Author's Note: I wanted to make something for Godzilla's 60th anniversary, so I decided I would use my wits and writing ability to make a Godzilla timeline where every monster in the Godzilla series inhabits it in a way that fits in its own continuity. There is no other story this timeline is connected to. The timeline is the story. I have encorporated many of the different stories and ideas from the Godzilla franchise, ranging from the movies to the comics and books to the video games. Also included ideas and events from some fan ideas like Godzilla Neo and Daikaiju Neo, but I've included some of my own ideas, as well as some ideas from my Gigantis: Frozen Point timeline. I've worked REALLY hard on this and did research in the areas I wasn't certain about in order to make everything fit continuity-wise. I'm very proud of what I have here and I hope that all of you who read it enjoy it.
NOTE: There are slight spoilers here regarding the new Godzilla movie, so if you haven't seen it, try not to read too much of the event under 230 Million Years Ago.
Godzilla and the plethora of other characters in his long running franchise, human or kaiju, belong to Toho.
13.82 BILLION YEARS AGO
• The Big Bang occurs and creates the entire universe. Also created are GRAND KING GHIDORAH and a race of antimatter creatures called the Millennian. The Millennians, already masters at genetic creation, start spreading life across the entire universe. Grand Ghidorah, envious of their ability to create, goes around destroying as many planets filled with life as he can. This earns him the titles "Destroyer of Worlds" and "The King of Terror" among the various races who learn of his evil. Over the next billion years, most of the Millennians' creations are driven to extinction by the three-headed hydra.
230 MILLION YEARS AGO
• Due to the large amounts of radiation on the Earth's surface, enormous creatures that feed on it rule the Earth. Their rule ends when the level of radiation decreases, causing many of them to die off, but some manage to survive by burrowing into the Earth to feed off the radiation close to the Earth's core.
65 MILLION YEARS AGO
• Grand King Ghidorah discovers Earth and enters the planet's atmosphere encased in an enormous meteorite, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs when he makes landfall. Grand Ghidorah proceeds to destroy what remains of the dinosaurs, and the planet itself, to ensure that no further life forms develop. In response to his attack, thespirit of the Earth creates GIGAMOTH in order to combat the Destroyer of Worlds. Gigamoth battles Grand Ghidorah, but despite her powers, her larval form is easily beaten by Ghidorah. Gigamoth goes to the Tree of Life and cocoons herself at its base. As she metamorphoses into her imago form, she gains additional power from the Earth. When she emerges, she attacks Grand Ghidorah with all her might. Just as it would seem that Gigamoth would beat the evil space dragon, he tries something that nearly kills himself. Using what remained of his gravitational and solar energy, he traps Gigamoth in a vortex of energy that left the Earth guardian a burnt husk once the attack ceased. Left nearly on the verge of death, Grand Ghidorah stares at the dead body of Gigamoth. Out of Gigamoth's charred body emerges MOTHRA and BATTRA. Even though he was at a disadvantage, Grand Ghidorah knew he could easily kill the newborn larvae, so he began to advance on them. Suddenly, a flash of light catches his attention. Emerging from the future comes RAINBOW LEO, who begins battling the evil dragon. Unable to withstand the powerful assault of this creature from the future, Grand Ghidorah manages to cripple Rainbow Leo with the last of his energy before he slowly made his retreat from the Earth. Nobody saw a piece of his tail that was very damaged in the battle fall off him and deep into a crevice. As Rainbow Leo rests on the ground, unable to return to the future, Battra tries to attack them due to seeing both Rainbow Leo and Mothra as enemies for the territory he just claimed for his own. Mothra, not wanting to cause any further destruction to the land through a pointless battle with her sibling, ignores him and begins encasing Leo in webbing to make a time capsule cocoon. After the deed is done, Mothra heads to a South Seas island to hibernate in a cocoon, and Battra heads to an area that will be Siberia in the future.
• A small number of dinosaur species manage survive the Great Extinction, among them being the Godzillasaurs, Rodans (a sub-species of pteranodon), Angilasaurs (a sub-species of ankylosaur), and Gorosaurs (a sub-species of allosaur).
