->"''Dust this bitch!''"
* JurisdictionFriction: {{Downplayed}} in Chapter 7 during the joint operation with Team Mauzer. She decides regardless of Team Mauzer's orders, she'll make sure no-one but Monarch can get their hands on the Titan biological samples in the abandoned outpost.
* OhCrap: Besides the G-Team's MassOhCrap in Chapter 7; in Chapter 15, Foster has one when she realizes [[spoiler:the Many were diverting Godzilla and have knocked out Castle Bravo's communications]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Compared to Admiral Stenz, she learns from her mistakes and is open-minded enough that she decides no-one but Monarch should get their hands on Ghidorah's or Monster X's DNA.
--->"''The last time I didn't take a scientist seriously the world almost ended.''"
* ScientistVsSoldier: {{Defied}} and {{averted}} by her, as described under JurisdictionFriction.
[[/folder]]


[[folder: Lieutenant Ford Brody]]
A former EOD specialist in the U.S. military who transferred to Monarch's G-Team after the Mass Awakening. He's the husband of Elle Brody and the father of Sam Brody.

* TheBusCameBack: He's so far appeared twice in the story, although he's DemotedToExtra.
* DemotedToExtra: He appears a couple times in the story but is a supporting character, compared to his protagonist role in ''Film/Godzilla2014''.
* OhCrap: He and the G-Team have a MassOhCrap reaction in Chapter 7 when they become aware of Ghidorah's severed head. Ford specifically says, "Shit."

[[folder: Lauren Griffin]]
The G-Team's skilled pilot.

* OhCrap: She has one in Chapter 15 when she realizes the Many are headed towards [[spoiler:Castle Bravo]], where they can seize more Titan biomass for themselves.
--->"''Oh, shit.''"
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Vivienne (see her folder for details).

[[folder: Jackson Barnes]]
A G-Team soldier who participates in the joint rescue mission with Team Mauzer.

* PluckyComicRelief: The tradition from the film continues in Chapter 15.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: PlayedForLaughs when Scylla shows up. Turns out Barnes is arachnophobic.

[[folder: Elle Brody]]
The wife of Lieutenant Ford Brody and mother of Sam Brody, who transferred to work for Monarch following the Mass Awakening.

* OhCrap: She and Zima share one when they suspect [[spoiler:the FetusTerrible nature of Esfir, Zadezhda and Lubyov's pregnancies]].

! Affiliates and Other Allies
[[folder: Madison Russell]]
The teenaged daughter of Mark Russell and the late Monarch operative-turned-eco terrorist Emma Russell. She had a close mother-daughter relationship with Vivienne before the events in Antarctica.

* BerserkButton: She immediately (and loudly) shuts Mariko down when the latter starts mentioning Emma in a positive light in Chapter 12, participating in the subsequent collective KirkSummation.
* DaddysGirl: She's apparently stuck with her father to make sure he doesn't go off the deep end again since the events in Boston, with her mother dead and [[ParentalSubstitute Vivienne]] having been believed dead since Antarctica.
* DemotedToExtra: Her role in this story is a bit more minor than in ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019''.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: She has no problem angrily accusing San to his face in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/8 Chapter 8]]. {{Justified}} as Madison was quite emotional at the time, San is attached to the same Titan body as Vivienne (who would never let any harm befall Madison), and Madison could quickly run indoors if need be; to say nothing of her DefiantToTheEnd close call in the movie.
* JustAKid: Mark says this about her almost word-for-word in Chapter 8 -- notably, he cuts her off from speaking when he says it -- prompting Ilene to point out that Madison has previously proven capable beyond her age.
* MisplacedRetribution: In Chapter 8, she angrily brings up Ghidorah chasing her in Boston, unaware that San only has the decapitated head's memories and genuinely doesn't remember what his AlternateSelf did. She also says that San killed Vivienne, though it was technically Ichi who did that while San just did the resurrecting and transforming parts.
* ShellShockedVeteran: She has some treated PTSD, not nearly as bad as Vivienne's untreated PTSD, from her encounters with Ghidorah and the events in Boston.
* ThatLiarLies: When snapping at San, she assumes he's lying when he says he doesn't remember Ghidorah trying to kill her in Boston, and gets understandably pissed; unaware that San [[CannotTellALie literally lacks a concept of lying]].

[[folder: Dr. Mark Russell]]
Madison's father, who suffers SurvivorGuilt after Vivienne Graham's apparent death in Antarctica which occurred partly due to her saving his life.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Introduced into [=AbraxasVerse=] before ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' came out. On top of losing Emma and struggling to accept that his child has already grown up in many ways because of what she went through, Mark here suffers from SurvivorGuilt that he hasn't shown in [=MonsterVerse=] canon.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: In Chapter 8, he doesn't believe that Vivienne is BackFromTheDead transformed into a hybrid Titan, prompting Mariko to remind him of Ghidorah's other borderline-[[EldritchAbomination Eldritch]] super-abilities which Mark himself witnessed.
* CommanderContrarian: He has shades of this. Besides his ArbitrarySkepticism point, he's notably unconvinced that San has made a HeelFaceTurn, and it's when Madison finds a possible lead on where the Many have taken Monster X to that [[HotBlooded he of all people]] decides they ''shouldn't'' be hasty for once.
* DemotedToExtra: He's a more minor character in this story, whereas in ''King of the Monsters'' he was one of the main human characters.
* {{Facepalm}}: In Chapter 10, this is basically his despairing response to the news that someone besides Monarch saw Monster X fighting Rodan.
* FatalFlaw: {{Downplayed}}. Like in ''King of the Monsters'' and the novelization, he still has a tendency to run and hide from his emotional problems instead of confronting them. He at first refuses to see Vivienne because he's in his own words scared, and later when he sees her in person he unloads what he wants to say to her at a less-than-opportune time.
* FlippingTheBird: His friendly-banter response to Brooks pointing out the pack-alpha theory about wolves is outdated, in Chapter 11.
* IdiotBall: He handles it in Chapter 8 when [[spoiler:Monster X is being reborn]], asking why Monarch aren't trying to fence it with a containment field, which prompts Mariko to spell out why that would be a very idiotic move.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He gets called out on this by Mariko with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech (see below).
* JerkassRealization: The story basically confirms the film's implications that he had one about his past {{jerkass}} behavior when Godzilla was seemingly killed.
* MisplacedRetribution: He hates San for Ghidorah killing Vivienne in Antarctica, which was technically San's brother's doing while San just resurrected and transformed her afterwards.
* MyBelovedSmother: Initially, his first impulse is to shield Madison from further trauma physical or psychological, despite her having already proved her metal in Boston.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gets one from Mariko about his past {{jerkass}} qualities and his lingering ItsAllAboutMe behavior.
--->'''Mark Russell''': Do you realize how it feels to relive losing a child to monsters turning your home into a war zone?! How close I probably was to losing my daughter the same way I lost my son?!\\
'''Mariko''': Oh, shut up for once and get in line, Russell! You talk like you're the only one who's suffered! What about everyone else who lost someone, or everyone? Do they not count? Just faceless statistics? What's so special about you that makes your problems so much more important? You talk on and on about how much you hate the Titans and how we should have killed them and blah blah blah! Spouting bullshit is all you're good for! And Graham — would you say she spent her life saving yours? Because it sounds to me like she wasted it on you!
* SurvivorGuilt: He's been suffering this because of Vivienne's death in Antarctica. It doesn't get better when Vivienne returns transformed into part of Monster X, until she sets him straight in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/9 Chapter 9]].
* TakeThat: Mariko having little tolerance for Mark's bullcrap (in contrast to the patient if exasperated way other Monarch characters treat him in the film and the fic), coupled with the SurvivorGuilt and YouShouldHaveDiedInstead he's received over Vivienne's HeroicSacrifice that saved him in Antarctica; seem like the author bashing Mark without crossing into Ron the Death Eater territory, as the author has admitted she finds Mark [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/624662973395386368/ considerably less likable and more annoying than Vivienne]]. It's quite satisfying for readers who feel the same way as her about Mark in [=MonsterVerse=] canon.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: His response in Chapter 9 to learning Ghidorah [[spoiler:is not permanently dead yet]].
* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: It's revealed in Chapter 9 that whilst no-one says it to his face, he knows many people at Monarch have felt this towards him regarding Vivienne's death in Antarctica, and it's implied it's significantly fueled his own SurvivorGuilt.

[[folder: Ziyi and Yong Chen]]
The toddler-age identical twin daughters of Dr. Ilene Chen, who are located at Outpost 61a with their mother and their aunt Ling.

* MeaningfulName: Yong's name, meaning "eternal"/"perpetual" as [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648764829724819456/ noted by the author]], is rather fitting because of Mothra's immortality and the Chens' preternatural HereditaryTwinhood.
* OCStandIn: Their personalities and their relationship with Vivienne gets a bit of development, whereas in the Franchise/MonsterVerse these two have so far only ever appeared in a Chen family photo and are unnamed.

[[folder: Steve Martin]]
A photo-journalist who's among the {{Paparazzi}} drawn by the new topic of Monster X.

* GoingForTheBigScoop: An ethical example, but he's quite happy to be legally filming Monster X up close in Chapter 11.
* IntrepidReporter: He's among the {{Paparazzi}} who give Monarch a spot of security bother, but is concerned about reporting to people while encouraging them to act reasonably about the information.

[[folder: Susan Graham]]
The widowed mother of Vivienne.

