* GladHesOnOurSide: In the novelization, initially, Ilene view Shimo with fear and suspicion, comparing her to the destructive Ghidorah. However, witnessing Shimo's peaceful behavior after being freed from Skar King's control she recognizes that Shimo is not inherently malicious and may even share a similar role with Godzilla. Ilene cautionary remarks to keep the government away from her if they don't want to cause a world-ending event, implying that Shimo might turn against humanity if she is wronged again, but as long as she is simply studied in quite she is just going to do her job as protector of natural order like Godzilla or Kong.

The novelization hints that she may have dominated Godzilla in a past encounter, and her destructive potential is underscored by her role in triggering multiple ice ages. This act highlights the global environmental impact she can exert. Ilene considers she is more powerful than every antagonistic kaiju that Godzilla fought. The Iwi have an entire prophecy talking about her potential to bring an actually Apocalypse under Skar King's control and she possibly put Ghidorah in Antarctica's ice and froze Greenland in matter of hours or maybe even minutes at some point in the past.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Trapper finds it hard to imagine that there is a kaiju that have fought Godzilla in the past and even dominated him in their fight when Ilene tells him about the art rock from Pacific depicting Shimo fighting Godzilla.
* BlueIsCalm: Depending on the situation, Shimo both inverts and plays the trope straight. Under Skar King's control, she is violent and activates her bioluminescence whenever she is forced to attack. But once free of his control she turns out to be a gentle giant.

* [[WorldsStrongestMan World's Strongest Woman]]: A ''serious'' contender for this amongst the Titans.

Skar King's control over her makes his rule undisputed amongst any Titan that opposes him, and whenever his own combat showing isn't enough to bring down his enemies, he falls back on using Shimo's brute force to overwhelm them.
