For some bizarre reason I have held off making kaiju for a long time. Well, I just didn't feel like doing work or much of anything else so I thought I would give it go with an expanded version of the mythic rules. Therefore, I give you the King of the Monsters: Godzilla (Mythic-10*, CR 30)

*By "Mythic-10" I mean it has 10 uses of its mythic trait before it truly hits 0 HP.

Adamantine Weapons. Godzilla's weapon attacks are considered adamantine and magical for overcoming resistances and immunities.

Brutal. Godzilla's melee attacks deal an extra 140 damage of the attacks type on a hit (included in the attack).

Colossal. Godzilla is 350 feet tall and its space is 175 feet by 175 feet. Any creature without the Colossal trait can enter its space and must do so to hit it with an attack with a reach or range of 20 feet or less. Additionally, Godzilla has advantage on checks and saving throws to be pushed, pulled, or grappled by creature's without the Colossal trait.

Damage Threshold. Godzilla is immune to all damage unless the attack or effect inflicts more than 15 hit points of damage, in which case it takes damage as normal.

Giant Monster. When Godzilla moves, its space and the ground within 50 feet of it is violently rent. The area becomes difficult terrain and any Huge or smaller creature in the area must make a DC 27 Dexterity check or be knocked prone and loose Concentration. Structures in this area take 150 bludgeoning damage.

Immutable Form. Godzilla is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

Kaiju (Mythic Trait, 10 per Rest). If Godzilla is reduced to 0 hit points, its current hit point total becomes 717, all conditions and effects it is suffering end for it, it recharges all of its abilities, and it can use its Mythic actions. Award a party an additional 155,000 XP each time Godzilla uses its Kaiju mythic trait (1,705,000 XP maximum).

Siege Monster. Godzilla deals double damage to objects, structures, and creatures of Huge size and larger.

ACTIONS
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 40 ft., one target that has the Colossal trait. Hit: 342 (35d10 + 150) piercing damage. Each creature within a 20-foot radius of the target must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage as the target.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 75 ft., one target that has the Colossal trait.* Hit: 272 (35d6 + 150) slashing damage and the target must make a DC 27 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 200 feet, knocked prone, or grappled, Godzilla's choice. Each creature within a 20-foot radius of the target must make a DC 36 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage as the target.

*Godzilla can also use this attack against creatures on its body.

Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 75 ft., one prone or incapacitated target. Hit: 307 (35d8 + 150) bludgeoning damage and fall prone. Until the colossus uses its Stomp again or moves, the target is restrained. While restrained in this way, the creature (or another creature within 5 feet of it) can use its action to make a DC 36 Strength check. On a success, the creature relocates to an unoccupied space of its choice within 5 feet of the colossus and is no longer restrained. Each creature within a 30-foot radius of the target must make a DC 36 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage, knocked prone, and restrained as the target.

Tail Attack. Godzilla can make one of the following attacks.
  • Tail Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 400 ft., one target with the Colossal trait. Hit: 307 (35d8 + 150) bludgeoning damage and the target must make a DC 27 Constitution saving throw or be stunned for 1 minute. The target can make a saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the condition on itself on a success.
  • Tail Sweep. Godzilla sweeps its tail in a 400-foot arc. Each creature in the area must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw, taking 307 (35d8 + 150) bludgeoning damage and knocked prone on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Godzilla needs a full round to prepare this attack, taking no other actions before it use its Tail Sweep.
Breath Weapons. Godzilla can use one of the following breath weapons. Godzilla must charge its breath weapons for two full rounds, taking no other actions before it can use its breath weapons. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by Godzilla's breath weapons is disintegrated and dies. Additionally, targets that fail their saving throw by 10 or more (DC 17) take maximum damage from these attacks.
  • Radioactive Beam. Godzilla exhales a super-heated beam in a 5,000-foot line that is 30 feet wide. The first creature in the line must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw, taking 315 (30d20) fire damage plus 315 (30d20) force damage plus 315 (30d20) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If a target is disintegrated by this attack, the beam continues to the next target in the line.
  • Radioactive Breath. Godzilla exhales super-heated flames in a 3,000-foot cone. Each creature in area must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw, 157 (15d20) fire damage plus 157 (15d20) force damage plus 157 (15d20) necrotic damage on a failed save and be incapacitated until the end of its next turn on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
LEGENDARY ACTIONS
Godzilla can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Godzilla can use any unspent legendary actions at the end of each round and it regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Unstoppable. Godzilla removes one condition or effect it is suffering. It can do so if it has at least 1 hit point, even while unconscious or incapacitated.
Claw (Costs 2 Actions). Godzilla makes a Claw attack.
Regenerate (Costs 3 Actions). Godzilla regains 100 hit points.

MYTHIC ACTIONS
If Godzilla's mythic trait is active, it can use the options below as legendary actions for 1 hour after using Kaiju.

Bite (Costs 2 Actions). Godzilla makes a Bite attack.
Pulse (Costs 3 Actions, Recharge 1/Rest). After Godzilla's fourth use of its Kaiju mythic trait, it can create a wave of kinetic energy in a 1,000-foot radius centered on it. Each creature in the wave must make a DC 27 Strength saving throw or pushed to the edge of the wave and knocked prone.

The main thing I disagree with is immunity to psychic damage. He's been psychically dominated in the past, and he's faced enemies who have had psychic attacks and have harmed him. His DR 15 and Psychic Resistance should prevent most low-level psychic attacks from most humanoids harm him.

It should only take 1 round to charge his breath, it's not that long of a charge-up, just noticeable. Just enough to seek cover or know you're F'ed.

Also, I think the Kiaju mythic trait should be more than plenty at 3 uses.

You are correct that Godzilla does have some psychic susceptibility, though I can't think of it actually being harmed (like taking damage). I should probably remove that, I just don't like the idea of Godzilla being psyched to death. So I personally would allow charms & dominates, but not psychic damage. That is why I gave it psychic immunity. I think I have talked myself back into keeping it.

Can you give me an examples where Godzilla was harmed by psychic "attacks." I can't think of any.

PS I am just talking about movies - I don't consider anything else "official."

It is a damage thing. I wanted the damage to be 3 rounds worth. To do so, it needs to charge for 2 rounds to maintain the DPR.

Says who? I based it on Godzilla being roughly 10x the size of the MM Tarrasque. So roughly 10x the HP. I then rounded up to 10 mythic stages because GODZILLA!

x10 is a slog. Even in the Godzilla movies, he usually only fights 3 times - "defeated" twice to come back at the last second to turn the fight into a draw (i.e, the mythic recharge kicking in), and then a win on the 3rd (or in the '54, he gets Oxygen destroyed, and in Destroyah, he melts down). In essence, it makes the 3rd fight the nail-biter. Of course, you could also have it that if he's defeated the 3rd time, he goes nuclear, which alludes to Destroyah & King of Monsters!

As for psychic, in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (2002), the main plot deals with them attempting to fry his brain (as best I remember). I think in other instances, I may have been thinking of Gamera's enemies.

And you need to make Mothra! (And King Kong ;) )