* AdultFear: It's revealed in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/15/ Chapter 15]] that she used to genuinely worry about Vivienne's life due to her line of work and Monarch’s socio-political unpopularity at the time.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She was a nice old lady, but turned pretty fearsome when she thought someone was mocking her dead loved one.
* CryIntoChest: [[spoiler:She does a cry-into-their-snout variation with Vivienne, who is likewise crying with her, in Chapter 15]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Chapter 15 shows through her where Vivienne gets it from.
* DeathGlare: Gave Sam Coleman a rather frightening look at one point.
* NatureLover: Vivienne mentions that one of the last time she spoke to her mother, she wanted to see the hammerhead sharks at Yonaguni.
* OCStandIn: In the Franchise/MonsterVerse canon she was [[TheGhost only mentioned]] in [[AllThereInTheManual Manual]] materials.
* [[spoiler:OutlivingOnesOffspring: Or so she thinks, initially unaware that Vivienne was OnlyMostlyDead. It's had an impact on her]].
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:{{Subverted}}.]] Both Vivienne and the reader are in the dark for a while about whether she's still alive or died during Ghidorah's global Titan havoc, [[spoiler:before it's revealed in Chapter 11 she's alive]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She [[spoiler:gets one from San (see his folder)[[note]]Listed there to avoid spoilers[[/note]]]]; overlaps with CallingTheOldManOut.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To her daughter Vivienne when the latter was human (see Vivienne's folder for details).
* [[spoiler:ThatThingIsNotMyChild: The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/640223530836967424/ confirmed]] that Susan is very much thinking this at first when she encounters Monster X, not because of Vivienne's transformation but because she truly believes it isn't Vivienne]].

[[folder: Ren Serizawa]]
The son of the late Dr. Ishirō Serizawa, who is investigating the Yonaguni Monument. He isn't a Monarch operative, but is in communication with them.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Compared to the ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' version of Ren, let just say the [=AbraxasVerse=] version isn't a MugglePower ruthless EvilGenius out to see Godzilla killed.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Alongside the AdaptationalHeroism, this version of Ren is interested in marine archaeology and so far hasn't shown any affinity for tech work.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Though he didn't quite understand his father's and Vivienne's reverence of the Titans, he gains an awareness of their {{Physical God}}hood in Chapter 13.
* FailedASpotCheck: When informed in Chapter 13 that multiple Titans are approaching Yonaguni, he doesn't realize ''what'' the hell that means he (currently on the island's open waters) should be doing at this very moment.
* FailureToSaveMurder: A non-fatal variation, and {{downplayed}}. In Chapter 16, Mark is quick to lay into him after [[spoiler:Monster X is abducted by the Many]], just because Ren happened to be there shortly before it happened, even though as Ren points out there was literally nothing he could've done.
* GreenEyedMonster: He's aware of how his father [[LikeADaughterToMe felt towards Vivienne]], and it had an impact on his relationships with them.
* HeroicNeutral: The [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/641317119466815488/ author]] has described Ren as being roughly here on the alignment chart. He's a civilian rather than a member of Monarch, and he only becomes a major part of the situation after trouble comes to him and when he has something of a personal stake in it.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Dr. Brooks lampshades in Chapter 11 that he's studying marine history including Titans, not unlike his late father's interest in Godzilla.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: The above having been said, Ren isn't as stoic or secure as his father was, and he also didn't understand his father's and Vivienne's reverent attitude towards the Titans for a long time.
* NotSoStoic: Vivienne notes that unlike Dr. Serizawa's stoic personality, Ren's frosty demeanor is more of a mask which he uses to restrain his unresolved emotional issues (and he has a few regarding his late father).
* OCStandIn: The ''Abraxas'' version of Ren was introduced when the character was still TheGhost in Franchise/MonsterVerse canon, before he was confirmed to appear in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong''.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Mentally {{invoked}} by him in Chapter 14. He wonders if devastation to population centers by battling Titans will one day become as much the norm as traffic jams in the near-future.
* WhenHeSmiles: He's apparently not known to smile often, but when Vivienne sees him smiling in Chapter 13, it's a bittersweet reminder of the late Dr. Serizawa.

[[folder: Nadezhda, Esfir and Lubyov]]
Pregnant female survivors from the abandoned Monarch outpost who encountered Jonah's Basement Club.

* ChildByRape: Certainly PlayedWith regarding their unborn children, who are apparently [[spoiler:the result of non-consensual artificial insemination by the Basement Club. Their Children of Zmei are implied to be FetusTerrible not so much because of this trope as because of the nature of their connection to Ghidorah]].
* FetusTerrible: Their as-yet unborn offspring, [[spoiler:implied to be the result of artificial insemination by the Basement Club and to be connected to [[SatanicArchetype Ghidorah]], appear to be this]].
* FreakOut: Esfir's mind seems to be broken after her traumatic ordeal at the Basement Club's hands.
* HappilyMarried: Nadezhda and her husband Zima.
* OnlyOneName: They're only known by their first names. Nadezhda and Esfir's last names consist of six characters respectively, and Lubyov's last name consists of ten characters.
* OnlySaneWoman: Nadezhda appears well-adjusted with a relatively normal and non-quirky personality compared to the other two.
* OriginalCharacter: The three of them are apparently not based on any characters or [[OCStandIn background extras]] from the Franchise/MonsterVerse canon.
* PossessionBurnout: PlayedWith. It's mentioned in Chapter 15 that Nadezhda is losing weight as [[spoiler:her pregnancy progresses]].
* TheVoiceless: Lubyov hasn't been described speaking a single word, and is described InUniverse as "deathly silent" and as having always been quiet.

