A More Realistic Take on Ghidorah

Think about it for a second, where in nature have we seen multi headed creatures? Well, the answer to that question, is siamese twins, or siamese animals. What if ghidorah was,  like godzilla and the mutos, a prehistoric creature. We should know by now that reptiles are capable of having multiple offspring in one egg. What if one particular egg was supposed to have 3 offspring, but like the skeleton above, the offspring combined into one individual creature that bore 3 heads and 2 tails, but still maintained a somewhat proportional upper and lower body. After seeing the hideous creature, the mother abandons it, forcing it to survive on its own, itt develops certain skills and fighting techniques that the others could not learn under the care of a mother. Eventually it grows strong enough to challenge even the mighty Godzilla.

If you agree/disagree, let me know why in the comments. I really wanna hear what y`all think about this.

I would prefer his to be from space, but I guess making him a abnormality even among the monsters from Godzilla's time wouldn't be too bad.

I doubt Ghidorah will be from space. If Godzilla wasn't awaken by a nulear bomb in the new series for "realism" then why would they let Ghidorah be from space? That's my logic, we'll see in 2018 :P

I like this, it's reminiscent of the Heisei origins, and even makes some logical sense. Thanks for sharing!

Why do people say space isnt realistic?

Do you know what the chances of life out there is given its vastness?

He could just be known as a space creature who comes from space who destroys on its own free will; like Showa.

Remember that chap, I forget his name, he climbed Everest without any oxygen, came down nearly dead. They asked him, they said, "Why did you go up there to die?" He said, "I didn't, I went up there to live."

A 3 headed space monster is just as "realistic" as an ancient giant nuclear absorbing monster that's near indestructible.

I do have my own theory on this, guys! It combines a bit of the old King Ghidorah (mainly his Showa incarnation because many agree that's the best), and a bit of new grounded aspects from the 2014 Godzilla film.

This is the link to my full blog detailing how I think is the best way to approach King Ghidorah.

Ghidorah should be from space.  I don't know how Legendary could make him fit into the plot if he was from Earth, though either story would be interesting, I can't wait.

84GOJI4EVR - That's actually a very clever and neat idea! I personally would prefer Ghidorah to have an extraterrestrial origin; however, if that isn't the case, your notion has a great deal of potential! Thank you for sharing this with us! :)

EVERYONE - Space is a fine place within which Ghidorah can arise! The Drake Equation alone states that the chances of intelligent extraterrestrial life existing are extremely high! Therefore, it's safe to assume that non-sapient organisms are likely very abundant in space! Even as we speak, our greatest space pioneers are preparing missions to begin mining asteroids and comets. Who knows? Perhaps Ghidorah will be found dormant within the heart of an asteroid that happens to be the final remnants of a planet that died billions of years ago. It's very exciting to ponder! :)

Like i keep saying, he has to come from space. Ghidorah has always had that reputation of break everything and kill everyone except GMK. However, it was also i who said that he should have arrived here during the dinosaur ages through asteriods or metorites and was responsible for killing all dinosaurs, except godzilla. In my personal opinion i think this would fit great for legendary's universe, and besides that, it would make all fans happier to know that he is coming from space.

So you guys are saying that space is just where he has to come from! I just don't buy it. Why would they ruin this series just for a origin? Earth is the best rought because it a lot more believely for the general audience but not for you guys because your "best" origin will be ruin. There is nowhere exact proof of aliens and that this could come from earth. 

I think being part of the snake family is the best due to the fact their are muit headed snakes!!

There are strong men and weak men. The strong ones are here to keep the weak ones up when ever they fail.

Yeah but regardless of realism or not, godzilla will never be realistic. That is a fact. I don't mind an earth origin, i got nothing against it as long as it makes sense to everyone.

I'm just saying Gareth basically said this is what he was doing

High Flyers, you seem to forget that Gareth has never done the realistic approach with the creatures themselves, just that they have grounded aspects that will suspend disbelief. It's the world around them that's supposed to be realistic.

Tell me......... what kind of origin would supposedly make King Ghidorah realistic in any sense? Mind you, the core characteristics need to remain the same: three-heads, flying, bigger than Godzilla, two tails, and spews lightning-like energy.

What kind of origin could ever possibly be any more realistic for that?

The thing we also have to look at is this, so many different people out here believe in several different things, like aliens, dragons, etc.

I'm very much against an earth origin. It's boring that every single monster has the same origin Godzilla and the MUTOs did, chances are Rodan and Mothra will share similar origins. That just leaves Ghidorah.

If we want to talk about how realistic it is if it did or did not come from space how about we address the fact that will be 5 different giant monster that were all sleeping without anyone noticing anything. That's not all that realistic either.

^That is an excellent point there durp. Like i said in my last post, we all could believe in very different things. Like i believe in God, some may or may not, there are people out here who believe in aliens and those who don't.

^I know what you mean there HFTT. But that is my point, everyone out here in this world has different beliefs in so many things.

HIGH FLYERS TAG TEAM - Perhaps we could consider a hybrid theory for Ghidorah's origin - one that maintains his extraterrestrial background but has him "originate" on Earth. I once posted a theory positing that Ghidorah could be brought to Earth via a severe mishap with the Large Hadron Collider - perhaps a terrible accident that results in a momentary "rip" between dimensions of space-time that allow the monster to step through to our world! That could be very compelling and terrifying all at once! :)

Saying an alien origin would "ruin" anything is nonsense. Only if it were done poorly. Gareth has stated he's bent on putting a "realistic" slant on Godzilla, but the doesn't mean he can't take the space origin of King Ghidorah as "realistic" as possible either. "Realism" does not mean a stunt on sci-fi variables. And it certainly doesn't mean extraterrestrial life is out of the equation.
