** Anguirus is usually portrayed as one of Godzilla’s closest friends, but in this fic, he and Godzilla see each other like brothers. It only made Anguirus’ death at the hands of Ghidorah all the more upsetting for Godzilla, [[ItsPersonal and made his rivalry with Ghidorah more personal]].

* LastOfHisKind: Jia is the only surviving member of the Iwi Tribe.



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After defeating Ghidorah and ordering the other titans to stop attacking, rather than force them to hibernate again, he instead gave them the choice to either find new homes or go back to hibernating.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2448820 Witches and Monsters]]'' is a ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''/''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' FusionFic series written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Atomic_King123/pseuds/Atomic_King123 Atomic_King123]]

Everyone in The Demon Realm knows that titans once existed many years ago. They know that most of the mainland and islands that exist in their world are made up from the corpses of these deceased and extinct giants who passed away long ago. But what the inhabitants of this world don't know is that their realm is home to more than one species of titans. Titans who fell into hibernation and have laid dormant in their world for centuries.

Until now.

Join Luz, Amity, Eda, King, Raine and many more of your favorite ''Owl House'' characters as they come face to face with some of the strongest and most powerful creatures the world has ever seen.

Godzilla, Mothra, Kong, Ghidorah, Rodan and many more of [[Franchise/{{MonsterVerse}} The Monsterverse's]] famous Titans are stomping their way into The Demon Realm.

!!''Witches and Monsters'' contains examples of:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes that apply to the series as a whole]]
* AdaptationalContextChange: Monarch is changed from a scientific organization to a special Coven run by Eda, Lilith, and Raine.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Hunter’s HeelFaceTurn happens a lot earlier than it does in canon.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Gus and Hunter’s Palismen are called Gecko and Redwing instead of Emmiline Bailey Marcostimo and Flapjack respectively. Of course, ''Godzilla vs Kong'' reveals that Hunter’s Palisman is still named Flapjack, [[DoNotCallMePaul but he prefers to be called Redwing now]].
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:
** While this already applied to Godzilla and Mothra in the [=MonsterVerse=] with their symbiotic relationship, this fic takes things further and had the two see each other as family.
** Anguirus is usually portrayed as one of Godzilla’s closest friends, but in this fic, he and Godzilla see each other like brothers. It only made Anguirus’ death at the hands of Ghidorah all the more upsetting for Godzilla, [[ItsPersonal and made his rivalry with Ghidorah more personal]].
** Kong is more of a father to Jia after the rest of the Iwi were wiped out thanks to Ghidorah’s rampage.
** Because they reunite earlier than in canon after they got captured, Raine and Eda start dating again, and eventually get married.
** Luz and Hunter start to see each other as family long before the events of “[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS3E1ThanksToThem Thanks to Them]]”.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Jia is a witch in this continuity instead of a human, and by extension, so are all of the Iwa.
* AdaptationalWeaponSwap:
** Rather than the cat Palisman, Ghost, Amity’s Palisman is a bluebird named Chipper, who originally belonged to one of the first wild witches to see Godzilla and Ghidorah fight over a thousand years ago. Later on, she chooses to carve her own Palisman in addition to using Chipper, which ends up being Ghost.
** In canon, the Palisman Luz carved was [[spoiler:an egg which eventually hatched into the "[[VoluntaryShapeshifting snakeshifter]]", Stringbean]]. In this fic, Luz decides to base her Palisman off [[spoiler:the late Mothra by combining the recently carved butterfly Palisman with the energy from one of Mothra’s glyphs, so in a way, Mothra is the "mother" of Luz’s new Palisman, Hope]].
* CompositeCharacter: Blight Industries takes on the same role Apex Cybernetics had in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong''.
* JerkassToOne: Eda holds a great deal of resentment for Godzilla [[SinsOfOurFathers because of what the Gojiras did to the apes in the past]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: For a while, Godzilla isn’t aware of Kong’s existence.
* LogicalWeakness: Like most interpretations of the character, Godzilla gets his powers from radiation. The problem in this fic is that because there aren’t as many sources of nuclear energy in the Demon Realm, it’s hard for Godzilla to find a way to recharge.