!Alan Jonah's organization
[[folder: Alan Jonah]]
A former British Army colonel, who leads an underground paramilitary organization of mercenaries and eco-terrorists. He’s responsible for retrieving the severed Ghidorah head that Monster X is growing inside, and keeping Viv and San caged after their rebirth to further his misanthropic goals.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Aside from making a snark about how beautiful Monster X looks, during his SanitySlippage he seemingly starts to really view Monster X and/or Ghidorah as a superior lifeform (though it's not enough to stop him trying to break them), [[spoiler:and becomes a straight-up pro-Ghidorah fanatic when he's joined with the Many]].
* AlasPoorVillain: Though he's still an evil man who's way past the Moral Event Horizon, the revelation just after his death that he [[spoiler:wanted to use Monster X or Ghidorah's HealingFactor to try and resurrect his dead daughter]] can evoke just a little pity for him.
* ArcVillain: He serves as the primary/most visible villain for the first six chapters' StoryArc, when San and Vivienne are in their crippled first form and are imprisoned by him.
* AxCrazy: Has an uncharacteristic bout of this in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/5 Chapter 5]] involving a napalm experiment, signifying his SanitySlippage. [[spoiler:Then he joins the Many's shared Ax-Crazy]].
* BadBoss: There's his lack of consideration for his soldiers' welfare (see ItsAllAboutMe), which may be {{justified}} by his SanitySlippage. He states in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/2 Chapter 2]] that he'll have any {{Disposable Vagrant}}s who show signs of [[MercifulMinion feeling too sorry for Monster X]] shot; [[spoiler:to say nothing of his PlayingWithSyringes]].
* BigBadWannabe / DiscOneFinalBoss: He serves as the main human BigBad for the first several chapters, [[spoiler:then becomes a meat puppet to Ghidorah]].
* BreakThemByTalking: He tries this on Monster X in Chapter 5. They later turn the tables on him with a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "Reason You Suck" Speech]].
* TheCorruptible: He isn't a decent person by any stretch before his SanitySlippage starts showing, and it's probably why he went the way he did instead of becoming a suicidal ReluctantPsycho.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He gets ripped off of a monstrous ArtificialZombie FusionDance he was part of and squeezed to pulp]].
* DeathByAdaptation: His death is introduced in ''Abraxas'' before ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' and its novelization came out. The ''[=GvK=]'' novel indicates Jonah is still at large at least three years after the events of ''King of the Monsters'' in [=MonsterVerse=] canon, whereas in [=AbraxasVerse=] he's killed for good just a year after the film's events.
* DirtyCoward: He's not so willing to risk or sacrifice his own life, but is fine with killing others if he thinks it'll aid his goals. San and Vivienne consider him a coward, and he's definitely not quite as strong as he thinks he is.
* EvilIsNotAToy: He evidently [[IgnoredEpiphany hasn't taken any meaningful lessons away]] from what happened when he and Emma thought they could make Ghidorah do what they wanted it to, based on his PlayingWithSyringes and his trafficking of Ghidorah's DNA.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: He expresses a belief in his SanitySlippage in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/6 Chapter 6]] that humans and Titans need to be fused like what Ghidorah has done to Vivienne, in order to remake the world anew.
* FatalFlaw: Pride. It's him being a SmugSnake when it comes to imprisoning and manipulating Monster X, and also messing with the decapitated Ghidorah-head and overall thinking himself a stronger and smarter person than he really is, that ultimately bites him in the ass.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He pulls this off with hints of DeadpanSnarker towards Mariko and Vivienne.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Vivienne thinks as much when he tries to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] SympathyForTheDevil, mentally noting his tragedy doesn't in any way justify putting ''millions'' of innocent others through the same pain he experienced.
* HateSink: If him ordering the cruel experiments on Monster X and him attempting to break Vivienne down to brainwash her aren’t enough to induce this, then the revelation that he's [[spoiler:been having his DisposableVagrant labor (who mostly consist of families with children who lost their homes in the Mass Awakening) kidnapped, experimented on and turned into the {{Artificial Zombie}}s and his little VillainousBreakdown]] in Chapter 6 will.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He's a lot less willing to sacrifice his life compared to sacrificing others' lives (including someone who was like a son to him) for the so-called "greater good".
* IgnoredEpiphany: He's obviously responded this way to the aftermath of Ghidorah's death and the subsequent human-Titan coexistence. So long as there are human beings in the world, he'll never be satisfied.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He doesn't care much about his soldiers' welfare during his SanitySlippage, and he's called out in the same scene for using his surrogate son as a meat-shield but being unwilling to risk his own life when Emma Russell held him at gunpoint. As Vivienne notes, he's indirectly caused millions or billions of people to suffer all because of his own personal loss. [[spoiler:And there's his true motivation for sacrificing people to his PlayingWithSyringes...]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: He snarkily asks Mariko if she's proud of getting her friends killed when she set Behemoth loose, in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/3 Chapter 3]]. She doesn't give a proper answer.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He's killed for good by the same two-headed Titan he tortured and tried to break down]].
* LackOfEmpathy: Has zero compunctions against ruthlessly breaking down Monster X to further his own goals, [[spoiler:or against using his paramilitary's manual labour as unwilling human guinea-pigs for PlayingWithSyringes]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: He has the hubris to mess with the remains of a highly-regenerative and omnicidal EldritchAbomination, [[spoiler:and he creates {{Artificial Zombie}}s from non-consenting human test subjects. He eventually shares his victims' fate due to Ghidorah's remains inducing SanitySlippage and making him a pawn; to say nothing of his KarmicDeath]].
* LeanAndMean: Vivienne at one point lampshades this trope in passing, noting Jonah has always had this kind of figure about him.
* LittleNo: He gives the first type in response to Vivienne's warnings to him in Chapter 6, although it's completely arrogant on his part.
* MadScientist: [[spoiler:His SanitySlippage makes him seem to wholly devolve into this during his PlayingWithSyringes, before he turns into part of the Many]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: It's implied that Vivienne learning of Serizawa's death, which Jonah wanted her to be informed of to break her down, might've contributed to Viv and San forming a stable relationship which enabled them to better work together.
* OhCrap:
** When he realizes he was too late preventing Monster X from finding out about his PlayingWithSyringes.
** And when he's about to die [[spoiler:after what's left of him is ripped out of the Many's construct]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Colonel Foster knows something isn't right when she becomes aware of Jonah's AxCrazy moment, in Chapter 7.
* ParentalSubstitute: Asher (a.k.a. Ash) was [[LikeASonToMe like a son]] to him. It wasn't enough to make Jonah consider putting him in a non-risky position to increase Ash's chances of staying alive, though.
* NonActionBigBad: He seems like this, considering the protagonists are a two-headed half-Ghidorah {{kaiju}}, though he's ultimately a DiscOneFinalBoss.
* PlayingWithSyringes: It's revealed that he's been dabbling in this, [[spoiler:using the {{Disposable Vagrant}}s as unwilling test subjects; fusing Ghidorah's DNA to humans and creating {{Artificial Zombie}}s]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gets one from San and Vivienne in Chapter 6 for using someone who was [[LikeASonToMe like a son to him]] as a meat-shield and being unwilling to risk his own skin:
--->'''Vivienne''': Did you stop and think, maybe have someone else take point? Someone who isn't like your own family? A real father would trust his son's abilities, but still do what he can to help him. I would have risked my life to save someone. I ''died'' saving someone.\\
'''Jonah''': Congratulations, you’re a hero.\\
'''San''': And you. Are a cow-ard.\\
'''Vivienne''': You said Madison escaped with the ORCA. Remember that? So how did Emma get out? Did she help Madison, or…\\
[…]\\
'''Jonah:''' […] Since my men refused to cooperate, she held me at gunpoint.\\
'''Vivienne''': And?\\
'''Jonah''': …I let her go.\\
'''Vivienne''': Imagine that. Hardened mercenaries against one scientist. Tell us, ''Colonel'', did you think your men wouldn’t fire fast enough before she took the shot?\\
'''San''': Would you. Have sacri-ficed one of your own. To keep your-self. A-live?
* RestartTheWorld: He basically invokes this in relation to Monster X and [[spoiler:the Many]] when he's increasingly suffering SanitySlippage in Chapter 6.
* SanitySlippage: Due to the severed Ghidorah-head's borderline-MindRape psychic influence. First he has an AxCrazy episode, then he becomes more unkempt and acts eerily like he's been spending too much time around [[MassEffect/MassEffectRaceTropes Reaper tech]]. [[spoiler:Finally, he becomes an insane, fanatical part of the Many]]. The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/645773162912546816 went into further detail]] about what it's early stages were probably like from Jonah's perspective.
* SlasherSmile: After his SanitySlippage, he at one point gives Monster X a "rictus grimace of a smile".
* SmugSnake: He thinks he can psychologically break down Monster X as he did Emma Russell, and there's him holding the VillainBall. He's also too arrogant to realize he's experiencing an induced SanitySlippage courtesy of the Ghidorah head, thinking he's been enlightened.
* SympathyForTheDevil: He tries to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] this by bringing up what happened to his daughter in Chapter 6. Vivienne doesn't fall for it, noting FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse for the things he's done. Vivienne suspects Jonah previously used this trick successfully on Emma Russell to turn her to the dark side.
* TragicVillain: Similarly to in the ''King of the Monsters'' novelization, his turn to villainy was mainly triggered by the murder of his daughter years ago. [[spoiler:And he was meddling with Ghidorah's DNA and Monster X because he believed he could resurrect a lost loved one, implied to be his daughter]].
* UnwittingPawn: It's implied he might've been the kind that blunders into helping rather than being actively manipulated, when he sold tissue samples extracted from the severed Ghidorah head on to other parties.
* VillainBall: It doesn't occur to him that caging and abusing a pissed human-Ghidorah hybrid in such a way as he does might bite him in the ass once it inevitably can't be contained any longer. Particularly prominent considering what previously happened when Jonah tried making Ghidorah do what he wanted it to.
* VillainousBreakdown:
** He has a minor one when Monster X is escaping and he's on the wrong side of the chamber doors.
** His whole SanitySlippage can be seen as a Villainous Breakdown that's forced on him by receiving MindRape and TheCorruption, up to his death.
* VillainousLegacy: Although he's dead after [[spoiler:Chapter 13]], the Many which he created remain a threat. Also, [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648508725162803200/ the author thinks]] that [[spoiler:it was from his mind specifically that Ghidorah learned through the Many about ''Literature/ParadiseLost'' and formed a particularly horrible part of its EvilPlan for Monster X]].
* VirtueIsWeakness: This seems to be his attitude, based on his thoughts about humanity overall and Vivienne's sacrifice in Antarctica.
* VoicesAreMental: [[spoiler:Vivienne recognizes his voice among the Many's psychic [[IAmLegion Legion voices]] in Chapter 13]].

[[folder: Dr. Mariko]]
A former Monarch operative who set Behemoth loose during the Mass Awakening, causing the deaths of her co-workers, and went into hiding.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Like most of Monarch, she reveres the Titans. Though she is horrified by Monster X's BodyHorror when she first encounters it in Chapter 3.
* AffablyEvil: She draws the line at places, but she did get her co-workers killed by releasing Behemoth. [[https://archiveofourown.org/comments/252742880 The author herself seems to consider Mariko this]].
* DeadpanSnarker: She's demonstrated that Vivienne, Stanton and Russell aren't the only ones in Monarch who have such a way with words.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite admiring the Titans to the point of committing [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremism]], she’s revolted from the get-go at Monster X’s initial state of painful BodyHorror, and finds it appalling how the creature (specifically Vivienne, formerly a human being) is treated by Jonah’s paramilitary.
* HeelFaceTurn: ZigZagged. It hits a nerve when Vivienne brings up the deaths of her co-workers. After she's taken into custody by Monarch, she doesn't seem resistant to whatever penalty she'll face for her criminal actions.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: A little, when she and Tejada are holed up with other survivors for days off-screen.
* {{Infodump}}: She pulls a small and rather {{justified}} one in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/14/Abraxas Chapter 14]], when hosting a Monarch livestream [[spoiler:which explains Monster X's true nature to the public]].
* LastSecondWordSwap: She almost calls Monster X by Vivienne's name before she catches herself and rectifies it.
* LittleNo: She gives a brief one of the third type in Chapter 3 when she recognizes Vivienne's facial structure in Monster X.
* OnlyOneName: She's only known by her first name.
* ReluctantMadScientist: Jonah recruits her because he wants an expert in Titan biology, and Mariko seems to consider their alliance to be TeethClenchedTeamwork. Watching Vivienne being tortured only increases Mariko's reluctance.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: She was presumed dead by Monarch after Behemoth's escape, and went off the grid.
* ScarsAreForever: She's somewhat disfigured from the destruction of Outpost 58, with noticeable skin grafts on her face.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Alongside Tejada when it becomes clear that everyone in the mercenaries' base is in danger.
* StunnedSilence: She and Tejada react this way when Jonah shoots one of his {{Mook}}s dead trying to stop his [[spoiler:[[TestedOnHumans human testing]] on his own {{Disposable Vagrant}}s]] from being exposed.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: From the start, she isn't enthusiastic about working with Jonah. Later, she allies with San and Vivienne in Chapter 6 though the duo neither trust nor particularly like her.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She set Behemoth loose and caused the deaths of her co-workers because she agreed with Emma Russell that the Titans are gods that should be freed to reclaim the world.

