7[[folder:Zachary]]
8!!!'''Zachary'''
9
10The main protagonist of the first creepypasta, Zachary (or just Zach) obtains a copy of ''VideoGame/GodzillaMonsterOfMonsters'' from a friend and proceeds to boot the game up to relive his nostalgia for it. Except this turns out to not be your average copy of that game...
11
12----
13
14* ActionSurvivor: Manages to survive through the entire game fighting through monsters out to kill him through a video game.
15* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler:He tries pleading with Red to let him go, but Red refuses]].
16* {{Backstory}}: The whole creepypasta is him telling his whole ordeal he managed to survive.
17* 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 he survives in the end, the experience shakes him up tremendously, reopens a lot of old wounds, and leaves him depressed.
18* 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.
19* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: His girlfriend during his middle school days, Melissa, died in a accident. It's later revealed that Red was behind it.]]
20* DoesNotLikeSpam: When face asks "Is Peanut Butter Good" Zack answers "No".
21* FeaturelessProtagonist: Not much is known about Zach, other than he's over 18 and is an avid Godzilla fan.
22* SoWhatDoWeDoNow: The entire experience has left Zach totally depressed and unsure what to do next. He decides to sell the game cartridge on eBay, which leads to the events of ''Godzilla: Replay''.

26[[folder:The Angel (spoilers!)]]
27!!!'''Melissa'''
28[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melissaangle.png]]
29Zach'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". Red was the reason she died and her soul has been tortured by him ever since.
30
31----
32
33* BigGood: Being dead isn't enough to stop her from doing everything she can to interfere with Red's plans for her boyfriend.
34* DeusExMachina: Her intervention and freeing of Acacius.
35* EmotionlessGirl: According to Zachary, whenever she went into her "episodes", she would speak in a monotonous voice and keep a completely straight face.
36* NoFairCheating: When Red tries to stop Zach's heart, she intervenes and grants Zach access to Acacius.
37* 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.
38* WasOnceAMan: 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.

42!!Playable Kaiju
43
44[[folder:Godzilla]]
45!!!'''Godzilla'''
46[[quoteright:144:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ngc_godzilla.png]]
47
48The [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} King of the Monsters]] himself. As the main character of the game, he serves as Zach's most-played monster.
49
50----
51
52* TheAce: Godzilla is Zach's most preferred monster, and it shows when Zach beats the first 2 worlds and Pathos using only Godzilla. This is downplayed in later chapters when the bosses and even the environment ramped up in difficulty, forcing Zach to use his other monsters.
53* BoringButPractical: Godzilla might not have flight like Mothra and he may walk slower than Anguirus's rolling attack, but he has no real weaknesses and plenty of health to take on bosses with. And even though Zach admits Solomon is a better character, he still feels more used to Godzilla's style.
54* EatenAlive: [[spoiler: Godzilla gets eaten by Red during the final battle.]]
55* JackOfAllStats: While he's not the strongest, fastest or toughest monster out there, he still has a good balance.
56* OutOfFocus: Notably subverted for a fanfic with original characters in it. Godzilla gets plenty of screentime in this creepypasta.
57[[/folder]]
58
59[[folder:Mothra]]
60!!!'''Mothra'''
61[[quoteright:110:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flapflapflapvwoowow.png]]
62
63The Queen of the Monsters and ally of Godzilla, Mothra serves as the second playable character in the game. Zachary is not a tremendous fan of her gameplay, however.
64
65----
66
67* 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.]]
68* 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.
69* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Mothra is the first of Zach's monsters to die to Red, and she goes out this way.]]
70* {{Flight}}: 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.
71* OutOfFocus: Subverted. Mothra gets [[spoiler:an entire world to herself thanks to Face]].
72* PutOnABus: She is nowhere to be seen in ''Godzilla: Replay'', having effectively been replaced by Rodan.
73* ScratchDamage: Mothra's attacks left a lot to be desired in the original game, and here they turn her into a liability.
74
75[[/folder]]
76
77[[folder:Anguirus]]
78!!!'''Anguirus'''
79[[quoteright:202:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wouldyoulikeanewmonster.png]]
80
81One 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 fully playable character for some reason...
82
83----
84
85* AdaptationDyeJob: A weird inversion. While the scrapped version of Anguirus in the original was colored green, he's instead colored a more movie-accurate brown here.
