History Characters / NESGodzillaCreepypasta

A serpentine monster with a horse skull for a face, Not-Hedorah is the [[BossMook boss of the related Horse-Bats]] seen in the Green Temple Levels.

* BossMook: 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.

[[folder:Red]]

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, [[spoiler:and is the culprit behind the death of Melissa, his former girlfriend]].

* BreathWeapon: During the final battle, Red breathes {{Hellfire}} which does heavy damage and [[spoiler:causes Zach incredible pain]].

* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler: In spite of all of his actions, Red has shades of this. His reaction to Zach selecting Acacius is to snatch it out of the main board (ironically, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain putting him in the stalemate that will force him to break the rules]]). Like your average bully, Red seems to panic when confronted with something that could potentially injure him.]]
* EvilIsBigger: He dwarfs GODZILLA! [[spoiler: In all of his forms.]]

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: In universe and in the game.]]

* 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 [[spoiler: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]].

* HonorBeforeReason: ''Sort of.'' Red is willing to use literally any trick he can to shift the advantage towards him, but he feels obligated to follow a loose set of rules and give Zach a chance to survive by allowing him to flee [[spoiler: or in the case of his boss fight, allow him to actually fight back. It's possible however that he wants to break the rules, but the consequences of breaking them are too great to be worth the risk... until the end, where it's the only way to resolve a stalemate he deliberately set up.]]

* KickTheDog: Engages in this multiple times during the game, but none worse than during the final battle where [[spoiler:not only does the bastard unpause the game just to fuck with Zach, not only does he pull a Scar and admit to killing Melissa, but he also kills all of Zach's monsters before Acacius in incredibly sadistic ways just to cause them and Zach more pain.]]
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:Even after Zach gets to take control of Acacius, looking at the health bars at the end of their fight makes it clear that he came dangerously close to winning the battle.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: Had Red not separated Acacius from the main board, then he wouldn’t have had to break to rules and try to stop Zach’s heart, allowing Melissa to step in and free Acacius. Additionally, it's very likely Zach would have used Acacius against Red first had he had access to him from the start, and would have probably not been able to face his final form effectively and Red would have won fair and square by the game's rules. So effectively, [[DickDastardlyStopsToCheat Red's efforts to screw Zach out of the best playable monster is what allowed said monster to be able to beat him.]]]]
** It's implied that Red [[spoiler: 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.]]

* NoFairCheating: [[spoiler: His attempt to cheat and manually stop Zach's heart is what ends up allowing Zachary to use Acacius to defeat him.]]
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: He assumes a towering giant form after Zach kills him the first time with Solomon.]]

* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:In the final battle]], he breathes hellfire.
* RecurringBoss: Appears at the end of each stage to chase the player. [[spoiler: [[FinalBoss Except in Zenith.]]]]

* UnskilledButStrong: DEFINITELY. He's immensely powerful, mostly making up for the fact that [[spoiler: 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.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Red can change into a Running form, a Swimming form, and a Flying Form [[spoiler: As well as a giant OneWingedAngel form.]]

* PurposelyOverpowered: [[UpToEleven 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.]]

* JackOfAllStats: Godzilla.

* {{Flight}}: Mothra, natch. It's about the only thing Zach likes about her. This trait becomes necessary when airborne enemies/bosses appear and when the environment itself is too hazardous for land-based monsters.

* CharacterSelectForcing: Forces Zach to use Mothra on Entropy. Justified, though, since it’s impossible to use any other character.

* InhumanEmotion: Out of his 23 different expressions, 12 of them see to be this, with changes like Face's sprite flipping upside down, turning into a cyclops or looking like a clown. Two of these expressions only appear once, after the questions "Do you like ice cream?" and "Are you a tough guy?"

!!!Not-Gezora

!!!'''Not-Monsters'''

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.

* OurMonstersAreWeird: These are not traditional kaiju, and bear a closer resemblance to {{Toku}} monsters than the original monsters they’re derived from. These are just some blatantly weird ''things'' that seem like an odd mishmash of random animal and mechanical parts all crammed together. Some seem to draw design elements from the regular monsters they replaced, such as Not-MOGUERA's head being shaped somewhat like MOGUERA's, but others are just random.

%%[[caption-width-right:184:some caption text]]

* AscendedDemon: [[spoiler: By the end.]]

* HateSink: There is nothing sympathetic about him and he shows no remorse on his crimes.

* TheSociopath: Though a literal monster, Red is completely aware of the suffering his actions bring, and he [[{{Sadist}} loves every second of it]].

* HeelFaceTurn: He committed one before the start of the game, [[spoiler: and he hates Red enough to tell him he'd rather die than serve him.]]

* BlueIsHeroic: His fur is midnight blue.

* OurMonstersAreWeird: These are not traditional kaiju. These are just some blatantly weird ''things'' that seem like an odd mishmash of random animal and mechanical parts all crammed together. Some seem to draw design elements from the regular monsters they replaced, such as Not-MOGUERA's head being shaped somewhat like MOGUERA's, but others are just random.