[[folder:Tropes that apply to ''King of the Monsters'']]
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In canon Hunter was [[spoiler:the latest in a long line of grimwalker of Caleb Wittebane]], but in this story, he was taken in by the Emperor’s Coven and adopted by Emperor Belos as a baby when his parents were killed.
* AdaptationalContextChange: Rather than an experimental superweapon that could kill anything within its radius like it was in ''Film/Godzilla1954'' and ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'', the Oxygen Destroyer is a form of draining magic based on the kind used by basilisks, and if activated, it can drain the energy out of every single organism its blast comes into contact with.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Both Jia and Kong appear in the present day, long before the events of ''Film/GodzillaVsKong''.
* BadBoss: Kikimora orders her soldiers to fire her airship’s cannons on the Frost Islands, not even caring that there are still troops there, all so she can eliminate the Golden Guard. When it turns out that Ghidorah was imprisoned in the mountain she shot at, [[DirtyCoward Kikimora]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere takes the first chance she can to run away]].
* BatmanGambit: Odalia schemes to throw Emperor Belos under the bus by blaming the destruction caused by the titans and the Oxygen Destroyer on him. [[spoiler:She succeeds]].
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Hunter is convinced that all the times he was abused by Belos, it’s a form of "discipline". He eventually realizes how terrible of a parent Belos is thanks to Luz and Amity.
* {{Determinator}}: After Anguirus’ death, Mothra said that Godzilla chased after King Ghidorah for ''three months'' without resting.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:After Emperor Belos is overthrown and Ghidorah is defeated, Odalia and Alador manage to salvage one of Ghidorah’s severed heads, planning to use it for "Project M.G."]].
* VillainousBreakdown: Once his plans start to fall apart (either through interference from outside forces or through events that were out of his control), Belos gradually loses more of his composure.

[[folder:Tropes that apply to ''Return to Skull Island'']]
* AllForNothing: Everyone’s efforts to rescue the people on Skull Island end up being this, since the Iwi are all dead by the time they get there, with the exception of Jia.
* AscendedExtra:
** Camazotz was a Titan exclusive to the prequel novel ''Kingdom Kong'', but here, he’s the BigBad.
** Similarly, the red Skullcrawler from ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' who only existed to [[spoiler:[[TheWorfEffect serve as cannon fodder for Mechagodzilla]]]] becomes a bigger threat in this fic.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Tic-tac-toe is called "noughts and crosses" in the Demon Realm.
* CallForward: When discussing whether they should tell Kong that they helped Godzilla in the past, Luz and Amity wonder which one of them would win in a fight.
* TheCameo: Godzilla gets some focus in one chapter, showing what he’s been doing since he defeated Ghidorah.
* ADayInTheLimelight: After the last fic focused primarily on Godzilla and Mothra, this fic dives deeper into Kong’s mythos.
* DramaticIrony:
** When Eda tells Lilith she regrets not bringing Raine, King, and Luz along with them on their trip to Skull Island, neither of them know that Luz and her friends went to Skull Island while they’re still trying to get there, or that Raine, Hunter, and King are all trying to follow them.
** After thinking about how much he hates the apes for slaughtering his kind, Godzilla mentally ponders what Luz is doing right now, completely unaware that she’s currently on a mission to save one of the apes he despises so much.
* TheDreaded: Camazotz.
* FreudianSlip: Amity almost mentions Godzilla’s name to Kong when explaining what happened before she and her friends went to Skull Island, but backtracks at the last second.
* HandicappedBadass: Willow’s leg is broken for most of the fic, but she still contributes to the action.
* HiddenDepths:
** Hunter is shown to have an interest in music after Belos took him to see an opera put on by Kikimora.
* HopeCrusher: Camazotz aims to be this for Kong after failing to get any kind of emotion out of the other apes he’s killed in the past due to them [[NotAfraidToDie being at peace before dying honorably in battle]].
* InnocentlyInsensitive: While Luz tries to get to know Jia, she asks where she got her knife from, unaware that it was a TragicKeepsake from her mother.
* MoralityPet: Eda [[DiscussedTrope discusses]] this trope in one chapter, as she fears spending too much time away from Raine and the kids is causing her to relapse into her darker and more self-serving instincts from when she was TheMostWanted witch on the Boiling Isles.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A title like “The Dark Titan” really sums up how scary Camazotz is.
* PapaWolf: When Jia is separated from Kong during the latter’s first fight with Camazotz, Kong is determined to make sure Jia is safe.
-->''If that monster had dared lay even a single claw on Jia's head, Kong swore he was going to make it pay.''
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After defeating Ghidorah and ordering the other titans to stop attacking, rather than force them to hibernate again, he instead gave them the choice to either find new homes or go back to hibernating.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Eda shows Lilith a painting that depicts Godzilla and Kong fighting each other, saying that during her visit to Skull Island all those years ago, an oracle from the Iwi Tribe had a vision of the two.]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: Jia speaks with her own voice for the first time in a while during the climax.
* TechnicolorFire: Jia’s preferred spells involve green fire.