86* AscendedExtra: Anguirus was actually an unfinished playable monster that's DummiedOut in the original. Here, he's given a proper moveset unique for himself.
87* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler: He doesn't reappear in Extus after face removed him at Entropy, but returns to the last world Zenith.]]
88* LightningBruiser: Notably faster than Godzilla, especially with his rolling attack. Zach often uses him against enemies that have a focus on speed, [[spoiler: particularly against Not-Gigan]].
89* MightyRoar: Anguirus has a ranged roar attack similar to Godzilla's atomic breath.
90* RollingAttack: His special move. The speed boost helps greatly during a chase with Red.
91* SuperScream: His ranged attack is what appears to be a roar.
92* UnderTheSea: Zach goes for Anguirus whenever there is water involved, particularly in Dementia [[spoiler: when he has to escape from Red underwater and the Red Sea in Zenith.]]
93
94[[/folder]]
95
96[[folder:Solomon]]
97!!!'''Solomon'''
98[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/still_the_best_1973.png]]
99[[caption-width-right:250:STILL THE BEST - 1973]]
100A kaiju never seen in any Toho movie who joins Zach's party. He seems to have some history with Red.
101
102----
103
104* AscendedDemon: [[spoiler:Coming back to life after turning against his master changes his eyes from red to blue, implying his demonic nature, which previously barred him from going to any level marked with a Cross and guarded by the Angel, has been purged.]]
105* BatOutOfHell: Has elements of this, particularly in the wing department.
106* BlueIsHeroic: His fur is midnight blue. [[spoiler:His eyes also change from red to blue after he's brought back to life.]]
107* CatchPhrase: "STILL THE BEST - 1973", which appears [[SigningOffCatchphrase each time he finishes a level or beats a boss]]. It's never explained what this means, and likely never will be explained.
108* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a demon with midnight blue fur and red eyes, but he's one of the playable heroic characters.
109* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Says he’d rather die than serve Red.]]
110* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He committed one against Red before the events of the game, which explains Red's particular hostility towards him.]]
111-->[[spoiler: '''Red''': '''"TRAITOR. I ALWAYS HATED YOU. YOU CAN DIE LIKE THE REST."''']]
112-->[[spoiler: '''Solomon''': '''"I'D RATHER DIE THAN SERVE YOU."''']]
113* MasterOfAll: See PurposelyOverpowered.
114* 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.
115** His origin from the cancelled ''VideoGame/ColossalKaijuCombat'' series states he and Red became rivals because of Red betraying him and turning his allies against him. The canonicity of this origin to the original story, however, is dubious at best.
116* NobleDemon: Despite being a demon, he's ultimately a good guy. At least, good enough to oppose Red.
117* OurDemonsAreDifferent: His design is evocative of a typical demon, resembling a humanoid bat with a quasi-skeletal face. This is in direct contrast to Red, who appears much different than most typical takes on demons.
118* PurposelyOverpowered: He does twice the damage Godzilla does, and he can fly. He proves to be invaluable help in Extus, especially during the Not-Monster BossRush and the battle against Chimera.
119* RedIsHeroic: Mostly falls under BlueIsHeroic, but he has red eyes. [[spoiler:After his resurrection, however, [[BlueIsHeroic they turn blue]]]].
120* UniformityException: The only playable kaiju [[spoiler: (besides Acacius)]] who does not originate from any Toho movie. This makes him stand out among Godzilla, Mothra, and Anguirus.
121[[/folder]]
122
123[[folder:Acacius (UNMARKED SPOILERS)]]
124!!!'''Acacius'''
125[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/betteracacius.png]]
126 [[caption-width-right:150:''The Golden Light'']]
127A mysterious kaiju referred to as "The Golden Light". Melissa grants Zach access to him during his final confrontation with Red.
128
129----
130
131* TheDreaded: 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.
132* EleventhHourRanger: Only appears in the last world. And he can't even be accessed until Red breaks the rules, allowing Melissa to make him available.
133* EnergyWeapon: Combined with eyebeams and he's capable of dealing massive damage.
134* {{Flight}}: He can also levitate in midair.
135* LightIsGood: "The Golden Light".