!!!'''Zach'''

* SoWhatDoWeDoNow?: The entire experience has left Zach totally depressed and unsure what to do now.

* OutOfFocus: Suberted. Mothra gets [[spoiler:an entire world to herself thanks to Face]].
* PutOnABus: Mothra has yet to return in the sequel.

!!!'''Not-Monsters'''
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: What are they? What is the story behind them? What are their motivations? Where did they come from? It's never explained. They just show up to fight and be killed by Zach.
* 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.
* OurMonstersAreWeird: These are not traditional kaiju. These are just some blatantly weird ''things'' that seem like an odd mishmash of random animal and mechanical parts all crammed together. Some seem to draw design elements from the regular monsters they replaced, such as Not-MOGUERA's head being shaped somewhat like MOGUERA's, but others are just random.

* BigBad: He's the main antagonist of the story.

* NightmareFace: Take a guess.

!!!'''Solomon'''

* AscendedDemon: [[spoiler: By the end.]]
* BlueIsHeroic: His fur is midnight blue.
* CatchPhrase: "Still The Best 1973", which appears [[SigningOffCatchphrase each time he finishes a level or beats a boss.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a demon with midnight blue fur and red eyes, but he's one of the playable heroic characters.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Says he’d rather die than serve Red]].
* HeelFaceTurn: He committed one before the start of the game, [[spoiler: and he hates Red enough to tell him he'd rather die than serve him.]]
* MasterOfAll: See PurposelyOverpowered.
* 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]].

!!!'''[[spoiler:Melissa]]'''

* 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]].
* EmotionlessGirl: According to Zachary, whenever she went into her "episodes", she would speak in a monotonous voice and keep a completely straight face.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Although specified as being one in-game, she bears more of a resemblance to a half-finished statue. She has no wings and no facial features other than her blue eyes.
* 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]].

!!!'''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.]]
* EnergyWeapon: Combined with eyebeams and he's capable of dealing massive damage.
* {{Flight}}: He can also levitate in midair.
* LightIsGood: "The Golden Light".
* MeaningfulName: A quick search reveals Acacius shares his name with various saints and clergymen.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Though it’s never stated outright that he is one.
* PurposelyOverpowered: [[UpToEleven 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.]]

[[folder: Debuting in ''Godzilla:Replay'']]

* HateSink: There is nothing sympathetic about him.

* SacrificalLion: [[spoiler: Granted the Blue Angel/Melissa mutilation at the hands of Red was pretty dark (and Zach really started hating Red for it), but Face's death came pretty much out of the blue and establishes that Red is not pulling any punches. His death, combined with the last TV tile, makes sure that all comedy goes out the window.]]

* FrickinLaserBeams: Combined with eyebeams and he's capable of dealing massive damage.

* LawfulEvil: Is he a villain? Yes. Is he unquestionably vicious and cruel with his punishments to traitors? Absolutely. But he also displays a strange code of honor, giving Carl two separate opportunities to leave before [[spoiler: attacking him personally]]. Contrast to Red, who regularly attempted to kill the protagonist's monsters and was full-on ChaoticEvil.

* {{Adorkable}}: A (comparatively) small creature that is nothing but nice and helpful to the protagonist.

!!!'''Zach'''
* ActionSurvivor: Manages to survive through the entire game fighting through monsters out to kill him through a video game.
* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler:He tries pleading with Red to let him go, but Red refuses]].
* {{Backstory}}: The whole creepypasta is him telling his whole ordeal he managed to survive.
* TheCameo: He wrote Carl an email during Chapter 2 of Replay, responding that he doesn't know how the game manages to create entire worlds.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: His girlfriend during his middle school days, Melissa, died in a accident. It's later revealed that Red was behind it.]]
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Not much is known about Zach, other than he's over 18 and is an avid Godzilla fan.
* SoWhatDoWeDoNow?: The entire experience has left Zach totally depressed and unsure what to do now.

* EatenAlive: [[spoiler: Godzilla gets eaten by red during the final battle.]]

!!!'''Godzilla and Mothra'''

* AlasPoorScrappy: In-universe, [[spoiler:Mothra dies to the FinalBoss first, and as much as Zach hates playing as her he feels it was a terrible way for her to go out.]]
* BalanceBuff: In Entropy, Zach learns that Mothra's eyebeams now deal the same damage as Godzilla's punches. Mothra is also able to fly over bosses when she couldn't in the original game, allowing her poison scales to have a better chance of hitting enemies.

* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Mothra is the first of Zach's monsters to die to Red, and she goes out this way. Godzilla also suffers this fate.]]
* {{Flight}}: Mothra, natch. It's about the only thing Zach likes about her. This trait becomes necessary when airborne enemies/bosses appear and when the environment itself is too hazardous for land-based monsters.

* OutOfFocus: Notably subverted for a fanfic with original characters in it. Godzilla gets plenty of screentime, and Mothra gets [[spoiler:an entire world to herself thanks to Face]].

* 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?
