Description
Mutant InvertebrateCRUSTACEOUS REX
HEIGHT: 50 meters
MASS: 24,000 metric tons
BIO:
When ZILLA Jr. was presumed dead, Nick Tatopoulos lead the HEAT team with a heavy heart to Jamaica, where reports of another mutation were flooding across the internet. It was here that a new species of giant squid from the deep ocean had been driven into relatively safer feeding grounds by…something.
As it turned out, Zilla had survived the attack and followed HEAT to the South Seas, where he saved the crew from a massive squid attack. As it turned out, the thing that had chased the squids from their habitat made itself known: a giant crustacean which Randy Hernandez later dubbed CRUSTACEOUS REX, although Victor “Animal” Palotti suggested the name “Giant Walking Crab Cake.” The former stuck.
Crustaceous Rex is a relentless foe, although it is not specifically aggressive towards humans. In fact, the only time it actively chased people was when Nick and French operative Monique DuPre lead the monster into the nearby jungle with a truckload of highway tar. The kaiju was feeding on tar-and-tar-like-substances like that produced by the giant squids, and after Zilla burned up its food supply, it was left with little recourse. When it specifically threatened Nick, Zilla leapt into the fray, and used a combination of wits and a set of GODZILLA-like powers not present in his biological father to defeat the monster, crushing it under tons of rock.
After analyzing C-Rex’s DNA, Nick and Elsie Chapman discovered that it shared a remarkably similar genetic structure to Zilla, and, by extension, Godzilla. What was going on?!
ABILITIES/ASPECTS:
- Armored hide protects from most conventional weaponry
- Surprisingly agile
- Moderate healing factor
- Able to regurgitate tar as a form of self-defense
- Tentacles on underbelly used for grappling
UP NEXT – El Gusano

I have a doubt in the Neo series, the Crustaceus rex was destroyed by Zilla in his first fight or fought some other time?

He did show up on Monster Island in the cartoon but I'am pretty sure he's dead in the Neo continuity.

Excellent revamp of one of Gino's more interesting foes, like how ya gave him more body armor and curved spikes to make him seem more intimidating and crustacean like (crab claw like mandibles were a nice touch too)

pretty awesome. I love how your design actually looks like a crusteceon. they actually discribed it as a "g=cell mutated giant squid" so why is it CRUSTECEUS rex? In my design, it's mostly the same design, but I will be calling it "cephalopodus rex" instead.

Squid is quite delicious, though you would probably get cancer by eating him.

Strangely enough this was always one of my faves from the Zilla cartoons. x3
Sure brings back memories. The last time I watched that cartoon must have been at least 5 years ago! D:
I really love your version of the C-Rex.

The others that will be coming along are Kamoebas and Komodithrax after El Gusano. However, there are the Lizard Slayers, and maybe even one, two things from GTS.

Nah. He's not really continuing Godzilla Neo... Or at least I don't think he is. Doing The Last Hope stuff right now, at least.

Being that I was never exposed to "C-Rex" before, when I first looked at it my guess was that the "C" stood for "Cthulhu", and the tentacles on the underside didn't do much to persuade me otherwise XD
oh well, still awesome

I'm sorry, but saying any long-armed animal looks like the cloverfield monster is just stupid. Oh, so gorillas look like the cloverfield monster, an inbred human looks like the cloverfield monster?
I seriously dont think the cloverfield guys copied the godzilla cartoon. Crabs have long "arms" or claws anyhow.