136* MeaningfulName: A quick search reveals Acacius shares his name with various saints and clergymen.
137* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Though it's never stated outright that he is one.
138* PurposelyOverpowered: Even more so than Solomon. Justified in that he wasn't stronger than Red's final form; he simply made the battle winnable in the first place.
139* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Subverted. While he can fight Red, this doesn't make him particularly powerful next to the rest of the playable kaiju. As such, [[DickDastardlyStopsToCheat Red screwed himself over by blocking off Zach's access to Acacius]], as Zenith prevents Zach's kaiju from healing and wears down his kaiju before the final battle, meaning Red just kept Acacius in his prime at full health for when Melissa made him available.

144[[folder:Red (UNMARKED SPOILERS)]]
145!!!'''Red'''
146[[quoteright:184:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ngc_red.png]]
147[[caption-width-right:184:RUN]]
148
149A 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.
150
151----
152
153* AxCrazy: A completely sentient monster with a sadistic streak the size of Godzilla himself.
154* BewareMyStingerTail: Stabs with his sharp, pointed tail as one of his attacks in his boss fight.
155* BigBad: He's the main antagonist of the original story.
156* BlackEyesOfEvil: Except when they [[GlowingEyesOfDoom light up]].
157* BreathWeapon: During the final battle, Red breathes {{Hellfire}} which does heavy damage and causes Zach incredible pain.
158* DeathGlare: The first tip-off that something is ''seriously'' wrong with the game.
159* 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 and tear down as the world progresses instead of being fresh and ready to go when the DarkestHour rolls around.
160* DidntThinkThisThrough: He's initially adamant about not breaking the rules, but he ends up cementing a stalemate where the only answer is to break them himself, when he takes away Acacius from the board- note that Acacius is only capable of defeating him, but not necessarily powerful enough to do so if injured enough. Without Acacius available for use, Zach technically can't lose, meaning the fight won't end without Acacius under Zach's use.
161* DirtyCoward: 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.
162* EvilIsBigger: He dwarfs GODZILLA in all of his forms. This is taken up to eleven with his final form, where he becomes the biggest monster in the entire game.
163* EvilIsBurningHot: It's heavily associated with flame and heat.
164* EvilIsVisceral: Seems to think so.
165* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice in [=Goji73=]'s reading of the story is a deep, extremely distorted demonic growl.
166* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod is that Red is [[VideoGame/Earthbound1994 Giygas]] as a Kaiju.
167* FinalBoss: In universe and in the game.
168* {{Flight}}: One of his forms enables him to take to the air.
169* 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, causing 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.
170* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Twice. Both times are a huge case of RedEyesTakeWarning.
171* GoodWingsEvilWings: Sports a pair of bat wings in his Flying form, contrasting with Mothra's, well, moth wings.
172* {{Hellfire}}: Implied by the fact that his fire breath has a NightmareFace in it.
173* 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 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.
174* IShallTauntYou: After spending most game being a SilentAntagonist, he becomes quite chatty during the final confrontation. Naturally, his taunts are [[{{Sadist}} quite cruel.]]
175* TheJuggernaut: Spends most of the game being this, until the end when he gets a life bar. [[ThatOneBoss And even then...]]
176* KickTheDog: Engages in this multiple times during the game, but none worse than during the final battle where 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.
177* NearVillainVictory: 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.
178* NiceJobFixingItVillain: 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.]]
179** 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.
180* NightmareFace: His trademark scowl.
181* NoFairCheating: His attempt to cheat and manually stop Zach's heart is what ends up allowing Zachary to use Acacius to defeat him.
182* OneWingedAngel: He assumes a towering giant form after Zach kills him the first time with Solomon.
183* PerpetualFrowner: It's ALWAYS grimacing. Even when he's in an advantageous situation, he never stops frowning. Zach even notes that he could tell that Red clearly felt immense sadistic glee as he brutally murdered Solomon for betraying him and siding with Zach despite his grimace not showing it.
184* PlayingWithFire: In the final battle, he breathes hellfire.
185* RecurringBoss: Appears at the end of each stage to chase the player. [[FinalBoss Except in Zenith.]]
186* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Mostly red though.
187* RedIsViolent: Oh, he ''definitely'' is.
188* {{Sadist}}: Though a literal monster, Red is completely aware of the suffering his actions bring, and he loves every second of it.
