Godzilla/1954

This monster starred in the 1954 film "Godzilla" and is a major player in starting the franchise itself with a grim appearance.

History
The original idea came from the famous Tomoyuki Tanaka, directed by Ishiro Honda, and revised by Shigeru Kayama to create the movie. The 1954 film was set to represent the grim and destruction of an atomic bomb and, as sources say, they point to the American bombing of Nakijama and Hiroshima as why to Ishiro Honda made the creature in the first place, but also the Lucky Dragon No. 5 incident and the firebombing of Tokyo too.

Design
This suit featured a heavy lower body, small arms and a large, round head. The face had eye-catching brows while the eyes were completely round with tiny pupils, a feature unique to the Tokusatsu business. The suit also included several features like fangs, four toes, a rough underside for the tail and pointed tail tip, and staggered rows of dorsal plates. During filming, a separate pair of Godzilla legs were used for close-up shots of Godzilla’s feet. The monster suit was made out of basic materials like heavy urethane and bamboo which was weighty and inflexible. Since the suit had several faults it caused a great difficulty with the suit actors, Haruo Nakajima and Katsumi Tezuka.

Personality
Aggressive normally towards humans, it tends to destroy everything with malice and is said to represent an incarnation of an atomic bomb. The natives worshiped their "God" and it usually left them alone as they also left it alone undisturbed.

Origins
The natives of Odo Island worshiped a God called, "Gojira" and was the result of the bombing that awoke the horrific kaiju that destroyed Tokyo.

Atomic Breath
Godzilla can exhale a powerful radioactive Atomic Breath which looks like a type of white smoke/vapor that is hot enough to melt metal and cause a burning effect on certain materials.

Durability
Godzilla showed almost complete immunity to the JSDF attempts to neutralize the creature and is mostly unfazed by it.

Amphibiousness
Godzilla is capable of swimming and fighting underwater for long periods of time and even his Atomic Breath is capable of working at full capacity underwater. In the film it states that he survived for millions of years living inside a deep underwater cavern.

Oxygen Destroyer
Godzilla was eventually killed by the Oxygen Destroyer, a weapon that contained a chemical compound designed to remove all oxygen from water when put into contact with it, causing living creatures to die of asphyxiation as their remains are liquefied by the now-highly corrosive surrounding water. The Oxygen Destroyer was a weapon of mass destruction that even Godzilla himself could not withstand.
