** The fifth novel, ''Godzilla and the Lost Continent'', was announced but cancelled when the 1998 film bombed; it would feature [[GaiasVengeance the Earth itself]] (personified as a returned Biollante and an original stone/fire monster, or an existing kaiju had Toho not agreed) striking back against mankind while undoing much of the environmental damage that mankind had done over the years. The titular "lost continent" would also be occupied by returning monsters Varan, Manda and Battra, the survivors of a long-lost civilization, and a "monstrous forest growth", creatures resembling the [[Literature/TheDayOfTheTriffids Triffids]], which would appear around the world.

** A 2017 study on marine iguanas identified five new subspecies, and one of these subspecies was named ''Amblyrhynchus cristatus godzilla'', specifically as a reference to the incarnation from ''Film/Godzilla1998'', which was a mutated iguana.
** There is a genus of theropod dinosaur called ''Gojirasaurus''. However, it doesn't resemble the actual Godzillasaurus from ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah'', wasn't actually very large (it was large only for a theropod of the Triassic, but was dwarfed by many later species) and is possibly dubious (it may just be a large ''Coelophysis'').
** ''Scytodes kumonga'' is a species of Iranian spitting spider named after the spitting spider kaiju Kumonga. ''Anime/GodzillaSingularPoint'' makes a reference to this by giving Kumonga the scientific name ''Kumonga scytodes''.
** Remipedes are a group of centipede-like cave crustaceans closely related to insects. More than a third of the identified genera are named after various Godzilla kaiju. There's ''Godzilliognomus'', ''Godzillius'', ''Kumonga'', ''Angirasu'' (Anguirus), and ''Pleomothra'' (Mothra).
** ''Ramisyllis kingghidorahi'' is a species of polychaete worm named after Godzilla's ArchEnemy, a three-headed, two-tailed dragon. It was given this name due to its highly branching body with many posterior ends.
** Numerous other animals have names derived from Godzilla kaiju, such as ''Mecodema godzilla'' (a large ground beetle), ''Diplacodon gigan'' (an extinct ungulate named after Gigan), ''Mutotylaspis tripudium'' (a prehistoric hermit crab named after the [=MUTOs=]), and ''Agroeca angirasu'' (a spiny spider species named after Anguirus).
** A variable star in the Sunburst galaxy is named after the big lizard himself, in reference to the star being the most luminous one currently known. In 2023, another such "monstrous" star was named Mothra.
