History Characters / NESGodzillaCreepypasta

A grotesque and positively gargantuan aquatic creature born from the moon. It serves as a mini-boss in the Winter Forest level.

* BeastWithAHumanFace: The top of its head is roughly shaped like a human face, with largest of its eyes serving as the "eyes", and the hornlike protrusion on its head serving as the "nose". This seems to confirm that the creature is indeed transformed from the curled up humanoid that hatched from the moon.

* OurMonstersAreWeird: It hatches from the moon like an egg as a curled up grey humanoid, which falls into the water below and transforms into this aquatic nightmare shortly after. Uh...

* AscendedExtra: Anguirus was actually a scrapped playable monster in the original. Here he's given a proper moveset unique for himself.

[[caption-width-right:250:STILL THE BEST 1973]]

* BlueIsHeroic: His fur is midnight blue. His eyes also change from red to blue after he's [[spoiler:brought back to life]].
* CatchPhrase: "Still The Best 1973", which appears [[SigningOffCatchphrase each time he finishes a level or beats a boss.]]

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Says he'd rather die than serve Red]].
* HeelFaceTurn: He committed one against Red before the events of the game, which explains Red's particular hostility towards him.
-->'''Solomon''': '''"I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN SERVE YOU."'''

* MysteriousPast: The significance of "Still The Best 1973", how Face knew to give him to Zach, and his role as [[spoiler: one of Red's henchmen]] are all unknown.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Sort of. He does heavily resemble a typical demon, in direct contrast to Red.
* PurposelyOverpowered: He does twice the damage Godzilla does and he can fly.
* RedIsHeroic: Mostly falls under BlueIsHeroic, but he has red eyes. [[spoiler:Until after his resurrection, when they turn blue]].

[[folder:Acacius (spoilers!)]]

* PurposelyOverpowered: Even moreso than Solomon. Justified in that he wasn't stronger than Red's final form; he simply made the battle winnable in the first place.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Face doesn't seem to be able to understand human morality and his reactions to Zach's answers to his questions are rather incomprehensible.

Bizarre creatures taking the names and places of Moguera, Gezora, Varan, Hedorah, Baragon, Gigan and Mechagodzilla. Their appearances cement to Zach that this copy of the game clearly has something wrong with it.

* FightingClown: Its fighting style is rather wacky, what with its attacks including shooting missiles out of its neck and kicking with its front legs like it's doing the can-can, all while having its head turned backwards for most of the battle. Nonetheless, Not-Varan serves as a competent opponent for Zach.

* KingMook: The apparent leader of the Horse-Bats. Notably, defeating him on Trance causes the Horse-Bats to stop appearing in other levels on that planet, indicating that Not-Hedorah's defeat resulted in them either fleeing or being destroyed simultaneously.

A towering beast even for Kaiju standards, Not-Baragon sports an elephant skull for a face and an extending gatling gun in its crotch.

* ArmlessBiped: Conspicuously lacks a set of arms.
* EvilIsBigger: The biggest of the Not-Monsters, and one of the biggest of the Anomalies in general. This is to the point where the "floor" is lowered to accommodate for its massive size, and even then is still a few pixels away from touching the GUI. Ironic, considering Baragon was the smallest monster in the original game.
* MoreDakka: One of its attacks involves extending a gatling gun and firing it, which it uses in conjunction with its ice breath attack to deal massive damage.
* PhallicWeapon: Not-Baragon sports a very large gatling gun... which it extends directly from its crotch.

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: Its boss fight initially starts with only a piranha suspended in the air, only for Not-Gigan to [[JumpScare suddenly leap out from the side with a loud noise]], cutting the piranha to bloody pieces.

* HellIsThatNoise: The noise it makes when it leaps out from the side is described by Zach as a "deafening shriek".

* MightyGlacier: Described as being stronger than [=MechaGodzilla=] and having the most firepower out of all of the Not-Monsters, but is slower and unable to jump as much. Zach uses its inability to jump as well against it by flying over it as Mothra and bombarding it with poison powder.
* TrickBoss: [=Not-MechaGodzilla=] takes the form of the original [=MechaGodzilla=] up until its health is halfway, to which it starts glitching out and transforming into its true form.

