Shin godzilla

Shin Godzilla (シン・ゴジラ Shin Gojira) is a kaiju that appeared in the 2016 Godzilla film, Shin Godzilla. It is the eleventh onscreen incarnation of the character.

This was the tallest incarnation of Godzilla in film as of the release of Shin Godzilla, but was surpassed by the Godzilla from the GODZILLA anime trilogy. Shin Godzilla is unique among most other Godzilla incarnations in that he is a completely new species spawned by nuclear waste dumping, rather than an ancient creature roused by nuclear testing. Shin Godzilla was mutated by feeding on nuclear waste dumped into Tokyo Bay in the 1950's, which gave it the unusual ability to mutate its own DNA and rapidly evolve itself to adapt to new situations. Shin Godzilla remained underwater until 2016, when it suddenly developed legs and came ashore in Tokyo, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Godzilla evolved once again into a third form before returning to the ocean. It later returned in a larger fourth form, which annihilated a large portion of Tokyo with atomic rays generated by its body before entering a state of hibernation. Anticipating a nuclear strike against Tokyo by the U.S. to destroy Godzilla before he reawakened, a ragtag team of Japanese bureaucrats and volunteers enacted a complex plan codenamed Operation Yashiori, which succeeded in disabling Godzilla's blood cooling system and freezing him solid. While Godzilla was halted for the time being, the American government warned that the nuclear strike would commence once he began moving again. Godzilla's first form is unseen in the film, aside from its tail and part of its back. The tail is reddish in color, while its back is covered in tan dorsal fins.

Godzilla 2nd form CG model Godzilla's second form, which is a dim yellow-green or light brown, and officially described as having the head of an eel shark, is unlike any other version of Godzilla in that he leans almost completely forward, and his shoulder height is less than one fourth of his length. This form in addition has undeveloped stumps for arms (his forearms being extremely small and completely attached to his upper arms), huge googly-eyes, very visible red gills that hang from his neck, a gaping open mouth, tan dorsal plates, a long tail, and comparatively large hind legs which manage to support him.

The third form stands upright, is a dull dark red or brown color, and is almost twice as tall as the previous form. It has almost-white dorsal plates, and blood-red coloration running down its back under the plates from the heat it generates. Additionally, it now possesses small forearms and its legs are more stretched out as a result of standing upright.

Godzilla 4th form master CG model The fourth form bears much more resemblance to past Godzilla designs than the previous forms, though it does bear some differences. The fourth form is reminiscent of the original 1954 Godzilla design, with a rounded head with small beady eyes and black, scarred and bumpy skin. This form's dorsal plates are black in color and much larger than the previous form, and also possess red scales on them reminiscent of keloid scars. Godzilla's mouth is full of crooked and incredibly large teeth, some of which are growing from the flesh outside of his mouth. When Godzilla fires his atomic breath, his upper jaw unhinges from his lower jaw, which splits open. The eyes are small compared to the previous forms, and appear sunken into their sockets, with no eyelids surrounding them. In place of eyelids, this form has silvery nictitating membranes, called anti-flash defensive membranes, that cover its eyes and protect them from harm. The arms are more developed than in previous forms, but are still very small and do not extend far beyond Godzilla's chest, which bears a prominent, axe-shaped pointed sternum. The legs are larger and more muscular, while Godzilla's feet bear numerous small vestigial toe claws growing from their tops and sides in addition to five main digits. Godzilla's flesh is covered in reddish scars and lesions that sometimes emit a reddish glow, which changes to purple when Godzilla charges his atomic breath. Godzilla's tail is very long, and has small spike-like dorsal plates running along its length. The tip of Godzilla's tail is red and bloody and covered in twisted mangled bones, which form a skeletal spare head (予備頭部 Yobi tobu) at the end.[1
