If a fighter jet can kill it, anyone who could cast meteor swarm could.  Assuming 1/4 ton TNT equivalent for a missile (those air-to-surface missiles seem to be 100+ lb explosives, but they're probably better than TNT), that's about 1/4000 of the energy of a Kiloton spell. 1/4096 the energy is 1/64 x 1/64, thus the damage should be 1/4 (1/2 x 1/2) = 10d6 fire and 15d6 bludgeoning. So a total of 25d6 damage, comparable to meteor swarm. The American Godzilla was seriously damaged before 2 missiles took it down, though; maybe a total of 500 HP or less, which with a Con of 29 (that of a tyrannosaurus (Con 21) increased to Colossal size) would put it at 36 HD (36d8+324, or 486 hp). US Godzilla is right on the Colossal-Titanic border. Tohokingdom.com gives 500 tons as its weight, which is right for a quadrupled-in-size (2 size category increases, x64 weight) T.rex - a 6-8 ton tyrannosaur , x 64 = 384-512 tons. On screen it looks Titanic... but tails aren't supposed to be included, and Colossal tops out at 128 feet. I could see snout-to-hips length being about that. So it's a borderline-Titanic creature with an ordinary Colossal mass, so I'd make it Colossal. But building US Godzilla is the topic of another thread...Sperm Whales aren't plankton-eaters, they're carnivores; they eat big squid (including Giant and Colossal Squid).In the MM, a Killer Whale is CR5, Brown and Polar Bears and Tigers are all CR4. Tyrannosaurus is CR8, so I'd say that (going by the official animal stats) CR10 ought to be the absolute max for any natural our-Earth creature. So CR15-20 for the weakest kaiju types (Kamakiras, Rhedosaur from the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Wimpy American Godzilla, etc.), CR21-35 for middling-low kaiju (Spiega/Kumonga, Angurus/Angilas, Clover), CR36-50 for average kaiju (Ebirah, Rodan, most incarnations of Mothra, Battra, Megalon, Gigan, Toho King Kong), and CR51+ for the top guys (more powerful Mechagodzillas, Godzilla, Ghidorah in his various forms, the most powerful versions of Mothra) seems quite reasonable. Clover's tougher than the American Godzilla- but he'd not last 10 seconds against Real Godzilla. Clover's just a big tough animal, and not particularly strong for its size.  Awesome!</blockquote>