* HighPressureBlood: One of its attacks involves shooting a red colored "blood beam" from its mouth.

* EvilIsBigger: He dwarfs GODZILLA! In all of his forms.

* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice in the audio version.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Red can change into a Running form, a Swimming form, and a Flying Form as well as a giant OneWingedAngel form.

[[caption-width-right:219:The various emotions of Face]]

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: [=Not-MechaGodzilla=] takes the form of the original [=MechaGodzilla=] up until its health is halfway, to which it starts glitching out and transforming into its true form.
* BeastWithAHumanFace: Its face is conspicuously humanlike compared to the rest of the Not-Monsters.
* MechanicalAbomination: Appears distinctly robotic in design.

* CognizantLimbs: Each part of Chimera has its own health bar, and is removed from Chimera after its health is depleted.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each health bar is colored to match each segment, making it easier to track how much damage has been done to each part.

* SawBladesOfDeath: Not-Moguera is fashioned into one on its right arm.

!!!Not-Hedorah

* ThatOneBoss: Zach describes him as 'one of the most aggravating, difficult replacement monsters' to fight.

!Debuting in ''Godzilla: Replay''

!!Main characters

[[folder:Carl]]
!!!'''Carl'''
The main protagonist of ''Godzilla: Replay''. He bought Zach's copy of ''Godzilla: Monster of Monsters'' from eBay after learning from his story. As he started his playthrough, he quickly learned the game was even weirder than he thought.

* AmbiguousSituation: Carl plays the game for whatever reason knowing the sinister nature of the cartridge through Zach's playthrough. As of Chapter 5, his motives for doing so remain unknown.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Unlike Zach, Carl is much more casual in regards to the game, more explorative, and knows far less about the Godzilla mythos.

[[/folder]]

!!Playable Kaiju

[[folder:Rodan]]
!!!'''Rodan'''

The giant pterosaur that takes turns being Godzilla's friend and foe. Despite not being in the original game, Carl came across him and unlocked him as a fully playable character.

* AscendedExtra: Just like Angurius, Rodan was a scrapped playable monster in the original version. Here he's one of Carl's main monsters and presumably a replacement for Mothra.
* BreathWeapon: Rodan has the ability to shoot a flammable mist from his mouth, based on his largely forgotten smoke breath from ''Film/{{Rodan}}''.
* OutOfFocus: Rodan's moveset is notably less fleshed out compared to the other extra monsters other than the fact he can fly and is capable of close-quarter combat. He doesn't display any kind of special attack on screen until Chapter 6.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:King Caesar]]
!!!'''King Caesar'''

The guardian kaiju of Okinawa, and one-time ally of Godzilla. Carl unlocks him as a playable character despite him never being part of the original game.

* GuestStarPartyMember: His only appearance is in Chapter 5 before [[spoiler:it's revealed he's actually Warlock in disguise]]

[[/folder]]

!!Anomalies

[[folder:Warlock]]
!!!'''Warlock'''

A dark, monstrous entity who repeatedly crosses paths with Carl, warning him to stop playing the game. Once his warnings are ignored, he begins directly intervening in his journey.

* AffablyEvil: Rather polite as far as antagonists can go. He actually gives out warnings, and when attacked initially he simply parries the blow without a counterattack and leaves with one last warning. Even when retreating from a lost fight, he takes a moment to tell the player [[VillainRespect he fights well, even if it matters little]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Described as a 'Malformed Despot' and is capable of dishing out huge amounts of punishment, even [[spoiler: killing someone who helped the protagonist in a single shot]].
* BigBad: Certainly shaping up to be one.
* BodyHorror: WordOfGod calls him a 'Malformed Despot' on his official sprite sheet.
* TheChessmaster: Shaping up to be one; he's definitely more of a planner than Red was, and his one trick so far, [[spoiler:impersonating a playable character to keep the player from progressing]], had Carl fooled for a decent while.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Unlike Red, he seems to be more reserved and cerebral, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm backing out of fights whenever it becomes apparent he can't win]]. [[spoiler: He also attempts to fight Carl in Chapter 5, instead of just waiting until the end, and that's after keeping him fooled with his King Caesar ruse. Finally, he actually ''does'' lose that fight even if he flies away, which implies that he lacks Red's overwhelming power]].
* EldritchAbomination: Just him showing up changes everything to the same color as him.
* EvilSoundsDeep: According to WordOfGod.
* GetOut: Repeatedly tells Carl to "leave" i.e. stop playing the game.
* {{Kaiju}}: Of course.
* MeaningfulName: A warlock is the male equivalent to a witch, and Warlock certainly seems to use some kind of magic.
* NightmareFace: Like Red, his is always grimacing. It also keeps the tribal theme, heavily resembling an Easter Island face.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: A {{Kaiju}} with an Easter Island-style head, musclebound arms, long stringy black hair and no legs? Certainly an odd design.
* OurMagesAreDifferent: His name implies this; he seems to use some kind of magic, but he's also a kaiju and doesn't use any sort of catalyst.
* PerpetualFrowner: His standard expression is a furious scowl.
* RealityWarper: The color palette changes when he shows up to shades of dull grey.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler: At one point he shifts into King Caesar to prevent Carl from getting to the boss of the level.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Usol]]
!!!'''Usol'''