[[folder:Tropes that apply to ''Godzilla vs Kong'']]
* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Odalia is more than okay with killing Amity once she disowns her as her daughter, outright ''strangling her daughter'' while Luz, Hunter, and King watch in horror through a Penstagram call]].
* AdaptationExpansion: This fic’s ActionPrologue shows a battle from the war between the apes and Gojiras.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: While it was hinted at in canon when she was taken in, Vee is officially adopted by Camila, making her the latter’s daughter and Luz’s sister.
* AscendedExtra: Mokele-Mbembe was a minor titan from ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'', and he gets more focus in the first act, thanks to one of his stolen memories containing the location of a portal to the Hollow Realm.
* BaitAndSwitch: After a scene where Odalia discusses her plan to kill Luz, the next scene focuses on Amity making breakfast for herself, only for Odalia to walk in… except it’s really an illusion created by Edric and Emira.
* BatmanGambit: Using the Orca technology used for Project M.G., Odalia plans to lure Godzilla to the Boiling Isles to cause chaos, all so that Monarch will see him as an enemy.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:After Amity’s “death”, Odalia puts on a sad face to garner sympathy from the public]].
* ForWantOfANail: Because Belos was defeated earlier than in canon, Eda managed to rebuild the portal, and when Luz reunited with Camila, she was allowed to live in the Demon Realm on the condition that she visit Camila every once in a while.
* ItsPersonal: After Godzilla [[spoiler:seemingly kills the Hexsquad]], both Eda and Kong decide to take action against him.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Alador isn't let in on all of Odalia's plan, mainly the part where she [[spoiler:leaves Amity to be killed during Godzilla's rampage, even two weeks after it happened]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Once Godzilla realizes he let his violent instincts take over as part of Odalia's plan, he's horrified by his actions and all the innocent people he could have killed.
* MythologyGag: The outfits Luz, Amity, and Willow wear after the TimeSkip are the same as the ones the characters wore in the concept art for the show.
* NoSympathy: Odalia couldn’t care less about the fate of the Iwi Tribe. Not only does she refer to them as “primitive fools”, but she mocks Kong for not living up to being worshipped as a god if he wasn’t able to save the Iwi Tribe from perishing.
* PlatonicCoParenting: Kong and Lilith both serve as Jia’s parents.
* TimeSkip: The fic takes place three years after the events of ''King of the Monsters''. After [[spoiler:the Hexsquad gets trapped in the Human Realm]], there’s another two week time skip as well.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Odalia is shown to have a decent reputation among the Boiling Isles, and the caring facade she puts on helps her image too. Of course, she’s nowhere near as nice as she tries to appear.
* WouldHurtAChild: Part of Odalia’s plan to turn the Monarch Coven against Godzilla involves using the transmitter from Project M.G. to trick Godzilla into killing Luz and her friends, [[MamaBear triggering Eda’s maternal instincts as a result]]. And assuming Amity won’t listen to her after Luz is killed?
-->'''Odalia:''' Well, Alador and I will still have at least two children left. I'm sure he, Edric and Emira will get over [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident Amity's tragic "accident"]] if she chooses to side against me.