[[folder: Tejada]]
A mercenary in Jonah's organization at the hidden outpost.

* AffablyEvil: Mariko comments that Tejada is an okay person despite her allegiance. Though she’s not the sensitive type, she proves to be this.
* BigWhat: She follows up on her FlatWhat with this.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's disgusted by Jonah's lack of regard for his soldiers when he refuses to get them away from the Ghidorah head, in Chapter 6.
* FlatWhat: She initially responds this way in Chapter 11, when she's first informed that [[spoiler:San's original Ghidorah-head has disappeared]].
* HeelFaceTurn: After pulling a ScrewThisImOuttaHere and being apprehended, she has no problems with spilling everything she knows about Jonah's operations and aiding the military torch-and-bury operation.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: A little bit, during the intervening time between her ScrewThisImOuttaHere and the next time we see her [[spoiler:holed up with other survivors]].
* MauveShirt: She's one of multiple mercenaries with her own lines, and [[spoiler:makes it out of the organization alive]].
* OnlyOneName: Her first name is unknown but it begins with a V.
* OCStandIn: The author confirmed [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/628652716177096704/ here]] that she's the shave-headed female {{Mook}} who is visible in the background in ''King of the Monsters''.
* PetTheDog: She tries in vain to go after the MookLieutenant she was friends with when he runs to his death.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: It was somewhat forced by a pressing situation but also influenced by the revelation about Asher's death. Nevertheless, she joins Mariko [[spoiler: in trying to get word out to Monarch]], and after being apprehended, she seems to have given up on Jonah's madness entirely.
* StunnedSilence: She's momentarily speechless when Jonah silences a {{Mook}} via gunshot due to said Mook breathing a word of [[spoiler:the Basement Club's [[TestedOnHumans human experimentation]]]].
* VillainousFriendship: With her unnamed friend whom she's rarely seen without before Chapter 7, and with Kauffman.
* VillainsOutShopping: She spends downtime with her unnamed friend playing cards in Chapter 6.

[[folder: Sergeant Travis]]
One of Jonah's henchmen, who experiences a SanitySlippage due to Ghidorah's lingering influence.

* AffablyEvil: Mariko comments he’s alright for a [[WesternTerrorists Western Terrorist]], and he does seem like a pretty normal guy before the crazy.
* AlasPoorVillain: Despite being a bad guy, it’s hard to not feel sorry about what happens to him.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:He survives the Many initially overrunning the outpost, only to get assimilated by them]].
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:After blowing his brains out, his corpse is turned by Jonah’s Basement Club into one of the {{Artificial Zombie}}s]].
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:He kills himself after his SanitySlippage which made him act like a self-harming ReluctantPsycho escalates]].
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Possibly; depending on whether or not any of his consciousness is still in the zombie]].
* OCStandIn: He's based on a minor named character from the movie {{novelization}}, and the author confirmed [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/628652716177096704/ here]] that he's intended to be the unnamed speaking {{Mook}} from the movie scene where Emma awakens Rodan.
* OnlyOneName: He's only known by his last name. His first name apparently consists of seven characters.
* ReluctantPsycho: ZigZagged. He doesn't turn AxCrazy, but it becomes clear something's wrong inside his noggin, and he's torturously aware of it, pleading that he just wants to feel like himself again.
* SanitySlippage: Due to exposure to the Ghidorah-head; making him think he can constantly hear Ghidorah communicating with him, rendering him insomniac, eventually driving him to self-harm with his ''fingernails'', and generally increasingly turning his mind to mush [[spoiler:until he commits suicide]].
* TroubledFetalPosition: He's curled in this position after his SanitySlippage has progressed, in Chapter 7.

[[folder: Guard [=B-04=]]]
A guard assigned to monitor Monster X while it's caged, who is notably cruel towards Vivienne.

* AssholeVictim: For anyone who reads attentively and notices his death, there's nothing but satisfaction at Monster X killing him brutally.
* BullyingADragon: Goes out of his way to make utterly cruel taunts at Vivienne for no other reason than shits and giggles, and even ''Jonah'' gets peeved at him stepping out of line. [[AssholeVictim He pays for it]].
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: There’s nothing recognizable left when San is through with him.
* DirtyCoward: It's made fairly clear that he only dares cruelly taunt Vivienne while she and San are behind a containment field or being watched by numerous armed guards so the two-headed chimera can't get to him.
* HateSink: He manages to do this in just a few scenes, making his slow and excruciating death all the more satisfying.
* {{Jerkass}}: We've already pretty much said it above.
* KarmicDeath: Of the BullyingTheDragon variety, and it is apparently anything but quick and painless.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Calls Vivienne "Grammy" in reference to her last name at one point.

!The Many - UNMARKED SPOILERS BELOW
[[folder: In General]]

Monstrous undead abominations, created by Alan Jonah's experiments on Ghidorah's DNA from the decapitated head while Ghidorah was regenerating.

* AndYourLittleDogToo: It threatens to go after Vivienne's human loved ones in Chapter 13, declaring it knows where they are.
* AnimateDead: It can reanimate dead hosts infected with its DNA as {{Artificial Zombie}}s, thanks to the PlayingWithSyringes.
* ApocalypseCult: They very much behave like an inhuman example.
* ArtificialZombie: The Many began due to Jonah and his Basement Club's experiments with Ghidorah's DNA, and they're able to revive and assimilate dead creatures.
* AssimilationPlot: This is the Many's general attitude towards anything that isn't them or their three-headed originator, if it's worthy of anything other than dying.
* TheAssimilator: They can infect new creatures living or dead, adding them to their biomass/es and their HiveMind.
* AttackTheMouth / EatTheBomb: One of their Mind Hives tries defeating Rodan by shutting its jaws around his head in Chapter 13 -- the results are ''combustible''.
* AxCrazy: The overall gestalt and every mind that's been absorbed into it, is demented and fanatically insane, and won't hesitate to carry out its three-headed master's wishes.
* BewareMyStingerTail: The Skullcrawler amalgamation at one point uses the sharpened tip of its tail as an impaling weapon in Chapter 13.
* BodyHorror: The Many are particularly gruesome, the author having looked at bone cancer among her inspirations for their appearance. Taken UpToEleven when they perform FusionDance.
* BoomHeadshot: It doesn't work on their humanoid forms.
* BreakThemByTalking / TrashTalk: It attempts this on Vivienne. It succeeds in [[UnstoppableRage pissing Monster X off]].
* BrightIsNotGood: They partly have hard, bright golden-yellow color like Ghidorah.
* BurnTheUndead / KillItWithFire: Rodan and Godzilla actively and respectively use their fiery {{Breath Weapon}}s to kill as much of the Many's infected tissue as possible.
* CutPhoneLines: They pull a variation when they cut off Castle Bravo's communications with Yonaguni in Chapter 15, rendering Bravo unable to forewarn Monster X or anyone else at Yonaguni of the Many's true intentions.
* TheDarknessGazesBack: They pull this off with their GlowingEyesOfDoom in darkness.
* {{Dracolich}}: They infect the corpse of Manda's father and turn it into one of these.
* TheDreaded: Even Skullcrawlers flee in terror from it. Friggin' ''Skullcrawlers''!
* EldritchAbomination: It's regarded as such InUniverse by the Titans. [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/651544161598734336/ According to the author]], it helps that the Titans have absolutely no concept of undeath or of the dead's leftover meat regaining life.
* {{EMP}}: It's theorized by a Monarch operative in Chapter 15 that they used this to knock out [[spoiler:Castle Bravo]]'s power.
* EvilGloating: The MindHive of one of the Many's constructs has this for Monster X:
--->"''E͏ven͟ if̶ ̴y͡ǫu ̶kil̢l us̷ ͡yoų'̕v͜e ǫnly̵ slash͞e̶d o͘ff o̶ne̷ ten̸d͝r͝i̡l of a s͏in̡gle͘ g͏rea̢ter̢ or͜ga͝nism̵.͟ [[spoiler: ̷So m͢an̴y sam͠p̴l̨e̕s. ͟ ̧S͞o m̕a̶n̸y people͠ o͟uţ ͠t͏her͏e͝ h̛op҉i̵ng̢ ̵to͜ ͞start a famil̨y҉, b͞ut can'͝t̛ ̛co͘n͏ceive̶.