A small (in comparison to Godzilla) creature who communicates directly with Carl. Unlike the vast majority of the weird things encountered in the game, he is friendly. He is always in a bad spot and asks Carl for help.

* CuteOwl: His round head, front-facing eyes and flat face, plus his general avian body scheme invokes an owl.
* {{Kaiju}}: Make no mistake; he may be noticeably smaller than Godzilla and Rodan, but he still dwarfs humans in size.
* MoralityPet: He seems to be this for Carl, in a rare heroic example. Carl is always happy to see him and whenever he's upset/in distress, Carl's first instinct is to either comfort him or help him. He's the one character Carl shows anything other than mild curiosity for, and [[spoiler: when he gets kidnapped]], Carl is ''thoroughly'' pissed.
* TheWoobie: All three times we see him so far. He's lost in a maze, and then his home is gone, and then his family might be dead. Invoked when Carl notes he "can't help but feel bad for the little guy". [[spoiler: And then, to make matters worse, he gets kidnapped.]] Poor guy just can't catch a break, huh?

* BreakTheCutie: He starts out as a cheerful kid who's just excited to play an old NES game from his childhood. However, the game ends up being more than it seems and while survives in the end, the experience shakes him up tremendously, reopens a lot of old wounds, and leaves him depressed.

* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod is that Red is [[VideoGame/Earthbound1998 Giygas]] as a Kaiju.

* MakeMeWannaShout: His ranged attack is what appears to be a roar.

* OffModel: It's in the name. They are bizarre ''things'' that take the place of monsters that are on the board and their body types and graphics are jarringly different from the normal monsters.

* OutOfFocus: Rodan's moveset is notably less fleshed out compared to the other extra monsters other than the fact he can fly and is capable of close-quarter combat. He doesn't display any kind of special attack on screen despite clearly having one.

Zach's girlfriend, who died before the events of the story. She was noted to have a mental disability of some sort which caused her to go into "episodes". [[spoiler:Red was the reason she died and her soul has been tortured by him ever since.]]

* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler: Melissa was Zachary's deceased girlfriend who suffered from implied schizophrenia, which lead to her accidental death. The game ''implies'' she was resurrected within the game and was able to provide closure to Zachary after he beat Red]].

The [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} King of the Monsters]] himself. As the main character of the game, he serves as Zach's most played monster.

One of Godzilla's best friends, but not a character present in ''Godzilla: Monster of Monsters''. Except this copy of the game has him as a full playable character for some reason...

* PurposelyOverpowered: Even moreso than Solomon. Justified in that [[spoiler: he wasn't stronger than Red's final form; he simply made the battle winnable in the first place.]]

A monstrous creature resembling a red scorpion with a humanoid face sporting a frowning grimace. It is the entity responsible for the phenomena haunting Zach's playthrough, and is the culprit behind the death of Melissa, his former girlfriend.

** It's implied that Red knew of Face's existence but didn't do anything about it even when Face reveals the ability to give (and take) monsters. Granted it's when Face gave Zach Solomon that Red realized Face could be a major liability, because immediately in the next world Red killed him. Unfortunately for Red, Face managed to give Zach Acacius before he died.

