History Characters / GodzillaScrappedKaiju

One of the original planned monsters for the final movie in the Heisei series. The vengeful spirit of the first Godzilla would have possessed either Godzilla Jr., Anguirus or a new monster called Baragiurus, to battle his successor, and then in a later treatment he would have been the center of a battle between Godzilla and Godzilla Jr. against a new enemy called Chaos over Ghost Godzilla's bio energy, but after two movies in a row with a Godzilla clone as the antagonist Toho decided go in a different direction and created Destoroyah. This wasn't the end of the Ghost Godzilla concept however, it endured into the millennium era, where the spirit of the concept would be realized in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack and the Kiryu Saga.

Another abandoned Godzilla clone for the Heisei finale. This one would have been another Godzillasaurus that was exposed to more radiation than any of the others and would have served as the antagonist of Godzilla vs. Super Nuked Godzilla. The concept likely became the basis for Burning Godzilla

The offspring of Zilla Jr., created for the [[Script/Godzilla2 unmade sequel]] to Film/Godzilla1998. Zilla Jr. would have laid them in the Australian outback only to be wiped out by the US military.

A corrupted divine moth and EvilTwin of Mothra. Mutated by radiation, after fleeing the island it was born on, the radiation it emitted attracts Godzilla bringing the two into conflict. After a woman named Mana discovers a way to merge with and control the divine moth attempts to use it to defeat Godzilla. Gigamoth likely formed the basis for Battra.

* EvilTwin: To Mothra.
* HijackingCthulhu: Winds up on the receiving end of this multiple times throughout the story.

Originally, Godzilla vs Mothra was going to end with Mothra's death rather than Battra's, and in the same vein as Mecha-King Ghidorah she would have been revived as [=MechaMothra=] in the sequel.

The first concept for the Heisei Mechagodzilla. Berserk was a cybernetic alien that arrived on Earth and began assimilating metal and machinery into itself before turning itself into a robotic version of Godzilla in order to emulate what it viewed as the planet's dominant species. It was scrapped in favor of a man made Mechagodzilla created to defend mankind from Godzilla.

* MechanicalAbomination: It initially looks like a mass of half melted machinery with the top sculpted into a vaguely Godzilla shaped head.

Back when Film/{{Rodan}} was still ''The Bride of Godzilla'', the plan was to up the ante by introducing an ecosystem of new monsters hidden beneath the Earth's surface. One such monster was a giant archaeopteryx, which after they decided rewrite the script to focus on a new monster became Rodan before eventually being changed from an archaeopteryx monster to the pterosaur monster we all know and love.

In the early script for Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzillaII, there were going to be two Rodans much like ''Film/{{Rodan}}'', a mated pair, who would have guarded Godzilla Jr.'s egg. After a fight with Mechagodzilla, the male Rodan would have died and the female Rodan would be exposed to radiation transforming her into White Rodan.

The first version of Bagan, created for what would become Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla. Here called Ba'''k'''an, the monster would have fought Godzilla in three different forms: the Sacred Monkey Beast, the Sacred Dragon Beast and the Sacred Water Beast, before being defeated by Godzilla. Later drafts of the script made it so that Bakan would be healed of any injuries when he transitioned between forms and added a fourth form: the totemic Demon Beast. While the Demon Beast would be strong enough to initially beat Godzilla, Bakan would soon find himself trapped in this form and unable to heal from his injuries allowing Godzilla to easily defeat Bakan in round 2.

* ClippedWingAngel: The second treatment of Resurrection of Godzilla would have had him shapeshift into a fourth form that would have combined the Sacred Monkey Beast, Sacred Water Beast and Sacred Dragon Beast forms into the totem like Demon Beast. While this form was strong enough to knock Godzilla down, it also suffered ShapeshifterModeLock and could no longer heal any damage by shape shifting, so when Godzilla [[HeroicSecondWind gets back up]] Bakan quickly loses the advantage.

* VoluntaryShapeshifter: The scrapped version from ''The Return of Godzilla'' could change between three forms - the land-based Sacred Monkey Beast, the sea-based Sacred Water Beast, and the flying Sacred Dragon Beast. In the final battle, Bagan assumed a final form, combining traits of all three, but this left it unable to change again.