SEVERAL YEARS LATER (STILL 65 MILLION YEARS AGO)
• Ever since his defeat on Earth, Grand Ghidorah has attacked other planets with underdeveloped lifeforms in an attempt to regain his strength through both solar and life force energies. He comes across the planet belonging to an alien race known as the Garoga. He attacks them, causing great destruction. The Garogas, intrigued by the destructive capabilities of the golden hydra, take a significant amount of his genetic information when they launch a huge attack against him. Not willing to lose more energy and possibly his life, Grand Ghidorah leaves the planet and roams the universe for easier planets to destroy. The Garogas start using the genetic information they've recovered to create a new Ghidorah that will be easier to control.
• The Millennians learn of Grand Ghidorah's defeat at the hands of an Earth creature, so a large number of them head to Earth in order to experiment on the surviving life forms, create new and more gigantic creatures, and re-populate the Earth's ecosystems. The antimatter aliens re-create the long-extinct MEGANULONS and MEGANULAS, genetically modifying them in order to defend the planet against Grand Ghidorah should he return. This causes a war between the Meganula swarms and the surviving Rodans. In addition, they create the CYCLOPS CREATURE, but it soon becomes very destructive and starts attacking everything in sight. In order to prevent it from obliterating any of their other genetically-engineered guardians, the Millennians place it on an island and create a force field device that will not only contain the beast there, but make the island invisible to those outside the barrier. The Millennians leave the Earth, but don't get far before being intercepted by a fleet of Tachyon ships. The Tachyon were a race created by the Millennians, and just like their creators they had a knack for genetic modification and creation, but like Grand Ghidorah they were jealous of the Millennians and wanted to exterminate them so they could be the sole creators of life in the universe. The Tachyon ships attack the Millennians' fleet. During the cataclysmic battle, one of each ship is badly damaged and falls to the Earth's surface. The Millennian ship sinks beneath the ocean waves in what will soon be the Japan Trench, while the Tachyon ship called the Leviathan sinks down into what will soon become the Hazard Abyss. The battle is won by the Tachyons, but due to their crippled state, they are unable to receive the distress signal from the Leviathan. Weeks pass and the Tachyons aboard the Leviathan give up hope in a rescue party, so they begin creating the REPTILIANS to guard the inside of their ship while genetically mutating some CRYPTOCLEIDUS to guard the outside. Once those tasks are done, they go into suspended-animation.
• The Rodans drive the Meganula swarms back into extinction, aside from one small group of Meganulons who manage to escape death by burrowing underground. During the twilight hours of the war. one Meganula enters a mysterious worm hole that suddenly appears in order to take the last Meganulon egg to a safe place.
• Due to Earth's various climate changes over the following millions of years, the giant creatures that the Millennians create burrow underground and fall into deep slumber throughout various parts of the world.
78,000 YEARS AGO
• The Garogas complete their creation, naming it KING GHIDORAH. Since they are unaware of where Grand King Ghidorah was or if he was even still alive, they order King Ghidorah to fill-in his role as the Destroyer of Worlds in order to bring misery and chaos to every living being, besides them, in the universe. King Ghidorah sets out on his mission, destroying numerous planets throughout his travels. Upon arriving in the Milky Way Galaxy, King Ghidorah heads for the Solar System containing the Earth. Although he is curious about the planet Earth, he gets this gut feeling that he's been there before, despite having no memory of it, and that something very unpleasant happened there. His instincts tell him to stay away from the blue and green planet, at least for now. Instead, King Ghidorah descends on the planet Mars where a race of tiny aliens called the Elias live. The golden hydra devastates the entire planet before he's driven off to Venus. After wiping out any trace of life on Venus, making it a hot and desolate planet, King Ghidorah continues on his way, unaware that some Venusians managed to survive. With the Elias' home planet a barren wasteland, the survivors head to Earth for safety after noticing King Ghidorah's hesitation to go there. Upon arriving on the island Mothra is hibernating on, which the dub Infant Island, they begin setting up their new civilization. The alien race discovers Mothra's cocoon, and once Mothra emerges from it in her imago form, the Elias begin worshiping it as their deity. Many years after their civilization is finished, the Elias begin creating a weather control machine in order to make Earth's environment more like Mars' in order to make the planet more suitable for them. Sensing the Earth is in danger, Battra emerges from the glacier he was hibernating in and morphs into his imago form. Mothra, also sensing the harm the machine could cause the planet, tries to peacefully explain the harm their machine could cause to the Earth. Unfortunately, her words don't change the minds of those who created the machine. It isn't long before Battra arrives, and he immediately assaults the Elias and their weather machine full-force. Seeing good in the Elias despite their mistake, Mothra begins to defend them from Battra. Their battle soon causes enough damage to the machine to make it enter defense mode by transforming itself into a living creature called RAZIN. Putting aside their differences, Mothra and Battra join forces to fight Razin. The moth siblings end up defeating the weather creature, but the Elias and their civilization are all wiped out aside from three sisters; Moll, Lora, and Belvera. Moll and Lora realize what their race did was wrong and that they should have listened to Mothra, but their elder sister Belvera, who even though is very affected by the annihilation of her race, believes that Battra's attempt to exterminate the Elias was right. This causes a rift between the sisters that causes Moll and Lora to become Mothra's priestesses on Infant Island while Belvera and her cyborg pet GARU-GARU side with Battra, following him back to his territory.