* EvilSmellsBad: They may be animate, but apparently they smell overwhelmingly like death.
* FacialHorror: Some of the human hosts infected by the Many have cancer-like growth in their skulls blinding their eyes.
* FateWorseThanDeath: A reviewer pointed out it seems fair to say every victim who becomes part of the Many suffers this trope.
* ForTheEvulz: Their message with the headcam footage in Chapter 7 seems like it was left purely to screw with the teams sent into their lair.
* FusionDance: They can perform a gruesome, ''[[Film/TheThing1982 The Thing]]'' variety.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Their initial humanoid forms have eyeshine in the dark.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Their jaundiced gold colors (like Ghidorah's) are an Evil Color to Monster X who has silver highlights in its armor.
* GoodLipsEvilJaws: PlayedStraight by their Dracolich form, which has exposed teeth and gums and it combats Godzilla twice.
* HealingFactor: Their constructs have one like Ghidorah's which can rapidly regenerate bodily damage.
* HiveMind: The Many and their constructs are apparently linked to each other and to Ghidorah's minds in this way.
* HorrorHunger: Chapter 15 shows their {{Mind Hive}}s are driven eerily by TheAssimilator variety.
* IAmLegion / VoicesAreMental: The psychic voice of one of the Many's constructs apparently consists of the voices of every creature assimilated into it. Some speak coherently and apparently in unison, while others are apparently babbling and wailing incoherently.
* ImmuneToBullets: Even in their human-sized forms, bullets do little more than piss them off.
* ImplacableMan: They exist solely and wholly to assimilate and kill and obey Ghidorah's wishes.
* ItCanThink: At first, they seem like mindless monstrosities with certain behaviors in their initial form. Then the Theta-1 team find the helmet with a headcam, and the Many only start showing more intelligence from there.
* NotQuiteDead: The Theta Team attempt using explosives on the Many's initial forms. It doesn't end them all.
* LightFlickerTeleportation: One of the Many pulls a camera-swivel teleportation in Chapter 7.
* LightIsNotGood: The mildest form. They're a yellow-ish color similar to Ghidorah's gold scales, and they're anything but good news.
* LosingYourHead: The undead Manda's head deliberately rips away to escape a fight with Godzilla and Scylla.
* MeaningfulName: Its name is a reference to one of Ghidorah's [[RedBaron titles]], which in turn could be interpreted as referencing Ghidorah's singular control over multiple others (the Titans) before its death.
* MindHive: Their {{Fusion Dance}}s form this.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Particularly when they perform a FusionDance of various infected humans and Skullcrawlers.
* MonsterDelay: Their humanoid forms aren't fully seen the first several times they appear.
* MonstrousHumanoid: Their first, freshly-infected humanoid bodies.
* MultipleHeadCase: Not as straight an example as Ghidorah and Monster X. One of the Many's constructs notably has an entire, semi-autonomous upper body poking out.
* NonHumanUndead: They can and will infect and assimilate Titans and Skullcrawlers.
* OneWingedAngel: Their monstrous part-Titan {{Fusion Dance}}s in Chapter 13.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They have yellowish-gold, mutated skin similar to Monster X's first form. They start off as {{Monstrous Humanoid}}s due to their origin, and in this form they prove to be eerily adept at stealth and surprisingly fast, immune to bullets, and inadverse to tearing apart and devouring prey; though they prefer to drag victims off to be assimilated into the Many. And ItCanThink.
* ParasiticHorror: They're TheVirus and TheAssimilator, but this trope is PlayedWith by the first symptom when an undamaged body is infected.
--->'''Esfir:''' SNAKES IN THE BLOOD!
* PowerIncontinence: {{Averted}}. See the below folder for details.
* PowerUpgradingDeformation: What they do to those they assimilate, especially when they fuse to form singular, even more monstrous and more powerful constructs.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: They inflict TheAssimilator variety on multiple creatures.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: They’ve carved several fanatical scrawlings into the walls of Jonah’s base, as revealed in Chapter 11.
* ShadowArchetype: The Many are similar to Monster X, and it's implied in Chapter 14 [[spoiler:by Ghidorah that they're closer to what Ichi/Eldest Brother wanted to transform Vivienne into than Monster X is]]. San and Vivienne's relationship is psychologically symbiotic, whereas the Many are slaves to Ghidorah with their humanity subsumed; and Vivienne remains a ProHumanTranshuman whereas the Many experience TranshumanTreachery within the HiveMind.
* SinisterSilhouettes: During the MonsterDelay (see above).
* AStormIsComing: A minor example. Their appearance at Yonaguni is preceded by a thunderstorm apparently generated by them rolling in.
* TalkativeLoon: They love expressing how much their omnicidal, oblivion-bringing originator is absolute truth and how [[Film/AvengersEndgame Ghidorah is inevitable]].
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The Titans often have to use this to try and fully incapacitate the Many's Mind Hives, and attempt to destroy as many leftover pieces as possible to be sure.
* TranshumanTreachery: Due to being subordinated to the Many's HiveMind and driven insane.
* VillainExitStageLeft: They make a strategic withdrawal after their first clash with the Titans.
* TheVirus: They can infect and assimilate living and dead creatures, making them able to perform {{Fusion Dance}}s with their bodies and merging their consciousnesses into the Many's HiveMind where they're hopelessly insane.
* WasOnceAMan: They're TheAssimilator, and initial {{Artificial Zombie}}s were created by Jonah's organization fusing Ghidorah's experimented-on DNA to human hosts.
* WeatherManipulation: Not as powerful as Ghidorah's HostileWeather, but they appear to cause and sustain the thunderstorm over Yonaguni in Chapter 13.
* WouldHurtAChild: Bordering on EatsBabies. They go after [[spoiler:Manda's egg (which apparently contains a fully-formed unborn hatchling)]], seeking to assimilate it.
* YouCantKillWhatsAlreadyDead: Their TheVirus and AnimateDead nature makes them very difficult to wholly kill.

[[folder: Spoiler Character]]
!! [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother

The result of Ghidorah's right head creating an autonomous "patchwork body" for itself separate of Ghidorah, using the Many. Nicknamed [=MaNi=] by the author.

* AlienBlood: He bleeds the same black blood as Ghidorah and Monster X.
* AndYourLittleDogToo: He [[spoiler:rips San's head off of Monster X and attempts to [[SwallowedWhole eat him]] in front of Vivienne]].
* AttackTheMouth: Ultimately {{downplayed}} when Vivienne violently attacks his mouth and his gullet. While it does send [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother into a panic and while she does cause quite a bit of damage to him, it doesn't kill or seriously cripple him.
* AxCrazy: He's batshit crazy with a hard-on for the idea of driving Vivienne to commit mindless violence, and [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648508725162803200/ the author]] comments he has a "murder boner".
* BewareMyStingerTail: His patchwork body has a thagomizer-like tail.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: He re-forms a broken bone in his arm into a retractable spike-claw.
* BreathWeapon: He retains his Gravity Beam in his current state.
* DaylightHorror: Briefly. He makes his DynamicEntry during the day, and unlike when the Many's Skullcrawler-made {{Mind Hive}}s attacked, there's no prominent storm accompanying him in the sky.
* DynamicEntry: He pulls one on an unprepared Monster X in Chapter 15.
* EvilCounterpart: He's one to San (see his folder).
* EvilIsBigger: His patchwork body is apparently larger than Monster X's second form.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: San considers Ghidorah's utilization of the Many to be a new debasement, and [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother's patchwork body is shown to be gruesomely devoid of Ghidorah's BeautyIsBad.
* EyeScream: Vivienne and San slash one of his eyes in self-defense.
* ForTheEvulz: It's pretty clear he's not just doing what Ichi/Eldest Brother wants and is enjoying torturing Monster X immensely for his own sadism in Chapter 16.
* HateSink: He arguably supercedes Jonah and Guard B-04 in this department within a short time in Chapter 16, when he brutalizes and tortures Monster X with utter viciousness the likes of which could match even Ichi/Eldest Brother's, and he [[spoiler:attempts to kill San in front of Vivienne (and almost succeeds)]].
* IgnoredEpiphany: {{Downplayed}}. He seems to briefly pause and recall Ghidorah's tragic early beginnings when Vivienne says the right word with the right context, but he promptly brushes it off.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Vivienne knows something is wrong when Ni/Elder Brother halts his usual ferocious behaviour to gently trace her features with a claw and draw her blood.
* PervertedSniffing: He does this to Monster X, using his tongue to smell.
* PowerGlows: He does this as part of an intimidation display in Chapter 16.
* PowerIncontinence: {{Averted}}. According to [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/650664898911764480/ the author]], he and the rest of the Many can wilfully turn their tissue’s infectiousness off at will if they so desire it.
* QuizzicalTilt: He responds this way when Vivienne says a particular word that reminds him of before Ghidorah's SlowlySlippingIntoEvil.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He participates in the one Ichi/Eldest Brother and San-2/Youngest Brother give San (see San's folder).
* {{Sadist}}: Although Ni/Elder Brother is usually more interested in straight-up killing than in making his prey die in pain; in Chapter 16, [=MaNi=] demonstrates that Ni can be ''just'' as creative and vicious as Ichi/Eldest Brother if not even '''worse''' when he really takes an interest in torturing Vivienne.
* SlasherSmile: He gives Vivienne a couple terrifyingly perverse ones.
* SmugSnake: He seems to be in denial that both his brothers no longer consider him one of Ghidorah's heads after he's detached, and now he's just as much a shed skin to them as San is.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: The "without a crush" part is ''horrifically'' ZigZagged by him. The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648508725162803200/ confirmed]] [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother has a "murder boner" but not an actual boner for the idea of successfully driving Vivienne to Ghidorah-like psychosis, and he seems ''really'' enthusiastic to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil when psychologically torturing Monster X to that end.
* TheStarscream: {{Downplayed}}, but Vivienne observes that he'd rather abandon Ghidorah's side and have her all to himself to torture instead of having to share her now that he has an independent body.
* StupidEvil: San-2/Youngest Brother observes that him being too careless when brutalizing Monster X nearly killed Vivienne in a way that Ghidorah might've been unable to revive her from, which would've ruined [=MaNi's=] long-term desires for her as much as Ghidorah's.
* UnwittingPawn: {{Implied}}. He remains loyal to Ghidorah and insists he is still part of the Dragon; but his former brothers are just waiting for another Ni to regrow on their body, and make it clear they no longer consider the Ni/Elder Brother who's detached from them their brother.
* VillainousIncest: He's ''more than happy'' to thoroughly torment and traumatize Vivienne in a manner humans consider sexual in order to drive her to psychotic rage, despite considering Monster X both a [[BrotherSisterIncest sibling]] and an [[ParentalIncest offspring]].
* VillainTakesAnInterest: Before separating from Ghidorah, he particularly reacted this way to Vivienne's UnstoppableRage in Chapter 13, whereas up until then he'd had the least interest in her of the three heads, as described by [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/640180207918235648/ Word of God]].