** Averted in the intended Film/GodzillaVsBiollante sequel where he would have been revealed to have come from space.

After the idea of a Heisei remake of King Kong vs Godzilla fell through, Toho decided to bring back a similar monster from closer to home. A giant, robotic gorilla created by the US Government to battle Godzilla, during the battle Mechani-Kong would inject a team into Godzilla's body in an attempt to shutdown his internal reactor. The plans for this movie fell through after concerns arose about Mechani-Kong being too similar to King Kong to use.

A more nimble breed of Anguirus with a split carapace. It would have appeared in Godzilla vs. Barubaroi where it would have fought against the shapeshifting monster who would then assume its form after defeating it.

* CanonImmigrant: While the more nimble design went unused the spiked club on his tail was added to the regular Anguirus if Final Wars.
* MythologyGag: the split carapace calls back to the design of the original Anguirus in Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain

Two Guardian Monsters alongside Baragon that would have fought and died against the resurrected Godzilla leaving the Gotengo to finish him off in the original script for Giant Monsters All Out Attack. Varan and Anguirus were replaced with the more popular Mothra and King Ghidorah in the finished product.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: Rather than their Traditional earth tone colors, Varan, Anguirus and Baragon would have been colored White Gold and Red.

A giant Chameleon from the hollow Earth who would have appeared to attack Japan in the Bride of Godzilla. It would have been killed by the JSDF before the Robot fought the other three monsters.

ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, a giant starfish created either by pollution or radiation from a fallen meteorite. Created for a sequel to Film/GodzillaVsHedorah, Banno eventually decided to instead use a second Hedorah before the project was cancelled all together.

* NoNameGiven: Though fans have given it the unofficial name Hitodah, a play on the Japanese word for starfish "hitode"

[[folder:Red Moon and Erabus]]
Two kaiju created for a collaboration with Creator/TsuburayaProductions to celebrate the latter's 10 year anniversary. When Red Moon came from the moon and Erabus emerged from Habu Island, the JSDF tried to lure them towards each other in the hopes that they would fight to the death and they could pick off the winner, unfortunately it turned out that the two creatures were in fact the same species. They mated and produced a son called Halfun. After Halfun died in the captivity of an unscrupulous businessman who wanted to exploit the creatures' medicinal blood, the parents go on a rampage through Okinawa before Godzilla intervenes; driving Erabus into the sea and banishing Red Moon back to the moon.

* {{Cyclops}}: The original script describes Red Moon as having only one eye, although an illustration done decades later depicts it as having a more normal dragon-like face.
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Redmoon and Halfun (Male) are red skinned, dragon like creatures, Red Moon is also described as being cycloptic, but Halfun was drawn in an artist rendering with two eyes and Redmoon wasn't shown from a head on angle. Erabus (female) is an equine creature with multiple tails and fin-like spines along her back.

An oddly named dinosaur like bird kaiju that would have been created from radiation leaked from the Heisei Mechani-Kong during its battle with Godzilla and joined the fray.

* NonIndicativeName: It's a bird not a moth

An extra dimensional Kaiju after Ghost Godzilla's bio energy. It would have fought Godzilla and Godzilla Jr. in the last movie of the Heisei era.

A lava kaiju created for an intended American sequel to Film/Godzilla2000. A bat like monster made out of molten lava. After Godzilla is subdued while rampaging through Hawaii, the military discover that it was chasing after Miba who soon emerges from Mauna Loa, forcing them to revive Godzilla so that he can fight it.

Takegami, an astronaut mutated after a strange accident on a space shuttle in orbit. Fleeing into the forest, where the mutation eventually makes him grow into a giant monster. After Godzilla returns to attack Japan, the monster "M" challenges the King of the Monsters to battle, only to be defeated and retreat into the woods again. Returning for round two Godzilla slays M, but Takegami's daughter, Yumi, gives M her life force to revive him and grant him enough strength to defeat Godzilla. Afterwards M drags Godzilla back into the sea, never to be seen again. M was created for Shusuke Kaneko's second idea for a Godzilla movie after deciding that a movie pitting Godzilla against Kamacuras would be redundant in the wake of Film/GodzillaVsMegaguirus, but Kaneko decided that the movie's premise was too grim for a New Years season movie and rejected the script in favor of Giant Monsters All Out Attack.
