Godzilla How Many Titans Are Really In The MonsterVerse

Monarch confirmed 17 Titans existed on Earth in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but that number doesn’t seem to add up, based on other information provided in the movie – so that means there could really be more Titans in the MonsterVerse. The fact is, there are actually more than 17 Titans mentioned in King of the Monsters itself.

The action in King of the Monsters revolves around four giant monsters – Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra – all of which are Toho properties adapted for the MonsterVerse. At the beginning of the movie, Mothra and Ghidorah are woken up by the humans, with the latter proceeded to wake up all the known Titans at once. What follows is a dramatic two-on-two showdown with Godzilla facing off against Ghidorah in an epic rematch and Mothra battling it out with Ghidorah’s minion, Rodan. In the end, Ghidorah and Mothra are killed, and only Godzilla and Rodan are left standing, with original MonsterVerse Titans Scylla, a third M.U.T.O., Behemoth, and Methuselah showing up in the aftermath of the fight.

These aren’t the only Titans in the MonsterVerse, though. In King of the Monsters, Dr. Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) tells Mark (Kyle Chandler) that Monarch has so far discovered 17 Titans. But names on Monarch’s monitor screens point to the existence of 20 Titans, rather than 17. Aside from Kong and all the Titans who made on-screen appearances, there are 11 more confirmed Titans: Abaddon, Baphomet, Tiamat, Leviathan, Yamata no Orochi, Sekhmet, Mokele-Mkembe, Typhon, Quetzalcoatl, Amhuluk, and Bunyip.

So why is the number “17” used in the movie to describe the number of Titans? First of all, this number, which is often cited by fans, seems to be a misconception. Dr. Serizawa’s exact quote is “17 and counting, after Gojira”, but only “17” was heard in King of the Monsters’ trailer. Fans are counting Godzilla, but the full line suggests Dr. Serizawa isn’t talking about Godzilla when he provides this number to Mark. That would boost the number to 18, but what about the other two? It’s possible that Dr. Serizawa doesn’t count the third M.U.T.O. as a Titan. This could be the case, since all the other monsters have “Titanus” in their genus names. M.U.T.O.s may be giant monsters, but that doesn’t mean they’re Titans. Something in their biology may differentiate them from Godzilla, Kong, and the others.

As for the last monster that wasn’t counted by Dr. Serizawa, this could be King Ghidorah. This conversation happens before Mark finds out about Ghidorah, and judging by their hesitation to tell Mark about the creature in a later scene, it could be that Dr. Serizawa deliberately avoided mentioning him. It may have been Monarch’s intention to keep Ghidorah a secret from everyone. So it appears that Monarch actually has knowledge of 20 giant monsters in the MonsterVerse. King of the Monsters is confusing about the MonsterVerse’s number of Titans, but it may not matter for much longer. Godzilla vs. Kong may add to the total by introducing new Titans when it explores Hollow Earth. The credits of Godzilla: King of the Monsters already seemingly teased the existence of a mysterious, hidden Titan, and more may follow.