189* SatanicArchetype: Essentially what he represents.
190* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: To a limited extent, as while he can modify whole levels and boards, he still has to follow the rules of the game engine.
191* SuddenlySpeaking: While he spends the first four chapters limiting himself to only animalistic roars, Red suddenly speaks up in Chapter 5 after Zach's defeat of the Moon Beast to taunt him with Melissa's death. Red starts to become even more talkative come Chapter 7 and onwards, mostly to taunt Zach even more.
192* 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 se, but it does hamper his effectiveness to a degree.
193* VoiceOfTheLegion: His voice gains this effect in [=Goji73=]'s reading while he's transformed into his final form.
194* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Red can change into a Running form, a Swimming form, and a Flying form as well as a giant OneWingedAngel Final form.
195
196[[/folder]]
197
198[[folder:Face]]
199!!!'''Face'''
200[[quoteright:448:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ngc_face.png]]
201[[caption-width-right:448:Above: Face's default facial expression. Below: The various expressions Face makes throughout the story.]]
202
203An unknown entity resembling a disembodied face that periodically asks Zach increasingly nonsensical questions.
204
205----
206
207* ADogNamedDog: He's a disembodied face, which Zach names, well... "Face". Lampshaded by Zach, pointing out his own lack of creativity.
208* 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.
209* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: The last three questions of Face's first quiz. "Do you like dogs?" "Is the president good?" "Does your dog like the president?"
210* BreadEggsMilkSquick: He'll go from silly or absurd questions to very disturbing and personal ones. His first two questions in the third quiz are "Do you like ice cream?" and "Do you like clowns?" before he starts asking things like "Is it safe to go out at night?" "Have you ever killed anyone?" and "Do some people deserve to die?"
211* CharacterSelectForcing: Forces Zach to use Mothra on Entropy. Justified, though, [[CruelToBeKind since it’s impossible to use any other character]].
212* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: “Does it taste good when you bite a woman?”
213* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: All we can say for certain about him is that he's a face.
214* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Since his final question is "Will you miss me?", it's implied that he knew Red would kill him for giving Zach access to Solomon, and yet he did it anyway to give Zach a fighting chance.]]
215* HiddenHeartOfGold: Face's more disturbing questions are sort of intrusive towards Zach (asking if he's been raped isn't a question people would ask about). But he's ultimately on Zach's side, [[spoiler: even when he takes Godzilla and Anguirus, leaving only Mothra.]]
216* InhumanEmotion: Out of his 23 different expressions, 12 of them seem 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?"
217* NightmareFace: Take a guess. Particularly the case when [[spoiler:Red kills him]].
218* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Starting from Dementia face gives Zach monsters that counter bosses and gimmicks of a specific world. Anguirus is unlocked in Dementia, where his speed enables him to move underwater quickly and stood a better chance at bosses who are notably faster than others. Inverted with Mothra, since some of the levels are impossible with other monsters but Face [[spoiler: removes Godzilla and Anguirus to force Zach to use her.]] At Extus Solomon's strength and variety of abilities allows Zach to complete very difficult levels [[spoiler: and a chance at defeating Chimera.]] [[spoiler: Acacius was given in Zenith to give Zach a shot at killing Red's giant form, but is only usable after the other monsters are killed.]]
219* PluckyComicRelief: Face usually provides most of the humor of the story, but it's averted during Entropy when his questions took a darker tone [[spoiler: and forces Zach to use Mothra at the end]] and Zenith [[spoiler: because Red killed him.]]
220* SacrificialLion: [[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.]]
221* ShooOutTheClowns: [[spoiler:Red kills him on Zenith, making it clear that things will be dead serious.]]
222* 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?"
223* SpannerInTheWorks: Whatever he is, he's proven to be an influential character in the story mainly due to giving Zach new monsters. Red probably didn't give Face a second thought and only focused on Zach until Extus where Face gave Zach Solomon, which made Red realize Face could be a major liability as he [[spoiler: immediately kills him in Zenith, but not before Face gave Zach Acacius which ultimately screwed Red over.]]
224
225[[/folder]]
226
227[[folder:Not-Monsters]]
228!!!'''In General'''
229
230Bizarre 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.
231
232----
233
234* 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.