* MeaningfulName: It was named Monster X in reference to Ghidorah's Monster Zero designation, due to the two-headed Titan's resemblance. [[spoiler:Its ProtagonistTitle name in Chapter 10 is based on the [[UsefulNotes/{{Gnosticism}} Gnostic figure]]]].

* SplitPersonalityMerge: [[spoiler:PlayedWith. After their final {{Metamorphosis}}, Viv and San now have a single brain seating both their minds, they now speak in unison (although either voice can become more or less prominent dependoing on the stimuli), and they refer to themselves as a singular being, although either half of Monster X's brain can have different mental reactions to the same stimuli]].

* {{Kaiju}}: Monster X is officially classified as a Titan. In their first form, they're roughly the size of a Skullcrawler, and after their second transformation, they're almost the same size that Kong was in ''[[Film/KongSkullIsland Skull Island]]'', as [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/620940544685834240 this official artwork by the author demonstrates]].

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: A two-headed hybrid Titan (human and Ghidorah) with leathery skin and bony protrusions, created by San transforming and essentially merging with Vivienne. They have no wings and are mainly quadrupedal like eastern dragons. San and Vivi have Ghidorah's bio-electricity, but their specific powers differ somewhat and they generate orange-tinted lightning. They’re also essentially the "offspring" of a SatanicArchetype DraconicAbomination, but they're highly benevolent and highly fierce.

* ReluctantPsycho: Viv and San's part-Ghidorah biology influences their capacity for psychotic brutality when one or both of them is sufficiently enraged or panicked, but it fortunately only takes over their actions if they're pushed too far -- [[hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/653745095218266112 according to the author]], in Viv and San's case it's like an aftertaste of what Ghidorah experiences. More than this, Viv and San have issues dealing with Vivienne's untreated PTSD and both are saddened by it.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A Titan resembling a giant ape who's fierce yet seems to have a stronger emotional connection to humans because they're primates, is protective of the female protagonist in an almost paternal manner, personally hates a reptilian BigBad (due to [[spoiler:them killing his family in the past no less]]), and was able to stubbornly reject Ghidorah's alpha call during the Mass Awakening. Sound like anyone? The author even suggests [[hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656635359659180032 here]] that the Thunderers and ''Titanus Kong'' probably have a history with each-other.

A two-headed, half-human and half-Ghidorah "chimera" Titan, created by Ghidorah's severed head regenerating and transforming Vivienne Graham's body inside itself and transferring the head's (San's) own consciousness to her body's new second brain. It possesses bio-electrical abilities which differ somewhat from Ghidorah's, and is (so far) incapable of flight.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Monster X is [[spoiler:experiencing face-to-face torment from Ghidorah]] and thus re-encountering the supposedly-dead hydra, San gives it an epic one in retort to the one he's received; in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/16/ Chapter 16]]:
--->"''AND WHAT ABOUT YOU?! [[AlternateSelf YOU]] '''[[AlternateSelf ARE]]''' [[AlternateSelf ME]]! CHANGING [Vivienne] WAS MY TASK! BUT I CHOSE TO STAY WITH HER! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE TORMENT BEGAN?! WHERE WERE '''YOU''' TO TEACH HER CONTROL?! YOU WERE PLAYING AT [[spoiler:BEING MAKERS]]!''"

* ReluctantPsycho: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/645147573238333440/ According to the author]], Ghidorah was once this in the beginning. [[spoiler:Ghidorah's three brains had a single command forcibly hardwired into them through indicated alien brain surgery, which consciously and unconsciously tormented the three heads ceaselessly and drove them to try again and again without success to make the ceaseless phrase stop by sating it. The author suggests the command probably faded to something like tinnitus after eons]], but by then, Ghidorah's SlowlySlippingIntoEvil had come full circle. What was the phrase?

* RuleOfThree: [[spoiler:Ghidorah itself]] lampshades this trope in Chapter 16, noting Ghidorah has three heads and the number three is considered sacred among humans.

* StalkerWithoutACrush: It psychically haunted Vivienne for years when she was monitoring Outpost 32. [[spoiler:Ichi/Eldest Brother, Ni/Elder Brother and San's EvilDoppelganger are stalking Vivienne and San even more viciously after Monster X's creation]]. As described under the Spoiler Character folder, [[spoiler:this trope is nightmarishly ZigZagged by [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother]].

* VillainousAromanticAsexual: {{Implied}}. Ghidorah obviously has no interest in emotional romantic bonds, and the closest it comes to an interest in sexual relations are it [[spoiler:developing a lust to see Vivienne's capacity for violence like Ghidorah's own, and it getting the idea based on humans' absorbed knowledge to forcibly make Vivienne a monster BabyFactory]].

* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:It's reliant on its own surviving DNA traces to regenerate FromASingleCell after it was previously obliterated, and until it can fully regenerate, it's reliant on the Many to act physically]].

* TheDreaded: Vivienne completely feared Ghidorah when it was still frozen, humans who encountered Ghidorah during the Mass Awakening tend to be left with some psychological trauma to varying degrees, and both humans and Titans alike take the idea of Ghidorah one day returning FromASingleCell very gravely.

* InSeriesNickname: In {{canon}}, Ghidorah's heads were only named Ichi, Ni and San as a ProductionNickname and were never called this InUniverse. In this fic, it's revealed in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/2 Chapter 2]] that Vivienne gave the heads their names while she was monitoring Outpost 32. Ichi and Ni seemingly don't answer to these names, and are referred to by San as Eldest Brother and Elder Brother respectively.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:All three of its minds deride Jonah as nothing more than a tool who served his purpose]]. {{Downplayed}} by Ichi/Eldest Brother when [[spoiler:in Chapter 16, he lets San-2/Youngest Brother pick a fight with Ni/Elder Brother's Many avatar for Ichi's own amusement]].

* MassHypnosis: The severed head's psychic influence affects a number of Jonah's paramilitary, inducing {{Sanity Slippage}}s and causing those who aren't driven to suicide including the Basement Club to [[spoiler:aid Ghidorah's resurrection]].

* TheNightThatNeverEnds: It inflicts a PerpetualStorm on every world that it conquers (see PlanetDestroyer).

* PlanetDestroyer: Slightly {{downplayed}} in that Ghidorah doesn't destroy the planets in an EarthShatteringKaboom so much as turn them into inhospitable wastelands. Ghidorah blankets the skies of every world it conquers in perpetual destructive tempests, then it moves on to do the same elsewhere.
* PosthumousCharacter: It's dead following the battle in Boston before the fic's main time frame [[spoiler:(at first)]], but its actions have caused San and Vivienne's transformation into Monster X, and it's hinted the severed head still has some of Ghidorah's minds in it. [[spoiler:Then Ichi, Ni and San-2 start regenerating FromASingleCell]].

* BerserkButton: Ichi/Eldest Brother specifically was ticked off by humans (namely Vivienne) building a "cage" around Ghidorah while it was frozen. [[spoiler:It's implied he despises any reminder of the alien civilization who created Ghidorah]], which might also explain why Ghidorah put emphasis on killing humans in particular during its rampage.

* PoorlyLitPareidolia: In Chapter 16, she briefly hallucinates stalagmites and stalactites as SharpTeeth and gore. {{Justified}} by [[spoiler:Ghidorah]] telepathically messing with her head.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A Titan resembling a giant ape who's fierce yet seems to have a stronger emotional connection to humans because they're primates, is protective of the female protagonist in an almost paternal manner, personally hates a reptilian BigBad (due to [[spoiler:them killing his family in the past no less]]), and was able to stubbornly reject Ghidorah's alpha call during the Mass Awakening. Sound like anyone?

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Vivienne at one point thinks Rodan's temper and his tendency to be unmoving when convinced he's right and someone else is wrong makes him not so different from Mark Russell.

[[folder: Ghidorah]]
!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus Ghidorah''
A malevolent extraterrestrial Titan which was responsible for instigating the Titan Mass Awakening before being defeated by Godzilla. It consists of three draconic brothers with a single body, who each have control of one of the three heads: San (later San's AlternateSelf, San-2) who is known to the other heads as "Youngest Brother" or "the Third"; and the "Eldest Brother" (the central head, Ichi, "the First") and "Eld'''er''' Brother/Young'''er''' Brother" (the right head, Ni, "the Second").

* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:Its ultimate plan for Vivienne -- it intends to turn her into its fourth head (Shi)]].

* BackFromTheDead / FromASingleCell: San states that Ghidorah can regenerate and return from death this way via its HealingFactor so long as any trace of its DNA remains -- apparently, San and his brothers have died and resurrected this way before -- and thus Ghidorah will one day return via the decapitated head or its DNA. [[spoiler:It eventually comes true.]]

* FriendToAllChildren: Besides her relationship with Madison, she used to babysit Ilene's twin daughters, who regard her fondly.

* HowlOfSorrow: Gives a particularly horrific one after learning of Serizawa’s death. It was literally heard by the bioacoustics-oriented Titans across a considerable distance…

* MamaBear: Her blood boils at the thought that Ghidorah hunted Madison from sport in Boston, and a deleted scene showed her making a mercenary who was stalking two DisposableVagrant children back off with a DeathGlare.

