Newest Kaiju since Orga
editThere seems to be some disagreement over this. While it is true that Monster X and Megaguirus are technically new monsters (Toho has considers them to be legally distinct characters) and are more recent than Orga, the opening statement refers to the MUTO as "first wholly original kaiju" since Orga. Monster X and Megaguirus are variations based on classic Toho monsters (Ghidorah and Meganulon, respectively.) Orga and the MUTO are without precedent in the Godzilla franchise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.109.237 (talk) 04:30, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- Fair assessment. Now on to a different subject brought up by you, I see you've reverted your edit to reinstating the "Hok-Muto" & "Fem-Muto" names to the alias section. I have taken the liberty of removing them yet again and for two reasons, ONE: each Muto is never referenced in either way in the film, simply Mutos. Those names came from the film's first draft screenplay, granted with revisions, the names simply changed to just Mutos as it was reflected in the film, additionally, the male Muto was called "Hok-Muto" in the script because it came from Hokkaido. In the film, the Male came from Janjira. The geological basis on why the Muto was named "Hok-Muto" in the script just won't synch up with the final film version given that they appeared at separate locations. SECONDLY: "Hok-Muto" and "Fem-Muto" have no legal capacity. In your edit, you commented that, Might as well claim "Orga" and "Millenian" aren't legit since they were never mentioned in the film. While this is correct, the one thing that Orga and the Millenian do have over the Mutos nicknames is legal capacity. Orga and the Millenian are trademarked and officially published as their names are. There isn't a single product that dubs either Mutos as "Hok" or "Fem", just simply Mutos.

- Fair enough. According to the "Destruction" and "Chibi" packs, the male MUTO is designated as "Winged MUTO" and the female as "Eight-Legged MUTO". These names probably meet the criteria to count as official aliases. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.109.237 (talk) 14:03, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes they do. They also distinguish which MUTO is which. I've taken the liberty of citing the alternative aliases in case someone questioned where they came from. Armegon (talk) 19:55, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- The Meganulon itself was never actually in a Godzilla film. The basic form made an appearance in Rodan and the evolved forms were never seen in any movie prior to Megaguirus. kav2001c (talk) 01:41, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
Changes/expand on the MUTO article?
editGiven that the MonsterVerse is officially a thing now and the MUTO's from Godzilla 2014 aren't the only MUTO's in that universe, should we expand the MUTO article by adding MUTO's from Kong: Skull Island? You know, should we make the article reference all the MUTO's in the MonsterVerse so far rather than just have it be a character page exclusively for the 2014 MUTO's? What are your thoughts?