235* 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.
236
237!!!'''Not-Moguera'''
238[[quoteright:102:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/not_moguera.png]]
239
240A 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.
241
242----
243
244* DegradedBoss: After its defeat in Pathos, it shows up in one Blue Mountains level in Trance as a mini-boss.
245* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: An alien robot drill mermaid from outer space, no less!
246* ThisIsADrill: One of Not-Moguera's primary attacks is to extend its drill-like arm forward to stab the player's monster.
247
248!!!'''Not-Gezora'''
249[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/not_gezora.png]]
250
251An incredibly tall and lanky alien humanoid derived from Gezora, this long-limbed fellow stands out from the other Not-Monsters, in that in the original story, he lacks any special beam weapons.
252
253----
254
255* BadassNormal: While he's given a psychic [[BubbleGun bubble attack]] in the fangame, in the original story Not-Gezora's techniques are entirely physical, relying on his speed and long arms to try to gain the upper hand.
256* MyBrainIsBig: Sports an impressively large brain that seems to be either exposed or tightly armored.
257
258!!!'''Not-Varan'''
259[[quoteright:94:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/not_varan.png]]
260
261A particularly weird-looking member of the Not-Monsters, this quadrupedal monster attacks by shooting missiles from a port on his neck.
262
263----
264
265* ExorcistHead: An animation of Not-Varan by Cosbydaf shows it capable of rotating its backwards head a full 360 degrees around.
266* 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 twisted backwards for most of the battle. Nonetheless, Not-Varan serves as a competent, if rather easy, opponent for Zach.
267* LongNeck: Not-Varan sports a very long ostrich-like neck, and makes is capable of making it even longer to attack.
268* MixAndMatchCritter: Not-Varan appears to have the general body plan of a quadrupedal mammal, yet has a neck and head reminiscent of an ostrich, plus Varan's spikes on its back. And, this is ''before'' we get to the detail of it being able to shoot missiles out of its neck...
269
270!!!'''Not-Hedorah'''
271[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/not_hedorah.png]]
272
273A serpentine monster with a horse skull for a face, Not-Hedorah is the [[KingMook boss of the related Horse-Bats]] seen in the Green Temple Levels.
274
275----
276
277* DemBones: Appears to be completely skeletal.
278* 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 [[NoOntologicalInertia being destroyed simultaneously]].
279* ThatOneBoss: In-universe, Zach describes him as 'one of the most aggravating, difficult replacement monsters' to fight.
280
281!!!'''Not-Baragon'''
282[[quoteright:232:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/not_baragon.png]]
283
284A towering beast even for Kaiju standards, Not-Baragon sports an elephant skull for a face, freezing breath, and an extending gatling gun that appears mounted to its pelvis.
285
286----
287
288* AnIcePerson: Is capable of spewing a sort of ice breath, which it uses to freeze Godzilla solid.
289* ArmlessBiped: Noticeably lacks a set of arms. To make up for this, Not-Baragon has the most powerful kick in the game.
290* EvilIsBigger: The biggest of the Not-Monsters, and one of the biggest of the Anomalies in general. This is to the point where the "ground" is lowered to accommodate for its massive size, and even then is still a few pixels away from touching the GUI.
291* {{Irony}}: As Zach points out, despite the real Baragon being the smallest of the monsters in the original game, Not-Baragon is one of the biggest of the monsters here.
292* MoreDakka: One of its attacks involves extending its gatling gun and firing it, which it uses in conjunction with its ice breath attack to deal massive damage.
293* PhallicWeapon: Not-Baragon sports a very large gatling gun... which it extends directly from its crotch. Doesn't help that [[GroinAttack landing hits on it deals extra damage]].
294* SkullForAHead: An elephant's, to be exact.
295
296!!!'''Not-Gigan'''
297[[quoteright:136:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/not_gigan.png]]
298
299A green, eyeless monster with long claws and a toothy maw, both of which are covered in blood.
300
301----
302
303* BaitAndSwitchBoss: Its boss fight initially starts with absolutely nothing there, only for a piranha suspended in the air to show up. This is quickly followed by Not-Gigan [[JumpScare suddenly leaping out from the side with a loud noise]] and cutting the piranha to bloody pieces, starting the boss fight for real.