32,000 YEARS AGO
• The piece of Grand Ghidorah that fell into the Earth millions of years ago has finally regenerated a new body which combines its natural Ghidorahian traits with that of the Earth's ground and fire elements to create DESGHIDORAH. Desghidorah breaks free of the ground using his earth-bending ability and begins rampaging across the planet, draining the life force from plants so he could grow even more powerful than he already was. Sensing the frighteningly large amount of destruction this spawn of Grand Ghidorah was causing to the planet, Mothra and Battra once again set aside their differences and battle Desghidorah for the greater good. The battle is long and fierce, with both Mothra and Battra's old age hindering them. In the climax of the battle, Battra is killed and Mothra is badly hurt. Seeing that Mothra is on her last legs, Desghidorah performs his most powerful move; the Fiery Pyre Road. Using his earth-bending and fire-bending, he splits the ground open and causes the flames from the Earth's core to spew high into the air. Using the last of her strength, Mothra surprises Desghidorah by ramming into him, knocking both of them into the pit of fire. Before her life force fades, Mothra uses a sealing technique to close the ground above them and imprison herself and the dreaded hydra under the Earth in the area that will soon become the forests of Hokkaido.
• The egg Mothra laid much earlier hatches on Infant Island to continue her proud legacy while Battra is reincarnated inside an egg frozen in a Siberian iceberg, ready to hatch whenever the spirit of the Earth summons him. Belvera disappears for some time after witnessing the defeat of Desghidorah alongside her sisters.

• The Nilai Kanai emerges as a greatly technological and mystically advanced society. Through their advanced knowledge in science and magic, they produce amazing feats of technology that have yet to be discovered and understood by modern science. Unfortunately they are unable to control their pollution problem, so they create DAGAHARA, a kaiju that would take care of the problem by feeding on their pollution. They quickly realize the mistake they've made when Dagahra begins creating his BAREM sea stars as a by-product of his pollution consumption. The Barem begin destroying the ocean's ecosystem and Dagahra soon turns on his creators. Needing to stop the monsters, the military battles Dagahra while the scientists create a new form of life called the GHOGO in order to fight the Barem. The Ghogo are creatures capable of secreting a liquid that can heal any disease or injury, as well as destroy Barem. Despite the aid of these magical creatures, the people of Nilai Kanai are destroyed by Dagahra as their civilization sinks into the ocean depths. The last of the Nilai Kanai place the last remaining Ghogo is sealed away in a temple. After the last of the Nilai Kanai's pollution is consumed by Dagahra, the monster falls into deep slumber beside the sunken temple. Without any food to consume, the remaining Barem die off and undersea life begins returning.
