The Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira?) of the Monster Planet continuity is the second Godzilla within the Toho reboot series of films.
Name
The name "Godzilla" is a transliteration of Gojira (ゴジラ?), a combination of two Japanese words: gorira (ゴリラ?), meaning gorilla, and kujira (鯨 or クジラ), meaning whale.
Appearance
Godzilla's appearance within Monster Planet is very much akin to that of the 2014 Godzilla incarnation, bar a few differences, including differences in its dorsal plate design, and musculature. It was recently confirmed that this Godzilla will exceed the already enormous size of the Godzilla from the Shin Godzilla continuity family.[1]

History
Before the events of Monster Planet, giant monsters emerged and began roaming the Earth, fighting each other and mankind. Godzilla was king among the beasts, with the remains of humanity leaving Earth after a half century of conflict in the year 2048, hoping to find a new homeworld in the form of Tau Ceti e, which resides in the Cetus constellation.
They set out on a vessel known as the "Aratrum", and after a 20-year journey, find the fruits of their labor to be in vain, as planetary conditions are unsuitable for life. Upon making a risky return flight back to Earth, the crew finds that 20,000 years have elapsed, and a new ecosystem has formed, with Godzilla remaining king on top of it.[2]