304* BloodyMurder: One of its attacks involves shooting a red colored "blood beam" from its mouth.
305* {{Cephalothorax}}: Has no head, instead having its mouth placed directly on its belly.
306* EyelessFace: Appears to have no eyes whatsoever.
307* HellIsThatNoise: The noise it makes when it leaps out from the side is described by Zach as an "ear-splitting shriek".
308* JumpScare: Its sudden appearance caught Zach off guard and scared the hell out of him. He sees this as a good thing in retrospect, since it got his adrenaline pumping.
309* LightningBruiser: Zach describes it as "one of the fastest, most unrelenting opponents in the game", and fighting it made for a challenging and fast-paced battle.
310
311!!!'''[=Not-MechaGodzilla=]'''
312[[quoteright:164:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/not_mechagodzilla.png]]
313
314A quadrupedal mechanical creature with a humanlike face armed with cannons.
315
316----
317
318* BeastWithAHumanFace: Possesses a conspicuously humanoid face. Zach even lampshades that its human face gave it a very uncanny look.
319* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: The laser beam it shoots from its eyes in its [=MechaGodzilla=] form is rainbow-colored.
320* MechanicalAbomination: Appears distinctly robotic in design, but is nonetheless bizarre.
321* MightyGlacier: Described as being stronger than [=MechaGodzilla=] and having the most firepower out of all of the Not-Monsters, but slower and unable to jump as much. Zach uses its worse agility against it by flying over it as Mothra and bombarding it with poison powder while out of its line of sight.
322* TrickBoss: [=Not-MechaGodzilla=] has a couple of tricks up its sleeve before it shows its true form:
323** It starts off the battle taking the form of the real Godzilla until it looses three of its health bars, to which it then transforms into a souped up version of [=MechaGodzilla=].
324** After being taken down to half its health, its [=MechaGodzilla=] form starts to glitch out, causing it to finally change into its true form.
325* WaveMotionGun: One of its attacks involves extending one of these out of its mouth, which it then fires a huge laser beam from.
326
327!!!'''Not-Ghidorah'''
328[[quoteright:128:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ngc_dorat.png]]
329
330A harmless [[Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah Dorat]].
331
332----
333
334* ActuallyPrettyFunny: The sheer anti-climax of its appearance sends Zach into a laughing fit.
335* JokeCharacter: Has no attacks and just flies around harmlessly. It goes down in a pathetic two hits.
336* TrickBoss: Serves no purpose other than to lull Zach into a false sense of security before the sudden introduction of Chimera.
337
338!!!'''Chimera'''
339[[quoteright:344:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ngc_chimera.png]]
340
341A hybrid of all the previous Not-Monsters, with a demonic samurai's head presumably in control of the whole body. Serves as the final challenge of the Not-Monster BossRush, and the final boss of Extus.
342
343----
344
345* BellyMouth: Not-Baragon's face is fashioned into its torso, which also serves as a second face for the beast.
346* CognizantLimbs: Downplayed. While each part of Chimera has its own health bar, they cannot be damaged independently.
347* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each part of its health bar is colored to match each segment, making it easier to track how much damage has been done to each part.
348* DamageSpongeBoss: The first of the Anomalies to break the health bar limit. It sports 5 health bars for each part, making for a grand total of 40 health bars.
349* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Its head inexplicably resembles that of a demonic samurai.
350* FusionDance: Chimera is the result of all the defeated Not-Monsters fusing together into one giant boss.
351* KatanasAreJustBetter: Going along with its samurai theming, Chimera wields a wakizashi.
352* MeaningfulName: Is named after the Chimera of Greek mythology, which is a beast composed of several distinct parts from several different animals.
353* PowerFloats: Chimera's severed head is capable of floating around when all of its other body parts are destroyed, presumably so that it can still try to attack.
354* SawBladesOfDeath: Not-Moguera is fashioned into one on its right arm, which Chimera can extend with a chain link.
355* ShowsDamage: Chimera looses segments of its body when the corresponding part of the health bar of that segment is depleted. By the final stage of the fight, all the remains of it is its head.
356* SlasherSmile: Its samurai head sports an unchanging maniacal grin.
357* ThatOneBoss: In-universe, Zach notes that if it wasn't for the game's timer and [[SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity the heart temple]], he probably would never have beaten it.
