Even in the final battle against Ghidorah, he simply stands by and watches from the sidelines. In Destroy All Monsters he’s one of the denizens of Monster Island that the invading aliens mind-control into attacking earthly cities. However, he really only appears in cameos in the Godzilla films. Varan is sort of a cool design, I suppose-he’s like a big iguana with fangs and webbed limbs that allow him to glide. Varan Appearances: Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla: Final Wars (stock footage) Of the new monsters debuting in 2019’s KOTM, he has the least unique design, so we’ll need to see more of him if his stock is going to rise.ģ2. We never even get a very clear shot of what he looks like, beyond being squat, quadrupedal and spiky-Anguirus type characteristics, if you will. Unfortunately, we know next to nothing about him, other than the fact that he erupts up from under a small German town, and is presumably on the ancient side, given his biblical name. Methuselah is one of the few newly appeared “Titans,” as the kaiju have been dubbed, who made his on-screen debut in 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