* UnskilledButStrong: DEFINITELY. He's immensely powerful, mostly making up for the fact that he's kind of a moron. Whilst not as mindless as, say, Godzilla, he's not an intelligent planner and doesn't always consider the consequences of his actions, as evidenced by everything about Acacius' availability. This doesn't make him ineffective per say, but it does hamper his effectiveness to a degree.

An unknown entity resembling a disembodied face who periodically asks Zach increasingly nonsensical questions.

* StarfishAliens: He seems to reside in a plane of reality where water is either uncommon or works differently from our water, since he has to confirm with Zach "Is water wet?"

A strange robot amalgamation derived from the original Moguera's appearance, this robot is the first of the Not-Monsters to be fought, and seems to be the end result of the glitching that caused its original counterpart to grow gigantic in the Earth level.

* ThisIsADrill: One of Not-Moguera's primary attacks is to extend its drill like arm forward to stab the player's monster.

* BadassNormal: While he's given a psychic [[BubbleGun bubble attack]] in the fangame, in the original story Not-Gezora's techniques are entirely phyisical, relying on his speed and long arms to try to gain the upper hand.
* MyBrainIsBig: Sports an impressively large brain that seems to be either exposed or tightly armoured.

A particularly weird looking member of the Not-Monsters, this quadrupedal monster attacks by shooting missiles from a port on his neck.

* AmbiguousSituation: Carl plays the game for whatever reason knowing the sinister nature of the cartridge through Zach's playthrough. As of Chapter 5 his motives for doing so remain unknown.

The giant pterosaur who takes turns being Godzilla's friend and foe. Despite not being in the original game, Carl came across him and unlocked him as a fully playable character.

* AscendedExtra: Just like Angurius, Rodan was a scrapped playable monster in the original version. Here he's one of Carl's main monsters and presumably a replacement to Mothra.
* OutOfFocus: Rodan's moveset is notably less fleshed out compared to the other extra monsters other than the fact he can fly and is capable at close quarter combat. He doesn't display any kind of special attack on screen despite clearly having one.

* RealityWarper: The color palette changes when he shows up to shades of a dull grey.

* CuteOwl: His round head, front facing eyes and flat face, plus his general avian body scheme invokes an owl.

* MoralityPet: Seems to be this for Carl, in a rare heroic example. Carl is always happy to see him and whenever he's upset/in distress, Carl's first instinct is to either comfort him or help him. He's the one character Carl shows anything other than mild curiosity for, and [[spoiler: when he gets kidnapped]], Carl is ''thoroughly'' pissed.

* BigGood: [[spoiler: Being dead isn't enough to stop her from doing everything she can to interfere with Red's plans for her boyfriend.]]
* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:Her intervention and freeing of Acacius]].

* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: If Red's reaction and subsequent interferences indicates, he's afraid of Acacius to the point he's willing to kill Zach. For what reason is unknown, but it's speaks lots of Acacius' power to the point Red is willing to break the rules.]]
* EleventhHourRanger: Only appears in the last world. [[spoiler: And he can't even be accessed until Red breaks the rules, allowing Melissa to make him available.]]

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In-universe. Zach starts realizing something is ''really'' messed up the moment he insults Red and he responds by turning around to look at him. Things start going south from there, and things reach their peak in the final battle where Red traps Zach in his chair in the real world unable to move except with the controller, causes him horrible and real pain with every hit he scores on Zach's monsters, and even tries to stop Zach's heart when he loses all his monsters except for Acacius. This last is what spells Red's defeat, as he had broken the rules by doing so, and had denied Zach use of him out of cowardice leading to a stalemate.

* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: When Zach got to Zenith, he wasn't getting back health from defeating enemies anymore, which meant that his monsters would've been worn down by the time they make it to the decisive FinalBattle with Red. Despite the fact that Acacius is his AchillesHeel, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy Red would've had a far higher chance of survival if he just let Zach use Acacius throughout Zenith instead of locking it away from him]] for the reasons stated above since Acacius would inevitably start to wear down as the world progresses instead of being fresh and ready to go when the DarkestHour rolls around.

* PerpetualFrowner: It's ALWAYS grimacing. Even when he's in an advantageous situation, he never stops frowning.