358* ThinChinOfSin: Both of its heads sport pronounced chins, and is very much an enemy of the playable monsters.
359
360[[/folder]]
361
362[[folder:Moon Beast]]
363[[quoteright:434:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ngc_moonbeast.png]]
364
365A grotesque and positively gargantuan aquatic creature born from a false moon. It serves as a mini-boss in the Winter Forest level.
366
367----
368* AllThereInTheManual: [[https://www.deviantart.com/cosbydaf/art/Moon-Beast-full-body-896609956 This drawing of the Moon Beast]], which [=CosbyDaf=] uploaded to his [=DeviantArt=] in 2021, shows off what the Moon Beast looks like in full.
369* 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 is likely a holdover from when it was still human-shaped.
370* EvilIsBigger: This thing is very, VERY large, to the point where it takes up a considerable portion of the screen even while being partially submerged for the whole battle.
371* ExtraEyes: The Moon Beast sports six eyes on the left side of its head alone.
372* MixAndMatchCreature: It resembles a hybrid of many different (mostly aquatic) creatures, sporting a Mosasaurus-like head with what seems to be an imitation of a human face on top, a hairy mane of some kind, long limbs similar to that of a crustacean's, and a finned tail.
373* OurMonstersAreWeird: It hatches from a floating moon-shaped stone egg in the sky as a curled up grey humanoid, which falls into the water below and transforms into this aquatic nightmare shortly after. Uh...
374* RuleOfSymbolism: Its jarring appearance after a calmer segment in the Winter Forest level could represent Melissa's sudden death after a peaceful night of watching the stars with Zach. The fact that the top of its head resembles a human face and its eyes being in sort of a blank stare seems to support this.
375* SpikesOfVillainy: Its back is lined with numerous spikes, with some lining its tail as well.
376* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Its eyes are colored with an orange-yellow gradient, befitting its otherworldly nature.
377* ThatsNoMoon: The "moon" in the sky of the Winter Forest is actually just a stone egg that the Moon Beast hatches from.
378* ThatOneBoss: In-universe, Zach describes it as the most difficult fight up to that point. Due to being forced to play as Mothra at the time, even with her [[BalanceBuff Balance Buffs]] in mind, Zach saw it as almost impossible.

397!Debuting in ''Godzilla: Replay''
398
399!!Main characters
400
401[[folder:Carl]]
402!!!'''Carl'''
403The 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.
404
405----
406
407* 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.
408* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Unlike Zach, Carl is much more casual in regards to the game, more explorative, and knows far less about the Godzilla mythos.
409
410[[/folder]]
411
412!!Playable Kaiju
413
414[[folder:Rodan]]
415!!!'''Rodan'''
416
417The 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.
418
419----
420
421* 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.
422* BreathWeapon: Rodan has the ability to shoot a flammable mist from his mouth, based on his largely forgotten smoke breath from ''Film/{{Rodan}}''.
423* 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.
424
425[[/folder]]
426
427[[folder:King Caesar]]
428!!!'''King Caesar'''
429
430The 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.
431
432----
433
434* GuestStarPartyMember: His only appearance is in Chapter 5 before [[spoiler:it's revealed he's actually Warlock in disguise]]
435
436[[/folder]]
437
438!!Anomalies
439
440[[folder:Warlock]]
441!!!'''Warlock'''
442
443A 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.
444
445----
446
447* 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]].
448* 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]].
449* BigBad: Certainly shaping up to be one.
450* BodyHorror: WordOfGod calls him a 'Malformed Despot' on his official sprite sheet.
451* 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.
452* 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]].
453* EldritchAbomination: Just him showing up changes everything to the same color as him.
454* EvilSoundsDeep: According to WordOfGod.
455* GetOut: Repeatedly tells Carl to "leave" i.e. stop playing the game.
456* {{Kaiju}}: Of course.
457* MeaningfulName: A warlock is the male equivalent to a witch, and Warlock certainly seems to use some kind of magic.
458* NightmareFace: Like Red, his is always grimacing. It also keeps the tribal theme, heavily resembling an Easter Island face.
459* NonStandardCharacterDesign: A {{Kaiju}} with an Easter Island-style head, musclebound arms, long stringy black hair and no legs? Certainly an odd design.
460* 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.