11,000 YEARS AGO
• As humans began to grow and develop, the spirit of the Earth decides to test humanity to see if they can truly be the dominant life forms on the planet. Using the essence of Grand King Ghidorah and Desghidorah, along with the eight elements of the Earth, OROCHI is created. Orochi begins rampaging across human settlements, leaving humanity's fate grim. According to the Kojiki, the Shinto God of the Sea and Storms, Susano-o, comes to Earth to fight the eight-headed dragon. He tracks down Orochi and sets out eight gigantic bowls of sake for the kaiju. Once each of its heads drink the sake, the beast becomes weakened and slightly drunk. Knowing the time to finish the beast off was now, Susano-o calls to his sister Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun, and they merge with each other to become UTSUNO IKUSAGAMI. The Sun God makes short work of Orochi, slicing off each of its heads until the terrible hydra was no more. As Utsuno Ikusagami returns to the heavens above, it's unaware of what is going on below. On Earth, the heads of Orochi slowly become sentient beings, taking lives and appearances of their own. From those eight heads, the monsters BALKZARDAN (the elemental monster of Light), JYARUMU (the elemental monster of Shadow), BARAGON (the elemental monster of Earth), MANDA (the elemental monster of Water), VARAN (the elemental monster of Wind), SHIIGAN (the elemental monster of Thunder), BARUGARON (the elemental monster of Fire), and VAGNOSAURUS (the elemental monster of Venom) are born. The eight Orochi Spawn immediately begin a great battle amongst each other in order to reform Orochi (this would happen due to the spirit and chi of the monster killed in battle being forced to give his chi to the victor until only one Orochi Spawn remained, who would then become the eight-headed dragon reborn). Baragon fights Barugaron, Manda fights Shiigan, Varan fights Vagnosaurus, and Balkzardan fights Jyarumu. The battle between the eight kaiju is long and fierce, with most of the land getting destroyed as a result. Baragon defeats Barugaron and gains his elemental power over fire, Manda kills Shiigan and receives his elemental power over thunder, and Varan defeats Vagnosaurus and takes her elemental power over venom. Balkzardan and Jyarumu's battle takes them all the way to China due to being evenly matched throughout. Needing them to reform Orochi, the other three kaiju begin following their brother and sister. The battle between the elemental monsters of Light and Shadow ends when Balkzardan attacks with her Light energy and Jyarumu attacks with his Shadow energy, causing an enormous explosion that pulls both monsters into it as the remaining Orochi Spawn watch. When the smoke clears, all that's left is a large, fleshy ball floating in mid-air. Sensing Balkzardan and Jyarumu's presence inside the floating ball of brown flesh, Baragon and his siblings prepare to launch an attack on it. Before they can do so, the ball releases many fireballs in a shock wave pattern which knocks them down. Just as they get back up, the ball of flesh explodes, destroying the forest entire forest and sending the three Orochi Spawn reeling backward in pain. When the smoke clears for a second time, they all see that BAGAN is in its place. Filled with an unquenchable rage and a thirst for blood, Bagan begins attacking its former siblings. All across the Earth, every living thing senses Bagan, knowing the beast to be death incarnate. Monsters from around the world flock to China to stop Bagan as it begins destroying every living thing across the land. Joining Baragon, Varan, and Manda against the beast are Utsuno Ikusagami, MAJIN TUOL and the GOLDEN GUARDIANS (three enormous stone entities created and given life by the spirit of Earth using the earth), the GRYPHON (an enormous hybrid creature with the body of a puma, the wings of a bat, and the head of a hydra with snake tongues; it would later be the inspiration for the Griffin in Greek mythology), Mothra, Battra, and the three gestalt "Beast Gods" of the Kunishiroshima Valley, DORAGON REIJUU, ENJIN REIJUU, and MIZU REIJUU. The thirteen kaiju battle valiantly against the evil Bagan, but even with their great numbers, Bagan was able to overcome and kill the Gryphon, Battra, and Majin Tuol as the battle begins moving toward the Himalayan Mountains. Watching from the mountains are a race of intelligent yeti called the Watchuka. Knowing the importance of Bagan's defeat, the Watchuka sent their god, the GREAT WATCHUKA to aid the monsters. As the giant abominable snowman joins the battle, Doragon, Enjin, and Mizu merge together and become SOKUNIKUSU (a strange-looking kaiju that is basically Doragon, Enjin, and Mizu stacked on top each other like a totem pole). Bagan was finally overcome when Mothra, the Golden Guardians, Utsuno Ikusagami, and Sokunikusu cause an enormous avalanche on the Himalayan Mountains and bury Bagan under tons of ice. Unfortunately, Sokunikusu gives his life to insure that Bagan would be in the correct spot and is killed by Bagan's plasma beam. The last thing Bagan sees before being forced into suspended animation is the sight of the kaiju who opposed him roaring in victory, which enrages him. With Bagan taken care of, the kaiju go their separate ways. With Balkzardan and Jyarumu no longer capable of giving away their chi energy, Orochi would never be formed again, causing Baragon, Varan, and Manda to go their separate ways in peace. The Watchuka begin guarding the tomb of Bagan to insure that the beast would never be awoken again.
