Shimo (Godzilla: Monsterverse)

Appearance Shimo is a reptilian monster with some similarities to Godzilla's evolved form. A Anthropomorphic creature with white scales that have an iridescent sheen, she possesses Stegosaurus-like thagomizers in the shape of a trident on the tip of her tail and crystalline spines down her back. The spines cover her entire back and thin into a line of spines going down the length of her tail. Shimo is also adorned with many crystals arranged in a crown-like formation protruding at a horizontal angle from the back of her head. A continuous row of sharp scutes located on her sides run from where the back of her head connects to her neck to the thagomizers on her tail. Her protrusions when not charged up with energy are mostly ice blue, but they also appear indigo and amethyst purple. Whenever she utilizes her ice blast, Shimo's protrusions glow light blue. Despite her large size, Shimo's abdomen and legs are very slim. Her eyes appear to be blue with black pupils, though her pupils are obscured when she glows bright blue. Shimo usually is assuming a bear-like stance, She has large breasts and and a big butt Height 375 feet

Personality Under the Skar King's control, Shimo was ruthless and aggressive, violently causing widespread destruction and attacking others on command. However, she did so against her will, even initially refusing to fire her beam at Kong during their first encounter. She hesitated again when he directed her to freeze Malenka's largest electromagnetic pyramids in place, but otherwise followed his commands quickly to avoid or minimize the pain he inflicted on her. After being liberated from the Skar King's influence, she looked to Godzilla for advice before deciding to freeze her former master as Kong held him aloft. She stared up in awe as Godzilla dispelled the clouds she had summoned with a blast of his atomic breath following their fight. Afterwards, she was friendly towards Kong and Suko, allowing them to ride on her back and showing affection as Kong petted her head. Shimo did not hesitate to join her liberators as they and their tribe partook in a victory cry celebrating the end of the Skar King.

Origins According to the Iwi, Shimo was responsible for causing the Last Ice Age. In Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted, Kong came upon an ancient cave painting depicting her in battle with Godzilla. She was captured by the Skar King at some point in the past, and he controlled her using a blue crystal attached to his Whipslash that would cause her pain unless she did his bidding.

History Following a battle between the Skar King and Kong in a Hollow Earth cavern, the older ape revealed an icy crystal at the end of his Whipslash. At the sight of this, several of Skar King's Great Apes began to heave vines, dropping two massive boulders over a river of lava on one side of the Skar King's prison, revealing a large cave behind the lavafall. The Skar King pointed the crystal at Kong again, and Shimo emerged from the freshly revealed cave, roaring as almost every ape in the vicinity fled. Kong stared at her and prepared for a fight, and Skar King waved the crystal at her again. Shimo roared in pain and slammed her head against the ground, before she finally took aim at Kong, firing her ice breath at him. Kong dodged her initial blast, and blocked the second with his axe. However, ice slowly encased his arm, forcing the ape to drop the weapon and escape. The Skar King repeatedly jabbed the crystal at the bio-electric fliers, forcing Shimo to freeze them all. In the midst of the chaos, Kong and Godzilla arrived from Egypt, crashing down into Hollow Earth like a meteor. The two duos rushed at one another right as the ice holding off the pyramids gave way, completely negating the gravity in the area. Shimo crashed into Godzilla in the air, but Godzilla pushed her down and attacked her again as she briefly pursued Kong. Shimo froze Godzilla with her beam, only to cease fire after being stunned by Mothra's God Rays, allowing Godzilla to free himself and tackle Shimo. Soon, the gravity restored itself, and the four warring Titans fell into a portal to the surface. In Rio de Janeiro, waves in the sea turned to ice, then were shattered as the Skar King and Shimo both flew out onto land. After taking a moment to admire the sun, Skar King used the crystal to force Shimo to fire her beam into the sky, creating a large cloud, before having her shoot into the city. Kong and Godzilla then arrived and resumed the battle. The Skar King tried to get Shimo to attack Kong, but she was pushed into a building by Godzilla as the two saurians resumed their duel. When Skar King was knocked to the ground by Kong, the evil ape used the crystal once more, and Shimo's tail smacked Kong across the city. Shimo then fired on Kong with her ice breath, which he blocked with the B.E.A.S.T. Glove. With Shimo and Kong locked in a stalemate, Godzilla broke the Whipslash, detaching the crystal from the end. Godzilla then fired on Shimo with his atomic breath, and tackled her away from Kong, freeing the ape to resume fighting the Skar King. The apes both went berserk, fighting tooth and nail over the crystal. However, before either could get a solid grasp on the crystal, Suko arrived with Kong's axe and shattered it, freeing Shimo from the Skar King's control. While Godzilla and Kong tag-teamed Skar King, Shimo watched intently, prominent curiosity on her face, as the Skar King angrily pointed at her and Kong, trying to make her attack him. Godzilla then cued her to take her revenge, and she froze the Skar King with her beam. Kong grabbed the Skar King's frozen body, staring him in the face before smashing him into pieces upon the ground, finally ending his reign of pain. Some time later, Kong and Suko returned to the Skar King's old prison, triumphantly riding upon Shimo's back. They hopped off of her, and Kong offered her a few head pets, before all three of them roared in victory before Kong's new tribe.