* SlasherSmile: She gives [[spoiler:the Many avatar of Ni/Elder Brother a dangerous one]] during her HeroicResolve in Chapter 16. See the General folder for another example.

* CannotTellALie: It turns out that he literally lack a concept of lying. [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/637226140951625728/ According to the author]], San regards the act of withholding information as a waste of thought.

* DesperatelyCravesAffection: He never got approval and affection from his brothers, and so he seeks these things from his new sister who he recognizes is nothing like them.

* IAmNotAGun: Ghidorah’s {{backstory}} essentially makes San this following his HeelFaceTurn.

* BadassBoast: Its [[spoiler:two partly-merged minds]] have this to say to [[spoiler:Ichi/Eldest Brother]] in Chapter 17:

* BadassBoast: She has this for Jonah when she and San are about to escape containment in Chapter 6:

* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: Averted in regards to San's AlternateSelf who Ghidorah regenerated:
--->''What a bizarre concept; two separate San's, but while one was decapitated and changing her to be more like him, the other was wreaking havoc on the world and ''her'' San has no memory of it. [...] The idea of Ghidorah -- that nightmare dragon that's haunted her dreams -- targeting Madison for sport makes her blood boil and plasma flare. She stops, tries to settle her nerves. Focus. That wasn't her San.''

* ReluctantPsycho: Viv and San's part-Ghidorah biology influences their capacity for psychotic brutality when one or both of them is sufficiently enraged or panicked, but it fortunately only takes over their actions if they're pushed too far. More than that, Viv and San have issues dealing with Vivienne's untreated PTSD and both are saddened by it.
* RemovedAchillesHeel: Unlike Ghidorah who was ill-built for moving in waters, Monster X fares somewhat better due to Vivienne being able to swim with their body structure.
* RoarBeforeBeating: They attempt pulling this during a training scuffle with Godzilla based on wolverines' fighting style in Chapter 9. See Vivienne's folder for another example.

* ShutUpHannibal: Both San and Vivienne repeatedly tell [[spoiler:Ghidorah’s voices]] to shut up. [[spoiler:The voices]] either keep pestering them or will come back for more later.

* CessationOfExistence: It's revealed [[spoiler:in Chapter 5]] that she apparently experienced this temporarily when she was OnlyMostlyDead. It's [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/637986068089716737/ implied by the author]] and Godzilla in Chapter 9 that not all beings InUniverse experience this upon permanent death, as {{Reincarnation}} is possible.

* RoarBeforeBeating: Besides her and San's shared example above; she unleashes her own one when she starts retaliating against [[spoiler:[=MaNi=]/Elder Brother for ripping San's head from her and moves to rescue San]], in Chapter 16.

* SlasherSmile: She gives [[spoiler:the Many avatar of Ni/Elder Brother a dangerous one]] during her HeroicResolve in Chapter 16.

* VampiricDraining: He briefly performs this against the Many construct hosting [[spoiler:[=MaNi=]/Elder Brother]] in Chapter 16.

! Monster X / [[spoiler:Abraxas]]

!!!'''Scientific name:''' ''Titanus [[spoiler:Abraxas]]''

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: They so far seem to lack the original incarnation's Destroyed Thunder, Antigravity Beams and telekinesis, instead displaying a fresh alternative set of powers with a similarly electrical nature.

---> '''Tejada''': "[…] ''for god’s sake, ''do not make her angry''. ''Do not fucking piss her off''. Understand? We made her a demon.''"

* NotSoDifferent: Vivienne at one point thinks Rodan's temper and his tendency to be unmoving when convinced he's right and someone else is wrong makes him not so different from Mark Russell.

* PowerTrio: [[spoiler:Ghidorah itself]] lampshades this trope in Chapter 16, noting Ghidorah has three heads and the number three is considered sacred among humans.

* EmergencyTransformation: [[spoiler:Ghidorah]] inflicts a third and final {{Metamorphosis}} on San and Vivienne in Chapter 16]], in order to keep Vivienne alive and her mind intact after a HeroicRROD [[spoiler:tears Monster X apart]].

* MeaningfulName: Yong's name, meaning "eternal"/"perpetual" as [[hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648764829724819456/ noted by the author]], is rather fitting because of Mothra's immortality and the Chens' preternatural HereditaryTwinhood.

* DeathByAdaptation: His death is introduced in ''Abraxas'' before ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' and its novelization came out. The ''[=GvK=]'' novel indicates Jonah is still at large at least three years after the events of ''King of the Monsters'' in [=MonsterVerse=] canon, whereas in [=AbraxasVerse=] he's killed for good just a year afterwards.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They have yellowish-gold, mutated skin similar to Monster X's first form. They start of as {{Monstrous Humanoid}}s due to their origin, and in this form they prove to be eerily adept at stealth and surprisingly fast, immune to bullets, and inadverse to tearing apart and devouring prey; though they prefer to drag victims off to be assimilated into the Many. And ItCanThink.

* InTheBlood: Her Bone Singer potential is apparently hereditary.

* LosingYourHead: His original head severed from Ghidorah retains his mind and some degree of consciousness. {{Downplayed}} in that while San's mind is aware inside the head, on the outside the head remains (''seemingly/mostly'') immobile. [[spoiler:Then in Chapter 16, this trope gets played straight when San's head is ripped off of Vivienne by Ni/Elder Brother's Many-avatar]].

* PragmaticVillainy: If you've read what it plans to do to Vivienne, then you'll know that it [[spoiler:saving Monster X and repairing them]] is ''not'' gonna be a good thing if Ghidorah gets its way with them immediately afterwards.

[[folder: Steve Martin]]
A photo-journalist who's among the {{Paparazzi}} drawn by the new topic of Monster X.

* GoingForTheBigScoop: An ethical example, but he's quite happy to be legally filming Monster X up close in Chapter 11.
* IntrepidReporter: He's among the {{Paparazzi}} who give Monarch a spot of security bother, but is concerned about reporting to people while encouraging them to act reasonably about the information.

[[folder: Susan Graham]]
The widowed mother of Vivienne.

* SanitySlippage: Due to the severed Ghidorah-head's borderline-MindRape psychic influence. First he has an AxCrazy episode, then he becomes more unkempt and acts eerily like he's been spending too much time around [[MassEffect/MassEffectRaceTropes Reaper tech]]. [[spoiler:Finally, he becomes an insane, fanatical part of the Many]].

** It's formed inside San's decapitated head by him reviving, regenerating and transforming Vivienne's body via feeding his own enzymes into her system, before eventually being (re)born from the head, and it's not all that dissimilar to a real-life metamorphosis.

* {{Sadist}}: The film already makes it clear that Ghidorah is a sadistic OmnicidalManiac with ForTheEvulz and ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill tendencies, but this story goes more into showing how depraved Ghidorah (particularly Ichi/Eldest Brother) is capable of being when it wants to torment an individual without killing them, and also how [[spoiler:Ghidorah became that way]].

* TragicVillain: Ghidorah's backstory very much makes it this; but both [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/640060179124305920/ the author]] and a reviewer have also noted that it's actually quite tragic that San-2 has the same potential for a HeelFaceTurn as Vivienne's San does, but remaining attached to Ichi and Ni prevents that from happening. Think Nebula in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''...

* VillainousAromanticAsexual: {{Implied}}. Ghidorah obviously has no interest in emotional romantic bonds, and the closest it comes to an interest in sexual relations are it [[spoiler:developing a lust to see Vivienne's capacity for violence like Ghidorah's own, and it getting the idea based on humans' absorbed knowledge to forcibly make Vivienne a monster BabyFactory]].
* VillainousIncest: It's revealed in Chapter 16 that [[spoiler:Ghidorah intends to make Monster X a BabyFactory, despite its heads admitting that they consider Vivienne their [[BrotherSisterIncest sister]] ''and'' their [[ParentalIncest daughter]]]].

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a mellow enough person and can even be somewhat nervous, but he's no pushover.

* OverprotectiveDad: Initially, his first impulse is to shield Madison from further trauma physical or psychological, despite her having already proved her metal in Boston.

* RoarBeforeBeating: They attempt pulling this during a training scuffle with Godzilla based on wolverines' fighting style in Chapter 9, and again when she starts retaliating against [[spoiler:[=MaNi=]/Elder Brother]] in Chapter 16.

* VampiricDraining: He briefly performs this against the Many construct hosting [[spoiler:Ni/Elder Brother]] in Chapter 16.

* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: He's developed an appreciation for the world's beauty and wonders.

* CainAndAbel: Ichi/Eldest Brother and Ni/Elder Brother are the Cain to San's Abel.

* HateSink: It's responsible for [[spoiler:relentlessly and viciously trying to get under Viv and San's skin via the PsychicLink, and the heads all to varying degrees take glee in physically or psychologically hurting something. Ghidorah's EvilPlan to undo all of Vivienne's work towards mental recovery and reduce her to an irrevocably AxCrazy monster, its willingness to forcibly use her as a monster BabyFactory if it'll make her scream to that end, and its wish to physically separate her from San (with no small amount of needless cruelty) and turn her into Ichi, Ni and San-2's fourth head]]; all of these go quite a way to purge any Rooting for the Empire feelings that even a sadistic reader might otherwise have, and they make the reader very much root against Ghidorah and want it to ''fail'' in its Evil Plan as well as making Ghidorah quite loathsome.