• An enormous space ship containing the city of Atlantis arrives on the continent of Lemuria close to where the Mu Empire is beginning to grow. The Muans learn of these new people and interact with them. The Atlanteans share their technology with the Muans and befriend them. The Muans quickly become the most advanced human race on the planet. The Atlanteans learn of the giant monsters who roam this planet and create a guardian to protect them and their city: COLOSSUS.
10,000 YEARS AGO
• Manda shows up along the coast of Mu Empire and begins attacking the coastal cities in intense aggravation. With the Empress afraid to send her army to further invoke the beast's wrath, she is unable to think of a way to stop the Orochi Spawn. The Empress' wise and philosophical aid, Master Shisa, suggests that a peace offering be made. High Inquisitor Augustus argues against the idea, believing that the Mu Empire's military could easily crush the Orochi Spawn. Master Shisa's idea is done instead, and the Empress allows the Mu Empire's greatest treasure, an enormous pearl filled with beauty, to be given to Manda. Unable to carry it farther than outside of the castle, Master Shisa gets an idea. Heading over to Manda, Master Shisa gets the monster's attention. Deciding to take her anger out on the human, Manda slithers through the streets of Mu after him, causing slight destruction in her wake. Just as she's about to eat Master Shisa, she sees the pearl. Its beauty squelches her rage and she becomes infatuated with it. The Empress announces its meaning to the Orochi Spawn, who understands. Accepting the peace offering, Manda returns to the water and becomes the guardian of the Mu Empire.
• Many, many months later, High Inquisitor Augustus, who has been plotting against the Empress ever since she had Master Shisa lead Manda through the city to the pearl, rallies an army of others who are loyal to him in order to overthrow her. As the Mu Liberation Forces fought back the traitors, Manda arrives. Witnessing the serpent monster quickly wiping out most of his followers, Augustus flees to the Temple of Gods with a plan in mind. Augustus begins searching the temple of giant statues for what he wanted, but Master Shisa and the Empress interrupt him. The two men duel until an accidental tail whip from Manda strikes the temple, causing falling debris to injure both men. As the Empress pulls the wounded Shisa to safety, Augustus crawls over to the nearest statue, one of an enormous four-legged lion god known in Mu mythos, and begins transferring his soul into it. Once the transfer is complete, Augustus' body turns to dust and the statue begins cracking until the actual monster breaks out from inside it. Augustus has now become the FIRE LION. The Fire Lion breaks out of the temple from its side and begins attacking Manda. Both armies flee from the battling behemoths, all of them watching to see who will win. While the battle rages on, the Empress moves Shisa's body over to another statue; this one of an upright lion. In order to save his life, she transfers his soul into that of the staute, allowing Shisa to inhabit the body of KING CAESAR. The Fire Lion quickly defeats Manda and leaves her unconscious body for dead as he returns to the Temple of Gods so he can kill the Empress. Just as he arrives, King Caesar leaps out of the entrance the Fire Lion made and tackles the monster to the ground. As Caesar and the Fire Lion start their battle, the Empress sends out a prayer to Mothra, one that the insect deity hears. Mothra departs Infant Island and begins heading to the Mu Empire in order to help. Watching Mothra arrive, the Mu Empress pleads with her to take her people to safety. Although she is unable to take all of them, Mothra manages to take one-third of the population back to her home on Infant Island. Halfway into the battle between the two lion-like gods, the continent of Lemuria is struck by an earthquake with enough force to cause it to start sinking into the ocean. The remaining population flee beneath the city to safety while King Caesar forces the Fire Lion out to sea and keeps him away from the sinking continent until King Caesar manages to drown him. At this time, the Atlanteans flee to their sleeping pods in order to survive. Unfortunately, the earthquake has damaged Colossus' artificial intelligence, causing him to keep them in suspended animation. When Mothra returns, the entire continent of Lemuria has sunk beneath the waves and only King Caesar remains. Mothra returns to Infant Island and King Caesar starts roaming the world, feeling as though he's failed his people. Manda awakens beneath the waves and continues her role as guardian of the Mu Empire. The surviving Muans continue their empire under the waves and slowly start adapting to underwater life through the creation of underwater suits. Unfortunately, resistance is met again, this time by Augustus' son, Antonio the First. Not wanting to live underwater, he and those who follow him leave the Mu Empire in one of the kingdom's submarines and migrate elsewhere. Tunneling underground, the deserters create a new kingdom that Antonio calls Seatopia. Antonio, being a follower of the Mu God of the Underworld, incorporates Megalon into Seatopian culture as their sole god.

