Dagon

Dagon, known to the Japanese as Raijin (雷神 Raijin), is a member of Godzilla's species that first appears as a skeletal corpse in the 2014 Legendary Pictures film Godzilla, and is explored further in Godzilla: Aftershock, the official graphic prequel novel to Godzilla: King of the Monsters. In the 11th century, B.C., a group of Phoenicians made their way to the Japanese islands, where they encountered a gigantic creature which they believed to be their god Dagon. They witnessed a battle between Dagon and the entity the Japanese called Jinshin-Mushi, in which Dagon was defeated and infected with his enemy's parasitic young. The Phoenicians witnessed Dagon regain consciousness and return to the sea, and while they assumed that he lived on, he eventually collapsed and died in the Philippines. His skeleton was unearthed in 1999 A.D., unleashing the two MUTO spores which had incubated inside of him. Godzilla, another member of Dagon's species, managed to fight and kill both MUTOs in 2014 before they could reproduce, and later slew Jinshin-Mushi when it emerged to try and implant its larvae inside of him.