Abilities Frost Bite Blast/Breath Shimo is capable of firing an icy energy beam from her mouth. This ability is referred to as a Frost Bite Blast and Frost Bite Breath on the packaging for Playmates' individual Shimo figure and Godzilla vs. Shimo figure set, respectively. When using the attack, Shimo's eyes, back spikes, and thagomizer glow a bright blue. Shimo is shown using the beam to freeze over Kong's axe and arm, and to cause a massive ice storm by firing it into the sky. During the former, the beam creates large ice chunks upon contact. The beam was powerful enough to give Kong frostbite, completely freeze the Skar King's body in seconds, temporarily freeze Godzilla solid (though he freed himself without injury once Mothra intervened), freeze a portion of the barrier concealing Malenka and allow a hole to be punched through it, and block Malenka's two largest electromagnetic pyramids from producing an antigravity wave upon collision. Ice and temperature manipulation In addition to her Frost Bite Blast's capabilities, Shimo's mere presence is capable of freezing her surroundings, first shown when she froze over the ground in her prison. The forests in the Hollow Earth also froze as she walked through them, and the waters off the coast of Rio de Janeiro froze when she emerged on the surface, acting fast enough to freeze breaking waves solid. After she fully emerged, this power formed an island of ice that stretched over a great distance. According to the Iwi's ancient temple tablets, Shimo's "power" was responsible for triggering the Last Ice Age, but this is not elaborated on. The Godzilla x Kong novelization also states that she iced over Greenland 2.5-3 million years ago in "minutes or hours" using a "radiation burst" that "makes atoms stop in their tracks". Physical abilities According to director Adam Wingard in the "Godzilla Evolved" home video featurette, Shimo is "stronger" than Godzilla and was his primary motivation for evolving. Shimo was shown to be able to utilize her spiked tail in combat when she smacked Kong with it, sending him hurtling through the air and into a building. She also used her limbs and jaws numerous times during her duels with Godzilla, even managing to send him flying hundreds of meters away with one forelimb, briefly taking him out of the fight. Her jaws were strong enough to clamp down on Kong's arm and hold him in place, then throw him into a building. Her back was also able to support being ridden on by the Skar King, and later Kong and Suko. Durability Shimo was able to endure being wrestled about by Godzilla and notably withstood a prolonged, direct blast of his atomic breath to the side of her head without any visible injury.

Weaknesses The Skar King commanded Shimo using a slender blue crystal which would cause her pain if she did not obey his directives. She was able to temporarily resist the crystal's power, shown most prominently when the Skar King first ordered her to fire on Kong, but she was never shown refusing an order entirely until after its destruction. Though she was durable enough to avoid serious injury from any of her foes, Shimo was vulnerable to being stunned by certain attacks from Godzilla and Mothra, both of whom managed to stop her from firing her Frost Bite Blast. Early on during the fight in Rio de Janeiro, Shimo groaned in pain from a particularly powerful blast of Godzilla's atomic breath striking her underside.

Hollow Earth the Hollow Earth is a vast region that sports many kinds of terrain. Godzilla: King of the Monsters reveals that it is a massive subterranean tunnel system that connects all over the planet and can be accessed through vortexes, such as underwater whirlpools. The Hollow Earth contains the ruins of an ancient human civilization that once coexisted with the Titans, with many statues, murals depicting various Titans, and the wreckage of many ancient ships. The entrance to Godzilla's lair has a large archway with a river of lava flowing out. The interior contains the same architecture, rivers of lava flowing from the ceiling and walls, and a large altar on which the large Titan sleeps. In Godzilla Dominion, it is shown that Godzilla had an older lair located in the Hollow Earth that he was driven out of by a member of Kong's species known only as "the rival." The underwater tunnel system that connected to this old lair leads to a main entrance that has water geysers coming from the ceiling. After Godzilla goes further into a cave with lava coming from the ceiling, a statue of Godzilla, and drawings of Godzilla on the walls, the Titan arrives in a pocket that contains ruins of the same architecture seen from his now destroyed previous lair. In Kingdom Kong, Camazotz had lived in a dark cavern located within the Hollow Earth directly beneath Skull Island. In Godzilla vs. Kong, it was revealed that there was an even deeper part that is the main Hollow Earth, which can only be accessed by swirling blue space-time distortions[1] known as a Vile Vortex.[2] These vortexes then lead to a realm with terrain on both the ground and the ceiling, and a middle area with glowing blue stones floating in a low gravity zone. The ground of the Hollow Earth glows the same blue the floating rocks emit. The Hollow Earth is home to many terrains, one of which is littered with various mountains, volcanoes, forests of all foliage, and waterfalls. Another one of these terrains is a rocky

Monarch Monarch (モナーク Monāku) is a scientific organization. Founded as a joint Japanese-American task force in 1946 by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to investigate the 1943 sinking of the USS Lawton by a giant creature, or Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism (MUTO), Monarch soon expanded into an international organization. In 1954, it was involved in attempts to kill Godzilla and the Shinomura with hydrogen bomb detonations at Bikini Atoll. The organization's next breakthrough came in 1973, when Monarch agents attached to a Landsat expedition discovered the incredible ecosystem of Skull Island and the ancient rivalry between its guardian, Kong, and the marauding Skullcrawlers.