86-91 AD
• The journey of Prince O-usu begins after he tells his father, Emperor Keikô, that he has killed his older brother, Prince Oh-usu. Horrified by this, the Emperor sends him to kill the two leaders of the Kumaso Kingdom, believing that O-usu will be killed. Before he leaves, his aunt Yamato-hime gives him a woman's robe and skirt, and a green amulet that will help him along the way, but only in situations of dire strait. Along the way to Kumaso, he runs into Princess Oto Tachibana, who is a practitioner in the art of magic. Together they infiltrate the kingdom during a celebration feast, but Oto is captured and used as a sacrifice for the demon KUMASOGAMI. O-usu's woman disguise allows him to kill both the Kumaso leaders, and he receives the title of Yamato Takeru from the younger leader. Hearing Oto's screams, Takeru sees that she's about to be killed by Kumasogami. Once he frees her, they start working together to battle the demon, but it is Takeru's green amulet that destroys Kumasogami for good.
• When Yamato Takeru returns home and tells his father of his success, the Emperor commands him to go to the East to kill the ruler of Sagamu. Before leaving, he and Oto visit Yamato-hime again, who gives him a special sword called the Grass-Mower. The Prince and Princess depart for Sagamu, and upon arriving, the ruler deceives Yamato by telling him the Orochi Spawn Varan lives in the lake that's in the middle of the moor and has been terrorizing his people for the past month. When Takeru and Oto arrive at the moor, the ruler of Sagamu and his followers set fire to the land in order to kill them. Using the Grass-Mower, Yamato cuts down the grasses and his amulet counters the fire. When he reaches the ruler, Yamato kills the man and all of his followers. As they travel back to Yamato across the Hashirimizu Sea, the God of the Straits, KAISHIN MUBA, appears and attacks their boat. Unable to defeat the monster, Oto sacrifices herself in order for Takeru to return home safely. Upon arriving in Yamato, he builds a burial mound for her.
• When Yamato Takeru returns to his father, the Emperor is further shocked. Having learned that the two Orochi Spawns, Baragon and Varan, are attacking the Niigata and Yamanashi Prefectures respectively, Emperor Keikô sends Takeru to take care of the sacred beasts, confident that he will be killed this time. Like twice before, Yamato Takeru visits his aunt and she gives him three of her finest priests to aid him. Upon arriving in Niigata, they discover Baragon feasting upon the villagers. Noticing the monster's appetite, Takeru has a thousand bowls of rice made, which are presented to Baragon. When the monster eats its fill, Takeru, with the help of the priests, uses his amulet to capture and purify the monster's spirit before trapping it inside of a stone idol. After placing the idol near Mt. Myoko, Yamato Takeru and his priests head to Yamanashi. When Yamato Takeru arrives, he and the priests witness Varan viciously attacking everything in sight. Watching the beast, Takeru has no idea how to defeat Varan until the priests tell him to pray to the god Oorchiriou for aid. Their prays are heard, for the divine bird AMANO SHIRATORI arrives and begins battling Varan. Although the symbol of Oorchiriou battles with all its might, Varan is much stronger. Seeing that the mighty bird is about to be slain, Yamato Takeru gains the monster's attention with a mighty shout. Although this costs him his life when Varan hits the Prince with a mighty swipe, it distracts the beast long enough for Amano Shiratori to deliver a stunning blow. Forcing himself to stay alive, Yamato watches as the priests use his amulet to capture Varan's spirit and trap it in a stone idol, but they are unable to quench its rage. As Yamato Takeru dies, his final wish to soar into the sky comes true when he turns into a white bird and soars into the heavens with Amano Shiratori. The priests place the stone idol deep within Mt. Fuji.

Finally, a mysterious monk comes to the island in an attempt to help the people. The man willingly gives his life to the demon and is able to combat the demon spiritually into a standstill, petrifying its body.