461* PerpetualFrowner: His standard expression is a furious scowl.
462* RealityWarper: The color palette changes when he shows up to shades of dull grey.
463* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler: At one point he shifts into King Caesar to prevent Carl from getting to the boss of the level.]]
464
465[[/folder]]
466
467[[folder:Usol]]
468!!!'''Usol'''
469
470A 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.
471
472----
473
474* CuteOwl: His round head, front-facing eyes and flat face, plus his general avian body scheme invokes an owl.
475* {{Kaiju}}: Make no mistake; he may be noticeably smaller than Godzilla and Rodan, but he still dwarfs humans in size.
476* 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.
477* 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?
478[[/folder]]
479
480[[folder:The Sin monsters]]
481A group of monsters that serve as the "leaders" of the Replay worlds. Fittingly, they each represent one of the seven deadly sins.
482* BossOnlyLevel: The Sin levels only feature the boss fights.
483* SevenDeadlySins: Each of the bosses are based off of them.
484
485!!!Lethar
486The leader of Gelid. He's a large, blue, cycloptic gorilla creature.
487* FreezeRay: If the player is too far from Lethar, he shoots an ice beam from his eye that freezes them in place.
488* MeaningfulName: His name is similar to lethargy, fitting his theme of sloth.
489* MightyGlacier: Has very poor movement powers, but he's so strong that even Godzilla's heat beam does paltry damage to him. At least, until he grabs him and levels their faces...
490* SevenDeadlySins: Is based off of the sin of [[RidiculousProcrastinator sloth]], emphasized by the icy themes of Gelid.
491* SuperStrength: He's strong enough to lift the 20,000 ton Godzilla with a single arm.
492
493!!!Exalton
494The leader of Corona. He's a winged purple humanoid with a single large horn on his head.
495* AwesomeButImpractical: He's got a very spammable lightning attack, and can even recharge his power once the meter runs to nothing. Problem is, that's all he can really do. When he does run out of power, he can only fly away and recharge himself, which gives a huge opening for the player to attack him.
496* LightningBruiser: Carl says that he's much more mobile than Lethar was.
497* MeaningfulName: His name is similar to exalted, fitting his theme of Pride.
498* PurpleIsPowerful: All of Corona has purple to it, but Exalton is entirely purple and leads the world.
499* SevenDeadlySins: Is based off of the sin of {{pride}}, evidenced by the platforms in his arena having his face on them.
500
501!!!Odia
502The leader of Amorphis. He's an aquatic green quadruped with the ability to shapeshift.
503* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of his attacks has him push his opponent into a spiky wall. This gives Carl the idea to do the same to him, which kills him.
504* MeaningfulName: His name is similar to odious, fitting his theme of Envy.
505* MirrorBoss: He can transform into the opponent (Or at least Godzilla), which he utilizes in alternation to his normal form.
506* SevenDeadlySins: Is based off of the sin of [[GreenEyedMonster envy]], indicated by his green color and ability to shapeshift into his opponents.
507
508!!!Salaac
509The leader of Tempest. She's a blue pterodactyl-like monster with a long pink tongue.
510* FlunkyBoss: She sometimes flies away to summon her own children to attack.
511* MeaningfulName: Her name is similar to salacious, fitting her theme of Lust.
512* MultiPurposeTongue: Her tongue can latch onto her foes to drain their health.
513* SevenDeadlySins: Is based off of the sin of lust, and shows the part, attacking her foes with a draining [[LecherousLicking tongue attack]] and summoning what appears to be her own offspring.
514* TheSmurfettePrinciple: So far, the only female Sin monster in the game.
515* WindFromBeneathMyWings: She's able to fire off gusts of wind by flapping her wings.
516
517!!!Avidus
518The leader of Alkali. His appearance has yet to be seen.
519* MeaningfulName: His name is similar to avarice, fitting his theme of Greed.
520* SevenDeadlySins: Is based off of the sin of {{greed}}, having turned Alkali into an industrialized CrapsackWorld by corrupting the populace with greed.
521* TyrannicalTownTycoon: He's turned the entirety of Alkali into his own wage-ridden hellhole, where citizens are divided into wealth groups and given lives better or worse based off of it, and having anyone overworked to death [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies turned into meat packs that are sold as health powerups]].
