** Even the bulgy eyes are horrific when you realize ''why'' they are bulgy: they have no eyelids. And much more, they are never seen moving out of place, being fixed in place like a fish's eye. In short, even Godzilla's sight causes him agony, as he is always picking up whatever light spectrums he sees by (not to mention any random flying debris) and cannot close or even squint his eyes the way most living things can to protect them (or re-moisturize them for that matter).

** Once he reaches his fourth form, Godzilla's very behavior is extremely unsettling. He simply plods forward, looking almost vacant, not really looking at or seeing anything around him. When the military opens fire with precision shots to his head, he doesn't even react and doesn't even seem to notice what's happening, save when his eyes close in anticipation of an exploding bomb. He doesn't really even notice the tanks that are firing on him and, even when he destroys a few, it seems to have been more by accident than actual intent. The first time he actually displays more animalistic behavior is when the U.S. Military's bombs manage to do some damage to him.

* ''Ride/GodzillaVsEvangelionTheReal4D'' has a big one: Shin ''King Ghidorah''. He's as powerful as ever, and moves bonelessly through the air, swimming about and shrieking with joy as he destroys everything around him.
** From what we've seen, he's not exactly that big of a horror as Godzilla is, but the way he appears is akin to a demon coming out of the sky. Not to mention, he's still very much imposing, given his larger build. And, keep in mind, he's built up to be a bigger threat to the [=EVAs=] than Godzilla. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Clearly, this won't end well...]]
** In the same viewing, Shin Godzilla proves himself to be a [[NoSell powerful opponent against the EVAs]]. He barely has to do much of anything aside from the odd tail-whack and such before he brings out the big guns; not even Asuka's typical LeeroyJenkins tactics faze him. Thankfully, though, due to the age rating his way of dealing with his foes is [[LighterAndSofter FAR less bloody]]. One shudders to think what would have happened to the pilot trio otherwise...

* Godzilla's second form. It's huge bulgy eyes initially make it appear goofy, upon closer observation and seeing move and thrash around wildly, it's positively nightmarish. Bloodied and in agony, it's a disturbing malformation, like something straight out of a zombie apocalypse.