* MasterOfYourDomain: After the middle head ate Vivienne alive, her body was willfully regurgitated into the left head's (San's) neck to keep her intact so she could be revived and biologically reshaped to Ghidorah's desires, though not before she'd been partly digested by Ghidorah's stomach acids. [[spoiler:Whatever state the partly-regenerated Ghidorah is in, it's able to wilfully open its chest ''Film/TheThing''-style to alter Monster X again.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Ichi/Eldest Brother attempted to grant Vivienne a FateWorseThanDeath purely because she unwittingly hit his BerserkButton by leading humans in building a "cage" around the glacier it was frozen inside. And then there's what [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/636684009279291392/ the author said]] about what Ichi/Eldest Brother or Ni/Elder Brother would've done to her if it had been either of them instead of San who'd had their way with her.
* TheDogBitesBack: {{Downplayed}}. [[spoiler:San-2/Youngest Brother doesn't hesitate to snap at, bite and threaten to kill Ni/Elder Brother's autonomous form without consequences, since said version of Ni is no longer considered part of Ghidorah]].

* PetTheDog: San-2/Youngest Brother [[spoiler:at one point fleetingly attempts to {{exploit}} this trope when telepathically contacting Vivienne; but like the real San before the latter's CharacterDevelopment, he regards Vivienne more as a beloved toy to be cared for, and he ferociously intervenes when Ni/Elder Brother's Many-avatar causes too much damage to Monster X]].

* TokenGoodTeammate: San-2/Youngest Brother, exactly the same as San before the latter fused with Vivienne, is the least sadistic of the three (though still not devoid of malice) and hates it when Ichi/Eldest Brother and Ni/Elder Brother damage their "toy" too much.

* OCStandIn: The author confirmed [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/628652716177096704/ here]] that she’s the shave-headed female {{Mook}} who is visible in the film in Antarctica.

* EldritchAbomination: It's regarded as such InUniverse by the Titans due to its ability to reanimate the dead.

* AttackTheMouth: Ultimately {{downplayed}} when Vivienne violently attacks his mouth and his gullet. While it does send Ni/Elder Brother into a panic and while she does cause quite a bit of damage to him, it doesn't kill or seriously cripple him.

* EvilMakesYouUgly: San considers Ghidorah's utilization of the Many to be a new debasement, and Ni/Elder Brother's patchwork body is shown to be gruesomely devoid of Ghidorah's BeautyIsBad.

* {{Sadist}}: Although Ni/Elder Brother is usually more interested in straight-up killing than in making his prey die in pain; in Chapter 16, he demonstrates that he can be ''just'' as creative and vicious as Ichi/Eldest Brother if not even '''worse''' when he really takes an interest in torturing Vivienne.

* SmugSnake: He doesn't seem to wholly realize that both his brothers no longer consider him one of Ghidorah's heads after he's detached, and now he's just as much a shed skin to them as San is.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: The "without a crush" part is ''horrifically'' ZigZagged by him. The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648508725162803200/ confirmed]] Ni has a "murder boner" but not an actual boner for the idea of successfully driving Vivienne to Ghidorah-like psychosis, and he seems ''really'' enthusiastic to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil when psychologically torturing Monster X to that end.

* FakingTheDead: She was presumed dead after Behemoth's escape and went off the grid.

!! Ni/Elder Brother

The result of Ghidorah's right head creating an autonomous "patchwork body" for itself separate of Ghidorah, using the Many.

* IncestIsRelative: He's ''more than happy'' to thoroughly torment and traumatize Vivienne in a manner humans consider sexual in order to drive her to psychotic rage, despite considering Monster X both a [[BrotherSisterIncest sibling]] and an [[ParentalIncest offspring]].

* FailureToSaveMurder: A non-fatal variation. In Chapter 16, Mark is quick to lay into him after [[spoiler:Monster X is abducted by the Many]], just because Ren happened to be there even though as Ren points out there was literally nothing he could've done.

* TragicVillain: Like in canon's [[AllThereInTheManual Manual]], his turn to villainy was triggered by the murder of his daughter years ago. [[spoiler:And he was meddling with Ghidorah's DNA and Monster X because he believed he could resurrect a lost loved one, implied to be his daughter]].

* FakingTheDead: She faked her death during Behemoth’s escape and went off the grid.

* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:Alongside Ni and Ichi, Ghidorah has regenerated another version of San who has the same pre-BrainUploading memories and is still evil. Vivienne is able to tell the two San's apart when the evil one speaks to her in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/11 Chapter 11]], as San-2's voice sounds the same as when San first fused to her. San-2 scorns the San who's fused to Vivienne as being nothing more than a "shadow" or "shed skin"]].

* BerserkButton: Ichi/Eldest Brother specifically was ticked off by humans (namely Vivienne) building a "cage" around Ghidorah while it was frozen. [[spoiler:It's implied he despises any reminder of the alien civilization who created Ghidorah]], which might also explain why Ghidorah put emphasis on killing humans in particular during its rampage.

* BigBrotherBully: Ichi and Ni towards San. They didn't show him a shred of affection nor allow him to indulge in anything that didn't involve eating and killing; roaring in his ears and biting at his horns when they disapproved of his curious tendencies.

* CardCarryingVillain: Ichi/Eldest Brother and Ni/Elder Brother are proud of their omnicidal history, as the BadassBoast demonstrates.

* DesperatelyCravesAffection: San-2 has the same unfulfilled craving for this as San did, being a clone of the latter San as his personality was before his CharacterDevelopment.

* DisproportionateRetribution: It attempted to grant Vivienne a FateWorseThanDeath, purely because she unwittingly hit Ichi/Eldest Brother's BerserkButton by leading humans in building a "cage" around the glacier it was frozen inside. And then there's what [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/636684009279291392/ the author said]] about what Ichi/Eldest Brother or Ni/Elder Brother would've done to her if they'd had their way with her.
* TheDogBitesBack: {{Downplayed}}. [[spoiler:San-2/Youngest Brother doesn't hesitate to snap at, bite and threaten to kill Ni/Elder Brother's autonomous form without consequences, since said version of Ni is no longer considered part of Ghidorah]].

* EvilDoppelganger: The version of San who replaces the San that fused with Vivienne. [[spoiler:San-2 has no apparent compunctions against using BreakThemByTalking and MindRape on San and Vivienne]].

* EvilSoundsDeep: Ichi/Eldest Brother's mental voice in particular (see ComicBookFantasyCasting). This also applies to San's AlternateSelf due to San's Comic-Book Fantasy Casting (see his folder).
* EvilSoundsRaspy / GutturalGrowler: The voice of Ni/Elder Brother (see ComicBookFantasyCasting).
* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:Ichi/Eldest Brother has started displaying this kind of attitude in Chapter 14. According to [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/639403196006203392/ the author]], he's mainly using it as a psychological warfare tactic against Vivienne]].

* HateSink: Although Ghidorah is mostly a case of Love to Hate and Evil is Cool for the story, it (particularly Ichi/Eldest Brother) also crosses into this territory with [[spoiler:its relentless psychological torture of Viv and San]].

* IncestIsRelative: It's revealed in Chapter 16 that [[spoiler:Ghidorah intends to make Monster X a BabyFactory, despite its heads admitting that they consider Vivienne their [[BrotherSisterIncest sister]] ''and'' their [[ParentalIncest daughter]]]].

* ItsPersonal: Ichi/Eldest Brother eating Vivienne alive and wanting San to grant her a FateWorseThanDeath was done because she hit his BerserkButton.

* MasterOfYourDomain: After the middle head ate Vivienne alive, her body was willfully regurgitated into the left head's (San's) neck to keep her intact so she could be revived and biologically reshaped to Ghidorah's desires, though not before she'd been partly digested by Ghidorah's stomach acids.

* PetTheDog: San-2/Youngest Brother [[spoiler:at one point fleetingly attempts to {{exploit}} this trope when telepathically contacting Vivienne; but like the real San before the latter's CharacterDevelopment, he regards Vivienne more as a beloved toy to be cared for, and he ferociously intervenes when Ni/Elder Brother's Many-avatar causes too much damage to Monster X]].

* TheSociopath: Ichi/Eldest Brother and Ni/Elder Brother. LackOfEmpathy and Devoid of Conscience? ''Oh, definitely yes''. They're not {{Consummate Liar}}s solely because they CannotTellALie (see VillainsNeverLie), but they're quite knowledgeable on exploiting what psychologically makes their victims tick when they need to. They have a Pathological Need for Stimulation specifically in the form of sadistically killing everything and anything they can. They have a Shallow Effect in how they have no emotional attachment towards each-other, their Youngest Brother nor anything else. And they definitely have a Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance as the BadassBoast, combined with the fact they consider themselves the only true god compared to Earth's Titans, demonstrate.

* StalkerWithoutACrush: It psychically haunted Vivienne for years when she was monitoring Outpost 32. [[spoiler:Ichi/Eldest Brother, Ni/Elder Brother and San's EvilDoppelganger are stalking Vivienne and San even more viciously after Monster X's creation. As described under the Many-using Ni's character bar, this trope is nightmarishly ZigZagged by him]].

* TermsOfEndangerment: Ichi/Eldest Brother and Ni/Elder Brother calling Vivienne "Bone Singer" is somewhat this, [[https://archiveofourown.org/comments/246407908 according to the author]].

* TokenGoodTeammate: San-2/Youngest Brother, exactly the same as San before the latter fused with Vivienne, is the least sadistic of the three (though still not devoid of malice) and hates it when Ichi/Eldest Brother and Ni/Elder Brother damage their “toy” too much.
