[World Tour includes world movies. It’s my theme, I get to make the rules. Unlike a lot of kaiju fans, I don’t hate the monster design from Godzilla (1998). It’s one of the least objectionable things about that movie. Doing this popped into my head one night when I couldn’t sleep, and so I had to exorcise it with a stat block. These statistics are built around the chassis of Pathfinder’s giganotosaurus. My aim was to place this in a similar power level as the Ultraman monsters I’ve been doing, and at the lower level of that spectrum.]

Zilla
CR 16 N Magical Beast
This creature resembles an oversized dinosaur, bipedal but with long flexible forelimbs. Spines grow along its back, the largest over its shoulders. Its head is massive and blocky with a large lower jaw and prominent chin.

Zillas are oversized mutant reptiles, possessing of a destructive fecundity. Although they closely resemble dinosaurs, they are actually giant lizards, having assumed a dinosaur like form following exposure to mutagenic energies. A zilla is an amphibious carnivore that hunts fish and whales while at sea, and various megafauna when on land. Despite their immense size, they are surprisingly stealthy, able to control their footfalls, body temperature and other physiological markers to render them harder to detect. Of course, a hundred and fifty foot reptile attracts attention, so they tend to hunt in dense forests, canyons, cities, or other terrains that afford them some cover.

Although a single zilla is a destructive menace, they rarely stay single for long. Zillas are parthenogenetic, and when amply fed can lay more than a hundred eggs at a time. They provision these with food and watch over their young for the first several months of their lives. These young are ravenous, and often resort to cannibalism if they cannot get ample food from other sources. A baby zilla balloons to full size in a matter of three to five years. Treat a baby zilla as a deinonychus with the magical beast type, the amphibious and subtle presence special qualities and a swim speed equal to its land speed. A baby zilla is a CR 4 creature.

Variant Zillas
Because of their origins in mutation, many zillas have slightly different abilities. For example, a zilla might lose its roar and swallow whole special attacks in favor of a breath weapon (1d4 rounds, 16d8 fire, 140 foot line, Ref DC 27), or have smaller claws (dealing 1d6 base damage) and a tail slap as a secondary attack (dealing 2d8 base damage).

Special Abilities
Evasive Action (Su) Once per round as an immediate action, a zilla can make an Acrobatics check and treat the result as its Armor Class against a single attack. It may use this against touch attacks as well. A zilla cannot use this ability while entangled or flat-footed.
Roar (Ex) As a standard action once per minute, a zilla can roar so powerfully that all creatures in a 60 foot radius must succeed a DC 27 Fortitude save or be deafened for 1d4 minutes. The force of the roar acts as windstorm force winds, emitted in a 140 foot line from the zilla that last until the zilla’s next turn.
Subtle Presence (Su) A zilla can make Stealth checks to hide from creatures with blindsight, blindsense and tremorsense. It cannot hide from supernatural senses, such as lifesense or thoughtsense.
